GLORY ENOUGH, IF WE CAN'T Do

From present indications, we have the
pleasure OF announcing to our readers that
&c Democracy of this State have carried
The House of Representatives b. a hand
some majority, and we believe we shall
Rave a majority Of one or two in the Sem
ate.
This is one of the most brilliant political
victories on record. 1t is a sure index OF
tie roptSa-~-ontiment in regard to Black
Rcpuh!icanism. After two winters of leg
]ialaif32, with Il whole power Of both
branches completely in their hands, that
party succeeded il disgusting the people Of
Ohio, and they Succeeded in nothing eise.
The result of the legislative election is the
verdict Of the people upon the State policy
Of the Republican party. It is a Just iudc-
ment. They had not been in session twon-
ty days, until they had demonstrated their
utter incompctency for the p~lainest duties
the people had imposed upon them. The
Democrats in the coming Legislature will
appreciate the errors Of their predecessors,
and know how to avoid them.
Our success in carrying this department
of the State Government is a proud tribute
to the Legislative history of the party, and
is glory enough, if it should turn out that

'7ithstanding the efforts that have been

aware that there has really existed as little
danger that he would compromise his posi-
ton in the great Democratic fasty in the

In 1884 Mr.. Biddle was hagitiously en-
deayoring to force Congress to grant him a
charter, through the distress he had in his
power to inllict on the country. In March
of that year a committee of the merchants
and bankers of New York informed him
that unless he changed his course, and
would agree to their terms, which were that
the United States Bank should cease to
call Or the other banks for thirty days, his
course would be denounced at the adjourn
cd meeting of the Exchange.
Mr.. Biddle, az tue. last moment, agreed
to their terms, in consequence of which tho
country waa Immediately relieYGd. But
Mr.. Bidlle was recklosa-wi.oa the thirty
days expired, without the slightest nocessi-
ty, to cali {or'these blansts, and give tho
screw another TURF,
This pr'"aoed an intense and unoxpec-
tea niessure, for it was the New York un-
derstanding that Mr. Biddle should not
again press them without some show of ne
cessity. This pressure he continued until
the adjournment of Congress in July, when
he gave up the chase, and soon after *
tended the loans cftLo bank from A. to. 70
millions.
There was nothing IN the pressure to be
comparod2in severity to the present. 1t
was wholly owing to the unprineipled ao-
ton Of Mr.. Biddle.
