OHIO ELECTIONS.
LARGE REPUBLICAN GAINS.
Encouraging Prospect for Next
FaH

COLUMBUS, O.J april o-NOOu'-
Reports received here from all over
the State indicate steady Repubh-
can gain. Cleveland has wheeled
around to her old Republican gains.
Dayton and Toledo, usually Demo
cratic, elected most of the RepubH-
can ticket.
Columbus leads all cities in Re
publican gain with the election Of
the entire Republican city ticket
save one Constable, Job Johnson,
colored, who was defeated. The
Republicans elect a majority of
Council and School Board. In all
small towns and cities heard from,
the Republicans gain.
The Portsmouth Republicans swept
everything. The result is not con
sidered due to any defechons or con-
certed action of any particular ele-
ment, but a general revival of Re
publicanisEl. 1t is remarked here
that conflicting ring and job interests
in Cincinnati does not permit a fair
estimate on party gains or losses
there, and the result is left out of
the balances.
In counting up the general result
in Ohio the tide Of the State seems
to have turned much since last
spring, and the Democrats are now
afraid that the State is very doubtful.
This is argued as an additional rea-
son why Payne should be the nomi-
nee, as an Ohio man is needed to
carry Ohio.
