SIX CANDIDATES IN OHIO.
But the Contest Lies Between Nash

CINCINNATI, OHIO Nov 6.-There are
six candidates for governor to be voted
for in Ohio tomorrow. Three of them
claim their election is sure The Jones
vote will reduce the vote OF all others, and
the result depends on where most Of the
Jones vote Will come from. 1t is certain
that either George X. Nash. Republican,
or John Il. Mclean, Democratic, will
be elected. II Jones polls more from the
Democratic than from the Republican the
prediction Of Chairman Dick, that Nash
Will have 5000 plurality may be realized.
But II Chairman Seward is correct I'm as
Stunning that Jones viii draw much more
heavily from the Republicans than from
the Democrats then Mclean will be
elected.

tendency will continue az the polls, to-
morrow and that there will be many ar
rests. especially in the cities.
