Cincinnati, April 3.-The republi-
cans never scored such a success over
the fusionists as at the election here
Monday for all the city offices. They
also have all the members of the new
board of public service for three years,
which controls everything except the
police and fire departments. The
board of Legislation stands: Twenty
four republicans and seven democrats
and the board of education "a republic
cams and seven democrats.
Three years ago the fusion ticket
was elected by a plurality of 7,445 on
a total vote of $4,000. The total vote
was about the same yesterday and the
plurality much larger on the other
side. Then as now the fusion ticket
was equally divided between the dem
ocrats and what are known locally as
"Repubicans who are opposed to
George b. Cox" The fusionists car
Last November they elected most of
their ticket, the republicans securing
only one senator and two representa-
tives out of delegation of ii assem-
blymen. The old fight against George
ID. ION ODtneu fiSOiouS-
ly as ever, but the independent repub-
licans charged that the democrats did
not make the nomination that the con-
ference committee had agreed upon.
This rupture was followed by the
republicans nominating Col. julius
Fleischmann, millionaire Hebrew,
for mayor. He is only % years old.
For years he has managed large in
terests. He is in New York most of
the time and was there when nomina-
ted, returning only week ago. He
was colonel on the staff of Gov. Nc
Kinley from 1892 to 1896 and is
close friend of Senator Hanna, who is
said to have requested the young man
to make the race. He was elected by
$500 plurality over State Senator AL
| fred NJ. Cohan, the fusion candidate,
together with the full republican city
ticket. There were six arrests for IL
legal voting.
Latter Developments leave no doubt
of there being plot to blow up the
house of George b. Cox Sunday night,
when an internal machine was left on
| his porch. There was some doubt
about the motive in the case after the
discovery Monday morning, principal
| ly due to the fact that it WIS election
day and some of the political oppo-
nents of Mr.. Cox circulated the report
that it was n sympathetic scheme for
| effect at the polls. Others started the
report that it was a trick, as the in
fernnl machine was left at his house
on the night of All Fools day.
The box had sliding lid. On the
under side of the lid was fastened a
strip of sandpaper which was to set
off matches whenever the lid was pull
ed out. These matches were arranged
to set fire TO squib, which would
communicate flame 10 n cap that was
to explode stick of dynamite. The
servant girl first discovered the box,
which had lain out all night on the
porch, and brought it no Mrs. Cox.
Mrs. Cox opened it, but the exposure
of the matches to dampness all night
prevented them from igniting.
Sunday night man that had over
heard two men talleing suspiciously on
Vine street went ITO Mr.. Cox and noti-
fled him of danger. This conversation
appeared to be in a form of threats of
personal danger to Mr.. Cox. He was
on his guard and when the box was
shown TO him he Thought he under.

The box was taken by the police e
