goguism in American politics is played
out, so TO speak, aud though the Ohio

in Pennsylvania is upon the question
of reform in the administration of the
State government, and now that infln-
ton Is buried in Ohio, the people will
be ready to pay attention to their home
affairs and to demand a remedy for the
abuses exposed In the administration
of the government Of Pennsylvania.
Boston Post: The pernicious doc
trines which a portion Of the Demo
cratic leaders in Ohio Were induced to
adopt and promulgate have done their
work, and the hard-money men, who
constitute large majority Of the Dem
ocratic party of the country, while they
lament the folly OF their party In Ohio,
can not mourn at their defeat. The
incubus of imitation Is re moved.

The New York World calls the re-
suit in Ohio "the defeat of an attempt
to rally Democrats under Republican
stan iards," and is severe upon the
''small knot of corruptionists centreing
