The Ohio Election.

lion was, hard money We. green back.
Hard money won, greenback imitation
is now, in our opinion, entirely eli
minated from politics. The eyes OF
the whole country ere turned upon
Ohio i'll this election, and the result,
neither a Democratic defeat nor a
Republican victory, has settled the
financial policy of each party in the
coming Presidential election, and, as
the financial plank in the platforms OF
each party will be about the same,
the lines will be drawn and the fight
made upon other issues. We append
the comments of few of the leading
Journals of the country on the re-
cult.
Nkw YORK AND KNOW NoTuINGIsM.
New York and Know Nothingism
have carried Ohio. The might of
money has triulnphed over the caus-
es of the people. We labored and
hoped for different result, but were
the disaster ten fold what it is, should
lose no jot or title Of our faith in
the principles that have been thus
overslanghed.-St. Louis Times,
Dem.
BOTH PARTIES ON GOOD BEHAVIOR.
The downfall OF the inhationists in
Ohio will have an immediate and
far reaching influence for good. 1t
places both parties on their good be-,
havior for the Presidential contest of
the Centennial year. The Republi-
can party received their warming last
Fall. The Democrats have, in yes
terday's experience, greatly needed
lesson that may be Of much service
to them. Since the triumph of the
arms of the Republic, there has been
no issue before the American people
equal in Importance with that which
has been pending in the Ohio Cam
paigr, and no victory so momentous
and benefcent as that of yesterday.
The question OF finances involved the
public credit and the national honor.
The dependence Of the inhationists
was upon ignorance, and their appeal
was to passion. Ohio gives her voice
for honest money, and the sacred
preservation, as among our priceless
possessions, of the pledged faith Of
the people. Sue gives her voice, too,
that the workingmau's dollar shall
SOON be gold dollar. She is a rep
resentativo State, and she will be
heard and potential throughout the
land Cincinnati Commercial, Ind.
PRIMARY CAUSE OF DEFEAT.
Tho primary cause for their defeat
if defeated they are-lies in the
fact that they not only had to fight
the Republican party, but had acsu
ally to contend against considera-
bio element i'll their own organiza-
ton, who were as pronounced against
what they were pleased to designate
the "inhation boresy," as the most
advanced Republicans. Under or-
dinary circumstances Ohio Demo
Gratis would have tho thorough sym
pathy and Cooperation Of Democrats
the whole country over. In the
present contest one of the most inn
portant ever known, outside Demo-
Gratis, not few nor isolated, but by
tens of thousands, wished and prayed
for the defeat Of their brethren in
Ohio.-Nashville American, Dem.
NEW Issue.
The Democratic ticket was assailed
and the platform upon which it: was
nominated bitterly opposed by the
organs of the so"cailed Democracy of
New York. They urgently called
upon the people to beat our nominees
and to elect our Republican oppo-
nents. That it had some influence
on the result ia beyond npestion
