REPUBLICANS
Elect the Entire City Ticket in
Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, APRIL 2--The repuh!-
cans elected their entire city ticket to-
day. They also have the members Of the
new public service for three years, which
controls every thing except the police
and fire departments The board OF iegis-
lation stand tenty-four republicans and
seven democrats, and the board OF edu-
cation tenty-four republicans and seven
democrats.
Three years ago the fusion ticket was
elected by a plurality Of 7.445 on a total
vote of 66,0oo. The total vote WAS about
the same today and the plurality much
larger on the other side. Then. as now,
the fusion ticket was equally divided be-
tween the democrats and what are known
locally as republicans who are opposed
to George b. Cox"
The fusionists have carried this city
and county repeatedly.
Last November they elected most OF
their ticket. the republicans securing on
" one senator and two representatives
The old 1ght against George b. Cox op-
ened last month as vigorously as ever,
burt the Independent republicans charged
that the democrats did not make the
nominations that the conference commit
tee had agreed upon. This rupture was
followed by the republicans nominating

Hebrew. He is only twenty-eight years

1896, and is a very close friend OF Sena-
tor Hanna. who is said to have request
ed the young man to make the race. He
was elected by more than $500 plurality
over State Senator Alfred NJ Cohen, the
candidate for the fusionists.
