Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 November 1899 — OHIO. [ARTICLE]

OHIO.

Chairman Dick early Wednesday morning issued the following statement: “The returns from Hamilton, Cuyahoga and Lucas counties are yet too meager to give definite figures. Enough has been received, however, to indicate the election of Judge Nash by an increase over the plurality of Gov. Bushuell. Thus the ejection of the entire State ticket and both branches of the Legislature is assured.” The complexion of the General Assembly will not be materially changed. The election of the fourteen members of the Dem-ocratic-fusion legislative ticket in Hamilton County is conceded by the Republican committee. To offset this they claim the election of four Representatives in Franklin, two in Lucas and owe each in Hocking, Vinton, Knox, Adams and Pike. The Senate is cfaimed for the Republicans. It was known that Mayor Sam Jones of Toledo would cut considerable figure, but it was hard to figure out just how much or into whose preserves he would cut the most. In addition there was a factional quarrel between Republicans and Democrats in nearly every bailiwick. With all the flopping around no onfe could figure out to whom the balance would be credited when the clearance was made. Judge Nash, Republican, came out on the top. Jones swept everything in Cnyahoga County. Cleveland did more for him than his home town of Toledo, which went for Nash. Kentucky. Senator Blackburn Wednesday morning sent the following telegram to W. J. Bryan: “We have carried Kentucky by a small but safe majority. Sincerest congratulations on your splendid victory* in Nebraska.” Despite this statement the Associated Press at noon Wednesday claimed Goebel’s defeat and announced Taylor’s election by about 7,000. Gen. Taylor, chairman of the Republican campaign committee, claimed 10,000, but conservative party men thought this extravagant. It is thought that the Republicans have gained so materially that it leaves the complexion of the next Legislature In doubt, despite the holdover Senators. ; Maryland. Maryland has been reclaimed by the Democrats after four years of Republican supremacy. The contest resulted in the election of John Walter Smith for Governor, Isidor ltayiver for Attorney General and Dr. Joshua W. Hering for Comptroller by an approximate majority of 15,000. The lower branch of the Ilegislature waa captured by the Democrats and it la probable that they will also have a majority in the State Senate. The entire Democratic city ticket was elected hi Baltimore by a majority of 8,000.
