CINCINNATI (O), April al
though local issues controlled most of
the municipal elections to-day, yet the
general result throughout Ohio shows
Democratic gains along the Lake Shore,
the river counties and in the interior
counties. This gives the Democrats
control of most of the machinery for
the election next November of State
officers and members of the Legisla
ture. Governor Bushnell will stand
for a second term. Senator Mark A.
Hanna is the Republican candidate for
Senator and John r. Mclean the free
silver candidate for Senator. All of
these three leaders, as we'll as eX-Sena-
tor Brice, are interested parties, and
contributed directly and indirectly to
the organized efforts of the canvass.

poration Counsel-but under the re-
Gently enacted Dana law it could not

ct.
The ticket headed by Gustav Tafael
was victorious throughout, the lowest
plurality being for one of the Republi-
cans, E. o. Shelby, for City Treasurer,
who received only 800 plurality, and
against whom a fight was made on ac-
count of the construction of new water
works and for local reasons.
There was a total vote of over 81. 900
as compared with $4,000 last Novem-
Der, being an unusually large vote for
a local or spring election The issue
here was on George B. Cox, who has
been recognized as a boss in the city

controlling factor in State politics. The

MICHIGAN.
DETROIT, April 5.-William C. May
bury Demo was elected Mayor to-day
by about LOCO majority over Captain
Albert r.. Stewart (Rep). In view Of

surprising that Judge John Miner

Sellers, Republican, who was reelected
by a majority fully equal to that re-
ceived by Maybury.

a decided defeat for Governor Pingree,
who practically named Captain Stew

the courts overruled the Governors

of Governor and Mayor.
