THE ..HERALD" ON THE OHIO
ELECTION.

on the the successful side in presiden-
tial campaigns. 1t now contends that
the result In Ohio settled many import
ant points. Imitation, it asserts, can
not form an issue in the campaign
next year, Grant is killed for the third
term, Gov. Tilden's chances for the
Democratic nomination are rendered
hopeless, and CarlShurz holds the key
Of the situation. This is a good deal
Of guessing for the Herald. Follow
ing is what it has to say: 1.-THE Repub-
llcans. having now regained this i'm
portant State, have a chance of retain
ing it . year hence, and with 1t a
mighty influence on the presid entail
contest. 1t is all important for the
Democratic party to carry Ohio next
October, of which there ran be no hope
on any such issue as has now been
voted down. The Democratic politi-
clans of Ohio will perceive this as soon
Is the agitation of the late campaign
has subsidized, and they will not throw
away all the chances of the party by
persistence in this initiation folly. Their
recent defeat is chiefly due to Mr..
Echurz, who Influenced Germans and
Liberal Republicans enough to turn
the scale; but he did not appear in the
canvass as a Republican. He took
pains to declare, in the introduction to
his first speech, that he reserved his
freedom to act with either party in the
presidential election according to his
sense OF the public interests. If the
Democratic party should take ground
on which he a stand, MIR. Schurz is
~ free to win the German vote to the
other side by his reasoning and elo-
quence as he will be to support the Re-
publican candidate If he should give
him the preference. Both parties will
court Mr.. Schurz, but neither can gain
his support against his convictions.
He Is, therefore, in a position to rem
der q great public service by the infiu-
ence he can exert on both parties. 1t
will be ia his power to give Ohio to
either according AS he approves Its
policy, and Ohio will next year be the
key Of the political situation.
It is an easy inference that the Re-
publican party can not renominate
President Grant. Mr.. Schurz would
not take part in q canvass for General
Grant under any circumstances and In.
asmuch rs the Republicans can retain
Ohio only by keeping the German
vote, they can not afford to drive
Mr.. Schurz to the other side.
Tho result Of the Ohio election
renders General Grants nomination
impossible on broader considerations.
His only chance depended on such a
widespread predominance of the infia-
ton sentiment as would fill the BUSH
ness classes with alarm and make
them prefer q third term to financial
ruin. The danger is removed. In
consequence Of the defeat in Ohio in
fation will not be an issue in the presi-
dental election, much less the leading
issue. 1t is now certain that the con-
test Of 1876 will turn on other ques-
tions, and with the collapse OF initiation
perishes every chance Of President
Grants denomination. Since the issue
Is dead there can be no set.of to the
enormous loss of votes which would
follow an attempt to elect the same

other consequences Of the Ohio cleo
ton.
Other presidential hopes may, per-
hsps, be extinguished, though not quite
20 speedily. The Western Democrats
are more likely to give up imitation
than to forgive Governor Tilden. They
will attempt to appease their resent
ment by defeating him. They have
already published the threat, and will

Aided by their symathizers in other
States, they can control at least n
third OF the delegates 20 the National
Convention, and under the two.thirds
rule that is all they need to defeat Gov
ernor Tilden. They will reinforce
their personal opposition with other
reasons. They will say that New York
