daf shows Democratic gains. The large

rality came from the cities which to-day
went Democratic.
Outside of these cities, the State was

The free silver issue, .and the friends of
9ohn Il. Mclean, who is the Democratic

possibly the State ticket next November
on the free silver issue,
In Cincinnati, sthe home of Senator
Foraker, Republican plurality last year
OF 10000 is displaced: by Democratic
plurality of over 1000. In Cleveland, the
home Of Senator Hanna, the Democrats
made large gains: even the home of Pres
idert Mckinley at Canton, went Demo

ut Springfield is strongly Republican, and
that city elected h Democratic MAYOR by
over 400.
The metropolis and the capital of the
state went Democratic, while the result
IN the smaller places was still more de-
cisive.
While the result in Cincinnati is due
largely to the opposition to George b.
CON, who had become offensive as boss

lied to disaffection, which is..largely based
on the continuation of the hard times.

Democrats will also control. the board of
education. This city gave Mckinley a
plurality last November of 25Q.

Secretary Sherman, Thursday of last
week, knocked out Bob Fitzsimmons in
one round of one minute. The noted
pugilist called at the State, War and Navy
building to see the sights, among the most
important of which he considered Secretary
Sherman.
He asked the messenger for an audience
with Mr. Sherman, and when the secretary
was informed of the request he directed
that the pugilist be admitted. Bob saun-
tered into the room in the same manner
that he would penetrate restaurant, and
was about to thrust out his ham- like hand
to clasp the delicate digits of the secretary
and say "How dye, john" when Mr..
Sherman slowly turned his eyes on him.
The glance contained whole polar

and he began to fdget with his hat. For
an instant he remained thus, and then he
sank into chair. The secretary contin-

so nervous that his hat trembled in his
bands.

little alarm in the hotels and even on a
crowded street car on Notre Dame street,

very distinctly the peculiar trembling OF
the leaves of the trees. The glasses in the
hotels were ratified and in some cases
guests rushed out of their rooms to see
where the explosion was. People on the
streets did not notice the shock very much
until they saw people rushing to their win
