counties in Ohio with a few scattering
precincts estimated. The footings give
Nash (R) for Governor a plurality of

only the pluralities, and hence ii has
not been possible to give the total vote
of the candidates.
Jones vote, however, has been re-
ported from forty-seven counties, in
Guiding Cuyahoga, Hamilton and Sum-
NIT, where the largest vote for him
was cast. 1t shows total in forty

cred the victory won by the Republi-

suits in other States
COLUMBUS, Nov. S-The statisti
clans of the Republican headquarters
have been busy all day and night en-
deavoring to secure some accurate fig
ure on the plurality of Judge Nash. the
Republican candidate for Governor, and
tonight an unofficial table of plurali-
ties by counties was completed. This
shows that in fifty-seven counties Nash
has 81, 399 over Mclean, and in thirty
one counties Mclean has 81, O35 over
Nash This gives Nash over Mclean
in the State 50.3G4. 1t is not believed

Jones vote will reach 100 600.
IN KENTUCKY.
LOUISVILLE, Nov S.-No matter
what result the face of the returns of
yesterdays election show, a contest is
very likely to occur. Additional re-
turns received to-day and tonight con-
tinue to show Republic n gIina, and.
baslng an estimate upon The normal
complexion OF the precincts still unre-
ported, indicate a plurality of six to
eight thousand for W. s. Taylor for
Governor. The belated returns are
mostly from mountain counties, which
are strongly Republican. The Elev-
enth District, which in 1896 gave Nc
Kinley plurality of 1900. is only
about half reported. Eleven out Of
nineteen counties in this district give
Taylor pluralities aggregating 12,O62,
indicating that the Republicans have
carried the district by about the same
= figures as in 1896.
The Goebel people cling to their claim
of a nll1ra lifX of Keen in, he ta
these figures being the estimate made
by the nominee himself tonight
AT Republican headquarters in this
city Taylor's plurality Isl placed at s.
GOO. In neither case is it possible to
get the figures upon which the claim is
based, each side evidently fearing that
giving publicity to the reports of its
agents throughout the State might
work to the advantage of it's oppo-
nent in the event of a contest
Almost complete returns from Louis
vile and Jefferson County do not
change last nights estimate of a Re-
publican plurality of little over 1000.
Governor Bradley is still in the city,
and announces that he will remain here
for several days.
In view of the probability Of con-
test over iHS VOTE Tor Governor. the
statement made by Chairman Long of
the Republican State Campaign Com
mittee at ii o'clock is significant. Said
Mr.. Long:
THE Legislature is close, but think
we have lost both houses. From semi
official returns from all counties except
twelve and careful estimates from tbs Sc
we have carried the State by 5000
plurality for Taylor
In the event of a contest it will come
before the Legislature This is the
case only with the offices of Governor
and Lieutenant Governor The law
covering this point provides that a
board for determining contest for
# Governor shall be chosen in the Leg
islature by lot, the Senate selecting
three and the House eight members.
The decision of this board is not final
nor conclusive. It must report to the
General Assembly, where further ac-
ton may be taken.
