ALL PATRIOTIC CITIZENS OUGHT nc RE-
JOICE.
From the Baltimore American tRepJ
All patriotic citizens, whether Repub-
licans or Democrats, ought to rejoice
over the overthrow of the inflationists in
Ohio at the election yesterday. 1t is a
victory tor honesty over dishonesty; for
good faith over policy that would ulti-
mately have resulted in repudiation and
the destruction for our national credit.
The triumph of Allen would have tended
to bring about period of financial mad
ness; hence both Republicans and Demo
Gratis will to-day have no tears to shed
over his defeat.
NEW STRENGTH TO THE REPUBLICANS.
From the Boston Globe (Ind9
With the defeat of the Ohio Imitation
lists sinks into Obscurity that heresy
which has vaunted itself so insolently in
Pennsylvania and other States beyond
her borders, This victory for hard
money has a national significance, too;
it defines the policy of both parties on
that question, and its effect will be felt
in the councils of Congress during the
coming session. The Republicans and
all honest hard money men in Ohio, have
done their duty well and nobly, and
they have given to the Republican party
of the country new courage, fresh
strength. and hopes of final triumph
which can be easily realized as was the
victory of Rutherford b. Hayes. Now
for Pennsylvania.
THE INCUBUS OF INFLATION REMOVED.
From the Boston Post (Deml
The incomplete returns from the elec-
ton in Ohio yesterday show that the
Democrats of that State have been de-
feated in their attempts to inaugurate a
new departure, and their failure amounts
to nothing more than evidence of a nat
ural dissatisfaction with the hereiical
financial plank inserted in the platform.
The pernicious doctrines which portion
of the Democratic leaders in Ohio were
induced to adopt and promulgate have
done their work, and the hard money
men, who constitute the large majority
of the Democratic party of the country.
while they lament the folly of the party
in Ohio, cannot mourn at their defeat
The incubus cf their initiation is removed
THE EFFECT ON THE NEW YORK DEMOC-
RACY.
btOOhlS II bniolls tihFp.l
New York Democrats would fain con-
tend, and some do contend, for that
matter, that the defeat of Uncle BIZ
Allen on his imitation hobby is in reality
a victory for the hardmOney Democrats
of New York. This, of course, is true
theoretically, but ii Is equally triuIuph
for the sentiment which pervades all pO-
Iitical classes in this State as well as the
Democracy. 1t was II triumph for the
exceptional polity of the New York De-
moeraoy in this respect, and in this sense
we believe it will prove productive OF
the most evil consequences to that party.
The question which agitates the latter
most is, what will be the practical effect
of the Republican triumph with hard
money war-cry on Governor Tilden's as
pirations to tue Presidency OH the same
platform We believe it will be fatal.
