Sweeping Victories in Ohio, Michigan and.

Cincinnati, April 5.-The election
in Cincinnati to-day was for Mayor
and other city officers and members.
Of the Board Legislation. The Re
publican ticket was headed by Levi
G. Goodale, for Mayor, and the Dem
ocratic ticket by Gustav Tafel, the.
latter being elected by plurality of
1920, while the city gave Mckinley
a plurality of almost 10000 last No
vember, and Caldwell, Republican.
for Mayor, three years ago, a plural
ity of 6,755.
Although local issues controlled
most of the municipal elections to-
day, yet the general results through
out Ohio show Democratic gains,
along the lake shore, the river coun-
ties and in the interior counties. This
gives the Democrats control of most
of the machinery for the election next
November of State officers and mem
bers of the Legislature. Gov. Bush
nell will stand for a second term
Senator Mark A. Hanna is the Re
publican candidate for Senator, andk
John r. Mclean the free silver cam
didate for Senator. These three lead
ers, as we'll as ex-senator Brice, s'e'
interested parties, and contribute
directly and indirectly to the orga
lied efforts of the canvass.

Detroit, April 5-William G. May
bury, Democrat, was elected Mayor
to-day by about 800 majority over
Capt Albert E. Steward, Republican.
In view of Mr.. Maybury's victory, it
is considered surprising that Judge
Miner, Democratic candidate for
Police Justice, was defeated by Judge
Albert F. Sellers, Republican who
was re- elected by a majority full y
equal to that received by May bury.
Maybury's election is looked upon,
as decided defeat, for Gov. Pingree,
who practically named Capt. Stewart
as his successor as Mayor after the.
courts had overruled the Governors
contention that he could hold both
the offices of Governor and Mayor.
Midnight estimates based upon re-
turns thus far received from the State,
give Long upwards of 10000 plurality
for Supreme Court Justice. The Re-
publican candidates for regents Of
the University are elected by proba-
bly, somewhat lesser pluralties, as
Judge Long ran ahead of his ticket
generally. McKinleys majority in
Michigan was about 5000 Pingree's
for Governor was 10000 greater, To-
days vote was light at most points,
and while many free silver gains are
noted in the smaller cities, there were
a few slumps favorable to the Repub-
licans.
Democrats al so elected their ticket
in Grand Rapids, Battle Creek Man
istee and St Joseph.
INDIANA.
Evansville, Ind April 5.-The Dem
ocrats elected VIM. NJ. Akin, Jr..
Mayor, and eleven Councilmen. The
city went Republican in November
last.

Chicago, H., April chicago has
been redeemed. Carter H. Harrison,
the Democratic candidate for Mayor,

$1,000 out of $4,000 votes cast, of
which Bryan received $4,000. Yes
