The Result in Ohio.

Sufficient information has been received
faom the elections on Tuesday last, in Ohio,
Iowa and Nebraska, to convince every impair
tial mind that the vigor and vitality OF the Re-
publican party has only been stimulated by
the thorough purgation it has made of its own
organization. With courage without par
ellel in political parties, it has, for the past
three years, been engaged in ferreting out the
corruptions that existed and the wrongs that
have been perpetuated by its own members;
and with relentless severity, has brought them
to exposure and condemnation before the bar
OF pnblic justice and opinion. During the
progress Of their work of reform that was in
stituted and the developments that followed,
the Democratic party achieved victory after
victory in States where local questions were at
issue, and where Republicans refused to sup
port men of their own identity whose records
were tainted with suspicious of wrong-doing.
Inflated with these temporary advantages, the
Democracy were deluded into the belief chat
the people of the country were ready to con-
denim the Republican party, to withdraw its
confidence from the administration, and adj
vance to power party whose history has
been war upon the established facts of the
past decade and whose success would be disas-
ter to all the substantial interests of the ma
ton.
When, however, the issue was squareIy made
in Ohio between the national policies Of the
two parties in relation to a question that rises
paramount to all others-finance-the people
have, with forceful significance, recorded their
verdict, and the Democratic party as nation-
al organization is doomed.

Nobody is Bound.

AS specimen of Ring manipulation, we will
mention that Staunton has about 900 Conser-
vatiye voters. There is not district in the
county that has not larger Conservative vote.
YET Staunton had thirty delegates in the late
County Convention, and each district only
Fifteen. Under the rule recommended by the
Conservative State committee representation
had to be upon the basis of the conservative
vote. The county committee violated this rec
ommendation, in assigning Staunton twice the
number OF delegates she was entitled to. With
this radical wrong in the organization Of the
convention, it is very plain nobody is bound
by it's action, for the convention was radically
wrong in the essential feature of its Vitality
There is nothing to prevent any delegate from
acting independent of the caucus, in view of
this unequal proportion of delegates.

The election which took place in Ohio, Iowa
and Nebraska, on Tuesday, Oct. 18th, resulted in
glorious victories for the Republican candidates
in Ohio and Iowa. Nebraska not heard from.
The contest in Ohio was remarkable fer the
ability with which the question Of finance was
discussed-Allsn, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, favsring an imitation Of the cur
rency, and Hayes, Republican, representing a
safe, solid currency, based on specie.
Imperfect returns received last night and
this morning, give Hayes from $1,000 to 10000
majority. The summing up will doubtless run
these figures up to $4,000 or 10000.
