The Result I'm Ohio,

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Oct. IL, 1872.
Editor Stdr:-Old Boreas, Virgil's Rex OF the
Winds, lifted high his gates and "nor'wester"
came roaring down upon US all day yesterday,
and in the p. m. copious rain fell and the
weather was cold, chilling, searching; and
gloves, overcoats and all the garments needful
In the Hibernal season were in demand. To-
day the Iorwester still howls and plows the
bosom Of Old Erie into lofty, crested pillows
,b ne Without to
my winding way to the Capitol. All the out
ward signs of Autumn are apparent here. The
foliage Of the forest trees are getting gaily col
ored and exhibit the varying hues from the
"sere and yellow leaf'' to the maroon and bril-
liant scarlet; the air is cool, the clouds are
gloomy, "and all the winds are full OF wailing."
YOU HAVE HEARD THE NEWS
from the four states whose elections occurred
on the Sth instant? Isn't il refreshing to the
honest man and patriot? Never, within my
recollectlon, has any election been conducted
with such persistent, earnest purpose as II was
on Tuesday last in the three states OF Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Indiana. Never did true men
have more inscriptions, pertdious unprin-
clpled body OF partiZans to contend against than
the men of the great republican party in the
three states named had on Tuesday last in thai
unholy alliance of recreant republicans and
ONCE hungry democrats. Here, in this city, the
cohorts OF Greeleyism have met with a most
disastrous defeat. X. &. Parsons, the nominee
OF the republicans for Congress, and a most ex-
celieht selection he was, active, capable, and
alive to the interests of his district, opposed
in the canvass by Mr.. Selah Chamberlain, a
democrat, and very worthy man. 1t is cur
rently reported that the latter
SPENT $4,000 ALONE,
10 carry the election, but such measures were
OF no avail so far as the result was concerned
Parsons was triumphantly elected, and he will
Justify the confidence repssed in him when he
takes his seat in Congress. There was no local
success in the late election in this state that
gives greater satisfaction to the people of the
northern part Of the same than the election OF
Mr. Parsons, owing to the fact that the Chap
paquaks were determined to defeat him. and
were SO sanguine that they would accomplish
their purpose.
Next to the election OF Mr.. Parsons, we all re-
1oice in the triumph of Mr.. Foster over Judge
Sloan in the Ssndusky district Sloan is
charged with obtaining his nomination by
fraud, and then he and his friends were as un-
scrupulous in the means employed to win, as
the opponents of Mr.. Parsons were, and they
falled. But you can scarcely conceive how de-
Jected and dismayed the confederates are. The
day before election they were bold, confident
beastful; the day after they were dspirited, ST.
lent and suilen. They felt the rebuke. How
can they regain spirit and resolution, so as TO
give apprehension to the friends of the savior
OF the republic as to results in any demonstra-
ton they may make at the polls in November?

Jerome Park Races

BAssETT BEATEN AGAIN.
The scene Saturday is said 20 have been the
most bril- ant ever witnessed ~ Jerome Park.
The weather was superb and the attendance
larger than ever seen there before. and probably
a. large ~ ever assembled on any race course in
ihe United States. The grand stand was
crowded, sn unusually large number OF ladies
being present. The great event looked forward
to was OF course, the great fOur-mile race, In
which Harry BasSett and Monarchjst ccntended
Tor the championship of the American turf.
The nrst and second races were reported in
saturday. STAR. The third race WAS a free
handicap sweepstakes Of 80 each, one aud i've
eighths miles. Eight horses started, viz: Frank
lyn's Arizona, Halls John MeTryman, McDan
iels Sue Rider, Carroll ~ Coar'S OTtolan Wei
con May Louise, Morriseys Defender, Daw-
sens Gao, and withers' Mint. The race wa
won by ortOlsn. Defender second. and Arizona
third. Time, 2.5gS.
BAssETT BEATEN.
The fourth race and great event Of the dRv
was the mile dash, in which the great Harry
Bssseu. Monarchist, and King Hesry ran. The
ferald says: This was truly an exciting event
a. the pool sales on the result we're the heaviest
that ever took place at Jerome Park. In ore
OF the pools Harry BsSsett sold tor =. SOB, Mon
Archlsi tor SS.Ol5, and King Henry $40. Great
interest had been shown in regard % the race
LOT week, and 1900 people were out TO wit
ness The race. MOnarchst was again successful,
beating Harry BasSett more Shamefully IN an he
cid In the three mile race. In fact, Harry Bas-
sett only really ran one mile with MOnarchist,
and then gave up the struggle like a cur. This
was the second mile, the first being run through
by both horses under pull. The second mile
was head and head contest for about a mile
and then Harry Bassett quit, and Monsrchist
galloped on alone for the following two miles,
winning the race by two hundred yards, in
I:S3a Harry Bassett second, fifty yards in front
OF King Henry. Harry Bassett did not seem
much distressed when he was pulled up, and did
not show any lameness, the assertion of inter
ested parties 10 the contrary notwithstanding
A story was srreai over the track that be had
broken the middle tendon of his near fore leg in
the race, but whether the horse was injured OF
not and this some veterinarian will have TO de-
clde) his hackers will never think well of him
again. Harry Bassett acted at the completion
OF The second mile exactly as he did when Long
fellow passed him at Monmouth Park, and a he
did al Jerome Park a week ago. But there were
excuses by the dozen at Monmouth Park for his
defeat, among Others that he had been poisoned;
but we Rttribut ed his defeat there to the family
failing OF the Boston blood, that is, disposition
10 skulk at any time, but more particularly
when pinched. Few will believe the story about
the broken tendon, and until some we'll know n
veterinary surgeon gives the public a deposition
TO that effect the impression will rest on the
minds of all who witnessed the two races be-
tween him and MOnarchist that the latter is the
best horse.

WINAN's CIGAR SHIP. That odd looking

point at each end, bisected by a high paddle
wheel and surmounted by a funnel and pilot
mouse, now mOored at Winans' wh arr. is tOlerably
familiar to all Baltimoreans as "Winans' cigar
chip" But even those who knew that it once
years ago cut through the waters never had any
faith in the success of the design for new style
OF steamers, and it was generality supposed that
the Messrs. Winans had abandoned the idea of
building vessels upon such a model. They
seem, however, to have faith in their invention,
as they applied at Washington for an extension
OF their patent, and il was granted on SATURDAY..
