The October Elections.

ALL HAIL, OHIO, IOWA, NEBRASKA.
Ohio Republican, Iowa Republican BY
thirty thousand majority and Nebraska
Republican by ten thousand, is a good
record for the second Tuesday Of Octo-
ber-as good as could have been expected,
and better than any intelligent student Of
the situation has dared to count on With any
certainty. The result in Ohio is peculiarly
cheering, for there is little room to doubt
that it was achieved over heavy Democratic
frauds, and it is victory won by fair
fight on principles. The Republicans of
Ohio accepted squarely the issues of imitation
and sectarian division of the school money
rendered By the Democrats. As the cam
paign progressed the financial issue overshad-
owed every other The Republican speech
es in the canvass were arguments for sound
and honest money. while the speeches of
the antediluyian "Bill'' Allen and of the
demagogus and blatherskite. Carey, were
specious pleas for more paper currency as
cure for all the evils of the hard times.
They laid their traps OF sophistry to catch
every man that Is in debt, or out of
work, or suffering curtailment OF his
business and income. Their over
throw, under all the circumstances, is an
indication Of the soundness of the people on
the financial issue, more gratifying than
any merely partisan victory. The October
elections show that the Republican masses of
the West hold to their political faith, and
see no hope Of Improvement from change
to Democratic control The effect on the
November elections, and on the next Presi- |
Dental campaign, Is too obvious to need a
word. The Republicans Of New York and |
Pennsylvania will take fresh courage from
seeing what has been accomplished at the |
West, by good nominations, fair argument,
and honest effort And the party will 60 |
