The Prospect in Ohio.

IL any doubt heretofore existed i'm re-
gard 10 the pending election in Ohio, the
crushing defeat of the Republicans IN Gale
foruia, and their recent disruption in
Maine, ought to cXtngush il entirely.
While the moral effect of these results
cannot Dee well estimated i'm numbers the
probability is they Will affect thousands
Of votes and help TO swell the Democratic
majority largely.
The change in Maine especially cannot
fail 10 produce II profound impIo ion, not
only on ohio, but throughout the county.
The Democrats were impeifoctly orpun-
lied, made no active canvass had no money
TO spend and were accustomed to set up
candidates like nine pins, only to be
knocked down. All the advantages were
on the other side with the prestige super
added of long possession Of political power
IL the state.
While the Democrats have poled n re-
markable vote in view Of these crcum-
stances, what may be fitly called the revo-
luton has been brought about by the
silent but decided protest of Disguised Re
publcans, who could not be led and would
not be driven. Appeals to the passions of

the resentment of thinking men, whose
material interests have been sacrificed to
enrich public plundercrs and TO maintain
venal demagogues in office. These Repub-
leans in Maine who quietly went to the
polls and smashed the machine, took the
first chance to put their mark on the rot
ten system which has brought the country
10 its present distress. They voted last
year before the tidal wave swept over
other States, but have now joined in the
general remonstrance against Grantism.
Honest aud rejecting Republicans in

New England or New York. The Western
Reserve Is peopled with the sons of Con-
hecllcut' massachusetts, and New Hanp-
shire. They were all alike educated in
the same school of politics. and have been
accustomed to act together for many
years. The causes which have estranged
Republicans in the East and snapped asun-
der the partisan bonds even in Massa-
chusetts, must operate upon those of the

What scandal has affected the Court Of APP

Probably the Nation means to intimate
that there was something wrong in the de-
clsion of the Court of Appeals pronounced
in the TWEED case against cumulative
punishments. But how was it wrongl Mr..
O'CoNoR, whom the Nation lauds, says that
the decision is good law; and so says every
other lawyer, big or little, with the excep-
ton, perhaps, of NOAH DAVIS, whom the
court overruled.

scandal in the TWEED business, but it is not
in the Court Of Appeals. TWEED stole an

The History of Momcn,ou. struggle.

When the Pennsylvania Democracy met
in convention nj Erie, the main question
they had to determine was whether they
would succuinb to the powerful Treasury
Ring or face and crush 1t. They chose the
latter alternative, and made their work
clean and thorough.
To those who insisted that an issue
against the Ring would be n false is
sue, they responded with tremendous in
diciment, covering in general but unmis-
taxable terms the huge list of crimes OF
which the Ring stands accused and in
most instances convicted, either by con-
fession or 10y proof. To those who insisted
that the Commonwealth could enforce no
legal claim upon the plumber because il
was stolen, they responded with firm
declaration that the interest on the public
money, which has been systematically cm-
hczZlcd for ten years or more, should and
must Ice accounted for. To the doing
