the war. The Graphic defends him
against the insinuation, declaring that

a tree combing the cannot balls out of
his hair. The certificate is thought to

IN OHIO.

CINCINNATI, october IL.
The election absorbs all other in
terests to-day. The indications are
that an unusually large vote will be
polled. At this hour nothing can be
said as to the result. Both parties
are confident of success. There were
some attempts at repeating in the
Eighteenth and Nineteenth wards,
but they were promptly frustrated.
COLUMBUS, October IL.
The election passed off unusually
quiet. no serious trou 1lc having oc-
Cured in any ward. The Challenge
Committee were very vigiiant, and
large and honest vote WAS polied. At
every voting place an increased vote
was polled for both parties, and it
will be quite late before full returns
can be had. indications, are that
the Republicans have largely in
creased their vote.
Returns from forty-nine precincts,
mainly from the northeastern part of
the State, show Republican gain of
about 600 over 1878.
CINCINNATI. October IL.
The election passed off quietly.
The Republicans claim the county
for Hayes, and the entire county
ticket. 1t is certain the Repubii-
cans have made large gains.
COLUMBUS, October 10.
Up to II 30 p. NJ. we have returns
from two hundred wards, townships
and precincts, which give net gain
of $500 for Hayes. If the reported
majorities in Hamilton County are
correct, Ia is probably elected.
CINCINNATI, October 10.
Ohio has gone Republican by de-
cided majority. The Republican
State Central COMMITTEES claim the
election of Hayes by 10000 ma

Yesterday afternoon General Sheri-

at Alcatraz and Angel Island at the
special invitation of Major-General
Schofeld.
During the week ending to-day
the treasure shipments East, by
Wells, Fargo & CO., have been re-
markable, the grand total running to
1923, 326-93O,231 of this was in
gold coin, 100000 in silver coin, and
balance in silver bars. This is the
largest weekly shipment since the
panic.
1t is currently reported that the
stockholders of the Woodville mining
company have succeeded in gettin.
together already a representation of
fifty thousand shares of stock, and
Register johnson, Secretary, is un-
able as yet to verify the report, but is
confident that at the meeting to be
held tomorrow evening, when several
of the largest shareholders will join
in the movement, there will be no
less than eighty thousand shares rep
resented large majority of the
shares issued-in which case they
will have the whole concern in their
own hands and may deposc present
officers, if necessary, without any
lega. proceedings. 1t is generally
believed there has been an over issue
of stock, and that Pearson and his
associates are using every endeavor
to turn this movement into finance
committees of four and eleven, to
be appointed by stockholders at a
meeting to be called at the office of
the company at o'clock this after
noon, and they separately demanded
to see the books and vouchers, and,
as was expected, permission was re-
fused by the Directors, who, it seems,
met this morning and decided that
no one having any connection with
Messrs. Crossman & Kennedy should
have access to the books. Refusal
was given in writing.

BOISOT'S FAILURE.

We are called upon TO announce
the failure of Chas. v. Boisot, who
has been doing business in this
place for twelve or more years, most
of the time as = successful Stock
Broker. At the late hour we re-
ceived the news of the failure last
night we are only able to give few
surmises of the causes of the crash
Mr.. Boisot has been dealing extern
sively in stocks, and at the time of
the suspension of the Bank Of Cali
fornia he was carrying very large
amounts for parties who could not
meet their margins. Being called
upon by his San Francisco broker
he sold his own stocks at the panic
prices, and "shorted" more extern
sively than proved judicious as the
sequel proved-on the resumption
of the Bank and Stock Boards,
stocks went high, leaving him
total wreck. Many will suffer in
the community, as Boisot has been
doing a very extensive business and
was said and believed to be solvent.
The drug business of which Mr..
Boisot was a partner will not be in
terrupted as we learn from Mr..
Stewart that their Indebtedness is
small and none due at this time.
Many will sympathise with Boisot
and quite as many condemn.
