The election In Ohio on Ia 10y, Vot,
Der 18Th, passed Of quietly. IA POW
ed over the state du1ng the Ae6A ing, ~
the sky cleared by midday, and ~ PIG
noon was favorable, permitting sf9A W
10 be polled In most localities. Td6 ne
ton was for state and county officers, \
thirty-seven senators and ITO represents
tives Of the general assembly, and upon
four amendments to the constitution Of thu
state elections from October to November
and one to change the term Of Office fol
township trustees.
Governor Hoad.ey was the democratic
candidate for re-ele ction, ]. B. Foraker the
republican candidate, and Rev. A. B. Lso-
nard the prohibition candidate for COVER
nor. There are 2,017 voting precinctsin the
state.
The comparison was made with the vote
for governor in 1883, when Gov. Hoadley
vas elected by q plurality of Il. 592 over
J. B. Foraker.
In Cincinnati, Cleveland and other lead
ing cities of Ohio, the registered vote was
nearly all polled. There were some arrests
in Cincinnati for fraudulent attempts to
vote, and some minor disorderly conduct,
but in general it was peaceful election.
The returns show uniform gains for
Foraker. The prohibition vote showed
considerable gains, but was irregular, in
some localities greatly increasing while in
others scarcely any vote was polled.
The republicans were very jubilant
throughout the state with bands and bon
fires. The democrats are correspondsngly
quiet and receiving the result with good
grace,
Gov. Hoadly thinks the democrats may
have saved the senate. The republican
executive committee claim the election of
Foraker by from 5000 to 1900 plurality,
though the complete retCrns may make it
more, They have information from oil the
doubtful counties and have elected their
representatives. They claim q majority
on joint ballot outside of Hamilton.
Allen o. Myers is th1ught to be defeated
for the legislature in Franklin county by Q
small majority.
This will make the legislature republic
can on joint ballot with good working ma
jority in both houses.
The vote was heavy, and republicans on
the Western Reserve came out in full
force, every one feeling it his duty to do
all in his power to bring the country back
to republican rule.
This repulse will secure the election OF q
republican United States senator, and the
early enactment of law regulating the
l quor traffic.
Another very probable result of the cleo
ton will be to eliminate the third party
(prohibitor) from Ohio politics.
The republicans elect two senators in the
Cuyahoga district and two representatives
in Franklin county, onein Marion and one
in Hardin county.
The returns from ISL precincts in the
state give republican gain of 1852. This
includes more than one-half of the state.
The Commercial Gazstte says: The re-
publicans made the fight against the
Leonard party hot and severe and drew
the lines. The democrats coddled the
fraud, and the result is he got many demo-
crat voters.
Gov. Hoadly damaged himself seriously
by his endorsement OF Allen O'Myers for
tne legislature.
At Washington less interest was openly
manifested in the result of the Ohio cleo.
ton than has been the case in any event of
like political importance in the present
generation. Generally on such occasions
there have been considerable crowds around
the bulletin boards. There was no crowd,
and, with one exception, no bulletin boards.
Few people in the departments have mani
fl sted interest enough to ask for the news
during the day, and it would be difficult to
name dozsn federal officers from Ohio
who havegone home to vote.

republican by one maj ority.
