The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-11-08

COLUMBUS, O., Nov Z The late
Ohio returns showed Democratic gains in
Cincinnati and other cities, but that Nc
Lean was likely third at Cleveland, and
possibly at Toledo, IN which cities Jones
drew much more heavily from the Dem
Ocratlc votes than from the Republicans.
At the same time the Republican net
gains outside Cincinnati Cleveland and
Toledo were increasing at such rate as
10 indicate a plurality Of from 10000 to
10000 for Judge Nash for governor, and
the entire Republican state ticket, includ-
Ing a majority of the legislature. Chair
man Dick had, previous to the election,
claimed the election Of the entire Re
publican state ticket by not less than
$1,000 plurality. So far tonight he has re-
fused to give out any figures, but those
around him say that means that he has
now no reason to change his first figures.
The latel returns seem to be growing
in favor of the Republicans, especially
since the returns indicate that Jones hurt
the Democrats much more than the Re
pubhcans in Cleveland. Toledo, Columbus
and other cities, where the first reports
indicated exactly the opposite effect.
Judge Nash, the Republican candidate,
was receiving the congratulations of his
friends and neighbors at the NeiII house
after II D. m. He said: Il claim my
election now by over 80 600, but am too
much engaged to give the causes or to
see the results
The bands and clubs are out serenading
him.
At n:2J Chairman Dick gave out the
folio wing;
The returns from Hamilton, Cuya-
hoga and Lucas counties are, as yet, too
meager to give definite figures. Enough
nave been received to indicate the cleo
ton of Judge Nash by q greater plu-
rality than that Of Gov. Bushnell, two
years ago, which was over 70 coo. Both
branches Of the legislature are Repub-
e Hcan.
-"CharIes Dick, Chairman"
After this announcement, further re-
turns were received indicating Repub-
lican gains and the band that had been
awaiting orders at the Republican head
quarters, struck up for the first time, the
glee club joined in and the Republican
jOllifcatiOn was inaugurated and at mid
night was in full swing.
At u:S0 p. m. Chairman Seward of the
Democratic committee, was asked for
statement on the Ohio results, but de-
clined TO make one He was then asked
If he conceded the election Of Judge
Nash, or claimed the election Of Nc
Lean, to which he replied: Il will say
nothing"

or other candidates, but Samuel NJ. Jones'
mayor CT Toledo, is causing the closest
verdict that ever entered into gubernator-
tal elections. The Jones vote is principally
confined to the cities, and will not be so
large in the rural districts. There is no
monopoly for the Democrats in the gains
as the gains run for the Republicans in
some places and for the Democrats in
other sections. Even after the returns
are complete from Cincinnati, Cleveland
and Toledo it may be difficult to reach
the result positively tonight, owing to
the tides in the Jones vote, which runs in
streaks and causes Republican losses in
some places and Democratic losses in
other places.
At 10 p. m. Judge Nash claimed his
election as governor, and Chairman Dick
said he was assured the Republicans had
carried everything, but had no figures
