C&Riraaa Dlclt Places Kaxh'a S"ig res at Over 00,000 Senator For- c alur'a Reflection Assured. Ik 4 COIAJlfBUS, O.. IJoy, J. The Repub licans today cameil Dhfo toy sdch in creased -pluralities on their ticket and -with suoh an enlarged 'nkjodty'ia the Legislature as to cause all sorts of com ment on "What did it?1' The result con tinues the Republicans in power in tho' state, making an epoch of 12 years in suc cession fdf that p arty In Ohio, and It Jn Bures the re-electbh of Senator Foraker. The extent of the .Republican success is attributed' to the Silver Democrats, not voting, to tho attitude of John R. Mo Lean, the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor two years ago, and the Ohio mem ber of ihe .National democratic Commit tee, la the superior organization of ttfo Republicans and btber causes. The Re publicans attribute the result largely lo the popular desire not to disturb the pre vailing prosperity, in accordance with Seaator- Jianna's appeal to, "let well enough alone," to the desire to support President Roosevelt In carrying oat 'the policy oC the late President McKlnley find to indorse Governor Nash and Senator Foraker, The Republicans are so elated over their triumph that they are talking of Congressman Dick, who has been chair man of their state committee for 11 yearx. for Governor two years hence, when Sen ator Hanna stands for re-election, and It is generally predicted 'that John R. "Mc Lean then will b the Democratic candi date for Senator. It is believed that Charles R. Baker, of Cincinnati, who has been an avowed candidate against Foraker, will recelvo the complimentary vote of the Democratic minority in the present Legislature for Senator. Hamilton County, which in cludes Cincinnati, sent a mixed delega tion to the last Legislature, when John R. McLean. Dcra. carrled'that county for Governor. Tn"e delegation then had only two Republicans. This year the delega tion consists of 13 Republicans. Lucas County had two Republican members in the last Legislature, but under the new census It has four members, all Repub licans. The Pemocrats gained four mem bers in Franklin and one in Adams and Pike Counties. The Republicans gain one member each in Summit. Muskingum. Ross and William Counties. In the last Legislature. Montgomery had one Re publican and one Democratic member. This year that county elected three Ri publlcan members. So far as the returns indicate, the local option candidates of both parties for tli'i Legislature have been defeated The liquor men are especially jubilant oer the defeat of T. H. Clark, one of thf Republican candidates in Franklin County, who was the author of the local option bill that was defeated In the last Legis lature. '"ompiete returns from the City of Co 'lumbus give Nat.h, Rep, 13,637; Kllbourne, Dem, 16.916; Kilbourne's plurality, 3257. Nash carried the city two years ago by 2755. Kilbourne's plurality In Franklin t'ounty is about 2500. At Democratic stato headquarters no tlHcial statement has been given out to night, except that they concede the stal" to the Republicans, Chairman Dick, of the Republican state committer said Food night to the orowd after issuing th ; Xol towing Returns at midnight indicate the elec tion of Governor Nash by O0.CO0 and up wards and tho election of 22 to 25 of the SI members of the Senate and 70 to SO uf tho lift members of the House." These figures on tho standing of the Legislature happen to be same as In Chairman Dick's ante-election statement Inst Saturday. The Republican plurality exceeds the average of 53,000 for the last 10 cars, or since the first election of Mc Klnley as Goernor. which has bi eu termed the greatest Republican era hi Ohio The plurality for McKlnley fur President last year was 69,030 on a total vote of 1,010.121, and for Nash two ytars ago -Ifl.aSt. with a total vote of 820,872. The total vote this year will not reach 900.000 and the shortage Is considered one of the features Df the campaign from which the Democrats were the greatest losers. The greatest Republican demonstration here tonight was oier the returns of To ledo, showing that Nish had carried Lu cas County, together with the Legislative ticket. As Governor Nash had opppsed the state appropriation for the proposed Ohio Centennial Exposition in that city. It was expected that he would lose that couot-.

The highest vote for mem bers of the Legislature was received by Freiberg, and tho lowest for the elected members by Hays, colored. The Cincin nati Southern Railway lease and the prop osition to issue over ?2,000,000 in bonds tor the construction of terminals or the road were both carried by a majority of over 25,000.

Murray Crane being elected Governor for the third time by practically the same plurality as When he first ran for the office.

This means that Sedgwick's majority in these precincts is about 11,000" more than the majority re ceived by Marth. As Marsh" carried the state by nearly 5000, this means that If the remaining precincts make the same com parative showing, there can be no ques tion as to the election of Judge Sedgwick by a very handsome majority. Chairman Lindsay, of the Republican committee, who throughout has been conservative, says the Republicans have carried the state by not Jess than 5000.

THE ELECTION "WAS QUIET. ?fo Trbuble pf a Serious Nature nt tk6 Ncvt York poll. HEW YORK Nov. 5; After several weeks of the hottest campaign fighting ever seen in this city over a municipal election, the day when tho ballots were cast passed with unwonted .quiet consid ering the high feeling that had previously been exhibited. There were ji few. fights at the pojls among individuals, but none of a eerlous nature, and out of tthe, scorej of arresta made, few prisoners 'were held by the magistrates. The great feature of the voting was the early casting qf ballots. There was a drizzling rain up to 9 o'clock, but after that hour there, was nothing to keep even -the most fastidious voter from the polls. Beth Law, fqslort candidate, for. Mayor, cast his ballot at 7-55 A M. Edward M. Shepard, the Democratic candidate, voted at 11:25. Richard Croker and his two sons were numbered lr 2 and 3 at their polling place a minute after 6A.1L Senator De pew dropped his ballot Into the box at 9.45, and Mayor Van Wjck waited until 4 P.M. The practical u$e of a. voting machine was demonstrated In the 18th district of the First Assembly District, Brooklyn, and tbo result was known at 502 In the afternoon, immediately after the polls were closed. No difficulty was experi enced in recording the vote, and In many instances mejf cast their votes Jn less than three gecopde. An Inclderit which attracted attention lp New York City was the refusal of the election judges in ohe district to allow one voter to cast his ballot because he had made a bat of a box fof cigars on the result ot the election. Richard Croker received the- returps In what is known, as the "private room" pf Tammany Hall. The leader was surround ed by a crowd Of prominent Democrats, amdng them John 3 Carroll, Tammany Ieaderj Mayor Van Wyck, Corporation Counsel Whalen and City Chamberlain T. C, T. Crane. Mr. Croker sat at the press table, and listened with hjs customary lack of expressed emotion a? the bulletins were. read. From the firat they were un favorable, and the crowd of leaders heard tho figures called ff without comment. Ir. Groker directed that from time to time comparisons be made with the vote last year. Mayor Van. Wyck, who was a candidate for the Supreme Court bench, and wbo was bitterly assailed during the campaign," was an interested listener as the returns came in! Crowds such as are seen on tho night Of a Presidential election surrounded the bulletin boards of the newspaper offices. Because of the dangers of accidents re sulting from tho subuay excavations near the City Hall, some 50 policemen were on hand. A cordon was formed which prac tically shut oil Park Row from the hea" of Beekman street to the bridge entrance, and the streets leading into Park Row at that point were closed. The street-cars were stopped at Center street. Other Mayoralty Contoatn. ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 5.

Hcrmqnn Ofllclally Dlscusse Those in Idaho an'd Montana. WASHINGTON, Nov. Lm his annual report for the past fiscal year, Commis mner ermann, of the General Land Office, discusses briefly the timber frauds of Montana und Idaho and the provision of law under which they h,ave been car ried forward. On the tubject of these frauds ho says: "I deslro to call -attention to tho In jurious effect of the act of Juno 3, 1878. known as the timber and stone act This originally applied only to Calif ornli Or egon, Washington and Nevada, but was extended by act of August 4. 1892, to. all the public land states It provides for the sale of surveyed public lands which are chiefly -valuable for timber or build ing stone at tho rate of 42 50 per acre, without regard to its actual value. The quantity which any one person, or asso ciation of persons. Is permitted to pur chase is 10 acres. The efTect of this law has been to dispose of public prop erty which is worth from $10 to 550 per acre to speculators it the Insignificant price of $2 50 per acre. Immense tracts of the most valuable tlmbpr land, which every consideration of public Interest de manded should be preserved for public use, have become the property of a few individuals and corporations. In many Instances whole townships have been en tered undnr this law In the interest of one person or firm to whom the lands have been conveyed a3 soon as receipts for the purchase price were Issued. There la every reason to believe that such en tries are fraudulent, and that the affi davits are false in which the entrymen swear that they do not apply to purchase the land on speculation, but in good faith to appropriate It to their own exclusive use and benefit, and that they luve made no agreement or contract by which the title to the land shall inure to tho benefit of any porson except themselves; yet It i3 almost impossible to secure conclusive evidence that these statements are not true. The mere fact of the transfer of the land can be proven, but such trans fer is permitted by law, and that evidence alone is therefore not sufficient to Justify tho cancellation of the entries. "In many cases where. this, office has had. reason to believe that frauds Qf this kind were being attempted, It has In structed a special agent to investigate tho matter and to Cross-examine tho claimants ana witnesses when final proof was submitted. In such Instances, the parties, on learning that an investiga tion' was being made, have abandoned their plans, and In this way a large amount of fraud has been prevented. Tho force of special agents, however, is not nearly large enough to keep track of all cases of this kind which arise, Jn ad dition to the various other duties im posed on them. Where entries are made without objection from a special agent tho claimants make oath that such en tries aro in good faith for their own ex clusive benefit and not for speculation, apd they come to roako final proof, pre pared to give plausible replies to any cross-examination which the Iocil officers may direct against them. After final proof Is made ard final certificates issued thero Is no adequate means by whloh fraud can be conclusively proven. The only persons who have knowledge ot a prior agreement, or of other .facts neces sary to proVe the speculative character of the entries, will not willingly appear at tho local office to testify If proceed ings are begun against such entries, and the law affords no means for compelling thorn to do so. "On July 13, 1901, I submitted to tho de partment a list of questions to be used by local officers in cross-examining the parties making final proof under the tim ber and stone act. Copies of thee have been furnished to Registers and' Receivers and to special agents throughout the country, and it, is hoped that they will serve to prevent in a great rneasure a continuance, of the wholesale frauds which have been committed under this law. The only remedy, however, Js the repeal of thf law. It Is a most harmful one, and serves no useful purpose whatever. Under Its provisions public property has each year bcn disposed of for- a price hundreds cf thousands of dollars les3 than the actual value, and tha. difference, has been diverted Into the pockets of a few Individuals and corporations by means of perjury nnd subornation of per jury, Tho provisions which aim to pre vent entries of a speculative nature are so easily evaded that they are wholly in effective, and no reason can possibly be given why tho act should remain longer tn the statutu hooks "I am Infotmed that a large number of prosecutions has recently been, begun In Idaho and Montana for perjury and sub. otnatlon of perjury In connection with the entry of lands under the timber and ctone act. It seems that these entries, which appear to have been made for speculative purposes and In the Interest of others than the entrymen, ,have, after sev era! conveyances, become the property of one person, who claims that he pur chased the hnfla In good faith, with no knowledge that the entries were not valid. If this be true, any proceedings on the part of this office looking to the cancel lation of such entries will cause rnuch bardshlp and crrbarrassment to a pur chaser who paid for the lands In good faith, with no means of knowing that he ftas not securing a perfect title.
