Elected Governor Of Ohio by About
$4,000 Plurality.
LEGISLATURE SAFELY REPUBLICAN
Columbus and Cleveland Showed
Gains for Democrats.
TROUBLEOVE LOCAL OPTION

COLUMBUS, Ohio November 6-Revised
returns today show that the republicans
gained almost everywhere except at Column
bus. where disaffection over some OF Gov
ernor Nash's appointments and local op-
ton caused great democratic gains, and In
Cleveland. where factional fighting and
Mayor Tom L. Johnson's crusade on taxa
ton predominated. Wherever local option"
was made a distinct Issue, as in Franklin
county. the home of the author of the old
CLARK local option bill,' the liquor men
won.
At democratic state headquarters To-Day no
further statements were given out. Chair
man Dick was at republican state head
quarters early preparing another statement.
Meanwhile the causes of the tidal wave
were discussed among democrats as well as
republicans.
Free SiIverites Supported KilbOurne.
Last night it was said many free silver
democrats did not vote but today the free
silver democrats resent this charge and say
that Kilbourne was one of the original free
silver men. He Is still one of the most
ardent admirers of Bryan.
While various causes for the result are
mentioned by the democrats including the
superior organization of the republicans, the
republican leaders say their success was
mostly due to the Endorsement of President
Roosevelt. Senator Foraker and Governor
Nash, and the desire to perpetuate the prin-
ctpleS that were promulgated by Mckinley
when he became governor ten years ago.
And they include Senator Hanna's appeal to
let we'll enough alone and not disturb the
prevailing prosperity as also potential fac
tor.
Chairman Dicks Statement.
Chairman Dick at noon gave out the fol-
lowing:
We have heard from fifty-three counties,
thirty-five still being out. These fifty
three counties show net republican gains
over the election for governor two years
ago of 27,I15, which, added to Nash's plu-
rality in 1892 makes a republican plurality
of 1888. Cuyahoga county is among those
not yet reporting, and that county is still
claimed by the republicans. although the
democrats claim it by 73. But with Cuya-
hoga as a stand-off,' the net result would
be a loss to Nash
Jones carried Cuyahoga county two
years ago. and Nash had 1871 over Nc
Lean. Deducting this from IS 1873 Nash's
plurality In fifty-three counties would be
6eyS21. Then, II the other thirty-four
counties maintain the ratio of the fifty
three that are in, the plurality for Nash
will be over 10000. and probably over So 900
Tor the rest of the republican state ticket.
With Cuyahoga county conceded to the
democrats, the republicans have twenty
one of the thirty y-three state senators and
seventy of the no representatives, with
probable increase when the other thirty
four counties have reported"
Since noon Chairman Dick. the per-
centage of gains. estimated the thirIy-four
missing counties, and this indicated that
complete returns may make Nash's plu-
rality over 5000. and the rest of the ticket
considerably above that figure

The Alleged Colloquy.
Speaking of the Hodgson colloauy, he
continued:
"This thing died when 1t was resurrected.
This was all Mr. Hodgson's fault Sorry
for him, but it was his fault There was
too much gossip and magazine writing. Too
! much talk, for which no one was respon-
sible.s but the ones who did the talking.
Whenfyou 10y at 1t, what is the impress
sion that 1t makes upon you? But it did
place Commodore Schley In a bad attitude.
as It was reported in the newspapers"
He read portions Of Mr.. Hodgson's state
ment lrs regard to this colioquy and ridi-
culed the idea of such a conversation be-
ing carried on at critical time during a
1T daes not make any difference" said
Mr.. Rayner.siif the admiral did say D-n
the Texas' Why. down in Anne Arundel
countyssthat ts the way they salute each
other as they pass along the road. They
say: p-n. you. how are you? fellow
down there sHed another man for speaking
to him that way, and 1t was shown when
the cage was tried that that was the ordi-
nary way ofDsaluting any one met on the
road. But oAr brothers will not undertake
to say here that Commodore Schley meant
by that EXPRESSION. II he had used M-and
he denies this-that he really meant It, that
he meant that he was Indifferent to the
fate of the Texas But that is what the
public. that Is Whaa everybody thought that
Such an expression looks very ugly"
Mr.. Rayner then referred to Mr. Hodg-
sons denial of this statement and said
that the truth was that Mr. Hodgson did
not deny 1t because it was not verbally
correct, but he denied 1t because it never
trouble He referred to the letters that
Mr. Hodgson had written, and said that In
none OF them did he say that Commodore
Schley had said ID the Texas" AZ the
investigation conducted by the government
in which this matter was referred to. when
Hodgson WAS under oath. he did not saw
that the commodore said ID the Texas -
The fact was that he was entirely mis-
taken when he went on the stand and re-
peated a conversation not a word of which
had been gives in either his letters or The

When Hodgson was asked by Commodore

ne Tor six years was member of the for
eign affairs committee of the House, he
had no knowledge of the Philippine Islands
until they were struck down. He said that
Admiral Schley was sent to Cuba to discoy-
er these things. but that now he was being
blamed because he had not discovered them
according 70 some one elses plan. Admiral
Schley did not have the magnificent eve of
Bristol. SO that he could tell the height of
bills and the number of batteries located on
them. the size and caliber of the guns and
so forth. without finding out these things
in the only feasible way. He said he had
found out about the batteries however. by
going In and engaging the Colon, notwith-
standing his dispatch to the department
that he had gone in for the principal pur-
pose Of sinking the Colon, which word
principal had been used Inadvertently
instead of incidentally by his clerk, and
which. however, he was willing to stand
by. The commander-in-chief, he said, if
robbed of all discretion, would simply be
an automaton. reduced to nothingness.
The Question of Blockade.
The eighth specification was next an
nounced Mr.. Rayner, but, he said, it
would be foolish to attempt to discuss the
question Of blockade; he did not know
how to blockade a port any more than did
Capt Lemly, although Capt. Lemly might
blockade him sometimes. He was sure
that was the extent of his KNOWLEDGE in
that direction. Judge Advocate Lemly SEEM
GU " eonC tAAo sally 6OOu HdluF6Qly ana
smiled broadly, as did Mr.. Hanna.
Mr.. Rayner said that he had passed over
one point which he should have referred
to while at Cienfuegos, and that was the
order to destroy the earthworks, il there
were any In course of construction How
ever, he said, Captain McCana had testi-
fed that they were not in the course Of
construction. Mr.. Rayner said that Cap
tain McCalla had an explicit order to leave
the Eagle at Cienfuegos on guard, but
that he had not done so. He was well
aware, he said, that Captain McCaIla was
not on trial for disobedience of orders and
properly he should not be tried, for he had
used his discretion, which he had a per
feet right to do. However, Ii the Eagle
had remained at Cienfuegos she would have
been able to give the commander of the
flying squadron all the information about
that wonderful secret of the three lights
and the three horsemen - !
Mr.. Rayner then referred to a certain
book which had been written by an Eng
lishman on the Cuban campaign This
book, he said, did not amount TO much.
but in 1t point had been made that II
was useless to FIRE at shore batteries. as It
only covered them with mud and thew
were dug out again and put into action.
Referring again to specification 3 Mr.
Rayner said he wished to refer a moment
to Captain Harber. He continued: =
Had reflected for a . moment that
Captain Harber had just arrived from the

attention to the manner in which counsel
| was presenting evidence.
Mr.. Rayner was then allowed to continue
his argument.
The Fifth Specification.
He had come now, he said. to the last two
specifications to be considered. These were
the fifth and the fourth. He would take
up the fifth first, the one regarding dis
obedience of orders He asserted that there
was no disobedience Of orders on the part
of Admiral schley, and that. under any
construction Of law. this could not be
shown. He then read the dispatch from
the department showing that all the de-
division still at Santiago He said there
was nothing positive about this, and that
there had been no positive information on
this point until Admiral Schley had seen
the Colon in the harbor
Mr.. Rayner remarked incidentally that
Capt. Sigsbee had seen the Colon there pos
sibly at the same time. Continuing reading
the dispatch, he said: 1.-The department
looks to you to ascertain the facts" This
had been obeyed, he declared, and the de-
partment had been notified as soon as the
facts had been ascertained.
Referring to the part Of the dispatch
which stated that a landing place could
be made five or six miles to the west of
the harbor. Mr.. Rayner stated that the
Admiral Schley and had not been contra
dicted. This testimony showed that the
de partment was mistaken. and that at that
time this locality was occupied by Spanish
troops. The part OF the dispatch which he
declared tore itself to pieces was that which
Informed the admiral that he could coal OF
Cape Cruz. Gonafves or Mole Hayti.
Speaking of the fifth specification. Mr.
Rayner said that Cape Cruz, where Ii was
suggested the flying squadron might coal
was 100 miles from Santiago. In making
the retrograde movement Commodore
Schley had gone twenty-five miles away.
In other words. he did not go within eighty
four miles of the distance the government
ordered him to go.
He wanted the judge advocate to remem-
Der to answer the question whether he
could be condemned for such an act He
said that he could not be condemned for
his intentions. Whether or not he intended
to go to Key West could not condemn him.
He must be condemned for his acts. He
also made strong plea In favor of COM
ulauding officer having discretionary pow
ers in the conduct of his campaign. He
continued:

Negro Excursionists Rushed upon Police Officer Brock and Two
 Were Arrested.

A surging mass of negroes at the entrance to the train shed at the Union Railway Station yesterday morning caused an incipient riot.
 It was a negro excursion to Wnite- hall, a picnic ground on the Selma Dl- vision of the Western Railroad, ana the occasions are very rare on whlcn d larger crowd has been seen at the depot: The trouble started as the big crowd of negroes made a dash for the entrance gate to the train shed, and for few moments 1t looked Ike very serious trouble would ensue.
 Leading from the station proper to the train shed there Is only one ent- rance gate and one exit. and like flock of sheep the moment that one of the negroes started for the gate the entire mob followed with a rush, every one trying to be first through the gate Seeing the difficulty that was sure to be precipitated if things went On this way, Depot Officer Sam Brock ran in front of the negroes trying to stop them. The crowd kept coming, how ever, and the officer forcibly pushed the leaders of the mob. two women named Kate Davis and Hattie Davis. back, atfhe same time telling the unmanase able crowd of negroes that they Ooult

 Several of the crowd began striking the offlcer with umbrellas and in less time than it takes to tell 1t, there was a regular Donnybrook Fair scrap with the officer in the center of the crowd of wildly excited negroes. To protect him. self the officer began using his club, and several of the black mob will bear the marks of 1t for several days.
 Conductor Tom Howard of the West ern Road, seeing the dangerous plight in which Officer Brock was placed, rushed to his assistance and hustled negroes out of the way until there was comparatively clear space around the policeman.
 Matters quieted down considerabl bly,, and the negroes in an orderly manner started through the gate. The Davis women, however, were taken to the Po- lice Station. The case was to have come up at the Recorders Court yes- terday afternoon, but the witnesses for the women having gone on the ''skush- ion" the case was continued.
