No October Election in Ohio.


Cleveland Special.
All through the State a movement among
business and professional men has started which
has for its object the abolition of the present sys
tenn of electiEg State officers in October Ohio
is the only State that does SO, and all classes
vigorously ask that Ohio be put in the roll of
November States for the sake of peace and the
business interests. The October State and No
vember presidential elections of this year
knocked the bottom out of business. Hand in
hand with the movement is one for the adoption
of a registration law in place of the present slip
shod system. The Legislature is likely to pass
bills on both matters.

containing the name of each Senator in writing
which once told the possessor of each desk in
the Senate chamber have been removed and sill
yer plates substituted for them. Capt Bassett,
the Assistant Sergean tat-A Arms, approves of the
silver plates, but he is shocked with the manner
in which the names are inscribed The "Mr."
that always preceded the name, under Capt Bas-
sett's instructions, has been omitted, and the
fix or title, stares one in the face. Capt. Bas-
sett thinks that great liberty, amounting to
proclamation, has been taken with senatorial dig
