press, says Cleveland, and l must repay

suggested Office to the above gentlemen and

The Ohio and Michigan Elections.
New York April Sth-The Fusion ma
ioIity in the Michigan State election is not
regarded here as having q special signifi-
canoe. The Times says OF Ohio: The Dem
ocrats appear to have been badly beaten in
the local election in Ohio. They owe it to
| their INSCRIPTIONS greed. Having obtained
control of the Legislature mainly on the
Scott law issues, they attempted to gain
practical control OF the administration Of
affairs in Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleye-
| land. regardless of the choice of their oeo-
pie, By creating a Commission to dispose Of
their offices. This reckless grasping at
power where the majority was against them
caused such 4 revulsion of feeling as not
only to carry the cities directly concerned
overwhelmingly against the party, but
to increase Republican preponderance
| throughout the State.
