There is no doubt that Forakers tireless and DILL
ia.t persDna campaign coupled with his prodigions
feat two years ago, daily augmented his popularity
and made him the strongest candidate that couid
have been placed at the head OF the State ticket.
The GOyernOr-elect was especially fortunate IN
having the hearty support OF Thoroughly COLI
petent and faithful committee.
At o'clock this morning Judge Foraker called
unon Nurat HaiStead at the Office of lie tRctbhdh

fight against Leonard, the Democratic party ana
the corrupt gang that infests Hamilton county.
Mr. IIalstead coInplmented Judge Foraker on ms
magnificent canvass and splendid victory. and con
cudcd by saying that he felt like embracing Chair.
man Bushnell of the State Committee. One secret
of Republican snccess lies in the fact that the party
was closely and thoroughly organized, while the
Democrats had no organization.
The victory said eX-Minister T.. +. Moves to-
davn was due TO faith IN the principles of the he,
publican party and its business integrity ana
capacity, coupled with general desire to rebnke
the deI lorihie corruption of the last Legislature
and to inaugurate an of municipal reform and
good government" ,c.
The Republicans if they have elected the Senate,
will have complete control Of the executive, judi
cial and legislative branches of the government OF
Ohio The Supreme Court Will nave more l'e-
publican than Democratic Judges.
