yUF ONO ELECTTON.

The dispatches from Ohio regarding
the result OF the election held in that
state yesterday indicate that the Demo
Gratis will have majority of from 900
to 10000. There is bare possibility
that fuller returns may change the re-
suit, but the gains which appear 10 have
been made by the Democrats in a large
proportion of the counties, justify the
belief that the Republicans have been
defeated.
While this intelligence viii be a
erieyous disappointment to Repubh-
cans everywhere throughout the country.
it will not be in the nature of an over
whelm,ng surprise to persons
familiar with the politics OF that
state. Ohio has disagreeable
trick of going Democratic every few
years, and the majority which she gave
for Garfield was the nearest approxima-
ton 10 the. old fashioned Republican
figures which the state has made in
years. The officers TO elect this year
were Secretary of State, Supreme Judge,
Member of the Board of Public Works
and Congressman. The issue was the
Sunday law and free whisky and while
the Republican party was on the right
side OF both Of these questions, their
opponents seem To have won the day.
| Ia this result the German vote of the
state was a very potent factor. In Gin
cinnati, Cleveland. Toledo, Dayton, Co
lumbus and many other cities the Ger
man vote is, under ordinary eircum-
stances. almost solidly Republican, but
in the fight made this year by the Re-
pnblican party upon the Dissertation of
the Sabbath and the unrestricted sale of
Intoxicating dripks, the Democrats
gained almost the entire foreign vote Of
the state, which is sufficient to turn the
scale as has been demonstrated by the
election yesterday.
The returns are not yet complete
enough to afford an idea OF the effect
which this unexpected revolution will
have upon the Ohio congressional dele
gatioh, though it is highly probable that
the sDemOcrats have made some gains in
this direction. This Is the most import
ant feature Of the contest as regards its
inImcdiate results, and the returns from
the different districts will be awaited
with interest. '-- '-''''
Meanwhile, though the Republicans
of Ohio may be cast down by the reyers-
es with which they have met. they are
not destroyed, and will boldly renew the
attack upon the adversary which threat
ems the sanctity of the Sabbath and is
clam0rous for unrestrained traffic in
rum. The agitation of these
vital issues is but just
begun, and with the encouragement
which the friends of law and order in
Ohio may derive from the achievements
/ IN the direction of temperance reform
which Kansas and Iowa presents to the
world, they will renew the conflict year
after year, until they put TO flight the
political Philis,ines which now possess
the land There is On eternal principle
at stake in this matter, and ii the Re
puElleans OF Ohio are but true to the
tfaditions of the party which rid the
| county of the curse of human slavery
and has instituted and carried to, sue
cessful conclusion every reform with
which the country has been blessed for
the past twenty-five years, they will
come out more than conquerers in the

THE SALEM DISASTER

|
Tho Examination of Campbell Con
cludcd.
HUTcuINsoN, Kan, Oct. 10.-In the
examination to-day, Tor
the accident on the A, 7. s. S.
r. at Salem, the following evidence was
otfGrdd:
e. j. TULLET,
u train dispatcher, who was being trans
ferred from Emporia to La Juhta, Col,
and was Il passenger on the cannon
of the first Pullman to speak to the
boys on the express train; that he saw
as heipassed the switch man a. the
switch with his right hand ON the stand
ard aud 0 lantern on his left arm, his
left hand and the target of the switch
facing full north and south, showing
that il was set for the side and not for
the main track.
J.E. CoRCoRAN,
conductor OF the express train, testified
that be vas with Conductor Hallett
when he had the conversation with
Campbell and heard Campbell say
"IT WAS MY FAULT"
and also that the ball of the switch was
up when No. struck the switch.
CONDUCTOR HALEY
testified that he passed over the ROAD
twice the afternoon Of the accident, once
going west at 8 40, and again east at 5: 4;
and the track was alright and the switch
all right. =
TIE EVIDENCES
on the part of the state is now closed
and ID tends strongly to show that Camp
bell threw the switch, but none
are uncharitable enough tC
believe he was acting wilfully
Those who most firmly assert his blame
believe he was working the switch
merely to be in readiness to let his train
ont quickly and that the
CANNON BALL" TRAIN,
coming too suddenly, did not allow hin
to get 1t back in time; that he had the
ball at a perpendicular TO save somi
time, and probably intended to throw i
back, but in his nervousness threw i
the wrong way, so as to leave the switch
open.
The defense will probably not intro
duce any evidence, but allow Campbell
to be bound over, thus saving the show
ing of their hand until the district cour
meets in March.

BAIL FOR THE BANDIT.
frank james Ready to Give Bond

Frank James Ready 70 Give Bond.
KANSAS City, Oct. 7.-At Independ-
ence to-day the crowd of curious ones
was even greater than yesterday. 4
number of old friends were admitted TO
the jail to talk with James. He seemed
in excellent spirits and expressed entire
confidence of his ability 10 clear Dim-
self against the charges that may be
brought against him. His wife visited
him during the morning.
At the hotel yesterday he wrote upon
the register "Frank James, wife and
child" remarking 1t was the first time
he had signed his real name in sixteen
years. There were number of bidders
for the autograph, but the land
lord declined to permit the. reg
isteri TO be cut. James appear
ance strongly Indicates the rapid
approach of consumption, although he
asserts he is in good health. 1t Is evi-
dent that he is considerably broken
physically, if not in spirit 1t is the
general opinion that he confidently
expected TO be admitted on bail yesteT-
day, and there is no doubt but that ne
could give bond in any amount that
might be demanded.
The regular term of the criminal
court occurs in November, but it is
thought Judge White will give hear
ing of the application for bail before
that time. There Is a great difference
of opinion here as to the probability
of sufficient evidence being obtained 70
convict him of the charges preferred in
this county. Opinions also are greatly
at variance as to the chances for pardon
IN case of conviction. Major Edwards
states positively that James had no en-.
couragement farther than that in the
letter from Governor Critienden pub
1ished yesterday. The prisoner Will be
held at Independence until further ac-
ton i. taken - --..--.-s- +...--4 4.

The culture of olives In California is
said to be remuncrativc. Elwood Cooper,
of Santa Barbary, the largest grower of
the fruit in California, says that he has
trees eight years old that produce 1000
gallons OF olives, or ESQ of the oil, which
latter sells readily at 50 per gallon.
This would be 81 $50 to the acre. But
only extra choice trees, and in good
years, would pay as we'll as that. Com
putting the profits or olive culture at
only one tenth, 20 acre rancho would
support a family comfortably, but only
after six or seven years Of waiting. The
advantages of the business are that the
trees require 40 irrigatioa-a necessary

HuTcuINsoN, Oct. 9.-The investiga-

Justice Highly. Campbell is defended
by Major Warner, of Kansas City, and
Ii. Whiteside and A. r. Scheble, of this
city, whIie the state is represented by

J. NJ. Hallctt, the conductor of the
cannon ball, was ON the stand six and a

unbroken and was in substance as fol-
