The Elections.


tions in pennsylvania aud Ohio, it. is prop.
or that we should supplyour readers with the
opinions. of some ofthe leading Journals Of
that section, on the result, The "Ncw York
! Tribune" says: ~
s /" Pennsylvania yesterday elected Judge
Sharswood to her Supreme Bench, by a small
majority. This is as we apprcheuded, though
not as we wished. He is an able man, while
his long experience as Judge, aud his resi-
dcncc in Philadelphia, gave him decided
advantage over his competitor. This triumph
is personal, and rather in spite OF his thor
oughy bad politics, than because of them"
The Philadelphia Press one Of Forney's
papers, says,
The defeat .os the Republican party in
Philadelphia is overwhelming, We have
fallen off in every ward, aud while we caunot
I, conceal our profound regret at the uncxpcc.
& ted event neither do we conceal our satisfac-
1 tion, that we have had to encounter host Of
prcjudices, and an organization of bigotries
(; which can never again be SO powerfully ar.
raycd against the Republican party. 1t is
unnecessary to specify tho causes of our over
throw. These arc not sufficiently familiar as
to be remembered rs warnings in the greater
like the overthrow Of tho Union army at
Bull Runin 1861 will only better discipline
and prepare the champions of human freedom
for Drawer and lucker conflict with the
sympathizers with the rebellion.
The +" Philadelphia Enquirer" (Republi-
can) says:
The city Of Philadelphia has been carried
by the Democrats, who have elected their
whole city and county ticket by majoritics va
rying from | 1888 up to $685..
In regard to the Legislative ticket there is
doubt; but in several districts in which Re
pubicans were elected last year, Democrats
will now be returned. The result in the third
Senatorial district shows that David \ Nagle,
Democrat, has been elected, which is no gain,
the district having bcen Dcmotratc for many
years. - fH
In regard to the Councils, it is certain that
Democrats will replace the Republicans in
several wards but as two thirds hold over in
both branches, there will still be Republican
majority in both chambers The whole num-
Der of votes polled upon the ticket for sheriff
was l04,62l, being about 1900 less than last
year. There have boon several causes which
have produced this state of affairs.
The /" Philadclphia Age (anti Rcpubli-
cun) says:
For many years we have not been able to
present our readers with such gratifying in
telligencc as is conveyed in the returns of the
election of yesterday. The city of PhiladcI-
phia-the Gibralter Of radicalism--with eve
ry influence that money and place could exert
against the Democratic party has elected eve
ry city and county officer nominated by the
Democrats by substantial and. in some in
stances, enormous maiorites. The value of
such n victory can hardly betod. If the ex-
au,pleof the city is followed throughout the
State, rs we believe it has been, initiated in
other States, as we hope it will be, the cx
treme measures Of radcnlism will cease Ito
have tcrrors, for the people will have taken Tho
matter of sustaining the President into thei,
own hands, and woe betide those who resist
them a

Tho " New York Herald, in its comments
says:
Uncuuivoca protest against the continue,
rule of the radical party anywhere, or for an,
purpose, seems to be the substance of the de
cision given at the polls yesterday in Pcnnsyl
rania and Ohio. In Ohio, the great Rcpub
lican party is, like Dogbcrry, " one that hatl
had losses" and heavy losses, too; while th
chosen measure of the radicals s. the amend
ment to the State Constitution giving sutirag
to the negroes is certainly lost Ohio vii
have no more of the party that impudentl,
raises its nigger supremacy policy to the dig
nifty of tho "main question" Such is TIT
clear declaration Of her people. The def a
Of the Republican candidate for Governor o
Ohio-a sound Union soldier, whose war rec
ord was relied upon to rally all the strength
of his party-shows how complete is th'
change Of popular sentiment, and give th'
strongest expression to the purpose of tn
people to withdraw their support from the pol
itioal organization that has abused such gran,
opportunities. Ohio declares against givin!
tie suffrage to nisgers, and if this ssn eardina
fied anywhere, it was in that State This re
suit, therefore, shows how just were the fear
