COLUMBUS. o., Nov. THE indications
at midnight are that the Republicans have
carried the State by over 5000 plurality.
with over ooo0 for Jones, out of total of
less than 100000. 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 L. Daugherty, his rival for the nomi-
nation. Judge Nash said that the Ohio re-
suit was a message to President Mckinley
that his home State indorsed his admins
tion and reelection in 1900 The Republicans
made theirs Largest gains at the homes OF
Judge Nash, Senator Hanna and Chairman
Dick The Democrats made their largest
gains at the home of Mr.. Mclean.
At 10 p. m- the chairmen of both the Re-
publican and Democratic state committees
were claiming the election of their respec-
tive tickets and also a majority of the
Legislature. There are no Jones legislative
or other candidates, but Samuel NJ. Jones,
mayor OF Toledo. is certainly the closest
third that ever entered the Ohio guberna-
torial race. When Judge Nash was seen,
at 10 o'clock. he claimed his election as Gov
ernor, and Chairman Dick said he was as
sured the Republicans had carried every
thing. Mr.. Mclean, when asked If he
claimed his election. replied he had no an
swer yet TO make. Chairman Seward, of
the Democratic committee, said he was not
prepared yet to answer the question.
At 1880 Hon. C. L. Kurtz. the Ohio men,
ber Of the Republican national committee.
who was In Governor Bushnelrs office figur-
ing on the returns, said: "I regard the
returns received up TO this time as insult
ficient to make correct estimate on the
vote for Governor. The first precincts re-
ported are usually the ones In which there
Is small vote. and that vote is less liable
to nuctuation than in other precincts Hence
Il Is idle to claim either the election of Nash
or Of Mclean as yet"
After II p. m. the returns showed that the
Democratic gains in Cincinnati and other
cites were reduced and that Mclean was
likely to be third at Cleveland and possibly
at Toledo. In which cities Jones drew much
more heavily from the Democrats than
from the Republicans. At the same time
the Republican net gains outside of Gin
cinnati. Cleveland and Toledo were increas-
ing at such rate as to Indicate a plurality
OF from 5000 TO 1900 for Judge Nash for
Governor and the entire Republican state
ticket, including majority Of the Legis-
iature. Chairman Dick had, previous to the
election. repeatedly claimed the election Of
the entire Republican state ticket by not
less than 5o,oco plurality. At IL o'clock he
refused to give out any figures, but those
around him said this meant that he had no
reason to change his first figures. The
later returns seem to be growing in favor
OF the Republicans. especially since the re-
turns indicate that Jones hurt the Demo-
Gratis much more than the Republicans in
Cleveland Toledo and Columbus and other
cities. while the first reports indicated ex-
actly the opposite effect.
Judge Nash. Republican candidate, was
receiving the congratulations Of his friends
and neighbors at the Neil House after IL D.
m He said: II claim my election by at
least 3oeoo, but / am too much engaged
TO give a statement OF the causes or %
analyze the results for the press" The
bands and clubs were then serenading him.
At 1i:2o Chairman Charles Dick gave out
the following: THE returns fro m Hamilton.
Cuyahoga and Lucas counties are as yet too
meager 10 give definite figures. Enough
have been received 10 indicate the election
OF Judge Nash BY a greater plurality than
that OF Governor Bushnell two years ago.
which was =. les. thus insuring the election
Of the entire Republican state ticket Both
branches of the Legislature are Repub-
iican."
After this announcement further returns
were received indicating greater Repub-
lican gains. and the band that had been
awaiting orders at Republican state head
