WARREN. WEDNESDAY. Get. p
Ohio Election.


The precise majority for Chase is not
yet asceitained, but there is little o. no
doubt of his election. The whole Re-
publican State Ticket, with the excep-
ton of Blickensderfer Candidate for
Board of Public Works is also proba-
bly, elected. The latest news is the fol-
lowing dispatch 10 the Cleveland Leader.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.
F~orty-eight counties official, with re-
ported majorities from the rest. give
Chase 1.9l7 majority. All the Rcpub-
lean State ticket except Blickensderfer
for Board of Public Works, elected
Legislature two thirds Democratic.
The legislature is Democratic, proba-
bly, in both branches. certainly in the
lower House.
We are perfectly satisfied with the re-
suit. No party ever fought against such
odds and conquered, as have the Repub-
licans of Ohio in this campaign
Against them were arrayed the psuedo
Democratic party, backed up by the
whole influence of the National Execu
tive. guiding and directing all the
Government officers, and Post Masters
Of the State. To these were joined all
the Catholics, and strange to tell, side BY
side with the latter, cheek by jowl, was
found the last forlorn hope of the Know
Nolhings- Besides these, the unscrupu-
-lous stumpers and papers of the quasi
Democracy had by dint Of most auda-
cious falsehoods made some ignorat
dupes believe that the theft of their de
;faulter, the fugitive Breslin. was charg-
able upon the Republicans. Even the
money panic. which has shaken the
whole United States from Maine to Flor
ida, was charged upon Gov. Chase and
the Republicans Of Ohio.
Added to all these was the supineness
of the Republicans themselves. Many
of the business men excited by the mon
.lary panic, would not so TO The polls.
But notwithstanding, Gov. Chase and
nearly the whole State Ticket is elected.
AS for the Legislature, the Slaveoc-
-racy are welcome to it. Now We shall
see whether the Independent Treasury
scheme viii be carried out, and the ha-
'beus corpus law repealed as they have
promised. There Is now a fine oppor.
tRnity for these boosted financial reform

carry out their theories to the fullest *
e We hope they viii have the cour-
age TO do it; and if they only ,cN, il
needs neither a prophet, nor The son Of
a prophet TO predict that the dear PEG
pie will be SO well satisfied with the leg
~islation that they viii decline all future
specimens OF the same kind for the mex.
-quar:er of a century.
Then there are The defaulteIs to pun
ish. Gov. Payne promised if he was
elected, every ore Of them should be il
The Peniientiary in a week. We sup
pose a-Democratic Legislature will do as
well as a Democratic Governor. There
is sglorious chance now. Pitch in gen
tlemen, before your ardor cools. Bring
back Breslin. shave his heal, and dress
him in striped ie~gimentals as soon as
possible. We are waiting.
The returns received indicate that
some OF the Constitutional Amendments
have been adopted-Annual Sessions
and Change of District Courts certainly,
and probably, also. Single Districts
Equal Taxation probably lost. Corpo
%ralions certainly; and the vote for The
Bank Garter less even than two years
ago.
