At $50 Tuesday evening terminated
the great battle in Ohio. The day was
perfect, as the sun shone brilliantly and
a soft wind blew from the south. At
st. Clairsyille there was little excite
ment, though the Democratic candidates
worked untiringly to save themselves
from the defeat which seemed to be in
the air. The vote was about up to last
years in numbers. AT no time was there
lack of encouragement for Republicans
The returns were slow in coming in, but
were from the first full of promise of sue
cess. Returns were read in the Probate
Court room. By midnight enough was
known to insure Republicans that a
great victory had been won, that indeed
a political revolution had swept the
country from Boston to Yankton, and
they cheerfully staid up the rest of the
night. But there was gloom at the Dem.
ocratic quarters, and the rooms were
closed about IL, and except those who
came into the Republican quarters, none
could be seen.
The result is great triumph for Pro
lection. Massachusetts, goes Republican
by about 25,0OO; in New York, Republic
ans win by 10000, elect a Senate and
House, and defeat Maynard by 1900
Pennsylvania is of course Republican
and by.about 10000; a Republican Leg
islature is probably elected in New Jei
sey; Iowa comes back into Republican
control by 5000; South Dakota, Kansas
and Nebraska are safely Republican
while Virginia, Maryland and Kentuck.
ae about as Democratic as usual.
Governor Mckinley wins in Ohio by
victory more overwhelming and DECISIVE
than any since the war. He is now pu
au3OOOO majority. The Legislature i
Republican by large majority.
Old Belmont county stood right up II
line. Very few people expected her t
do it, but she elected every man ON tn
ticket. She gave Mckinley maJorit
of 1850, gain of 1850 over last fall. Sh
gave larger majority than ever befor
known for either Democrat or Reput
lican.

OFFICIAL MAJoRITIES.

The Republicans of Belmont county,
no less than the Republicans of the
entire State, have won a magnificent
victory. The Democracy has been buried
out of sight beneath the votes of men
disgusted with Democracy and Demo
cratic times. Old Belmont has beaten
her record and sends through the whole
Republican ticket by the largest majority
ever known in this county. Almost
every precinct in the county and State
contributes to the unprecedented
majority for the Republican ticket. 1t
Is clean sweep. The Legislature is
Republican in both branches by more
than two-thirds majority, and in almost
everything the Democracy was so far
behind in the race as to be no cOnsidera-
BILE factor in the result. The verdict is
an almost unanimous endorsement by the
people of Ohio of the principles of pro-
lection as embodied in the Mckinley bill,
as well as notice to Cleveland, HOke
Smith & Co. that the people of Ohio and
other Northern States want no free trade
or rebel control of pensions. 1t signifies
that the people have had enough of the
change that came last year.
Gov. McKinley's majorities by town.
ships are as follows; Pultney township,
including Bellaire, 205; Bridgeport, city
Ind country precinct, 24S; Martins Ferry
city and precinct 437; Colerain So; Flush
ing IlS; Goshen rs; Kirkwood 12l; Union

Washington 81; Wayne 8.
Meals majorities are Mead "a, ,Richland
81, Smith 79, Somerset 6, Wheeling 52,
York 81
The majorities on the county ticket
vary somewhat. Heinlein, Tallman and
Kirk all run ahead of the ticket and Loper
runs about with the ticket. Weems and
Mechem, upon whom great fight was
made run behind. These two men had
5 to stand the united assaults of the De-
mocracy, but their pluralities are suffi-
cient. Heinlein got a great vote along
the river, running far ahead of McKin-
ley in Pease and Pultney townships
Judge Tallman received great vote in
Richland and several other townships.
Kirk ran ahead of Nc Kinley in Bellaire,
Richland, Union, and did no bad work in
any.
Owing to the difficulty in collecting
reliable figures on all the candidates in
every precinct we defer publishing the
vote by townships until next week, when
the official vote will be announced. But
all the majorities are sufficient. Nothing
got away and all Republicans are happy.
The following shows the vote for the

In Darkness.

Since Friday night there have been no
electric lights in houses or stores about
town, and it is probable that there will
be none for week or so The incandes-
cent dynamo is out of order Some parts
of it have been sent to the Westinghouse
Company at Pittsburgh, for examination
and repair, and the delay will necessarily
extend over several days. The trouble
is thought to be burning out of some
wire coils, in which case the wires will
be re-coiled and the capacity of the dy,
namo raised from 600 to 800 lights. The
streets lamps are all right.

vstion army, under his direction to be-
gin crusade among the non church
going element.
