THE OHIO VICTORY.
Republicans Gain Four Congress-
men RObinsOn's Plural
ity lI,42I.

The Republican gain of 26,os3 votes
is good news for Republicans all along
the line. To be sure it was estimated
by several wild Spectators that the
Democrats would lose by about 20, 600,
but this result was not obtained by the
careful fgurer. The Democrats con.
coded the State by 6,ooo or 5000, and
the Republicans put it from 10000 to
$4,000. This VICTORY will encourage
the Blaine and Logan men, and will
have considerable influence with the
vote Of New York. The delegation to
Congress in Ohio will stand eleven
Democratic and ten Republican. New
York papers express different opinions
on the subject. The Star admits that
the Ohio victory will help Blaine won
derfully in New York, while the Times
says that the Republicans have broken
kHCll bdIh " win IL Jul SdlIdlu DC-
lief that the victory Of last Tuesday is
but small one compared with the one
that will be won in New York by the
Republicans on the fourth Of November
next. 1t will take every Democrotic
vote in New York now 10 elect Cleve-
land, and these cannot be had, as a
large following has turned from the
Democratic ranks. Butler will also
corral some of the Democratic and In
dependent votes, but for every one he
takes from Blaine he will take FIVE from
Cleveland. 1t is not a certainty that
Blaine can carry New York, but at pres
ent it looks very much as though his
chances are the best.

DOC CLAY MURDERED.
Killed Near OsceOla by q She
shOne Indian.

News comes from Osceola, 10 this
State, that Doc Clay, an old resident Of
Eastern Nevada, was waylaid and killed
some days ago while going from Sho-
shone District to Patterson District.
The murder was committed by a rene
gade Indian. Mr.. J. c. Turner, who
came in from Osceola confirms the
above. He says old man Clay was
waylaid and killed just over the divide
beyond Shoshone District. The Indian
then drove Clay's team off the road,
took of most of the load and cached it
neatly, then drove one hundred yards
further, Embarrassed the horses, tied
them to trees and shot them both. He
then went on to a mining camp, got
drunk and told what he had done. Just
before Mr.. Turner left Osceola the Sher-
ig brought in Clay's body and the In
dian. The other Indians wanted to
take the renegade out and hang him,
but the Sheriff had him secure IN jail.
Clay was large owner in Patterson
District mines, and many years ago
kept a store in Carson.
