But We Have the Legislature

Hamilton county, net Democrrtlc gain
OF l2,440. Counting Republican gain
Of 1886 in Hamilton county, the net
Democratic gain ia sixty-four counties
is 7,l40. The average Democratic gain
in the sixty three counties outside oi
Hamilton was 197. Allen to be elected
must gain An average of 300 in the
twenty-four counties to be heard from.
The Republicans claim the election of
Noyes and the entire Republican State
ticket by a majority Of 800 or more.
Candid Democrats who have watched
the returus express the bell et that
Noyes has small majority.
Since the above calculation was
made Madison county has come 10 with
a majority OF 4 for Noyes, a Democrat
ic gain of 2lS
LATER.
TOLEDO, October l6, II p. M.-Oti-
cial returns OF the State Election have
not all been received but enough has
been to Justly the conclusion that the
Democrats have cGrr.i tie State
for Allen. It is adnut,,, i. .Lr Re
publcans that both branches OF the
Legislature will have Democratic ma
iorit'es.
CINCINNATI, October 16, Midnight, -
But few returns have been addei tc
those already sent to-day. The Re
publcans are claiming the State by
1900 majority, while the Democratic
State Central Com mittee still figure out
majority for Allen, Of 100. The
election OF q majority OF 20 on q joint
ballot in legislature is conceded to the
Democrats, thus insuring the re-elec'
ton of Senator Thurman. The average
Democratic majority in Hamilton
county is about 800,a falling off OF at
least 8 900. The Democrats are very
jubilant over the result.
CLEVELAND, October l5.-The follow

As and the fifteenth ward 9. Reports
come in slow.
The result in the Stale.
The voice OF the Democracy Of Ohio
comes to us with pleasing sound. Re-
ports from fifty-two counties out OF the
eighty eight in Ohio, show Demo-
cratic gain OF twelve thousand votes.
This ratio will elect Mr.. Allen easily.
The Legislature will have Demo-
cratic majority of nineteen on joint
ballot, with 3 working majority in both
branches. The election William AL
len by small majority is conceded at
the Republican head-q qnsrters iu Colum
bus. 1t will hardly be possible for
the Republicans devoted to Addition
and Silence in footing up election re-
turns to permanently count Mr.. Allen
out Of the Governorship, Tor the Legis-
lstive jury which will assemble next
winter, will be disposed to scrutinize
their sy stem Of vote-keeping somewhat
closely. We therefore pass the word
along the line this morning that there
has been a glorious Democratic victory
in Ohio. 1t is the triumph OF honesty.
1t is tribute to public virtue and Of
fetal purity paid by the people and
emphas zed by the odds against which
we fought. 1t is a conquest OF foes
without and foes within. Our
battle in Ohio has been the only
election this fall which has
commanded the attention Of the whole
country. 1t had been made by our op-
ponents OF the classes named above q
fight for the life and the permsnence OF
the Democratic party. Immediately
upon the nomination ofthe State ticket,
which was the last 10 the field, and q
straight" ticket, the leaders OF the Re- !
publican press and party said that il |
we succeeded in It's election nothing
but superhuman efforts on the part OF
the Republican party could prevent
our success in the next Presidential
election. We do not disagree With
that statement OF the case; and to the
end of establishing its truth BY the
fact, let US, on the sunny side OF q
victory for which many OF Us dared
not hope, simply pause like Paul at
tie Three Taverns, to thank God and
take coursge. We have been killing
larger game than Noyes in this election.
We have been building, or repairing,
for the future. A party whose begin-
ming was foolishness and whose end il
notbingness, has been taught q useful
lesson. The questions OF the future,
economic questions, the relations be-
tween monopolies and people, are qu.s-
tions on which the Democratic party
alone can and will promote the cause OF
the people. There are questions which
the last two weeks have lifted into
prominence, questions which have
entered and will remain in many
