Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-10-09

Up to the present writing-near mid
night-the returns from the election have
all been of the most cheering character.
Negro Suffrage is defeated. The ma-
jority against it viii be SO Overwhelming
ly large that it can never again be used as
an issue to bolster up the falling fortunes
of any political party.
The Democracy have gained everywhere.
Nota county or township heard from,
but give gains sufficient, If other parts OF
Ohio do as well, to elect ALLEN G. THUR
MAN, Governor of Ohio, and with him, the
entire Democratic State Ticket. 81" -
I'm Muskingum, the battle ground OF
Ohio made SO by the Republican Central
Committee, to defeat Mcssrs. JEwETT and
BALL for the Legislature, these gentlemen
are without doubt elected--the County is
redeemed, and Negro Suffrage lost and its
advocates sent into political banishment.
This gives a Democratic gain of two MEM
b>rs of the Legislature, and secures the
re- election of Senator LINN, In the Perry
and Musklngum District.
Kuox county, too, is redeemed. The
home of FRANK II. HURD, the glorious
representative of the young Democracy
on the Ticket for Attorney General, de-
feats Gen. BANNING for Representative and
elects a Democrat, This, too, is a gain 4 =
The few returns from Miami county show
ing great gain in the city of Piqus, secures
we think, the election of WINNER Demo
crat, 10 the Senate. If so, this is gain!
In like manner the increased majority In
Licking makes the assurance doubly sure
that, LEWIS EVANS is elected to the State
Senate from the Licking and Delaware
District. This, too, is gaini
And Montgomery, the home of VAL
LANDIGHAM-the Traitor, Butternut, Cop
perhead VALLANDIGHAM-stan now on
the long roll of Democratic counties, re-
deemed from Abolition misrule,, and elects
two Democrats to the House of Represent
atlves. These, too, are gains 81
Aud Scioto county, too, is redeemed, and
In the place OF the leading Republican in
the last Legislature, she sends the editor OF
the Democratic organ, our friend NEWMAN,
to the House. And that, too, is gatnf =
Thus, from the partial returns before us,
the Democracy have gained Senators in
the, Miami, Darke and Shelby District, and
in the District composed of Delaware and
Licking, and in the Scioto District
The Democracy also gain two Rep
-sentatives in Montgomery, two in
Muskingum, and one each in Knox and
Scioto, without any loss whatever.

Although in Columbus, once the strong
hold of bitter hostility to Abolitionism,
the Republicans who, during hislife, swore
by HENRY CLAY, and as soon as he died,
abjured his principles, voted on yesterday,
almost to man for Negro Suffrage, yet in
all parts of Ohio, it is 'dead as a herring
that is red" 4
Losing the Negro, is disruption of the
Republican party in Ohio. 1t loses its
stock in trade. 1t is an Acknowledgement
of future defeat. for negro voting was
pressed as necessity for the preservation
of the party-the negro,it was argued, would
hold the balance of power and thus save
them from the ''wrath to come" of the
Democracy. In future contests-the six
to eight thousand negro votes were to act
as reserve to the Radical 8phalanx, and
thus save them from being flanked at each
election.
The Negro is not a voter in Ohio-he is
scarce an institution. And they who peril
led their political salvation in the attempt
to give him the right. to vote and to hold
Office, can now thank their stars that the
Democracy have saved them and the
country from their folly. To them he
may still be man and a BROTHER, but he
is no relative-not even the ninety-ninth
oousin-to thesDemocracy and the Con-
servatives who have pronounced against
him as voter, and VINO abjure all brother
hood with him. ps i 3sIi
