ELECTIONS IN OHIO.
More Republican Than Democratic Gains
Cincinnati Defeats Fla sion.

Cincinnati Defeats Fusion.
Cincinnati. April ga summary of
the results of the municipal and town
ship elections in Ohio yesterday indi-
cate more Republican than Democratic
gains, but no special cause for it is as
signed except that the Republican fac
tons that have been lighting for years
have evidently been getting together,
and that the Democrats have shown
more Indifference than usual. This ap-
plies especially to the larger cities, but
there have been Republican gains, ac-
cOrding to the returns, from rural dis
tricts and interior towns that are not
thus accounted for. The result in Gin
cinnati, which on the average plurality
more than reverses the result at the
last general municipal election, is at
tributed to less fractional fighting
among the Republicans and the indif-
ference Of the Democrats.
In Cleveland, where the factions have
been most intense the result is also
decisive. A feature Of the day was
the election of DR.. Washington Glad
den as councilman at Columbus,
where the question of municipal fran
chises was special issue. The writ
ings of DR.. GLADDEN. on labor ques-
tions and social and political economy
are well known, as well as his work as
pastor and lecturer, and his expert
ence in n parliament Of ward repre-
sentatives will no doubt attract general
interest.
The Republicans elected their ticket
at Toledo, where Mayor Samuel Jones
has held sway as an independent fac
tor for years. At Dayton the Demo-
Gratis reelected Mayor Lindmuth. AS
local issues were paramount at almost
all places it is difficult to indicate any
cause for the drift of public prefer
ences.
Cincinnati, April 3.-Complete re-
turns on the election show the follow
ing results Majority Of Fleischmann,
Republican, over Cohen, fusion, for
mayor, 5,51S. The majority of Robert
Allison, Republican, receiving the high
est number of votes for board Of public
service over Grogan, fusion, receiving
the lowest number Of votes, was S,4T9.

CHICAGO CITY ELECTION.
Republicans Get a Majority in the Coun-
cil-Township Results.

Republicans Get a Majority in the COun-
cil-Township Results.
Chicago, April A very light vote
was cast at the city election yester-
day. The contests were chiefly alder
manic, although in each of the various
townships an assessor, collector, super
visor and clerk was chosen. The chief
interest centered in the aldermanic
vote. Thirty-fve of these officials were
chosen, the Republicans securing nine
and the Democrats sixteen. The old
city council contained 81 Democrats,
80 Republicans and / independent.
The new council contains 40 Republic
ans and 20 Democrats, making an adj
ditonal member of council for new
ward recently annexed. In the cleo
tons for town officers, the Republicans
carried the south town, town of Hyde
Park and town of Lake View, while
the Democrats carried the north and
west town and town Of Lake. The
majorities in these cases were small.
In the townships outside of the city
limits, the Republicans, as usual, made
a clean sweep, electing the entire
ticket.
The Municipal Voters League made
a strong fight against those 1t called
"gangsters and grafters." The League
indorsed thirty-nine aldermanic candi-
dates and repudiated twenty-one. OF
the thirty mine Endorsed nineteen were
elected, and of the twenty-one re-
pudiated twelve were elected. Much
interest centered in the fight In the
Second ward, where Mayor Harrison
made n strong fight for G. +. Gunther,
the Democratic nominee. Gunther was
beaten by w. Ii. Thompson, Republl-
can, by 400 votes. Both were Endorsed
by the League.
Township elections were held
throughout Illinois yesterday, and 80
