Ohio Republican Alnioriries in 1859.


The State journal of the 4lh publishes afull
table of the vote of Ohio at the recent State
elections, and the footings with the majority
for each candidate 1t will be seen that the
average Republican majority on the State
ticket is $4,000. The Journal also publishes a
table of the vote and majorities given for
members of tho Legislature. and says
The nett aggregate Republican majority af er
deducting the aggregate mejoritles Of the
Democratic members elected is II ,5S6. These
latter figures are a fairer test of the real
strength of the Republicans in Ohio than the
vote tor the State ticket. The latter was con-
sldered sale in any event, and as IL was of the
highest importance to secure the Legislature
in view of the fact thLt an United States
Senator is to be chosen by it, the efforts Of
Republicans were more especially directed
towards their Legislative tickets, and the
State ticket suffered falling off in cOnse-
quenee
Taking advantage of this, the Democrats
Ilayed-as they suppOsed-a shrewd game 10
many counties, tradlug off their county candI'
dates for votes for their State ticket, Ihe re
suit is that the Republicans elected their entir,
local ticket in several Democratic counties
which gave as usual, majorities for the Demo
cratic State ticket.
The total vote Is large one, 355, 76s, being

VERMONT ELECTIoN.-As we anticipated
and We presume everybody else-the Green
Mountain State has renewedly proclaimed its
devotion to Republican principles. The re-
suit Of the recent election has been a com
plete victory in all its aspects; and could not
have been more searching without looking
positively cruel. All the Democratic mem
bers Of the Legislature can be put on a single
committeeman on Elections" for in
stance. But let US not do injustice to rhe
Democratic .sandard-bearer Of this had
fought field. In % towns, John G.. SAKE
reduces Gov. Halls majority, as compared
with that of last year, just three uotes. That
m of selecting a popular candidate. An
ordinary Democratic nobody would have lost
those three votes-which were probably cast
by some individuals that have a laudable
desire to encourage native genius. The re-
suit ought to be a new comic poem from Mr..
SAKE, and the candid admission from our
friends Of the Post that Vermont has at
length done something worthy Of praise since
1915.
But seriously, this victory, however much
a matter of course, comes s~easOnably. 1t
vindicates the freedom of Vermont from the
possibility of being charged with indifference
10 their inherited principles, and it sets a
noble example to the people of other States.
We trust and expect that Maine will follow
1t next Monday, and surpass it., if possible.
Then may these u%tterances of New Engla nd
pass on to the Empire State, to Ohio, and the
Great West, everywhere giving Indictment
and the assurances of triumph.
