THOSE OF OHIO IO LEAD orf "AAh'
The People Have Not Yet Turned Again
to the Democracy, Though they Were
Democratic Victories.
COLUMBUS, O., April 2.-The
result OF the election in Ohio
cities yesterday show the tide has
not yet turned in favor of the
Democrats. Of the larger cites
only Columbus was carried by
them, though the count may yet
show that Major, Republican,
has been defeated for mayor OF
Toledo. Two of the three Re
publican newspapers there were
opposing him, however, and his
defeat could hardly be claimed
as a triumph of the Democrats.
Blee, the Democratic mayor of
Cleveland, who is defeated for
reelection by McKisson. Repub-
ican, by 5000 plurality, is one
of Senator Brice's lieutenants in
northern Ohio, and it may be in
some degree said to be rebuke
for Brice. EEx Governor Campbell
and Congressman Sorg, alone
among Ohio Democrats, can
claim some election honors.
Campbell's town, Hamilton,
elected the whole Democratic
ticket by about 1000 plurality,
and Sorg's town, Middleton,
which is strongly Republican,
elected S. Stanzy, Democrat,
mayor by over 100 plurality. In
this city the question was not a
political one. Both the Demo
cratic and Republican candidates
for mayor were believed to favor
the opening Of saloons at
night aud on Sunday.
The law and order element
placed D. E. Williams, a Demo-
crat, in nomination, pledged to
enforce the closing ordinances.
Williams drew nearly his entire
support from the Republicans,
and the Democrats, supporting
their candidate, G. II. Allen, solid
ly, elected him by nearly 1000.
DETROIT, MICH, April q
L L
do not show much change from
last night. It is probable that
Judge J. P. Moore, Republican,
for Justice of the Supreme
Court, has carried the State by
$4,000 plurality, over Justice
McGratch, Democrat. The two
Republican candidates for re-
gents of the University, r. W.
Butterfeld and Chas, Ii. Hack
ley, have run slightly ahead Of
Moore. The Republican State
ticket has probably carried every
county in the State. In the local
elections the Republicans have
carried a large majority of the
towns and cities.
ST. LOUIS, April 2.-Repub-
lican victory assured. Demo
Gratis at 3. p. m. claimed but one

ception of a few isolated alder

defeated by the Republicans for
alderman in the first ward, a
Democratic stronghold, by 400
votes In the nineteenth ward,

didate for alderman, appears to
have the whip hand. Alderman
McGillen, Mayor Hopkins right
bower, is behind in the twenty
first ward, and the only Demo
cratic survivors of the alderman
ic cyclone from the present out
look are Stuckart, of the sixth
and Bennett. of the eighth.

cincts give Swift, Republican
for mayor, 139, 211; Wenter, Dem
ocrat, SO, 162.
