TIE OHIO ELECTION.
Great Interest Manifested in This

Great Interest Manifested in This
City.
The interest manifested in the result Of
yesterdays election over IN OHIO was very
great, and during tue afternoon and early
evening hours the question upon every
body's lips was: What is the news from
over the river2
During the day offerings Of money on
Hoadly and on the Democrats carrying the
Legislature were frequent, but Republicans
were shy Ct putting up their wealth, even
when two and three TO one was the induce
mert. However, quite number Of bets
were made, about the hotels and saloons
before dusk, several of the stakes being
quite large.
Soon after nighttall the anxious multi
tude began to bsseige the newspaper Of.
Gees for news, and telephone bells here
kept busy up to late hour. At halfpast
eight crowds began t, collect in front OF the
Offices, and IS news began to arrive they
invaded the counting rooms aud prepared
to camp out until victory should perch
upon the banner OF one or the other party.
At the REGISTER cflice the crowd was
yeER large, Bulletins were received in the
counting room and read for the benefit of
ell within esrshot. From the start the
figures showed Republican gains and as
the night wore away, and the ratio kept up
or increased slightly the Democrats grad
ually gave up the State ticket, but clung
,ensciously to the hope that the Legislature
might be theirs.
Some Republican money came out Of he
owners pockets about o'clock, and men
who were afraid to take two to one during
the day, when the issue was doubtful,
pluck,d up courage enough to offer even
money, but, except in rare instances, no
Democratic suckers were caught.
At hslfpast twelve this morning one
fifth of the State had been heard from, the
Republican gain being about fifteen 10 the
