OHro ELEcr1oNs.-.The Cincinnati
Gazette of the lth, says:
/ GAS Cincinnati began, so continue the
returns: all filled with glad ,idings for the
friends of Harrison and Reform! we have
partial returns from Cleveland, Columbus
and Steubenville, which show decided
Iy improving condition of the popular
mind. In each place, the Harrison tick
cts ran far ahead Of the hitherto Wing
votes. Full returns from Dayton, in
Montgomery county, and from several
Townships in Ross, Pickaway and Fair
field counties. give similar result. In
the Townships, from which our accounts
are complete, the Harrison gain stands
thus, claiming an advance in Cincinnati
of only $50
In Dayton, average increase, 1913
Two Townships in Ross Co. 900
] Four Townships in Pickaway Co. 24O
/ One do in Fairfield Co., 27s
Total, 1856
In nine townships, an increased major
ity of fourteen hundred and ffiy-sir,
over theWhig majority of las, fall. Isn't
that "coming it pretty strong" Mr. Ohio
Statesman? Apply 10 this the arithmetic
you used few weeks since in reference
to the special election of constable, or
justice Of the peace, and tell us what
will be the result. Does it indicate ma
. jority for Harrison. next November, of
fifteen thousand! Or, after "fguring it
out" will you tell US we must be content
with ten!
