One fact in connection with the defeat
Of Democracy the most careless observer
will notice. While the Democrats have
lost heavily in the large cities and money
centers, we have gained largely in the
mining and manufacturing districts. In
youngstown, one Of the principal manu-
featuring points in the State, albeit on
the Reserve" the Democrats gain
largely. The same is true Of the coun-
ties of Lawrence, Gallis, Meigs and other
mining counties This shows that,
while the voters Of the large cities, the
"money centerr,' felt the influence Of
the money which flowed from the East
like water, the laboring classes, who feel
most keenly the burden of hard times
which the Republican financial policy
has fastened upon the country, have
largely increased the Democratic vote.

There seems to be no doubt that the
Republican candidate for Governor is
elected by majority ofnot J, 81 than i've
thousand votes, which, when II Is re-
membered that Ohio has for twenty
years been Republican State, Is not .
very decisive victory. The verdict on
the financial question Is by no means un-
equivocal. The majority is small for 9
State like Ohio. The religious question
entered more or less largely in the can
vass, and above all the two parties were
at the bottom not 80 widely separated on
the financial issues they have generally
gotten credit for being. If the news In
hand rightly indicates the result of the
election, that result will undoubtedly
strengthen the hands of the hard-money
wing of the Democratic party, or at least
bring to the front those who hold con.
servative views on the finances. Its di-
rect influence on the Democracy Of Ohio
will probably be to bring men like Sena-
tor Thurman and Congressman Payne
into greater prominence and influence
within the psrtv.

For three months the organized press
Of the money power has trained its bat
teries upon the OHIO Democratic col
umns. The Eastern banking and bond
holding rings have poured out their
money, and the Republicans Of the State,
through this aid, were enabled to perfect
such an organization as they never pos
sessed before. BY persistent lying, mis-
represen tation, and the introduction Of
false issues they have succeeded in
poisoning the minds Of the people and
turning them away from their true in
terests. The victory which they have
won they have purchased dearly. 1t is
victory which determines that the
money power is still able in this country
to throttle the people. Money, y ever
wary, cautious, and watchful. The men
with selfish interests were prompt to
array themselves on the side Of capital,
but the poor, blind, deluded masses fell
easy victims to prejudice. Thousands of
poor men cast their votes for Hayes who
will feel the cold hand of want before
spring. When the crushing hard times
come they will remember the lost opPor-
tunity. tsa'

The Republicans have carried Ohio by
a majority Of few thousand In vote Of
over half million. II is hardly neceS
sary to moralize over the figures or to
make light Of the consequences. Neither
Republicans nor Democrats who consider
them thoughtfully can view the result
with unalloyed satisfaction. Every in
telligent Republican knows that the
closeness of the contest, with his party
relieved of every incumbrance and fight
ing at every advantage for a principle
which brought to its support the large
German vote, the independent element
and not few Democrats-allies which 1t
could never have under any possible cir
cumstances again-forbodes inevitable
defeat in the coming struggle for nation
al supremacy. In the two leading COM
mercial centers of Ohio alone-Cincin-
natl and Cleveland-the Republican
ticket received nearly its entire majority
this year, and this majority came from
the honest, hard.money Germans and
not the Liberal Republicans, who in 1878
cast their ballots for Governor Allen, and
who last year rolled up the Democratic
majority in the two counties TO seven
thousand. And there Is not a man Of
them who, In an issue between Grantism
and honest Democracy, would not cast his
vote for the latter. The Republicans
have won in Ohio ON an issue Of which
they were afraid, and which was forced
upon them by imbecile demagogues.
Fortune east the chance in their way,
and they seized it, Another opportunity
will not be afforded them. This Is the
outlook from the standpoint Of observ'
ing Republicans. Itisnot one OF smiling
promise.
