M'COXVILLE'S CLAIMS. While Other Democrats Coacede Hanna the Lealslatare the Chairman Does Xo. Columbus. Nov. 3.

At both the re publican and democratic state headquarters tonight figures are submitted for the claims of last nisht and today. Chairman McConville of the democratic state committee concedes the defeat of his state ticket, but states that they hvf. reduced thii rurtnhlicnn toi 51.000 of last year by over one Although others at democratic state headquarters concede that the legislature will be republican by om or more. Chairman McConville does not concede the control of that body to the republicans. After 11 p.

m. he reviewed the claims of the republicans on ihe legislature. He said the republic-ins claimed the legislature by from. 75 to 7d. He struck the representatives from Vo.xl and Noble from their list and the senator from Marion and said the changes would make the legislature stand 73 democrats to 72 republicans, and he would never give either of thes claims up until the official count was completed.

Mr. MK'onville says he believes the democratic representatives were elected in thrva other counties which be does not wimt to name pending investigation of frauds. He charges frauds in Noble Hud Wood counties and iu the Marion-Logan district. In the event of the re publicans securing the legislature on as close a margin as is now claimed by them and not conceded by the democrats, Chairman McConville predicts that Senator Hanna will secure the caucus nomination but fail of election ns did Irr.

They were both from absolutely reliable sources, according to the major, and both of them said that Voight, Kemper and Droste. who are elected on the fusion ticket, could be counted upon as certain to vote for Hanna and to stand by the republican party oil nnrtv measures. Mai. IMck was obviously pleased with the news, but he refrained from making any ciauns the strength of the telegrams and leaves the three representatives still in the dem-democratic list.

The democrats nave elected solid delegations from Baltimore county, Cecil, Dorchester, Howard, Wieomi-Milium Anno nnd Worcester b.v ma jorities averaging about 400.

Columlma, Nov. 3. Thix ha been a day of anxiety with the Ohio politicians. It opened with the -republicans and democrat both clainiinsr the election of their state tickets and the majority of the legislature'. Before aeon the democrats conceded th election of the state ticket.

Touiifht th? republican state committee raised its claims to a majority of five on joint billot in the legislature as follows: Senate, 17 republicans, 10 democrat; house. 7W rcpublf-eans, 51 democrats. Total, 75 republicans, 70 democrats, In these claims the fusionista from Cincinnati are all counted as Since the change of the claims at democratic headquarters tonight on the complexion of the legislature, two important rumors have been, vigorously circutat.Mli One is that John It. McLean will, be pressed by the Ohio democracy for the democratic nominee, for president' fn 1000 and that Senator lianiia. will have no opiosition in his own party for election.

It is claimed by those advocating McLean for ihe presidential nomination that be deserves credit for the reduction of the republican plurality and of the republican majority in the legislature from 8 on joint ballot to 5. And tha democrats claim the majority, on joint ballot will be five the oth-r ay if they had an equal chance on contests. There are thirty-six memlwr cf ths state senate, and only one or two of these districts are so close or doubtful as to admit of contests mt which republicans senators could be unseated. On the other hand there are 100 mem bers of the house in which, the republicans claim a majority of 7, while the democrats have a majority of 2 in the senate. And there are several counties so close that several seats could be changed in that body.

In the yettloment of contested seats the republicans would have such an advantage in the house over the democrats in the senate that it Is not likely that the latter will lie aggressors In that matter. There is another alleged movement which is causing much more comment and that is the rumor tha; (Jovernor Bushnell will be brought out for senator against tlanna. Allen O. Meyers, one of the managers at the democratic headquarters, announced tonight that Mr. Hanna would never be elected to the senate on the close joint majority that Is claimed, although Hanna had been edorsed for senator by the last republican state convention the same as Ftraker was two years ago.

Mr. Meyers said that If the close caU on the legislature went against the democrats in the oflictal count that the democrats in the legislature would joint with a dozen or more republicans in the In electing Bushnell instead of Hanna to thf senate. Governor Bushnell and all others involved in this movement deny any knowledge of it or that they would have anything to do with it. The republican state committee ba compute returns from eighty-six counties tnnigbt and two other counties, Stark and Vincent, are estimated. The plurality for Bushnell for governor and the rest of the republican state ticket is placed at The plurality ia Ohio last year for McKinley was 51.10.

Hamilton count gave McKinley last year a plurality of 10,740 and it gave Bushnell (rep.l this year a plurality of only 1510, a republican Iops in the county of while the repnbiican loss in the whole state on pluralities Is 24.5W. Chairman Xash says there were factional iron bleu in other cities than Cincinnati, notably Columbus and Toledo, and that the rainy weather and other reasons Tuesday caused an unnsuail.v large stay-at-home vote. He states that the ofncial cunt will show that the vote was much smaller in ihe rnral districts than exisKte.1. While the repiiWicans carried Hamilton by 1510 on the state ticket, they lost their county ticket, including fourteen members of the legislature, bjr severnl thousand. The retmblicans claim their ticket suffered defeat in Ham ilton county bemuse of the fear by the reform republicans or the unionists that a strong repulrfican legislators woun re-nrennize Cincinnati or some of her mu nicipal boards and take from Mayor par particular way of doing them will prove a factor KEEPIXU PEOPLE COMFORTABLE.

Nov- 3. Cunt. Aleiun der McDougnll, general manager of the American Steel llnrge company, is iit receipt of a letter from ('apt. Idiverne, master of the whalchnck steamer City of Everett, which suiled last summer from San Francisco for Calcutta, with a cargo of food for the famine sufferers of India. The letter is a long one, and is mailed at Calcutta, ScptetnlsT 18.

In it Cnpt. Lavergne charges that English' officials at Calcutta received the famine supplies without enthusiasm. The pilot came aboard the City of Everett when, she approached at Calcutta and told the captain that he would have done bettor to brought a cargo or rapid-iinng guns with which to kill off the Indian population instead of food. Captain Ijivernc says the City of Everett was treated shamefully at Calcutta by the government officials. The officials finding, after ransacking the papers of the ship, thut the official! at Singapore had exempted the ship from some light dues, promptly enforced them.

The claim was made that the governor at Singapore had no authority to-exempt the ship from paying any dues. Before leaving Calcutta the English insisted on the payment of dues for the ship's stores. TIIOS. L. CLIXGMAX.
