The waterworks company has a valuable franchise which gives it practically a monopoly of the water supply for this city for twenty years, with ten chances to ono that it will he perpet ual. ‘This privilege docs not, howeye convey to it the ownership of streets, If, it claims, the city were responsible for the expense incurred in lowering or raising their water mains whenever the grade of a street changed,the eity cou a grade without their other words, the waterworks comps: would occupy the sume relations to the city with regard to change of grade as those which are recognized in Inw as existing between the eity and the owners of property adjucent to the streets.

The figures of republican victory were still rolling up into the tens of thonsands, at last re ports. BEvery section of the state shows v republican gains. The Woestern ve piled upan old time majority. Hamilton county, that bloody battleticld of many wceampaign, joined the proces- n in opposition to MeLean and his ngz of spoilsmen, and Cleveland swung into line with 5,000 majority for Foraker and his ticket. The party at large, while in the enthusiasm which is Ohio to.day, will receive the news of the result with quiet content, not less on ne- count of its future promise than for its present achicvement. The republican party has evidently not yet dishanded in the Buckeye state. Its past campaign was splendidly waged, under close or- ganization, To this, joined to the un- natural allinnee of the democracy with the prohibitionists, disgust at MeLean's openly corrupt political methods, vi ilant supervision of the registration and watchful caro at ths polls, is due the splendid victory of the Ohio republicans, Factional diflerences were settled, the old party wheel horses joined with the younger accessions to the republican ranks in presenting a solid and invinei- | ble front.
