vote in Ohio aud the fact that the herman

[St. Louis Globel
The importance of the victory achieved by
the Republicans of Ohio yesterday can hardly
he overestimated To the couutry at large it
means an unm!s akabe verdict in favor of
National honor and National honesty. To the
Republican party it means an assurance of
success in 1876; and, last but not least it lays
forever the Third Term ghost which has haunt
ed the minds of timid people so long, and which
the election of Allen would have sent stalking
abroad once more, on the supposltlon that OF
the forty odd millions of American people
there was but one solitary individual VINO
could save the Nation from reputation and
ruin.
[Springfeld Republican,
Up to the meeting of the Columbus Sonven-
ton, the political current was running as
powerfully toward the democracy-or rat her
away from the adminstration-as year ago.
Nothing had happened to check it. Yet Ohio
gives an ant-democratc majority of five to ten
thousand. The Independent voter was numer
GUS enough in this state for that He is numer-
GUS enough in the country to make it worth the
while of both parties to consult his tastes and
to humour his prejudices. The man he votes
for, next year, will be very liable to be the cen
tennial pre- sident.

1t is safe to assume that imitation received its
death blow on Tuesday, and that the dangers
which threatened the country on account OF 1t
have been removed for all time. This means
that, instead of another era of riOtous specula-
tion ending in disaster and ruin, the country
will enter on a career of substantial prosperity,
in which legitimate trade will at least have as
good chance as speculation. While there IS
much to be done to secure sound currency, IL
is certain that whatever steps are taken will be
to that end, instead of away from it, This Will
give confidence to capital, which instead OF
being locked up will now seek employment In
such enterprise as promises fair returns. The
times are exceptionally favorable for capital
lists. Prices have been reduced during the past
two years to ante-war figures. wages are down,
aud the cost of everything which enters into
the expenses Of business has fallen. The one
element that was wanted was confidence, and
nothing could strengthen that more than the
defeat of the inhationists.
National Republican,
On the whole, while the result is satisfactory
to the Republicans, it might be more So Its
greatest significance is to be felt in the future.
1t will aid in the defeat of the Democracy in
Pennsylvania, but it may encourage the Demo-
cracy 10 New York aud New England; but un-
der any circumstance it does not show, as we
havs said, that initiation is dead.

We had a wee Rag Baby once,
1t was its parents pride,
But Hard Money stuck in its throat,
And it choked and kicked and died.

[Chicago Tribune.l
The honest, straightforward policy upon
which the Republican party based its hopes of
success. ami the earnest, thoughtful utterances
of the able and sincere men who have spoken
and written by day aud by night in behalf of
the real and permanent good OF the whole peo-
ple-these have borne glorious fruit,and the re-
suit is an occasion for universal rejoicing. 1t
will make the dollar in every mans pocket, he
he rich or poor better, bigger dollar than it
was before; it will strengthen the credit and
good name of the United States all the world
over.
Boston Journal
The Republican cause will everywhere be
strengthened morally and mat eriay, and the
Democrats, in addition to the disappointment
of heavy and unlocked for defeat, will be
precptated into an abyss of discussions and
denominations from which they cannot recover
in season to present an effective front in 1876.
ALBANY Journal
In their political effect, in their moral infu-
ence elsewhere, in their public consequences,
these aggregated victories are intellectually i'm
portant and inspiring. The great success in
Ohio is especially exharatlng as triumph of
intelligence over ignorance, of honesty over dis
honesty, OF fidelity to sound principles and
public pledges over a fragrant aud shameless
assault upon the national honor and credit 1t
does not crush the initiation heresy, for the in
fation Democracy will again rear its head.
The impulses OF the party are unchanged. Its
leadership is essentially vicious. Give it a
promise of success and it will again show out
its real character. Defeated now, these ram
pant infationists will press to the front again
