From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Oct. 16.
The voice OF the Democracy Ct Ohio
comes to US with pleasing sound. Inc
Legislature viii have Democratic msIorlSy
Of nineteen on joint ballot, with HorKing
mai ,rity in both branches. The election OF
William Allen by small majority Is con
ceded at the Republican headquarters IN
Columbus. It viii hardly be possible for
the Republicans devoted TO Addition ana
Silence in footing up election returns TO per-
msnently count Mr.. Allen out OF the Gov
ernorsbip, for the Legislative jury winch
will assemble next winter will be disposed
to scrutinize their system OF vote-keeplng
somewhat closely. We therefore pass the
word along the line this morning that there
has been d glorious Democratic victory In
Ohio. lis the triumph Of honesty. u is
a tribute to public virtue and official purity
paid by the people and emphasized BY the
odds against which We fought. 1t Is 9
conquest OF foes without and Tess
within. Our battle In Ohio has been the
only election this fall which has COMMANDED
the attention of the whole country. IL mac
- trrrr,
been made by our opponents OF tile tWo
classes named above,a fight for the life and
the permanence of the Democratic party.
Immediately upon the nomination OF OUT
State ticket, which was the last IN the neio,
and astraight" ticket, the leaders OF the
Republican press aud party said that II we
succeeded in its election nothing but super
human efforts on the part Of the Repuplican
party could prevent our success in the next
Pr. sidentia, election. We do not disagree
with that statement Of the case; and 10 tne
end of establishing It's truth by the fact, let
us, on the suany side of q victory for which
many of us dared not hope, simply pause
like Paul at the Three Tayerns, 70 thank
God and take courage. We have been XIII
ing larger game than Noyes In tnls elecslon'
We have been building or repairing
for the future. A party whose oegln-
ming was foolishness and whose
end is nothingness has been taught . useful
lesson. The questions OF the future, econ
omic questions, the relations between mo-
nopolies and people, are questions on winch
the Democratic parry alone can ana VIII
promote the cause Of the people. These
are questions which the last two weeks have
| lifted into prominence, questions which
have entered and viii remain In many thou
sand homes, which will presently absorb
the notice of the wnole country. We have
convinced msjority of the people Of Ohio
that the Democratic party is worthy OF their
confidence. We have denounced dishonesty.
We have pleaded on behalf of the people
for public virtue, and recognition OF l. BY
the people, and our plea has been cordi ally
and nobly answered. Let US grspple viii
the dominant questions which are ahead Of
us as wisely and Effectively as we have met
the issues of this canvass. Only thus car
we, or ought we, to keep the confidence Of
the people The "result," therefore, OF The
election is really still ahead of us, and viii
cover larger field than Ohio. Last Tues
day opened the door to it. g-HlA
