Result or the risstLoa.
STATE UNION ExEcuriTR Cow.
BOWS, CoLuMBus, Oct, 20. 1875.

ries rs to the result Of the late election,
take this public method Of stating that
although full official returns have not
yet been received, and little is known
us to the vote of the soldiers yet in ser-
wee, enough is known to enable us to
annonnce the following results. The
entire Union State ticket is elected BY
q majority ranging from 5000 TO 3b,i
900, without the soldiers vote, giving
us Union Governor, Lieut. Governor,
Trc tsurer ofStatc, two Supreme Judges,
Attorney General, School Commits
sioncr, member Of the Board Of Public
Works and clerk Of Supreme Court.
The Legislature stands rs follows
| Of the 81 members of the Senate 25
are Union, and Of the los members of
the House 68 are Union. and we con-
fidentIy expect the election OF at least
two more by the soldiers vote, making
40 Union men in the House, thus Civ
| ing us two-thirds in each branch, and
a majority on Joint ballot of 48.
p Wearc confident that foi these good
results we are in no small measure in
debted to the wise and judicious plat
form adopted by. the Union State Con
irention on the. 2lst day Of June last.
Your Committee, and every leading
participantin in The campaign, have kept
tstcadily m view the principles and
policy then. adopted. Our gallant
standard bearer never lost sight Of
these and bore our principles plainly,
| frankly and couvincihgly before the
public mind While our oppohents
have endeayorel by every means in
their power to mislead and misrepre-
sent the issues involved, and to play
upon the prcjudces and ignorance Of
those who have been long absent, or
not alive to the teachings and tehden-
cies of the 50 called Democratic party
for four years past, we have adhered
strictly and in good faith TO the pledge
made when the Union party was or
ganizeJ, to ignore al lssnes and stand
iianiy and persistently together upon
tho Platform of true loyalty and in,
tcgrity to the Union and Government.
Upon this platform we have fought
the campaign fairly and honorably
and have won a glorious victory.
Ohio has definitely settled the guess
lion that none but loyal men can be
trusted on guard-those whose record
has proved them true to the Union
cause Our sister States everywhere
are gioriousy responded to this popu-
lar verdict, and the heart of the people,
unceduced by the hollow pretonces of
the Democratic leaders, in protesting
to support the Presidents policy, an
swer manfuliv. SIT is too late !"
Let us not forget, that for these good
results we owe much to those brave
men, who periled their livess on many
bloody fields, and who have come
back TO us and assumed their places
as loyal Union-loving citizens igno-
ring their old party affinites and at.
tachmeDts, and still recognizing the
necessity and propricty of a Union Par
ty, pledged to sustain the Government
in its earnest efforts to restore loyalty
and secure peace and harmony to the
country, ... -.r
Hoping and trusting that wise and
prudent counsels may prevail, and
that our beloved State, in the future
as in the past, may stand foremost in
the ranks of loyal, earnest supporters
of the Government, we congratulate
you upon the auspicious result, and
hope that the same wisdom, modera-
tion and energy in action, will con-
tinuc to secure our permanent success.
Very respectfully,
GEo. B. WRIGHT, Chairman.
