The Ohio Election.

1t now seems certain that the Demo
Gratis and anti. Monopolists or "grangers'.
have majority on joint ballot in the Ohio
Legislature. II Is not clear at this time
thstthe Democratic State ticket Is elected.
Be that as It may, however, 1t Is clear that
,he Republicans have experienced de-
cided reverse as compared with the vote
las, year, at which time they had major.
I,y o! over $4,000 at the October election.
There are various ways Of explaining
this falling oil in their vote. Our expla-
nation Of 1t Is that they are disaiiected
smoug themselves on account OF the
Credit Mobilier Developments and the
salary grab business. Very many persons
who could not vote the Democratic tick.
ct stayed away from the polls to avoid
taking any part whatever in the election
The isct Is they felt sort Of disgust for
the whole business OF politics on account
Olwhat has happened in Congress and out
oft during the last year. Had the Dem.
ocrscy not been tarred with the same
stick they might have won many OF these
persons 10 their ticket this year. But
their record on the salary grab Is worse
In proportion to their numbers than
the Republicans, and therefore all they
could do was to merely poll their own
vote as far as possible and avail them
selves Of the disinclination Of their oppo.
uents to take any part in the contest.
The Cincinnati Commercial OF yester.
Jay in speaking Of the result says that "it
has been the fortune oil the old ALLEN
faction, after retirement OF twenty
years, TO appropriate the results OF pub
lie dissatisfaction, inditiereHtism aud con-
fusion, and to gather the reputation OF a
victory beyond their actual strength"
The Commercial Is Of tho opinion that
when It comes 10 straight fight between
Tue two parties and when the track is
clear Of all side Issues, that the Democ'
rscy will again, as heretofore, 60 to the
wall. This time they have had the bene.
tit, not only Of the distrscting elements
named, but oi Temperance movement
among the people. And upon this point
the Commercial speaks as follows:
Either the Liberal or the Temperance
vote would have been sufficient to give
NOyes as large majority as the Republi:
can party Can count upon In the quiet of
years; and however the Liberal vote may
be divided between the Republican and
Democratic parties, when the strain
comes, IL il must come, that leaves but
Two lines OF battle In the field, the Tenn
perauce prohibitionists are almost unani'
