The Republicans enjoyed themselves immensely last nij ht. They were out with tin horns, and at half past nine o'clock got the Ringgold band and marched down to Capt. Reicherl's house, on south Seventh, where he was called on few a speech. Speeches were a'so made by Messrs. A. M. Hardy and Dick T. Morgan. The crowd then marched up to Fifth street where the band serenaded the Republican newspaper offices and loud calls were made for Collector Carter. The crowd dispersed about half put •leven.

Ohio.
S THB ELECTION AT CINCINNATI. CINCINNATI, April 7.—Tbe election today was devoid of interest and tbe vote was light. Tbe principal officers to be elected were judge of the Superior Court, clerk of the Police Court, member of the Board of Public Works, director of the Infirmary and member* of Council and Board of Education. Beside the Repub lican and Democatic, a municipal reform ticket was nominated. It received a comparatively small vote. One-third of the city has been beard from at midnight, and shows a net Republican gain of 150, the comparison being made wita one year ago, when tbe Democratic candidate for Board of Public Works bad 24ft maj u-ity.
AT DAYTON.
DAYTON, C)., April 7.—Midnight.—The returns are meager, but enough has been received to indicate tbe election of tbe entire Democratic ticket by majorities ranging froip 200 to 300. It is thought the CtodiSfi wifrbe a tie, and the School Board Republican. Betteton, Democrat, for Mayor, iseleoted. This is attributed, to the lack of campaign funds and tbe apathy of tne Republican party. Miamisburg elected a Republican Mayor and Council.
THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET ELECTED. CINCINNATI, April 8.—Returns from 57 of the 61 voting places in the city show the election of tbe entire Democratic ticket, with tbe exception of Clerk of the police court by a majority of from four to eight hundred. Richards, Republican, for Clerk of tbe police court, will have about three hundred majority. The Municipal Reform ticket roiled ibout eight hundred votes.
TULLER RETURN*
CINCINNATI, April 8.—Returns from Cincinnati at noon are not all reported, but enough is known to show that the total vote was about 40,000. For police clerk, Richards' majority will be from four to seven hundred, and possibly the Republicans elect one member of the Board of Education. The returns show very large Republican gains in the German wards. Compared with a year ago the change is enormous. There was a general lack of interest among the leaders of the parties and the vote shows more spontaneous action than is usual in such elections. The only active workers were the candidates tor police court.
The noaiinstion of the Municipal Reform ticket, though nominally the work of both parties, is generally understood to have drawn most ol its votes from the Republicans. If it had not been before the people the result would have been less favorable to the Democrats. Througbout the state tbe reports show the Republicms gain in most of the larger cities. Springfield, Ohio, Shows considerable of a Democratic gain. The reports are generally silentupon the Bubject of gain or loss, as the local issues influenced the vote in most places.
The Enquirer, Democratic, ol this city, says "The organization which has prevailed in tbe party of Hamilton county for something like a year past, has again won without the aid of the Legislature, in spite of the failure of the Legislature to do anything necessary to allay the German dissatisfaction and retain the German vote, which came from the Republicans last yeai."
CINCINNATI, April 8.—The Democrats elect 12 of the 26 councilman, a Republican gain of four. The board of aldermen is strongly Democratic and there is a strong Democratic majority in the common council. Hie falling of nearly 10,000 in the vote seems to have mostly hurt the Democrats.
ABOUT BVKN.
CINCINNATI, April 8.—Reports from ths small towns throughout Ohio say tfce elections yesterday turned mostly on local issues. The gains and losses were about
equal between Democrats and Republicans. THE RESULT AT DATTOH i)AYTON,
ter
April 8.—The last returns
show that the Republicans elect Barbour, market master, and Peters, water work's trustee by a small majority. The council is a tie, 9 to 9, while the board of education is Democratic two. The remander of the Democratic city ticket is elected by reduced majorities.
AT CLEVELAND.
CLEVELAND, April 8.—The Republican oity tfoket was elected with an average majority of 3,100. The Republicans elect 21 oouncilmen ana 12 members of the Board, of Education. The Democrats elect 11 councilmen and seven members of the board. The city couucil is a tie, 14* Democrats and four Republicans holding over. At least two Democratic candidates for council will contest. J. P. Urban, Republican eandidate for police commissioner, carried 17 of tbe 25 wards and has a majority of 3,459. John H. Farley, the Democratic mayor holding over, was elected last spring by 3,600 majority. The city has been redistricted within a year, making 25 wards out of 18. Tbe working men's ticket polled 500. The total vote was 26,500.

The Richmond Election.
RICHMOND, lnd., April 9.—The township election passed off Tery quietly here Smith, Democrat, the present incumbent, and a candidate for re-election, was defeated by Elliott, Republican, by about 1C0 majority. This townsbip is usually good for 500 Republican majority and Smith is the only Democrat wbo was ever elected to the office. This time the political pressure was too strong for him. In one precinct the inspector locked the ballot box and took the key away with him to Terre Haute, this giving rise to a question as to tbe legality of the vote. Some trouble is apprehended in the mat-
The Victory at Evansville EVANSVILLE, April' 9.—In, addition to electing their entire townsbip ticket the Democrats elected four councilmen out of the six. The old council stood: Democrats, 8 Republicans, 4. The new council will stand: Democrats, 9 Republicans 3.

Oi leans Township, Orsnge county, lnd., elected a Democratic Trustee last Monday tor the first timejn thirty years.
Democratic Success at Kansas City. KANSAS Cm, Mo., April 8.—A large vote was polled at tbe city election. Incomplete returns at midnight indicate the election of Talbot, Democrat, over Hunt, Republican, for Mayor. There are probably three Democratic aldermen elected out of six, making the council five Republicans and seven Democrats.
LATER PARTICULARS.
KANSAS CITY, April 9.—Returns at 2 A. M. accord with the previous estimate. Talbot tor Mayor has a majority of over 600 and West, Republican, for Audito", has about 200 majority. The Democrats elect councilmen in the first, second and fourth wards and the Republicans in the third, fifth and probably the sixth. Tbe estimates give the remainder of the city ticket to the Democrats, except the auditoi, which is Republican.
fe Returns From Cincinnati: CINCINNATI, Ayril 9.—Unofficial returns are in from all precincts but one, and an estimate from that gives the following pluralities: Peck, Dem., Superior Court, 409 Herron, Dem., Board of Public Works, 426 Richards, Rep., clerk Police Court, 1,229 Herman, Dem., directory infirmatory, 121 Cronio, Dem wbarf-msstes, 489. Four Democratic members of the Board of Education are eleoted, one with a majority of only twelve votes. In the Fourth alderman is district three Democrats are elected, two Republicans, and for the sixth place there is a tie between two Republicans. The Common Council will stand: Alderman, Democcats, 27, Republicans, 3 councilmen, Democrats, 20, Republicans, 30 joint ballot, Democrats, 47, Republicans, 98. The peculiarity in ihe vote of the
Sixth ward gives rise to* suggestions of" a contest. While the total Tote everywhere else is 25 per cent, less than last fall, this ward polls 46 yotes more than"lt.( did then. Homily had a majority ol 8ff now tne Democratic majority ia 9il.. There is also a complaint of irregularity in regard to this wara and in the Twelfth ward.
Now it Wat.
The GAZETTE says the Democratic victory in Fayette ia all the mere brilliant on account of a combination be--tween tbe Republicans and Nationalst Let's see. Tbe GAZETTE in the same column gives the vote on trustee as fellows: New Goshen—W. T. Pittenger, R., 125 L. D. Scott, D., 120 W. •. Robinson,. N., 24. 8andford—W. T. Pit-.: tenger, R., 75 L. D. Scott, D., 10S W. 1. Robinson, N., 5. if there had been a combination on trustee as the GAZETTE! says there was between the Republicana and Nationals it was one of tbe queerest^ combinations on record.—[Express.
There was such a combination and 1. will bardly be denied in Fayette town~ ship, where it was generally understood some days before the election. The reason that it was not successful was because there were enough Nationals i« the party who refused to be .bound aad sold by their leaders into the Republican camp, and tbe result was that the. Republican—N ational bargain proved at sad failure. Fayette was one of threetownsbips (Sugar Creek and Otter Creek* being the other two) where Republic can aid from tbe city was summoned fer the purpose of makine success certain. In Sugar Creek the Democrats had te contend against what seemed to be an unlimited supply ef money» In Fayette a campaign ot lies was made on Mr. Scott, the Democratic trustee who wast: a candidate for re-election, and not onlymoney was sent out from town but tbe4s Republican papere of the city were oalled into tbe tight to publieh attack* on bim. One paper alone published a column at one time and copiee of the paper were treely distributed throughout the township. )n Otter Creek a delegation of city Republicans was found organizing Republican clubs and work*i ingon Republicans wbo were understood as going to vote for Dr. Watkins, the Democratic candidate for trustee. The result of that kind of warfare was that in Sugar Creek the Democrat* triumphed by a majority ef 56 over their1 opponents and the money and in Fayette they re-elected Mr. Soott Trustee by a handsome majority ever the combination and Ilea. Otter Creek alone of the three elected a Republican trustee, and Otter Creek is debatable ground at any time, with the ehanees in favor of the Republic cans.

Inhuman Treatment ef Children at the Lagrange Nome, Near Chicago, by a Miss Schoek.
HiCAflo,
April 9.—Miss Anna Schoek,
arrested two monthe ago at the instance of the Humane Society, is on trial in the Criminal Court for alleged oruelty to children under her eharge in the Heme, at Lagrange, near thie oity. The inmates numbered about twenty, and ranged from six to fourteen yeare of aae. A number were left at the Home by indigent parents, and the remainder wesc orphane. The Home was supported largely by public subscription". The proseeution offered the testimony of the attending physician and former employes, which tended to ehow that tke children were almost totally uneared for that the Home wae horribly fllthy^ and the basement, where the-children were compelled to pass the greater portion of tbe day, was also used as a stable for a cow. One witness declared that the prevalent diet fer tbe children was mush and potatoes, and that their beds were soiled and wet. It was contended by other witnesses that the:' health of some of the children had beeK utterly .broken while they were inmates' here."'

The proeecuting attorney then offerred him #6,000, full pardon from the Governor and a ticket to Liverpool if he would tell the name ol the murderers. This he refused to do. The committee departed satisfied that "Scotty" was lying from beginning to end.
