Increased Democratic mstotiiy.
The Republicans have carried Ohio
The returns show that the majority is
little likely to go below Is 900 aud II may
reach three or four Thousand higher.
The Republicans are now claiming that it
will not be less than $4,000.
From the very beginning the returns
showed considerable Republican gains
over last year, when the Democratic
majority was nearly IL, 900, and but slight
Republican losses on the vote OF 1880, when
the Republican majority was IL. 600. The
wine aud wool counties gave the Demo
Gratis trouble. The losses were consider
able all along the northern line. The
reserve Republican vote in the Western
reserve cars steadily forward in the
returns and gave large gains in the strong
Republican counties. In the large Demo
cratic counties to the west and southwest
there were occasional Democratic gains,
sometimes considerable, but more fre
quently insignificant.
The returns from Frank Hurd's district
quite generally showed Democratic losses
This WAS particularly the fact in Lucas
county. The knocking out occurred,
however, when Hamilton county began to
turn up. One-third Of the county showed
steady Republican gains which would give
the Republicans the county by from 8, 900
to 4. 900. This was enough to weaken the
Democrats aud they conceded the state,
but only by small majority, which they
would not figure.

Maud y. Fails 10 Bess Her Record.

Maud S.'s attempt to lower her CIeve
land record OF 2.09a at Charter Oak Park,
Hartford, Conn.,, Tuesday afternoon was q
failure, owing TO the high wind that
prevailed and the chill atmosphere. About
1900 persons were present. No admission
fee TO the park was charged, at the re
quest OF Robert Bonner. At $3.50 Maud
b. was brought on the track, and az she
passed the stand was cheered. The word
WAS given by Norris Holcomb for trial
mile, and she covered it without break
in $3.50. She was then driven to the stable
where she was given rubbing. Iu thirty
minutes she was again broug ht out for her
supreme effort to lower the worlds record.
She was started at the three quarter post
at q jog, which was gradually increased
until she was going at wonderful gait,
when the go was given. Away went
the Chestnut mare, trottiDg with the reg
ularity aud evenness OF machine. The
wind was blowing almost a gale, but she
reached the quarter In 33l, the half in
1861 and rounded the three quarters In
lao. Without 30 much as q skip or
wayer the mare came down the last stretch
at the same maohine-like gait, but the
time at the wire was only 2:12f. 1t was
estimated that the wind made the track at
least four seconds slow, and Mr.. Bsir con
cluded not to send her q third heat In
consequence. The judges were Mark
Bulkley, Norris Holcomb aud Geo. Best.
II is likely that another attempt will be
made this month 70 break the record.

A Large Audience 500 mr. M. Curtis In
HIS New fIsy.
Before large audience Mr.. NJ. B. Curtis
press nted his new play of "Spot Cash,
or SamI of Posen on the Road" IN Fulton
opera house last evening. The play is
simply the original "Sam'l of Poseu," in
a slightly different dress. 1t retains nearly
all Of the features of the original play, but
the charm of novelty, which was respoIsi.
BILE IN large part for the success of the first,
is missing from the second undertaking.
Mr.. Curtis makes q most excellent
Hebrew character, at least So far as it is
understood In the world of commercial
drnmmers. His quaint sayings in the
most comical of style keep the audience
in continuous roar OF laughter, and his
unblushing assurance is very refreshing.
The play was written with little regard for
plot, the intent being simply to bring
OFT Curtis peculiar delineatiOns.
The audience rapuurously applauded all
the funny sayings and acts of Sdm'l
Ptastrtck, the character portrayed by Mr..
Curtis, and the cordial reception given
him attests the favorite place he holds in
the estimation Of the local play going
public.

which is to take the place of the Bessemer

it is as tough. The expectation is that
it will take the place of hammered and

IIIaine NtIII 4 CandIdate.

The result Of the Ohio election leaves
Blaine still In the aeld as presidential
oAedtdate. II IL had been against him
- would have been laid out very cold
indssd. As It is, we are promised as hot
. contest Tor the remaining weeks Of the
campaign In the debatable states as has
just closed In Ohio.
II ID the only state In which to this
date there has been any political excite,
msnt, bat 1t is reported to have existed
there In . hitherto unknown degree.
That 10 saying good deal, for we have
had great many hot political contests
In this country. The last one 10 always
apt to be counted as the hottest and
probably Ohio has not really been 80
much excited as she seems to have been.
The tour Of Mr.. Blaine through
the state was made with intent to slim
ulate his partisans and every effort has
been made to that end. These endeav-
ors reacted upon his opponents, and the
consequence was a stirring up Of the
whole state and the biggest vote ever
polled. Ohio believed that 1t was acting
. great part in deciding the national
battle. and doubtless the people enjoyed
the distinction she has had. Though If
they were wise they would abandon
the October state honors to secure
the October tranquility of her sister
states. The state really has not
done anything towards deciding
tar - 4
against Blaine it would have settled it
but rs 1t has only done what it was gen.
orally thought it would do, it leaves
the whole question open for the
answer OF New York, which now steps
forward to saywhether or no her governor
shall be the president. Her decision is
more confidently expected to be
in favor OF the Democratic. ticket
than that of Ohio was pre-
dicted to be for the Republican.
The two parties start out in the race to
day with the Democracy in the lead
The Ohio Republican victory is fairly
offset by the West Virginia Democratic
result. Blaine went into both states,
and both were made the battle
ground. 1t was thought that West
Virginia was given up by him,
after the inspection he made of it, and
the resolve reached to stake everything on
Ohio. The result confirms this idea of
the Republican endeavor. West Virginia
was left to its choice and came to the
Democratic bosom. Ohio received the
whole down pour of the collection from
the New York Goulds, whose pockets
are interested ia Blaine's election. The
money that carried Indiana four years
ago, went into Ohio to day and was
expended for tho Republican cause by
the same expert, Dudley. Indiana's
mouth is not open any longer for the
October greenback floods, and Ohio is
her thirsty successor.
