 His Position.

New York, Jan 31.-The New York Commercial announces to-day that Charles NJ. Schwab, according to trustworthy reports" recently cabled from Monte Carlo to J. Pierpont Mor- gan an offer to resign the presidency of the United States Steel corpora ton, providing MT Morgan and his as- sociates deemed it expedient or neces- sary.

 'The effort to bring the case before the United States supreme court, 7 said MT Lamb, twill, I am sure, be thrown out, because that body has no jurisdiction in the case. In my opin- ion, it will have to be fought out in the state courts"

 Church for Attorney.

Church for Attorney.
 The Merchants association has changed it's name to Business Mems association and it's directors, at meet ing held last evening, voted to appoint Attorney U. G. Church clerk and attor- ney for the year. They also voted to take up for public agitation some mat ters of local importance. One of them is that the city shall insure it's own property. To bring about a successful conclusion of such an agitation it would be necessary to invoke legisla- tive action. The amount paid out by the city each year for insurance on its buildings and other property is enor- nous. There are about eighteen pub, lie schools, none of which cost less than $1S,000 and some of them as high as S3O,000; half dozen engine houses, With apparatus in each; the street cleaning paraphernalia and the yards and buildings occupied by it; the City hall, the almShouse and the Bronson library and their contents.

Omaha, Neb, Jan 31.--A general or der was issued January l by the Bur lington railroad that all rolling stock of the Great Northern road should be treated as Burlington cars and so re- ported.

GROVER CLEVELAND.
A Greater Democrat Than Jackson,
 Says Bishop Potter Seriously.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan 31.-In lec- ture on "Altruism in Government last night, Bishop Henry C. Potter of New York said President Andrew Jackson struck a note in connection with this subject that was one of the most mischievous in Ame sican history, 'sTo the yictors belong the spells"
 '.The lesson that we find so hard to learn,'' continued Bishop Potter, "is that office is not spoil, and that Jack son insulted the American conception of facts to describe it as a spoil.
 Ut was left to a greater democrat, I venture to say, to redeem his party and enunciate the truth, for when Grover Cleveland said. Public office is 2 public trust he stated truth which underlies the whole business" |"
 This remark of the lecturer was re- ceiYed with great applause.

OHIO

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 4.-The republicans
carried Ohio by next to their highest plu-
rality on record. Nothing above 10000 had
been predicted, but partial returns indi-
cate that it will greatly exceed those
figures. At the same time the republicans.
on returns up to midnight, made no gain
in Ohio congressman and are likely to lose
one. The present Ohio delegation in con-
gress consists Of seventeen republicans and
four democrats, and the returns show six
teen republicans and four democrats
elected, with the Twelfth district in doub:.
The present ap~portionment Of Ohio con-
gressional districts was made by a repub-
lican legislature. with fourteen republican,
four democratic and three doubtful dis
tricts. Two years ago the republicans car
ried all the doubtful districts by close
pluralities, and this year they increased
their pluralities in the republican and two
Of the doubtful districts and reduced the
pluralities OF the democratic districts with
out gaining any congressman and probably
losing the close Twelfth district. At the
last session Of the republican legislature
only one congressional district, the Twelfth,
was changed, and 1t has probably been
carried by the democrats.
At midnight Chairman Dick said: Re-
turns to this hour do not change our esti-
mate of 100, 900 republican plurality. We
have carried all districts now represented
In congress by republicans, with the posi-
BILE exception Of the Twelfth, and in its
place we have probably carried the Thlr-
teenth district"

tho democratic candidate, by 35439 plu-
rality, the vote being: Bates (rep.), 1885,
961; CASTOR (dem.), 15S.4S2.
The republicans. after a vigorous cam
paign, carried the state by a substantial
plurality in a majority Of the congressional
districts, in seven out Of the eight coun-
cilor districts and retaining q hrm con-
troll OF both branches Of the legislature.
The state officers elected we're as follows:
Governor, ohm l.. Bates, Boston; lieu
tenant governor, Curtis Guild, jr., Boston;
secretary Of state, William NJ. Olin, Bos-
ton; treasurer. Edward 8. Bradford, SPRING
field; auditor, Henry B. Turner, Maiden;

In FIVE of the congressional districts the
fight was very warm. although in the Ninth
1t was confined to two democratic candi-
dates. The result. in the Sixth, Ninth and

first time in the history Of the state more
than 100000 votes were cast in an cleo
tion. Samuel w. P~ennypacker (rep.) was
elected governor by an estimated plurality
of 175, 900 and the republican ticket was
generally successful In the various coun-
ties.
The democrats elected two and possibly
three OF the thirty-two congressman.
The legislature will be more strongly re-
publican than ever before with the excep-

KANSAS

TOPEKA. Aug. A-Kansas has gone re-
publican by at least $1,000 majority. The
entire state ticket and congress are elected.
The republicans will have 100 members OF
the legislature.
The democrats did not expect 10 elect
their state ticket, but we're surprised that
w. II. Craddock. their candidate for gov
ernor, did not run better than he did. W,
J. Baily, the republican candidate for gov
ernor. runs ahead OF his ticket.
A great fight was made on T. r. Kelly
republican candidate for treasurer, but he
gained enough from the democrats to more
than offset any disaffection in the repub-
lican ranks.
The democrats devoted most OF their at
tentlon to the legislature. In a few coun-
ties they made gains, but the republican
majority will be about the same as last
year.
Returns from oyer the state show that
the republican county officers were gem
orally elected. II was the most complete
republican victory since the days before
populism.
The state democratic committee comedies
the republican claims in everything except
the legislature.
