OHIO.
year.

The democracy Of Ohio is safe-Shau-
non is elected Governor, and the demo-
Gratis have majority in both branches Of
the legislature. AS we rema rked last week
the result in Ohio exhibits one Of the most
extraordinary party revolutions which has
taken place in the west. 1t will not be
pretended that this great chang has taken
place 10 consequence Of supineness or in
activity on the part Of the wings; never
were greater cxertions made 10 achieve
political victory. The extraordinary gath
ering at Dayton, at which the number o.:
wings assembledsin council. has been va
riously estimated from $4,000 to 100000,
was but a part Of the vast effort made TO
arouse the people. and bring the entire
strength Of the party into the field. Gov.
Corwin who is represented as an admira-
ble stump speaker, travcrscd the State in
all directions for the purpose Of exciting
the party to renewed and increased exrr-
ton. Henry Clay's influence auu ;u'v";s
were also brought into requisi,on-in pr
son he stood before the vast assemblagc at
Dayton, and his eloquent appeals were
heard IN behalf of the wings of Ohio, and
ia behslf Of the great wing cause in the
Union. 1t was rumoured loo that the re-
suit Of the contest in Ohio and New York,
would decide whether Mr.. Clay would suf-
fer his name to be used as candidate for
the next Presidency. With all these ex-
citelnents to action. and still flushed with
the victories Of 1910 the wings Of Ohio
went iato the contest on the second tuesday
in October. Yet with all these seeming
advantages on the part Of the wings, the
democracy of Ohio has tranphcd. Aad
to what cause is the success Of the demo-
cratic party to be attributed, except to the
sober judgment of the people. 1t is evil
dent the rejecting part Of the pc pie had
become wearied and disguised with exhi-
billions Of coon-skins, log cabins, bachana-
lien riot, and song singing: these appeals
to passion which were SO successful in
1910, had lost their tallsmanc influence
popular gatherings and unmeanng devices
failed TO divert reason from its proper
channel.
Official returns from all the counties IN
Ohio have not yet been had. Shannon's
majority for Governor over Corwin, will
be from 5000 to 5000. The Legislature as
far as heard from according to the New
York Tribune, stands as follows :-Senate
2l democrats and 8 wings. House Of
Representatives 40 democrats and "a
wings.

a fair specimen Of these we give the fol-

LEAD TRADE.

The Lead Trade is destined TO become
business Of much importance TO the Ter

the lead trade-,he stability of the market
for this commodity, and the fact that it is
not subject TO sudden fluctuations, as are
agricultural productions, renders it bust
ness upon which calculations may be based
upon with much certainty. 1; is scarcely
