al returns.
Republican Chairman Dick has re.
vised his figures so as to claim from
$4,000 to G0,000 plurality for Judge
Nash for governor, and the rest of the
republican state ticket, and an un.
usually large majority in both
branches of the Legislature. No sen.
ator is. however, to be selected by this
legislature. The total vote was per.
haps exceeded only at the last presia
dental election. 1t will reach 1000
as compared with $4,000 last year, and
$4,000 in 1897, with which year the
vote was compared. The plurality OF
Judge Nash exceeds that of President
Mckinley in 1896, and is almost double
that of Gov. Bushnell in 1897. The
Jones vote, although the largest ever
polled for Il third candidate. is not re.
garded as large as indicated in the
earlier returns Tuesday night. 1t is
not likely To exceed 100000. and almost
half of this vote was cast in Cleveland
Cincinnati and Toledo.
II is estimated that the Jones vote
in CGyahega county was $4,000; in
Hamilton, 10000, in Lucas, 5000, and
in Franklin, $500. Outside of the fu.
sion troubles in Hamilton, the con
fusion in Cuyahoga county and the
Jones movement in other places, the
republicans seem to have made gains
throughout the state, especially in the
rural districts.
The senate stands 10 republicans,
democrats and A doubtful. including
three from Hamilton county. The

Bridge Blown Up by the Boers

Queenstown, Cape Colony. Sunday,
Nov. st is reported that the Beers

bridge, as a terrific explosion was

The Van Buren press., 1899-11-11

Apparently, when the Colenso garri-
son evacuated that place, Friday, the
British troops missed a grand oppor-
tunity of carrying out an effective at.
tack on the rear of the disconnected
Beers. The latter appear to believe
that the Colenso column evacuated the
place as ruse, and are lying in am
bush to surprise them if they advance,
hence the immunity of the town from
occupation by the burghers.

The Next Boer Move.

There is much speculation regard
iny the next Boer move. II seems
clear that it will be impossible for
them to closely invest Ladysmith,
owing to the fortunate arrival of the

twenty-five miles in circumference,

An Important Item.

One of the most important items is
tnat Gen. French is going to Cape

southwestern part of the Transvaa.
Otherwise, so skillful a leader as Gen.
French would hardly have been with
