Editors Intelgenoer;
The election is over and we are glad
that the imitation theory is gone up across
the river. 1t is funny TO hear the causes
assigned for Aliens defeat by the know.
ing ones. We learn since the election Is
over and all Is lost, that no party could
expect to succeed with such platform as
that Of the Democracy Of Ohio In the
present contest. Imperiecti6ns have
been discovered in It since the election
that were not noticed before, and since
the honest voters Of the Buckeye State
have repudiated II at the ballot box,
many think II Is about right, who before
would have been willing 10 wager largely

subsiding. The currency question alb
sOrbed all other issues and many other
reasons are assigned to try to dispel the
forbodings OF future disasters. But in 1t
all we fail to hear q satisfactory account
ing for the results in Iowa and Nebraska.
"They are Joined to their idols, let them
alone" We venture the assertion that
just now the Democracy Of Pennsylvania
would iain remove the imitation plank
from their platform.
The MCNIeChen will case went to the

So the case il no nearer settled now than
il was two weeks ago, and all the hard
labor on the part Of the judge, jury and

grave charges have been made against
him to that effect, but as far as have
heard the expression Of those who heard
the testimony he Is exonerated from all
