In Cleveland the day passed IN very order
ly manner. TLsre were no sturbancCs and
the new r5gis.ery law seemed To be great
success. Fraud was lcssened and big vote
was polled. The morning was wet and dis
agreeable, but Lotwiths a d ny the electors
turned out in great numbers. The indications
are that For aker carried Cleveland and Cuya-
hoga county by about 1900 and that the Re-
publican county ticket Is clC cte1 by varying
Inajorities. Ali over the western reserve sub
stantial Republican gains are shown, and in
only one town, Oberin, has the Prohibition
vote caused a Republican los.
In Toledo the vote was light as compared
with that OF last fall, and also of 1883, when
Hoadley carried the county by 1900 Returns

was small in the city, and showed scarcely any
increase. Returns come in very slowly on
account of the large number of scratchCd tick
cts, but the indications are that the Republi-
cans have elected most of their coun y ticket

year. Returns received early on the morning
Of the 18th embracing about onehalf of the

gains in nearly all those h ard from. Wade,

they claim the county for Foraker by 400.
Cincinnati dispatch received on the l4th
says: The Republicans have made q clean
sweep. Foraker is elect d governor by vote
hat exctes admiration, and surprises his most
enthusiastic supporters; His plurality will be
not less than $4,000 The Democrats concede
it by from 15,C00 to 1900. The general as
sembly will be Republican, and this means the
election of Republican United States senator.
The result is as grievious disappointment to
the frohbitionists as to the Democrats, and is
likely to put such danper on their feelings
as to cause the third element 10 disappear from
Ohio politics,
Advises received by the Cleveland Leader
say: The whole state Republican ticket is
elected by 15C00 TO $500 plurality. The
legislature will be Republican on joint ballot
with a good working majority in both houses.
The vote was heavy and Republicans on the
Western Reserve came out in full force every
bring the country back to Republican rule.
| This result will secure the election OF q
Republican senator and the early enactment
Of a law regulating liquor traffic. Another
very probable result of the election will be to
politics.
