We are compelled to concede this after
noon the certain election of General Hayes
as Governor, by a majority ranging from
1,500 to 1000. Our Democratic friends. in.
their .extrayagant Joy telegraphed, from
Democratic counties larger ma iorities than
we really received, which awakened false
hopes.and some of the Reserve counties un-i
expectedly held up, to nearly their usual.
majorities., Though the Republicans have
saved their State ticket by a few hundreds
they have no occasion for exultation. They
expected che day before the election, to car
~ Ohio by 10000, elect q majorityiin both
branches OF the Legislature, and were conf.
dent that the Constitutional Amendment
wouldlbe successful by q few thousand MAJ
jerity.x In everything save in the election
of their State ticket they are sadly. sorely.
disappointed. If they can feel jubilanti
over the result in Ohio, then they can be
.spleased with a rattle and tickled with a.
straw" We regret the defeat of Allen g.
Thurman. He is one of the ablest men in
the Union, great statesman, and as true a.
patriot as ever the sun of heaven shouef
upon. He has made a magnificent canvass
"a gallant fight. His excoriation of Ben.
Wade at Marietta and Wapokeneta and
other points in Ohio, had a great influ
ence in securing the election of men who
would. defeat the hopes of that worthy,
who sought an, Endorsement and re-elec-
tion from the hands of the people.-Platn

Hayes is reported elected by a few hun
dred votes. The contest is so close that
until the official vote is known, the exact
result will be still in doubt. We of course
regret that the noble patriot and statesman,
Thurman, is beaten, but we have the con-
ISOLATION that we have gained Demo-
cratic Legislature and can make him
United States Senator for six years.
where his brilliant talents, schol-
arly attainments and able states
imanship will have ample scope, and
his splendid abilities shine to advantage
and add lustre to his name. We have had
glory enough for one campaign, gain of
over zoos votes in Gallia, a Representative.
Sheriff aud Prosecuting Attorney, and
probably State Senator; Democratic
Legislature, a United States Senator. a
gain in the State of over 10000, and an
overwhelming defest of the nigger amends
ment; and add to that q Democratic tri-
lumph in Pennsylvania, and good news
from Indiana and Iowa, we feel as though
we were happy enough. Three cheers for
the gallant Democracy of Ohio. Hoo

amble setting forth that the tobacco manu-
factnrers have been and are now suffering
gross wrongs under the act Of Congress
taxing manufactured tobacco, not so much
from the amount of tax IS from the manner
in which IL Is imposed, although they be-
lieve a general reduction of the tax will be

wants Of the trade, which were discussed
at length and adopted.-Stdr.
