While the Radical Congressman from
Ohio have been talking about impeach-
ing the President, most Of them have
been impcached by the people in their
several Districts. They will go to Con-
gresS in November with the melancholy
Consciousness that if they had been run
ming this fall they would have been bad
ly beaten, Thus, in the First District,
Mr., Benjamin Egglcston has been re-
buked by a majority of 400.
In the Second District, General Gerry,
an Independent grcenback Republican,
secceeds Gen. Hayes, against all the eff
forts of the Radical organization to pre-.
vent it. Gen. Cary will pursue a different
course in Congress from his predecessor.
In the Third District, represented by
Gen. Shenck, who has been exceedingly
yiluperatiye of the Democracy, the Rad.
icals were beaten by a majority of 500 or
more.
In the Fourth District, now represent.
ed by Lawrence, RADICAL thcre is now
a small Democratic majority.
The Fifth District, represen ted by
William Mungon, Democrat, has gone
Democratic by a largely increased major.
ity. The Sixth District, which is now
misrepresentcd by the Radical Clark,
has also been redeemed. 1t has gone
Democratic.
In the Seventh Tor Shellabarger, Rad.
CAL District there is very nearly a tie
The vote is such as to show that he could
not be returned again.
The Eighth District, which returned
Hamilton, Radical, last year, by 1900
majority, now only gives the party a
hundred or two majority.
The Ninth auckland, Radically Dis
trict has given him a laundering rebuke
by going Democratic by 1900 minority
The Tenth District, now represented
by the notorious Ashley, who has been
active in the impeachment of the Presi.
dent, has also gone Democratic by a small
majority. He has received his quietus.
The Eleventh District, also having Q
Radical member of Congress, (Wilson
has been redeemed. 1t is Democratic BY
q handsome majority.
The Twelfth District has a Democratic
member of Congress, who has been sus-
tanned by a largely increased majority.
In the Thirteenth District, which is
now represented by General Morgan,
Democrat, the Democratic majority is
nearly 1000. Columbus Delauo, Radi,
cal, has been contesting General Morgan's
right to q seat. Whatever the dump
| Congress may do in the premises, the
people have again Endorsed General Nor
gan by a majority five or six times as
large as that which they gave him last
year.
In the Fourteenth District, which il
now represented by Welker, Radical, and
which includes the great Radical strong
holds of Lorain and Medina, the Radical,
have barely escaped defeat by q hundred
or 90 majority.
In the Fifteenth District, the Demo-
Gratis are victorious by a decided MAORI
ty. This is a fitting rebuke to Plants
the present Radical member.
The Sixteenth District is BiDgham's
one of the most conspicuous of the Rad
ical leaders in Congress. 1t has been re-
deemed, and goes Democratic by a small
majority.
The Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nine
teenth Districts are all off the Western
Reserve, and in them, Of course, tn,
Radicals have been able to retain thei
prepOnderence by greatly reduced major
tiles.
From this summary it appears that o
the sixteen Radical members of Congress
from Ohio, only five have been sustained
by the people at the late election ; this
too, in districts which had been "gerry
wandered" aud expressly "set up" al
ways to return Radicals. Such a reyolu
ton in politics is almost unprecedented
