From the New York Herald, Ind.
The Republicans have reconquered
great State. which they lost two years age
and, what is more important. they staut
before the public as the successful cham
pions of sound currency, gaining a grea
moral as well as great political advant
age. They are fairly entitled TO the credi
of having rescued the country from grea
danger, and their success will have de
cided influence on the subsequent elections
of the present year.
from Boston Journal
The battle in Ohio has been fought incl
by inch between the Republicans as hare
money men. and the Democrats as infati
onists tending to reputation. and the vic
tory is with the former. 1t was contest
of truth with error, ofintelligence with ig-
norance and recklessness, and it conse.
auently required time. The Republicans
were visibly gaining ground every day at
the close of the campaign, and we believe
that if the latter could have been extended
a few weeks longer the victory would have
been immensely enhanced. However. the
general consequence will be the same-the
Republican cause will be strengthened
morally aud materially. and the Demo-
Gratis, in addition to the disappointment of
8 heavy and unlocked for defeat, will be
precipitated into an abyss of discussions
and recrimination from which they cannot
recover in season to present an effective
front in 1876.
