hO" ne On1O E1eCI1On W as Received
 Hn Washington-Presfdo Cleveland
 Qu1et-Sherman's Chances.
 WASHINGTON Oct 14-A lack of interest
 and the absence of the usual enthusiasm and
 excitement over the result of an Ohio cleo
 ton, was everywhere apparent here last night. The returns were meagre and late
 coming in and only small groups assembled where they were bulletined. This marked change was due, no doubt, to the fact that
 Republicans holding government positions thought it best not to be seen out late
 shouting over Republican defeat, while
 Democrats in office were naturally quiet, and Democrats out of office are so much dissatis- fled with the general course of things under the new administration that they were any thing but over enthusiastic.
 Returns were sent by telegraph from the United Press bureau to the President up to midnight. To-day noth- ing definite could be learned at the White House concerning the Presidents feelings over the result in Ohio. Some of his callers to-day say he exhibited no evidences of dis tress about it., and Colonel Lamont, the Presidents private secretary, observed, when asked how the President regarded the Democratic defeat in Ohio, that the Presi- dent said nothing about it to-day and that he did not think he lost any sleep over it last night. Administration men say that if the Democracy of Ohio had allied itself more close ly with the administration methods the result might have been different. On the other hand, some Democrats there who express qualification at the Republican
 success in Ohio and few who
 go ~ so far as to hope that New York may go Republican, believ- ing that a few such defeats will bring the administration to it's senses and away from ''mugwumpian" influence.
 Republicans in office are quiet, very quiet, but are no doubt pleased and rejoice in se- cret at their homes over the party's success; l while the faces of Republicans out of office | wear broad smile, the friends and admirers | of Senator John Sherman especially chuck ling over the certainty of his return to the Senate and the prominence which the Ohio l fight -distinctively Sherman fight, they | say-will give to that gentleman as presi- dential candidate in 1888.
