BOTH SIDES CLAIMING THE
STATE.
Columbus, November AT 10 ID. m.
the chairmen Of both the republican
and the democratic state committees
were claiming the election of their re-
spective state tickets and also a ma
jority OF the legislature. There are no
Jones legislative candidates, but Sam
uel NJ. Jones, mayor of Toledo. is GER
tainly the closest third that ever en-
tered the Ohio gubernatorial race. The
indications are hat he has drawn
more heavily from the republicans in
the cities than from the democrats with
the exception of Columbus and some
smaller cities, and that the Jones vote
will not be so large in the rural dis
tricts- There is not the usual percent
age of either republican or democratic
gains or losses, as the gains run for the
republicans in some places and for the
democrats in other sections. Even af-
ter the returns are complete from
Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo it
may be difficult to reach the result
positively tonight, owing to the tide
in the Jones vote, which runs in
streaks and causes republican losses in
some places, and democratic losses in
other places.
AT 10 O'Clock p. m, Judge Nash
claimed his election as governor and
Chairman Dick said he was assured
the republicans had carried everything
but he had NO figures yet to announce.
The Associated Press sent to Mr.. Nc
Lean at his residence asking if he
claimed his election and received the
reply that he a no answer yet to
make. Chairman Seward, of the dem
ocratic committee, said he was not pre-
pared to answer the question yet.
Springfield, o., November 7.-McLean
gets about 100 plurality in the city,
Jones 700, a democratic gain of 800.
Columbus, November THE State
Journal says: Forty-four precincts
out of 124 in Franklin county (Nash's
home) give net average republican
gain of 26 to the precinct. This will
give Nash 1000 in county. a gain of
$500 compared with 1897.
Columbus, November AT II o'clock
tonight the State Journal claims the
election of Judge Nash. republican,
for governor by over 10000.
Toledo, November 1.-THE entire re-
publican county and legislative ticket,
with one exception, is evidently elected
by pluralitieS ranging from 1000 to 5000
Yost, democrat, treasurer, is probably
reelected. At midnight SO of the ITO
precincts in the county were returned,
giving Nash Ass; Mclean 1922; Jones,
1875. Jones cut deeper into the dem
ocratic vote than was expected and
harmed the republicans less han they
feared.
Columbus, O., November Sat 1880
the republicans claimed that their plu-
rality would exceed 50,000, with over
100, 900 for Jones out of a total of less
than 900, 1000. The republican majority
in the Legislature is larger than usual,
but no senator is to be elected. Judge
Nash was serenaded after midnight at
the Neil house. To an enthusiastic
crowd he made a brief speech upon
being introduced by Hon.. Harry M.
Daugherty, his rival for the nominal
ton. Judge Nash said that the Ohio
result was a message to President Nc
Kinley that his home state endorses
his administration and presaged Nc
kinley's coordination and reelection
in 1900. The republicans made the
greatest gains at the homes of Judge
NaSh, Senator Hanna and Chairman
Dick. The democrats made their lar
gest gains at the home of Mr.. Mclean.

turns from Kenton county, Kentucky,

yOr q majority of 235 over Goebel. This
is a republican gain of 125 over Nc
kinley's vote. The democrats concede
the city to Taylor, but claim the coun-
ty by 800.
Nearly complete returns from II
counties out of 119 give Goebel a ma
jority of 1896. These reports show a
considerable republican gain over clerk
of court of appeals race of 1897.
Louisville, KY, November 7.-At 9
.. m, Chairman Long, of the repub'
can state campaign commiltee, says
