jim Milwaukee, April 7, the vote for
Mayor was: Harrison Ludington, 7. S26 !;
Edward O'Neill, 6,509;--a total of IL, S35,
against IL, 459 in the last Presidential cleo
ton. The Milwaukee Sentinel says:
THE great feature of the election in
Harrison Luddington, the independent can
didate for Mayor, over Edward O'Neill,
the nominee OF the Reformers. The Nelos
has been diligently insisting that, if this
result were realized, it would be Repub-
lican victory but the Sentinel is disposed
to be more magnanimous and to attach an
other significance to the event. 1t would
rather attribute the election of Mr.. Lud-
ington to desire on the part of majority
of the voters of this city to honor an honest
and capable officer, and especially to keep
the municipal government out Of the hands
Of professional politicians and rings who
sought TO use q party organization to ad-
vance selfish purpose.

The Cleveland Herald rep says:
I'VE have been worstcd, whipped, most
Outrageously whaled. There is no use de-
nying It. But what is the cause
Of the dreadful disaster? Whatupset our
coach kicked over our dish, split our milk,
and threw our fat in the fire ? Thereby
hangs tale or bunch of tales, each one
with weighty moral dangling at the end.
We could give long string of reasons,
each one perfectly satisfactory, but they
might be unpleasant to some people, and
give rise TO acrimonious and improbable
discussion. We therefore give ouly one
reason, and that one we believe nobody will
dlspute-tOO many votes went the other
side. That is why we were whipped.
in Toledo the total vote is G, 300. and
the Democratic majority 500 against
Grant majority of GOO in total of ;, 300.
The Toledo BLADE thinks il sees sufficient
cause for this in the persistent and long CON
tinued efforts that have been made to CON

has become corrupt. 1t couldn t be expect.

The Detroit Free Press SAYS of the re-
turns OF the town elections in Michigan
The falling off in the Republican ma
jorities cannot fail TO be remarked. In
some localities this loss of strength by the
ADMINISTRATORS is fairly amazing 1t
Is safe TO say from the results at hand that
the Opposition have gained immensely in
the relative number OF Supervisors in the
respective counties Our reports, cover

show this result. The temperance furore,

The tide is now fairly set against the
