The Herald contains the following analysis Of the
Ohio elections At the election OF Congressmeh IN
Ohio last year the Republicans carried sixteen out
OF the nineteen districts in the State. The Demo
Gratis elected their candidates in the 5th, 18th and
18th Districts the latter by majority Of 271 which
Columbus Delano, the defeated candidate, is now
contesting. At the election on the 8h instant the
Democrats carried twelve out of the nineteen dis
tricts and came within 100 of CARRYING two or three
others. In the two districts carried by them last
year and not contested, their majorites increased
from 1862 to 1894 in the 5th district and nom S2lO
to 6OO2 in the 18th district while in the 18th, which
is being contested, the Democratic majority in
creased from 271 to 1849
In every Republican district the majori5es are
cut down Immensely. In the seventh district,
which gave Samuel Shellaberger 2l7l majority
last year, the Radicals escaped with bare % ma
iority at the recent election; while in the eighth
district the majority was reduced from 1852 to
1862 In tine second district the Radical candi-
date was defeated by nearly 1000 votes. General

aIy in favor of negro suffrage, is opposed to
forcing it upon any State, and pledged himself to-
the democracy to oppose any MEASURES looking to
the passage OF the bill by Congress enfranchis-

NAV, therefore. be regarded as an opponent OF
the Congressional policy Of reconstruction. The
most significant feature about these districts Is
the revolution in the tenth which district is rep
resented oy J. NJ Ashby, member of Congress,
who brought in articles of impeachment against
the President. AS will be seen, the Republican
loss is 2o41. giving the Democrats majority of
124 in the district.
