Municipal Elections in Ohio Show
General Democratic Gains.

FACTIONAL FIGHT STARTED
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 2.-The general
democratic gains and victories in the Ohio
municipal elections yesterday were some
what alarming at first to the friends OF
Senator Foraker, because OF their bearing
on the legislative election this fall Charges
Of disloyalty are being banded between
the republican factions in Cleveland, To-
ledo and Columbus, and the party organi-
cations are demoralized.s In the six months
that will intervene before the Legislative
elections much may be done to restore
harmony In the republican ranks, S.lt
much remains to be done.
There is some cause for uneasiness on
the part Of Governor Nash also, as the re-
suit of his interference with the Cincinnati
prize fight. A large floating vote in that
city has already been disaffected from
him. Here in Columbus, however, the
election of Hinkle. democrat, for mayor,
is accompanied also by trouble in the
democratic organization, for 1t overthrows
the democratic machine and places ex-
Congressman John j. LentZ and the Bryan
democrats in control of party matters. The
old democratic machine fought Hinkle with
all Its power and lost.
Vote Throughout the State.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 2--In Ohio the
vote yesterday was unusually large for the
local elections Of April. There were local
option contests in some villages. The
"drys'' won at Lebanon, the county seat Of
Warren county, and in many smaller
places. but the "wets" claim they came out
better than they expected.
Democrats won in the large cities, max
ing their most notable gain in Columbus,
where Hinkle democraD defeated Taylor
L. Johnson
democrat succeeds John Farley (demo-
craft as mayor Of Cleveland. and Samuel
M. Jones was elected for third term at
Toledo
At Cincinnati there was no election. The
republicans won for minor offices at Day
ton and elected M L. Milligan mayor of
Springfield, the first republican mayor OF
that city for eight years. Mayor-elect NIL

banks of Indiana.
With the exception Of Cincinnati and
Springfield the democrats now control all
the large cities, but the republicans made
gains in nearly all the smaller cltleS ana III
the townships.
Jones' Majority About 5000.
TOLEDO. Ohio, April 2.-Samuel M. Jones
has been elected to succeed himself as may
or Of Toledo. His majority over McMaken
will be about 5000. Jones announced him
self as a non-partisan candidate and his
nomination was secured by petition. the

Special Dispatch 20 The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. April 2-The trading in
todays stock market reflected an unusual
number OF cross-currents and shrewd
Judges of the situation arrived at opposite
conclusions as to the significance of the
net results What appeared to be exten-
sive realizing was going % in one group
or stocks, while In others good buying and
open manipulation forced advances
An atmosphere OF caution was pro-
nounced In some quarters. while in others
fresh lines of new stock were accumulated
As matter Of fact the market is I'm the
hands OF strong men and a mishap must
precede change of purpose on their part
The cautious operators are taking profits
as they accrue and are disposed TO look
for the happening OF the unexpected.
The dealings in the steel stocks weres
again conducted upon a large scale, ana
prices were given excellent support. Earn
ings are said to be large. and the dividend
prospects are encouraging new purchases
IN conservative circles. The additional cap
itai added yesterday for the purpose of alb
sorbing other properties while something
of surprise. failed to cause any selling.
The success of the deal seems assured,
not only in the actual amalgamation of
the properties, but in the action of the newt
securities in the market
An advance of z per cent in Colorado
fuel was one Of the features of the trad
ing in the industrial shares and the steady
buying Of Tennessee Coal also attracted
attention.
While the railroad list seemed to drag
throughout the morning and evidences of
support were lacking at times the after
noon showed a duplication of the recent
tactics Of bringing some one stock into
renewed prominence Burlington was again
selected and was made to sell up to Iso
the high price originally predicted for II
should the deal go through,
The buying was liberal In volume and
later on had a marked influence on all the
properties supposed to be interested In the
deal. The feeling around the room seems
to be that Northern Pacific has not profited
as much. relatively, as Burlington, and
that the interest should shift to the
cheaper issue. Erie seemed heavy all the
morning, but rallied with Burlington later
dividend on Erie First Preferred may be
announced at any time, and even the Sec
ond Preferred is approaching similar dis
tinction.
The Atchison dividend is likely to be de-
clared during the present month, the rate
being doubtful. but probably 1Ia per cent.
The Southwestern issues showed signs of
new buying, and a few of them made
sharp gains. Texas Pacific was well
bought, and Missouri, Kansas and Texas
showed a ready market at higher prices
Inc last hour was the most active and
buoyam OF the day. The buying was more
confident and rumors OF deals were numer-
Gus.
The triple holiday at the end OF the week
may cause realizing. but this prospect will
disappear should money remain easy. The
call rate at per cent suggests an advanc-
ing tendency.
