STATE ELECTIONS.

SIHII LICC IlOlNS,
.. OH 10.
! The Ohio Election.
COLUMBUs, October l8.-The weather
! Has most propitious for the election to-
! day. The candidates to be elected are
! Secretary of State, two Judges and Clerk
| Of the Supreme Court, School Comrnis-
sioners, members of the Board Of Public
! Works, members of Congress and County
\ officer. The temperance issue ha, had :
Amuch to do with the campaign as the :
! Democratic platform favored license.
while the Republican platform took
lstrong grounds in favor of en-
forcement of the liquor laws. This
| question, no doubt, has caused loss Of
many votes to the Republicans in the /
| cities, but gain in the rural districts. !
! In many counties the Independent /,
ticket was in the fld. and much scratch :
! ing has been the result, which will great 4
| " delay the getting Of reliable figures. /.
Last year the full vote Of the State was !
not cast it being estimated at over ,
10000. The people did not vote at all !
active. The canvass made on the West (,
ern Reserve and in several close districts J
will, it is expected, bring ont much OF /
this reserve vote.
Another Democratic Victory.
CLEVELAND, October l3.-The cleo .
ton in this city passed of quietly. a .
very large vote was polled, and the indi- /
cations are that Parsons, the Republican !

from 1000 to 300 majority.
