POLITICAL TENDENCIES.

The bearing of the Ohio election upon the
Democratic party at large, is not easy to esti-
mate. The defeat Of Allen by majority Ct
no more than one vote in every one hundred
votes cast, while his supporters outnumbereo
by 90. 600 any vote ever before given In that
State to a Democratic candidate for Governor
cannot be construed as condemnation oy
the Democrats of Ohio of the monetary fea-
lures of their platform. The authors OF that
platform, the Convention which inaugurated
10 the journalists and debaters who defended
it. and the Democrats who voted on II can
not be assumed to have changed their Opinions
nor can they be expected to abandon the issue
IS consequence of its first defeat.
There is now every probability that the
delegates from Ohio to the general nomi-
mating convention OF the Democratic party
next May or June will go with the resolution
to get the greenback policy Endorsed ana &C
cepted by the Convention or majority OF 1t.
If it is there rejected by vote OF more than
two-thirds Of the body split IN the party
NAV be avoided, but if it is only carried or
defeated by bare minority, split and dis
Indignation of tie party seems an ineVNaDie
result.
This separation will not be an anlcaole one
if il occurs The greenback members OF tne
convention, if only in small minority, Will
bolt and nominate candidate OF their own
leaving the hard money Democrats to 40 the
same. with the usual censures and crlmlns-
tions common to all schisms. There may
then be ereenback candidate, hard-money
Democratic candidate, and the regular candi-
date of the Radical party. 1t can easily De
seen that such double nomination by the
anti Radicals would greatly increase the
chasees of the Radical candidate. 1t is only
q remote and improbable contingency that the
election would 90 to the House OF Represen-
tatiyes. and even in that event there would DC
the same reason to fear q divided Democratic
vote against a solid Radical vote.
"War on the national banks and bondhoid-
holders will be popular clamor In many Sec
iions, and it may become so much an enthu-
siasm as to become contagious Ii Is the
strong card of the greenback party, and II
will be brought to its full account from this
time until the great election.
While watching the drift OF Democratic
sentiment we need give little attention to the
angry words Of disappointed partisans, or lay
much stress upon their allegations as to the
influence employed against them. Snch
complaints after defeat are always heard.
But declarations as to future policy, when
coming from representative sources, deserve
notice and consideration according to their
origin. One of these we quote from the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. of October IL:

the long run it will be beaten.
