The Ohio Election j..

The Ohio Election.
COLUMBUS. October 12th-Neither Of the
State Committees is making an effort to OBJ
tain definite results from the election, since
it has been conceded that everything is safely
Democratic The Democratic headquarters
are practically closed. Nothing has been
d)ue by the Republican Committee. The
first amendment is defeated, and nearly as
can be estimated the second amendment will
get about 300 900 and will probably be de-
feated all the way from 10000 to 15 900.
Some of the advocates of the second amend
ment claim it has been carried, but have no
figures to show The Hamilton ard Cuya-
hoga delegations are divided in the proportion
which has been reported. An estimate has
been made in which both the Chairmen Of
the committees substantially agree that the
Senate will stand 20 Democrats, IL Rspubli-
cans the House GO Democrats and 40 Re-
pubicans, being majority of 80 on joint
ballot. These figures are liable to be slightly
changed by the final results in both counties

Divorce Reform,
PHILADELPHIA, October 12eh.-A meeting
in the interest of divorce reform was held
last evening at the Holy Trinity Protestant
Episcopal Church. Right Rev. Benz amin
Henry Paddock, D. D., Bishop of Msssa-
chusetts, presided. He explained the object
of the meeting and referred to the fact that
there are States which show that the plague
of divorce lays hold of one out of every ten
familieo We are rapidly approaching a
state of decentralization, and the evil Of di-
Vorce is increasing rapidly.
Rev. Samuel W. Dixie. Corresponding Sec
rotary of the Divorce Reform League, New
England, gave the ratio of divorces in the
different States. He thought one of the
causes of the increase is csrelessness in Court
proceedings, and in the Courts themselves in
their method of procedure. Another fruitful
cause of divorce is lack Of uniformity of the
laws of the different States. Reducing the
number of causes for which divorces may be
granted would reduce the number of divorces
one-hslf.
Bishop Paddock stated an effort had been
made to influence legislation in Massachu,
sets, and that intelligent Roman Catholics
would be found to support all such efforts. -
Bishop Gillespie, of Auburn, Mich, said
they had no hope from the Legislature in his
State.
Rev. Mr.. Dixie stated very important work
is being done by the Lssgue to bring the
States in harmony. Public opinion, first
from the pulpit and then through the press,
is what will influence the average legislation
more than anything else.
An effort is being made to secure amend
ments to the Constitution of the United
States on the subject.
