THE, OHIO ELECTION,


Governor by plurality Of about Il, GOO over
Gov. Hoadly, the Democratic nominee, and
the other candidates on the Republican
State ticket have even larger pluralities.
The Prohibition vote was slightly increased
and it seems to have been drawn about
equally from the Republican and Demo
cratic ranks. The Greenback vote was in
significant, and one of the results of the
election, according to the opinion of many
intelligent observers, will be to eliminate
both the Prohibition and Greenback parties
as potent factors in future political contests
in Ohio.
The complexion of the Legislature is in
doubt, with chances favoring the Republic
cans. The exact political status of the body
| will not be known until the official count of
the votes of Hamilton county now in pro-
gress has been completed. The city of Gin
cinnati is in this county and number of
inaccuracies, irregularities, and frauds in
the Commissioners count and returns
make it impossible to determine the result
in advance of the official canvass. Hami}-
ton county has ten Rep, esentatives and it
is probable that the. Republicans have
elected nine and the Democrats one.
In this event, the reelection of Hon. John
Sherman to the United States Senate will be
assured, and he will consequently become
one Of the most prominent Republican can
didates for next President.
