CINCINNATI, o., April 1.-The Repub-
licans never scored such success over the
fusionists as at the election here to-day
for all the city offices. They also have all
members of the new Board of Public Serv-
ice for three years, which controls every
thing except the police and fire depart
ments. The Board of Legislation stands
twenty-four Republicans and seven Demo-
Gratis and the Board of Education twenty
four Republicans and seven Democrats.
Three years ago the fusion ticket was
elected by plurality Of 1,445 on total
vote of 5000. The total vote was about
the same to-day and the plurality much
larger on the other side. Then as now the
fusion ticket was equally divided between
the Democrats and what are known locally
as Republicans who are opposed to
George B. Cox" The fusionists carried this
city and county repeatedly. Last Novem-
Der they elected most of their ticket, the
Republicans securing only one senator
and two representatives out of a delega-
ton of fourteen assemblymen.
The old fight against George B. Cox
opened last month as vigorously as ever.
but 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
Colonel Julius Fleischmann, a millionaire
Hebrew for mayor. He Is only twenty
eight years old. but very popular. For
years he has successfully managed large
interests. He is in New York most of the
time and was there when nominated, re-
turning only a week ago. He was colonel
on the staff of Governor Mckinley from
1892 to 1896 and is a very close friend to
Senator Hanna, who is said to have re-
quested the young man to make the race.
Complete returns show the following re-
lican. over Cohen, fusion, for mayor, 5.51S
The majority of Robert Allison, Republic
an, receiving the highest number of votes

fusion, receiving the lowest number of
votes, was S,479. Holder. Republican. over
Noctor, fusion. for Police Court clerk, had
a majority of 9,629. Millikin, Republican,
for auditor. over Boyden. fusion, received
e143 majority. These figures show that
Boyden led the fusion ticket, and that Co.
hen, fusion, next after Boyden, led his
ticket, and that Holder, Republican, for
Police Court clerk, was highest his
ticket, and Millikin. Republican. for audi
tor. was the lowest on that ticket.
A summary of the results of the munich
pal and township elections in Ohio to-day
indicate more Republican than Democratic
gains but no cause for it is assigned except

fighting for years have evidently geen get
ting together and that the Democrats have
shown more indifference than usual. This
applies especially to the larger cities, but
there have been Republican gains, accord
ing TO the returns. from rural districts and
interior towns that are not thus accounted
for. The result in Cincinnati. which
on the average plurality, more than re-
verses the result at the last general mu-
nicipal election, is attributed to less fac
tional fight among the Republicans and the
indifference of the Democrats. In Cleve-
land, where the factions have been most
intense the result is also decisive. A fea-
ture OF the day has been the election of
DR.. Washington GLADDEN., as a councilman
at Columbus. where the question of mu-
writings of DR.. GLADDEN. on labor questions
and social and political economy are well
known as we'll as his work as a pastor and
lecturer and his experience i'm a parliament
of ward representatives will no doubt at
tract general interest. The Republicans
elected their ticket at Toledo. where Mayor
Samuel Jones has held sway as an inde-
pendent factor for years. At Dayton, the
Democrats reelected Mayor Lindmuth.
At some interior points the Republicans
elected officers where they had sever
elected them before. while there have been
no phenomenal gains by the Democrats.
AS local issues were paramount at almost
all places 1t is difficult to indicate any
cause for the drift of public preferences
Later returns show that the Republicans
were also victorious in Albion. Benton Har-
