All this com plicated the situation and the republicans wcro prepared for Fornker's election by a plurality of 10.000 or his defeat by a plural ity not qulto so large , pcriiaps. The whisky question cut no small flgure tn the content. The impression prevailed that the brewers , distillers and dealers gen erally were democrats this autumn nnd many members of the democratic party In favor of restricting the liquor trnfllc were nulto content to vote the republican ticket and to thus defeat the supposed pur poses of those niou who seek to amend the present liquor laws. Here asnin was another complication nud there was indeed "no logic of tlio situa tion. " It was a plain case of unfathomable uncertainty. At 12)0 : ! ) the republicans feel positive of having the legislature , which if true moans a republican United States senator Instead of Henry B. I'a.yno.

The election hero was ono of the most quiet over cxucricnccd in the city. Tbo uolls did not close until 0 p. m. Chairman Neal , of the democratic stnto nxccutlvo committee , claims Campbell's election by from 6.000 to 10.000 plurality. As to the legislature ho is in doubt. Ho thinks , however , it may bo democratic on joint ballot. The entire legislative ticket in Hamilton is claimed by the democrats , and gains elsewhere. Ex-Chairman Coppeller , 'feels confident that Forukor is elected. Ho does not con cede Hamilton to thejdomocrats by more than 4.000 votes , und says the democratic gains elsewhere in ttio state must average tlvo and one-half votes to elect Campbell. Ho is sure the republicans will gain in the country dis tricts. The republicans claim they bavo the legislature surely. liliOu. m. Later returns seem to assure the republicans u majority of the legislature on Joint ballot. The republican state central committee has Issued the following : "Tho republican state executive committee claims the election of the legislature- and ctuto ticket except Governor Foraker , who is in doubt. If the republican counties in the Western Reserve nnd other paits of the state hold up to expectations Forukcr will pull through by a small majority. " IN MASSACHUSETTS.

In this city the voting places presented a rcinnrKably quiet appearance. The voting proceeded with dispatch ana the voters en joyed u freedom from the Importunities of the ballot distributors never known before. There was some slight friction i-aused by a conflict of opinion regarding the duties of precinct and other ofllcurs , but it was insig nificant , and made but little trouble. With rozard to the ballots themselves , thcro was little or no complaint. From all over the state the reports indicate a very quiet election and a light voto. The returns como In slowly. There is probably not the slightest doubt that the republican candidate for governor ia elected by a good majority. Sixty towns outside Boston give Bracket 8.603 , Russell 4.0T8.

BANK CIRCULATION PROBLEM A Bollof Thnt Congress Will Comate to the Rosouo. WINDOM'S POSITION NOT KNOWN. .

National banks having 4j per cent bonda deposited with the United Suited treasurer , to secure circulation xvould do xvcll to wait at least u few months before changing thoiu , to 4 per cents. This is the tulvico of the treasury olllclals. The impression obtains in the department that congress xvill take some notion to re- Hnvo the stress upon the national banks duo to thu near approach of maturity of the 4) per cents. It Is true that they become duo In twenty months ; that their premium for that reason is fust diminishing , but there are reasons for believing that the premium ot the 4s ivlll depreciate quito ns rapidly , so thai thcro can bo only the risk In xvnlllnij that there may bo Hi a "corner" on the 4s not already In the hands of the banks. It ia not knoxvn yet what recommendations Secre tary Windoui xvill malto in his annual report relative to national bank circulation. It is not a party , but n business proposi tion , nnd not a theory but u condition that confronts him. The bulk of the -IK per cent bonds are noxv , deposited in thu vaults of the treasury to sccuro bunk circulation. They fall duo September , IbOl , uiul unmo- thing must bo done to glvo the banks niiolhor b.xsls for circulation , otherxvtso tlio exlstenco of the circulation of n great many banks xvill bo wiped out iu loss than txvo years. A stringency xvill folloxv in the money market and n < panic ensue xvhich xvill very materially ufTuct the best Interests ot the country. The secretary la very anxious not to disturb the present circulating modlum , but In this re spect nnd to this extent ho is compelled to net. net.It xvill bo recalled that Comptroller Tron- helm , at the convening of the last congress , suggested three or four remedies for the troubles xvhiuh nro noxv very ncjir the na tional banks. Ho first recommended the Issuance of n 2 pur cent bond to run say 100 years , the national hanks to liavo the pre ference In thu purchase , the Intention of the Issue being to glvo another and bettor basis for national bank circulation. If this should not bo accepted ho thought n reduc tion of Uio minimum of Uio deposit to secure circulation , the proper llilnir. At present a bank must deposit 25 per cent of its capital stock und Uike out circulation on that basis. For Instance a bank xvl'.h $100,000 capital must buy ? - . " > , OUO xvorth of bonds , bonds to thu par value of . ' 5COO , nud deposit them with the treasurer to secure circulation. But the bank docs not get that amount of circulating notes , although it must pay n pro- ' ' .nlum of about 28 per cent to get Uio bonds. It gets bank notes aggregating 00 to rep resent this Investment of $3J,000 Jn bonds ; n decrease in the deal amounting to nlnfost $10,000. Comptroller Tronholin thought in , the event the loxv priced bond uroposltlon failed that this minimum of deposit might. . bo reduced from 25 per cent of the capital stock of a bank to suy 2 or 5 per cent. Ho held that since the object In mailing the deposits and taking out circulation xvns sim ply to niako a connection botxvceli private- In terests nnd the federal government , it xvould do Just as xx'cll to deposit $1,000 as f . ' 5,000. In any event ho thought a bank , especially la view of the fact that bonds nro at. a high premium nnd the covornment never depre ciates its own obligation * , should bo given circulating notes to the full par value of the bonds deposited to secure circulation. The house committee on banking nnd currency put a bill of this character on the calender , nud it would -have passed both houses or congress hud u day been given to it. It 1 boliox-cd that Secretary Windoui xvill recom mend ono or more of these suggestions ana congress xvill take action. In any event It IS given us the best advice attainable at the treasury department that national banks , liavinir 4J4 per cent bonds deposited would do xvell tovait awhile before making any move. MAHONK'a MANIEUVIIIS Virginia's unreconstructed confederates are drunk on xvhisky and Joy to-night. They have provenied General Mahono's election as governor , and in the phraseology of the rebel yell , the commonwealth is safe. 1 linro is a barn probability , however , that the republicans have elected a majority of the legislature. Thobnurbms have not yet arrived nt the fact knoxvn bv General Ma hono's Irlcnds for some time , that moro thuti txvo xvceks ago ho abandoned I is light , for tbo governorship and directed his efforts toxvard tlio legislature.

Wnlto men xvero allowed to vote as soon as liiey uppearcd , but the colored men , thousands of them , xvho went Into line last night and Mood there till 11 vo minutes after 5 tills evening did not roach the ballot boxos.
