OHIO.
In regard to the municipal elections in
Ohio, q correspondent of the Chicago
Times telegraphs that journal from Column
bus as follows:
With the exception Of Dayton. where only
| Republican gains over the unusual vote OF last
| ledo, and other cities tn Republ can gains
| are attributed 10 the unsavory record of the
| present Democratic Legislature. The Repub-
leans elect the Mayor OF Cincinnati by 1000, OF
Cleveland by 5000, and Columbus by 1000, to
succeed Democrats. The unexpected sue
cess of the Republicans in all other
slowness of Cleveland in making appoint
ments for Ohio. In nearly all these places
there are factlOnal fights for Postmaster, Rev
enue Collectorships, and other appointments.
Mansfield, the home of Sherman and Geddes,
| elects a Republican Mayor and city officers for
| the fret time since 1879. Lancaster and Newark
elect their Republican city tickets for the first
time in their history. Mayor Constantine, OF
| Springfield, who wanted TO be First Assistant
Postma ster General, and came home mad, let
his city go Republican by 1900. He refused to
run for reelection. In GAINESVILLE, Delaware,
London. Logan, CoshoctOn, Steubenville, and
| all the ties OF prominence, excepting Dayton,
| Democratic officials are succeeded by ReIubli-
| cans. The old fight between the kid and the
mossback Democrats entered into the contest
| and has embittered the leaders so as TO make II
| probably worse at the next State election.
