AT Columbus the election passed of quietly.
10 rainei all forenoon. Some scratching was
done on the local and legislative tickets, but
work of this kind was not formidable 10 eth
er side

iority In the city at 500. Hoadley's in the
townships at 100 Democratic majority in
county go, and Republic an gain l,OO0 The
Republicans elect part Of their county ticket,
including two member, OF the legislature. The
Journal claims the defeat OF Allen q. Myers
and Ed. Young by 400
In Cleveland the day passed IN very order
ly manner. There were no disturbances and
the new registery law seemed TO be great
success. Fraud was lessened and big vote
was polled. The morning was wet and dis
agreeable but uotwiths aiding the electors
"a
are that Foraker carried Cleveland and Cuya-
hoga county by about 1000 aud that the Re
publican county ticket Il elt cted by varying
majoriiies All over the western reserve sub
stantial Republican gains are shown, and in
only one town, Oberlin, has the Prohibition
vote caused Republican lo,s.
In Toledo the vote was light as compared
with that Of last fall and also OF 1883, when
Hoadley carried the county by Leo Returns
from hfteen of twent, four precincts show a
L publ can gain Of upwards of 800,
The vote averages 10 10 10 per cent. less than
than that Of last year. The Prohibition vote
was small in the city, and showed scarcely any
increase. Returns come IN very slowly on
account Of the large number OF scratched tick
cts but the indications are that the Republi-
cans have elected most OF their coun y ticket
by somewhat de reasrd pluraiities from last
year. Returns recei, ed early on the morning
Of the 18th emb acing about one half OF the
precincts In Lucas count, show Republican
gains in early all those h ard from. Wade,
Democrat. for sh riff probably has majority
Of 500 Representatives, are In doubt, with
chance fayoring the Republics an candidates.
The reminder 4 the Republican county tick
Il probably elected by small majorites, and
they claim the county for Foraker by 400
A Cincinnati dispatch received on the l4th
says The Republicans have made a clean
sweep. Foraker is elect d governor 10y vote
that ,xcites admiration, and surprises his most
enthusiastic supporters. His plurality will be
not Ic' tuAn -OOUO Tue DcInOcTals CouCcue
IL by flom 1900 10 1900. The general as
semby will be Repub lean, and this means the
election Of Republican United States senator.
Tie result is as griev.ous disappointment To
the Prohbtionists as 10 the Democrats and is
likely to put such damper on their feelings
as 10 cause the third element 10 disappear from
Ohio politics
MAdvises received by the Cleveland Leader
say: The whole state Republican ticket is
eli cted by 1880 to 1900 plurality. The
legislature will be Republi an on Joint ballot
with a good working majority in both houses.
Western Reserve came out in full force, every
one feeling II duty 10 do all in his power TO
bring the country back to Republi an rule.
This result will secure the election OF a
Republican senator and the early enactment
Of law regulating liquor traffic. Another
very probable result of the election viii be 10
eliminate third party prohibition from Ohio
