CINcivSArf, Oct. 12--" Schcnck /. beaten bv a
small majority" 80 read the dispatches Of yes
terdiy morning. Among all tie Congressional
contests Of Tuesday, no struggle excited so mucl
interest Ia the East that In which this distinguish
ed successor to Thaddeus Stevens was eug rod
THE interest was enhanced by the fact tnat Cot
Lewis d. Campbell, well known as former leader
OF the House, was his competitor. This latter gen
teman has for some time been len out In an the po
litica counts, his aniation with Andrew Johnson
aud HE refusal to DC considered an outand- ont
Democrat having made him politician without a
party. A year ago he was elected to the OHIO State
Senate by the Democrats, and 1t then seen that
the Butler County Pony" as he is called at home,
had ngain got in harness, and going to trot for
some kind Of stake.
The Third Congressional District i- composed Of
the counties Of Montgomery. Warren, Prebe, and
Butler. Warren and Preble have been for years
strongly Republican; Butler usually gives from
LOGO to 2,1O0 Democratic majority while Mont.
gomcry-sohcnck's home--is doubtful ground.
Since his election In 1854 schenck has been gradu.
ally losing strength. In that year be was elected
by about LOO majority. In 1860 Gen. Durbu Ward
cut these figures down to 100. In 1865 Valandig-
ham still further reduced them to TO And now the
smaler-by degrees process has eliminated in his
actual defeat by one over whom he ected easy
victory The causes are obvious
Gen. Schenck owes his overthrow mainly 20 two
influences First, to lack Of personal popu arty lie
puts himself ia sympatiiy With but lew. and il ia
doubtful whether he has hlty personal friends in the
district warmly attached and loving him for him

ern capitalists and manufacturers, III he likes
voted and WorLed hord for him iva years ago
Why don't he go Eisi aud get elected from there
He repfes those people better than he does us
and let him 60 where he belongs" And the sturdy
old farmer clinched his argument by SAYING, I'm
id II III vote Tor him this time, but will do all
can against him. don't ike Lew Campbell much,
but I'd rather have him than Schenck."
Notwithstanding these signs OF dsanection, the
Republicans were sanguine OF success Ttey were
encouraged in this by the almost unanimous ac-
Acknowledgement OF Democrats that they had little
hope Of olecting Campbell schencks friends were
thus iulled INTO fatal sense OF security and even up
wagcrcd that be would bo elected BY from $40 to COZ
Since the election Of two years ago the inmates OF
the Soldiers Home, at Dyton, have been dsquall-
fed for the elective franchise BY the decision OF tue

vote. ranging between Sd and go In the district
Hence Gen Scbenck's friends hoped for about the
same majority az at the last election. Moreover,
they did net give up until the last moment the intcn
lion Of polling the soldier vote. Their plan was to
keep Ldly sheets, and send the result in regular
furm leaving TO the Secretary " state the burden
