THIS MAKES THIRTY STATES
THAT AREOyERWIIELIING
DEMOCRATIC.

We arc yet without full returns from
the California election, but have
enough to establish the fac, that the
Democracy, pure and simple, have
carried the State and Legislative tick.
cts. The New York Herald claim:
the State for the Democrats BY
$4,000 plurality. There wcre four
tickets in the field, viz: Democratic,
Republican. Independent and Temper.
auce. The Temperance movement,
however, was small affair, and at.
tracted no attention.
The Democrats will shout over this
victory, and they have reason to.
Three years ago Grant carried Califor.
MIA by over $4,000 majority. In
1873 the Independent movement, bus.
ed upon hostility to monopolies, arose,
and was successful, resulting in the
election Of Booth, 4 Republican, tc
the United States Senate. The Dem.
ocrats have now rallied and swept the
board: Our victory in the Golden
State is noble encouragement for the
Democrats Of Ohio, who shou ID 60 in
to tho fight in October with "Califor.
MAJ inscribed upon their banners
The word will be sure harbinger
OF victory. Irwin and Allen arc the
winning names this year. In view OIL
this crushcr from tho Pacific Slope the
talk about stcmming the tidal wave
seems very faint and husky indeed.
As matter of course the Radical
leaders in this region will have all
kinds of reasons to offer why tho Radi.
cal party were defeated. But the OK.
PLANTATION is very simple. The people
have determined that its corr upt lead
crs shall be turned out Of power. The
scandals Of the last few years have ut.
tcrly disguised tho honest voters Of the
country with the men who have been
mixed up with them.-Whcn these
corruptions were first brought to light
the Radical leaders by promising re-
form got new lease Of power, but in
stead Of reforming abuses they were
only augmented. This fact has moi
escaped the notice Of the people, and
they have wisely made up their minds
that the only way to put u period to
ruscali.y and official knavery is to turn
the rascals and knaves out of Office,
and along with them all their aiders
and Ring apologists.
This is the moral of the California
election. 1t shows that the wave of re.
form that swept over the country last
year is much greater than this and is 60.
ing 10 make clean sweep Radicalim
will stand no sort Of show whatever
That party and. its leaders have been
absolutely repudiatci aud condemned.
Their attempts to create false Issues
this year will not save them from dc.
feat at last. Their professions Of re.
form deceived no one. The people arc
first going to turn them out, and then
compel restitution of the plundercd
millions rs far as possible. One thing
is certain. Tho Colfaxes, tho Bill
Kings, the Earlans, tho Garfelds, the
Camerons, the Cessnas, the Delanos,
the Grants aud all that sort of men arc
to be retired 10 that obscurity from
which they rose, and their periodical
crimes will DO reared as monuments
over their political graves as warnings
for the future.
