But let the result be either way, assure
you, that the Democracy are badly broken
up. 1t may seem strange to say so, but it
looks to me that Aliens success would hurt
the Democratic party largely more than his
defeat. His success would point to an in
hatiOnist nominee Of that party in 1876,
with the body of the Democracy East and
much of it North aud West voting the Re-
publican ticket, o: not voting. His defeat
points totwo Democratic tickets. The feel

THE Democratic papers attempt to
break the force of their fall in Ohio
by publishing scandalous stories
about the use of money by the Re-
publicans. We happen to know, on
the best of authority, that the Repub
lican State Committee complained
bitterly about the lack of funds to
pay the necessary expenses of the
canvass. Any one familiar with po-
litical contests in Ohio will know that
the "lavish expenditure" of money
by either party, would cost the guilty
one the State. The people would re-
pudiate such corruption very quick.
Here is what an Independent cor.
respondent of the New York Tribune,
telegraphing from Columbus the day
before the election, said on this sub.
ject:
"a nuE-ber Of prominent Democrats
gathered at their State Committee room
this afternoon. They looked Respondent,
but Of course would not admit to an out
slider that they had given up hope. Chair
man Thompson complained Of the want Of
funds during the canvass, and said that
most of their speakers had paid their own
expenses. About $4,000, he said, is all
the money the State Committee have spent
: Senator Thurman remarked that the Repub-
lican Committee had had $40, 900 from
, Washington alone, raised by Postmaster
Rdmunds. The Senator appears to have
had his figures greatly inflated for him by
somebody. One-tenth Of the sum he
named, it is asserted on excellent authority
would about represent the amount sent by
. the great official collection-raiser, and mos
. OF that he got by passing round the he
among the ofiice-holders in Ohio. Tn,
truth is, that neither party has had muol
, money, though the Republicans have un

THE CHANGE IN OHIO.

Our contemporary was inclined yes
terday morning to belittle the Re.
publican victory in Ohio by ar.
guing that majority Of, 5000 was a
small one in so large q State. But
in order to give Tuesday 5 vote its just
significance let us for moment look
at the result. One year ago on a vote
of 459, $40, the Democratic majority
in the State was 17,202. ali
The political tidal wave was with
the Democracy. They had for two
years carried the State, had the Leg
islature and full control of the ma.
chinery of the State and of the ma
chinery of every large city in
the State. Under these disadvan.
tages, taking the aggression on the
currency question, against what foul
months ago, was the popular current
the Republicans have carried the
State by a majority Of about $4,000
carrying the legislature and regain
ing control of Hamilton and Cuya
hoga counties-the largest counties
of the State. A change of over so,
900 votes in one year under adverse
influences on an issue appealing sole
ly to the intelligence, patriotism ant
honesty of voters is significant ant
will so be treated by every candle
man.

THE RESULT IN OHIO.

The people of Ohio have again
won the gratitude of the patriotic,
intelligent, honest citizens of the
Nation for their significant rebuke of
the initiation, repudiating, dishonest,
unpatriotic Democracy. AS in 1868,
by an overwhelming majority against
Sallandingham, her patriotic people
re.kindled the fires of patriotism
throughout the land and inspired with
new confidence the loyal people OF
the Nation in their herculian task to
save the Government from over
throw; so now in 1875 her voice is
again heard, clear, and firm, and re-
solute, leading the patriotic people
of the whole country away
from reputation, and dishonesty
and depression in trade to
fair dealing with our creditors, to
public honor and good faith and to
renewed prosperity, sure to follow
such a sublime demonstration of in
telligence and patriotism, and homes
ty on the part of the people Of the
third State of the Union. The De-
mocracy of Ohio cast reproach upon
our National honor and shook our
public credit the world over by its
shameful proposal to cheat our honest
creditors and debauch our public ser
vice by encouraging dishonesty and
bad faith in our public affairs. The
Republicans of Ohio have removed
that reproach and restored that con
fidence by their decided and signifi
cant rebuke of the regulators.
Wherever the electric wires carry
the news honest men vii
feel encouraged and true
Americans feel relived. The wheel:
of commerce will feel unlocked, ant
the tide of business take a new
sweep. Confidence will be restored
money that has been boarded through
distrust will be put afoat, Legitimate

If defeated, however, we need not
shed tears. A defeat, it is true, would
be disastrous, but victory might
prove more disastrous still. Certainly
the Democratic party could not sur

We may therefore pluck up our
