Sergeant-at-Arms Of the House Leedom has
Just returned from Ohio. He is extremely
happy. The only regret he has ia that the re-
puoiicans had majority of some eighteen or
twenty In his county. He says that there is a
posslbillty-just possibility--of the election of
some OF the republican state ticket, but that the
legislature like the governorship, is democratic.
de attributes the victory largely to the tariff,
and says there is practically a revolution in
ohio on that subject. Some of the greatest
gains were made by the democrats, he says,
where they talked hardly anything but tariff
reform 70 the people. In Cincinnati the demo-
cratic gains were among the solid business
men. In Akron a gain was made of 100 votes
on the tariff ISSUE

"Do you think the victory will be permanent
In It's efects!' The STAR reporter asked
Yes, the fight is on in the republican party
and the democrats will hold the state for wears
TO come. Foraker's friends have their knives
sharpened and are going to stab every member
Oh the Sherman faction they can get blow at.
inere Is no spirit OF Cancellation or compro-
mise. The Foraker men know that their can
aiaaIe was cut and they are going to have re-
Venge. 1t will be war to death between the
TWO factions. There is no doubt that Gros-
vernon and others of Sherman's friends
cut under Foraker wherever they could
and Foraker knows it. A prominent friend of
Foraker's said to me on the cars as came to
washington, that every man of the Sherman
Clique who stuck his head out would have q
knife put in him., They we're politically dead
IN Ohio, he declared. The result of the victory
VIII be that we will gain at least six new mem
bers at the next congressional election, and if
Grosvenor or any of Those men are nominated
they will be defeated. We are liable to carry
some OF the strongest republican districts.
by the present vote We would have elected
democrats in five congressional districts"
Ohio" he added, lis sure to go democratic

KISSES FOR VOTE.
Leedom told a good story of how young
republican was induced to vote for Campbell.
certain democrat who was great admirer of
Campbell had pretty servant girl. young
man was visiting her who in every way
what he should be except that he was very
ardent republican. The gentleman of the
house tried very hard to get him to vote for
Campbell, but nothing would induce him to go
back on Foraker. Finally the pretty servant
girl was induced to take hold of the missionary
work. The young man was much ill love with
her and had been long begging for kiss.
'Tll tell you what" she said to him one
night, IF you will vote for Campbell, I'll give
you five kisses"
Her looked at her for a moment Her rosy
cheeks and red lips looked tempting, and her
eyes burnt into his heart
Done" he said. '.I'lI agree"
He got his five kisses-perhaps more than
fye-and voted the democratic ticket.
THAT man loves yOu," the gentleman of the
house said to the girl atterward. ..lf he asks
you to marry him you should do it. He'll make
you good husband You should marry him. 4"
The girl blushed, 81 think I will sir !"
