and township officers. While local
issues usually control these spring
elections there were other influences
in some places. At Cleveland there
was decisive democratic victory on
the head of the ticket only, the result
being an echo of last years senatorial
contest when Mayor McKisson was the
candidate of the bolting republicans
and the democrats in the legislature
against Senator Hanna.
AT Columbus arepublican mayor was
elected for the first time in 12 years.
AT Cincinnati the republicans have
plurality of 1000. The present demo-
cratic mayor was elected two years
ago by almost as large plurality. AT
Toledo an independent republican was
, elected on Pingree issues assisted by
factional complications. At Dayton
the democrats made municipal gains,
hut the republicans gained in the town
ship.
The Western Reserve maintains its
usual republican majorities with some
gains over those of former April cleo
tions, notably at Youngstown, Warren,
Cadiz, Delaware and other cities in
northwestern Ohio.
In the smaller cities, as we'll as in the
rural districts, the republicans claim
gains, notably at Chillicothe, where
there was a change, Mayor Brown be-
ing defeated for reelection by James
Wood by 300. At Defiance the demo-
Gratis lost two councilmen and a men,
der of the board of education.
At Hamilton the democrats main
~ained their majorities, also at Lima,
Newark, Circleville, Upper Sanduslly,
Wapakoneta, Millersburg and Van
Vert. AT GAINESVILLE and Marysville
the republicans were successful and
they made gains at Napoleon. As
rule the vote was light. At Canton
james Robertson, rep, was elected
mayor by 10 plurality, a change from
the present democratic administration.
Cleveland, April 4.-John Farley,
dem, was yesterday elected mayor OF
this city by 1900 plurality over Robert
j.. McKisson, rep, the present incum-
bent, who was running for a third
term. The tr.her candidates on the
republican ticket were elected by fair
sized majorities. The campaign that
ended in McKisson's defeat was one
OF the most bitter ever known in this
city.
Toledo, April 4.-Montlay was per-
feet election day, clear and cool, and
the large registration was fully
brought out. 1t is probable that 26,-
600 votes were cast for the head of the
ticket, but the Jones men, after voting
for their favorite candidate, seemed to
care little for the minor offices and
the consequence is that the other candi-
dates will fall short. Mayor S. VI. Jones,
who was a candidate on an indepen-
dent ticket with platform of munich
pal ownership of utilities, has been
elected by at least 5000 plurality and
probably majority over all.
Columbus, April 4.-Samuel L. Black,
ddem.), mayor of Columbus, was de-
feated for reelection by Samuel j.
Swartz, (rep.), formerly police judge,
10y 1,293 plurality. Mayor Black is
president of the League OF American
Municipalities and this fact was used
as an argument in support of his can
ditlacy by the party managers. The
election was fought on strict party
lines. however, and was one of the
most bitterly contested in the history
of the city, the total vote cast, 27.964,
heing heavier than at the gubernatorial
election last fall.
Cincinnati, April 4.--Party lines were
not closely drawn in yesterdays mu-
nicipal election. Weather conditions
were favorable to a full vote, yet only
44,500 votes were cast. There were
only three officials TO be elected: Judge
of the superior court and two members
of the board of city affairs. The of.
fetal result is as follows: Rufus B
Smith, rep, Judge Of superior court
3O,432. Judge Smith had no opposi'
tlon on the democratic ticket. The Of
