ligent source in Columbus, assures us that
the universal negro suffrage amendment is
overwhelmingly defeated in Ohio, and the
democratic candidate for governor is proba-
hly elected while from Iowa and Indiana

there has been considerable reduction in
republican maiorities in Pennsylvania and
Ohio. In the former state, the only officer
to be chosen was Judge of the supreme court,

has been considerable republican loss in
both Philadelphia and Pittsburg.

parts of the state but probably not enough
to balance the losses. ....--...

year was only 1873, which in the total
vote of over 500, 900, is small margin fol
