the policy of delaying the transaction of
executive business until after the election
OF senate officers was not advocated by /
the senators who did not hold diametric- /
ally opposite views in regard to the pro- /

The Spring Elections.
CLEVELAND, o., April 5.-A very light
vote was polled ia the city elections to-
day. Herrick (Republiean) was elected
mayor by some 800 majority, and the
whole Republican ticket carried.
DETROIT, Mich, April 5.-The Re
publican majority on the state ticket for
supreme judge and university regents, at
the election yesterday, il is estimated
| from returns thus far received, will reach
20O00
DAYTON, o.. April 4-Returns from
| the city show that that the entire Repub-
| lican ticket has been elected, with ma
| jorities ranging from 200 to 1000. A
general gain over the presidential vote
| last fall.
TOLEDO, April 5-Rome, the National
| candidate for mayor, is reelected by d
| plurality of 600 The Republicans elect
the city solicitor. cemetery trustee, and
| one constable. The Democrats elect the
police judge, prosecuting attorney of the
| police court, water works trustee, and
three constables. The council, on joint
| ballot, stands, 16 Republicans, 8 Demo
Gratis, Nationals, and one vacancy. The
board of education stands, Democrats,
Republicans, National. The police
board stands, 3 Republicans and 3 DEM
| ocrats.
ST. LOUIS, April 5-The weather is
| fine and the election progressing quietly.
| A pretty large vote is being polled and
it seems to be generally conceded that
Henry OverstolZ, the Democratic candi-
date for Mayor will be badly beaten and
| perhaps the whole Democratic ticket de-
feated. The feeling against Overstolz by
large numbers of Democrats is very bit
| ter and he is being scratched unmerciful-
| ly. The Republicans are sanguine of
electing their whole ticket, but the pro-
| liabilities are that the result will show q
| mixed administration.
| CINCINNATI, o., April 4.-The election
was an exciting one today. mainly from
the fact that the Gazette, Republican, re-
| pudiated the nomination of Charles ia
| cob, jr., by the Republicans, and favored
the election of the Democratic nominee,
A. NJ. Means. The vote is unequal, be-
ing full in some wards and light in
others. So much scratching is done
that results cannot be had until later.
The general impression from returns
received up to halfpast II is that Means
is elected.
| At l 40 a. m. only twenty precincts
out of fifty-five have been heard from.
These show vast amount of scratching
done. Means Dem.) will have from 1,
500 to 1000 majority, while greater
portion of the Republican ticket will be
elected. The Gazette, (Rep) which
supported Means, will say his election
does not indicate a Democratic victory
but a triumph of law. and order, and
public decency. The COMMERCIAL will
say the Republican defeat by Republi-
can Justification forebodes trouble to the
party in the future.

: Another Beeeherism.
NEW YORK. April A deep hush
{ fell upon Plymouth church, and every
J ear was strained, when Beecher SAID he
{ would relate an incident which he had
} never spoken of before. He remarked
playfully, that he would now tell il
: confidentially. "There came to me" he
| said, "a woman of my own church, the
mother of a young woman, who said hel
daughter had become fascinated with the
/ Roman worship and wanted to unite
with that church. l said to her, tell
: your child to wait one year, until heI
: own mind and judgment are settled, and
= il at the end of that time she shall find
that she is drawn nearer to God and tc
Heaven, through that church let heI
: come, and we will take her by the hand
and carry her to the door,"
At the end of the year she was still
anxious to enter that church, and sal
| down and wrote letter to an honored
Catholic pastor of this city, and said
J This lamb has found greener pastures
in your fields than in m;ner She join.
: ed the Catholic church, and IS to-day O
happy Christian girl in that commun.
ion." Any one could have heard pin
} drop while Beecher was telling this
and there was what is generally called a
; sensation. He added: Il would do II
; again if necessary, for when 1 spoke OF
the unity of all that believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ, meant it. don't believe
in external unity, but believe in inter
nal unity"
In this connection the preacher also
, said: 81 would rather ride in the most
ragged third-class car that was ever put
on rails, if it would take me nearer
T home, than in the most luxurious parlor
car that was ever built if il would take
me further from home"
Regarding Rents.
CHICAGO, April A largely attended
anti-rent meeting was held on the west
side tonight. The attendance was main
!, ly composed of members of the work
ing mems unions. Resolutions were
passed denouncing the marked advance
in rents, which already had absorbed the
principal portion of the fruit of the
workingmen's industry, and stating that
the workingmen. having through a
dreary winter paid out their hard-earned
wages for fuel, at three times its nominal
value, for rotten eggs, tough chickens,
diseased meat, taliow butter, sanded su-
gar, adulterated and poisonous bread,
tea, coffee, etc, were unable to pay in
creased rents for places to live in, which
were unfit for the lower animals.
The resolutions called the attention of
reformers and philanthropists to the
fact that the great masses of working
people in this city are already crowded
together in small frame houses or shan
ties and dilapIdated rooms in rotten ten
ements, and pledge an active agitation
until rents are made reasonable.
