tIOn In Ohio.
NKw YoRE, Nov. ll.-Senator John
Sherman said. to Tribune reporter: "We
are quite satisfied with the result Of the
election in Ohio. There was only one
weak spot in the Slate. The defeat ol
Congressman Little is much to be re-
gretted. 1t Is the one thing about which
we feel badly. There has been some
thing down in Kentucky to give US great
satisfaction. Tho Republicans elected
Mr.. Wilson to Congress from tho Louis
vile district. 1t is a great victory and
one that l think has come to stay.
