OHIO TO FIGHT IT OUT N NOVEMBER.
The Liberal Rspublicau Of Ohio u
stead Of being dismayel BY the rec, n
elections. cinim7 substantially the vic
tory. We extract the following from
their address, just published, TO the
people Of Ohio.
The smoke of Tuesday battle has
cleared away, so hat we are now abe
TO report fully results.
We have met au army Of veterans,
flushed wilh years of victory, and sup.
piled to ropietion with ali the wea pons
that party IN power could furnish,
with all the resources of Il great Gov
ernment Ut command and yet IN our
first onset victory crowns our banners
1t has beeu conceded upon all hands
that the loss 10 Grant, IN October. OF
either of the three great States then
voting, would be ,ic,ory for Greeley in
N0vem ber
Indiana Is ours. and Ohio can be
made ours, and it only remains now to
gather promptly the fruits of victory
Ohio has gone uGbly. Grants ma
jority OF forty thousand in 1868 has
been cut down 10 a beggarly ~ or u
thousand upon the hrst onset We have
carried eight members Of Congress out
twenty one-a clear gain Of three from
the stronghold Of the enemy, aud in
spite of the most outrageous districting
bill ever passed by the Legislature to
gerrymander State.
Greeley aud Brown arc ten thousand
votes stronger in Ohio to day than any
man on the State ticket, and hence If
we do our duty, the State can be carri-
ed like vhirl wind in November.
That our success on Tuesday is not a
delusion, but real aud substantial, is
evident by comparison with any vote
polled during the past ten years, and
h,nce we have every reason to move
forward with confidence and hope to
the final conflict in November.
Even without Ohio in November
the election Of Greeley and Brown Is
substantially assured, as will appear
from consideration of the following
table of electoral votes.
Thus it viii be seen that all along
the line the Greeley men and leaders /
are rallying for the November contest
with undauuted courage and determi
nation The ldresses of our friends
in Indiana and Peunsy ylvania. not IN
rluded above, are equally as chivalrous
aud hopeful The turn of a single State
may defeat Gen. Grant, or elect Greeley.
What shall we do? Shall Kentucky
falter in the final struggle? Ia the De-
iober elections the apathy Of democrats
gave Ohio to the Radicals. This is eyi-
lent from the figures as the smoke OF
Dattle clears away. Shall Kentucky
be surrendered by ike default? Gees
Grant already boasts that Kentucky
Bourbonism will force our electoral
vote to his column. Their hope is that
1 sufficient number of Kentucky dem
Ocrats viii stay away from the polls to
give Grant the State. We are no
aiarmiss; but every democrat is needed
at the polls. Let US to work; and work
brayciy. If only one State is lacking
to defeat Grant, let that not be the
proud old commonwealth Of Kentucky.

LiCe saving on STEAMBOATS,.

The Nautical G0-ette publishes an
article upon the Metis steamboat dis
astcr and the burning of the steamer
Bienville, aud suggests several impor
tant changes in the steamboat law.
Among the reforms suggested is an
easy but effective one for saving life
by providing means to do so, which,
even in the excitement of such mp
meuts as the sinking of the Metis, may
be available.
The steamboatmen, in their appeal
to Congress to change the existing
steamboat law, asked that the law be 80
changed that ''all state room doors be
hung ON parliamentary hinges. so that
in case OF accident, they might be un
shipped and used Us floats aud RATS.
Senator COnkling and others objected,
and thus an important life saving ma
chine was not al hand IN the Metls
disaster. An ordinary state room door
will easily support four persons IN the
water Nearly all these doors have
glass or slat wiud1w in them knock
this out, unhang ;he door, tear sheet
longitudinally aIl tie it through the
opening, and three or four persons can
readily be foated in safety tor mile
Two of them tied together form an ex-
cellent raft, on which an elderly per>,
or invalid could be laid and hoated
long time. On the ordinary life-pre-
server, usually found in every berth on
steamboat, it All be noticed that
there are two tapes or straps; these are
intended to 90 ovss the shoulders, so
that the cork bcltEshall not slip down
aud eapsize the wearer. and, therefore,
due attention should always be PAID to
their proper adjustment before Jumplng
overheard. In vessels built like the
Metis the hurricane or upper deck IL
pretty safe place to resort to IN tue
event of fouudering, for, as the null
goes down, the air aud water pressure
will be very likely to separate the sa-
loon houses from the hull, aud thus
form large raft; yet, after all there
is more safety In the state room.
