Tho annual election 10 Ohio, having
gust passed. we take the earliest oppor-
tuDity 10 communicate TO our friends the
suspicious result. The Wings Of this
State weniinio The canvass, horne down
bv the accumulated wrongs OF local le-
RislaIion. and the effects Of disagree
ments on national politics, too strong tc
be overcome by mere party attachments
They hsd only deep regard for prin-
ciples 10 cheer them on; and the result
30 far as the popular voice could be
heard, has been IrIumph-G glorious
spictory!'
-Ifthe result OF the election does not
exhibit the Wings Of Ohio in all the
strength Of 1840, enough has been done
10 show that the pINgue Of free trade
and ts-kindred evils, have been stayed ;
and that the crisis which is approaching
in IA will be nobly met and triumph
antly passed.
The Gerrymander,ng Of the State in
1910 for me mbers Of the General As

strength Of the party can never be made

But there are circumstances attending
This election which are encouraging -
The bad legislation Of the last few years,
has awakened a spirit Of inquiry among
ou. opponents, and we are proud 10 ac-
knowledge that in many instances men
have risen superior TO the lrammels OF
party, and con!ended manfUlly for prin-
'CipIes and for the rights Of the people.

US 10 believe that on all great questions
which divide the two parties they will
act with the Wings. Under this expec,

This result is sufficient IN arrest the
march Of corruption. The diGeren,

we may add, from the signs Of the times
both In our own Slate and among the
sisters who have recently held their
elections, favorable uugury may be
drawn, promising nothing less than the
election Of tho Wing nominee for the
Presidency in 1914. AtaII ovenls, in
