Delaware weekly Republican. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1841-188?, 1857-10-29


ONO AND HER PoLTlos.-The Buckeye State /
is very changeable in its politics. In 1888 |
Shannon, Democrat, unsolicited Governor by |
a large majority. In 1910, Corwin, Wing was
chosen to succeed him by rs 900 majority over |
Shannon but In 1912 Shannonwas again elect |
cd Governor by heavy vote. 1n 1874 the
wings wero again in power, aud elected Bartlett
Governor. In 1916 the Democrats took theiF
turn aud elected Bubb, Democrat Governor.
In l8i6 the Wings elected Ford Governor
over John d. Weller, Democrat. In 1850,
Wood, Democrat, was chosen Governor. The
disasterous campaign Of 1852 swamped the
whig party every where, and IL was not until
the sudden and mysterious rise of the Know
Nothings, combined with the great revnlsion
caused by the repeal ofthe Missouri Compro-
mise act gave the opposition q chance that
the Democrats were again defeated In Ohio.
This was In 1854, when the whole State gave
tremendous majority against tho admins
tration. Next year came reaction, winch
has been gaining ground ever since, until III
the late contest, the democrats elected a ma
iority in both houses OF the Legislature, ana
chose one Of the State officers. The TACT Is
that Ohio is by no means 80 largely anti-slave-
ry as is generally supposed. The southern
| cennties are heavily the other way. Since
| the republican party became seperate aud dis
| tinct from the Americans their preponderance
| has b,en very doubtful. At the Presidential
election the vote stood;-Frcmont ls1 ,4S'j'
| Buchanan l70,9l7; Fillmore 70, l2o, thus show
ing the Republicans TO be in the minority oil
| IL 1903. AT the late contest they have succeed
| ed on their State ticket by about 1000 majority,
while the American ticket polls some 10000
| votes. IL is clear that the more the coalition
| between the Americans aud Democrats eX
tends, the greater becomes the likelihood OF
an utter defeat of the Republicans.
