COLUMBUS, o., Nov. S.--The statisuciahs
at the republican headquarters have oceh
busy all day and night endeaVorins 10
secure some accurate figure on the plurality
on Judge Nash, candidate for governor, ana
tonight an unofficial table of pluralittes by
counties was completed This shows that
in ffty-seven counties Nash has Si,399 over
Mclean, democrat and in thirty-one count
les Mclean has ,035 over Nash inns
gives Nash over Mclean In the state oo,"of.
II is not believed the official returns VIII
make any important change in these hgures'
No figures are available on the total vote IN
the state, as the committee sought to obtain
only pluralties
Notwithstanding efforts were made to get
the vote for Jones returns nave peeh
secured from only thirty-eight counties.
These include the counties on which the
heaviest Jones vote was polled and show
a total of $4,000. The remaining counties
will swell the Jones vote to 100000.
The republican figures on the legislature
are; House. republicans 81; democrats,
As; doubtful, 3. Senate, republicans, R'
democrats, IL; doubtful, 2.
COLUMBUS, Nov. S.-Unofficial but almost
complete returns this afternoon indicate that
the republican plurality in Ohio VIII exceed
that of last year well as of the two pre-
vious years. and that the total vote may eX-
ceed 950, ,OOO an excess Of 100000 over last
wear and of 100000 over 1897. The repub-
licans say the result is due to the endorse
ment of President Mckinley and prosperity.
None of the democratic leaders give any rea-
sons. 1t is thought now that Jones may
carry his home county as we'll as that OF
Cuyahoga.
It is reported this afternoon that the demo-
Gratis had elected Abram Patrick lieutenant
governor. John A. Caldwell, the republican
candidate. is counsel for the Ohio Brewers
association and the Ant-S Saloon league made
a special fight on him. The republican state
| committee announces that Caldwell runs
ahead in some localities and will average
close with his ticket.
Mclean May Speak.
| COLUMBUS, o., Nov. S.-The democratic
| state committee has no additional returns to-
day and nothing to announce. 1t Is UNDER
stood that Mr.. Mclean may make state
ment soon bearing on the causes tha'
! brought about the result. Judge Nash, the
governor elect, has received many congratu-
| lations, especially over carrying his own
county OF Franklin by over 1000. The
|
| governor by 1900 two years ago.
Chairman Dick today has revised his fig
ures so as to claim from $4,000 to 10000
plurality for Judge Nash for governor and
the rest of the republican state ticket and
| an unusually large majority in both branches
! of the legislature. No senator is, however, to
be selected by this Legislature. The total
vote was perhaps exceeded only at the last
presidential election. 1t will reach 100000,
as compared with $4,000 last year and S64,-
900 in 1897, with which year the vote was
compared. The plurality of Judge Nash eX-
ceeds that of President Mckinley in 1896
and is almost double that of Governor Bush
nell in 1897. The Jones vote, although the
, largest ever polled for a third candidate, is
not regarded as large today as Indicated In
the earlier returns last night.
It is not likely to exceed 100000. and al
most half of this vote was cast in Cleveland,
Cincinnati and Toledo 1t Is estimated that
the Jones vote in Cuyahoga county will be
25, 900; in Hamilton, 10000; in Lucas 5000
and in Frankln, $500. Outside of the fusion
troubles in Hamilton and the confusion 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 Nineteen republicans
eighteen democrats and four doubtful, in
Guiding three from Hamilton county.
The house stands: Fifty eight republicans
thirty four democrats and seventeen doubt
full including the ten members from Haml-
ton county.
CINCINNATI, Nov. S.-The Hamilton
county vote complete, but unofficial shows
McLean's plurality to be loo; Jones com

is elected with the exception of one state
senator, two representatives, county treas
