Columbus, O., Nov. up to late
hour tonight both democrats and re-
publcans were claiming victory, put
the republicans were the more confident.
After II p. m. the returns showed that
the democratic gains in Cincinnati and
other cities were reduced and that Nc
Lean was likely third at Cleveland and
possibly at Toledo, in which cities Jones
drew much more heavily from the dem
ocrats than from the republicans. At
the same time the republicans net gains
outside of Cincinnati, Cleveland and To-
ledo were increasing at such a rate as
to indicate plurality of from 10000 to
100000 for Judge Nash for governor and
the entire republican state ticket and
majority of the legislature
Chairman Dick had previous to the
election repeatedly claimed the election
of the entire republican state ticket by
not less than $4,000 plurality. So far
tonight he has refused to give out any
figures, but those around him say that
means that he now has no reason to
change his first figures. The later re-
turns seem to be growing in favor of
the republicans, especially since the re-
turns indicate that Jones hurt the dem
ocrats much more than the republicans
in Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and
other cities while the first reports in
dicated exactly the opposite. Judge
Nash, the republican candidate, was re-
ceiving the congra tulations of his
friends and neighbors at the Neil house
after II D. m. He said: II claim my
election now by at least 10000, but am
too much engaged to give a statement |
of the causes or to analyze the results |
for the press"
AT 11:20 Chairman Dick gave out |
the following: "The returns from HAM
ilton, Cuyahoga and Lucas counties are
as yet too meagre to give definite fig
ures. Enough has been received to in
dictate the election of Judge Nash by a
greater plurality than that of Governor
Bushnell two years ago which was 2S,-
1855, thus ensuring the election of the
entire republican ticket. Both branch
es of the legislature are republican"
After this announcement further re-
turns were received indicating greater
republican gains and the bands, that
had been awaiting orders at republican
state headquarters struck up for the
first time during the night, the glee
club chimed in and the republican jol-
was inaugurated with all sorts
of demonstrations.
AL 1880 p. m. Chairman Seward Of
the democratic committee was asked
for a statement on the Ohio results, but
declined to make one for the Associated
Press. He was then asked if he con-
ceded the election of Judge Nash or
claimed the election of Mclean to
which he replied: ''I will say moth
Ing"
There are no Jones legislative candi-
dates, but Samuel M. Jones, mayor of
Toledo, is certainly the closest third '
that ever entered the Ohio guberna torial ]
race. 1t was apparent that he had car {
ried Cayuga county early in the even !
ing but he lost in the rural districts.
