close OF Congress- that he voted lor the repeal tho

district last year gave Governor Hayes just about his
majority. Supposlng now, inat the rest Of the State
remains evenly balanced, the republicans must carry
Cuyahoga by at least $500 TO sustain their position.

Hudson, when Questioned as to the reasons OF his
