THE ELECTIONS.

COLUMBUS, April 6-Both parties in
the municipal election in this city had
a license platform. Temperance and
anti-temperance were made the issue
in other parts of the State. A special
to the Gazette reports temperance vic
tories complete in New Lexington and
Morrice, and of anti-temperonce in
Washington G. H., wherethe woman's
movement began. Maysvilie, Frank
lin, Batavia and Chillicothe elected 4
Icouneilmen, of whom are anti-tem-
perance. Lancaster elected four out of
five anti-temperancec councilmen. The
Temperance victory in EaStOn was led
by the Democrats. The vote was the
largest ever polled. The phase of the
Temperance question differs but little,
according to the locality, but there is
generally contest between license and
prohibition. 1t probably effected the
election in Cincinnati, but this effect
was felt in Wards and votes received
by individual candidates as well as in
the reduced vote caused by the anti-li-
cense and prohibition voters staying at
home during voting hours. The wealth
er was fair all day, yet the vote polled
was light.
DAYTON, April 6-Election quiet. An
extraordinary vote was cast, especially
in the 7th and Sth wards, Democratic,
which cast 566 votes more than ever
before, giving nearly 900 Democratic
majority. Butz for Mayor, and the
Democratic city ticket are elected by
200 majority; and a Republican Council
and School Board. Never was more
earnest work done. The Democrats
are jubilant and the opposition de.
pressed. The crusaders were in church
at prayer all day for the citizens and
Republican ticket. Piqua elects an en-
tire crusade city ticket; Council tied.
DAYTON, Observation-Disclosures
returns give the Democratic Mayor
nearly 500 mai. The Democrats carry
three and the Republicans six wards.
TOLEDO, April 6-The election pass
ed quietly, the vote being the. heaviest
ever polled in the city. There has been
much splitting, and none of the wards
have yet completed the count. The
interest centred principally ON the
choice of alderman in the Fifth ward
and the Democrats claim the election
of Sign. They also claim the election
of their candidate for Street Commits
sioner by 400 maj, and five out of eight
aldermen, and about the same number
of councilnen. The result will proba-
bly, not be definitely known tonight.
CoLUMBTs, April 6-The election
passed off quietly, and in most of the
wards heavy vote was polled. The
returns are not in from but few words
yet. but the indications are that the en-
tire Democratic ticket is elected.

In the midst of the excitement end
commotion caused by the fire, and the

offered to have another public prayer,
