There is fine field open here for spec
uIation. The Democratic victory comes,
in our ju dgment, from the failure of the
Cleveland Convention to make the fight
distinctly for the Administrator.
In the absence ofan exciting issue the
third party developed strength, and
while Germans scratched West, Evan
gelicals scratched V geIer.
Tue Democratic party being the regu-
lar army in our politics, held their voters
by force OF discipline in better shape
than the Republicans were able to do.

The fruits OF vic ory are the perma-
nent possession of this peoples realm.
This is Ohio's gift to-day to the Democ-
racy on this continent. Men saw in 1873
the power Of S17 Ohio votes. The peoples
branch Of the Congress followed; ma
jority of States swept into line; but
that triumph was not complete. 1t was
the first soft, sunny day that announces
the breaking up of winter and the noise
less coming of the springtime. Some
shivering days were inevitably to be
dropped down aEterward, but the sum-
mer was surely to come when all the
valleys, like vast basins, should be
filled with golden sunshine as with
wine. The Ohio idea has conquered at
last, and lasringly. The full summer of
power is at hand. The long dominion
of the National Democratic party is Sc
cured. Not only this, but Ohio herself
is lifted to place OF command in our
national affairs. She sits between the
Lake and the Ohio, empress Of our poll
tics, with the assurance Of long-oontin-
ued power.

We suppose they will claim the result
as popular approval Of this scheme Of
paper money, and they seem to have a
prima facie case.
The Workingmen's party had hand
in it, but the only distinctive principle
that party has put forth is a perpetual
and elastic issue of greenbacks. The
Temperance party also did something;
also the bigoted beer party, the two
working together, as is not unusual.
considerable noise was made about sill
YER, and we presume it will be
claimed that this had a hand in 1t, al
though the Republican Convention de-
clared for the silver dollar, and some
Republican speakers tried to fool the
silly believers in a cheap dollar 10 the
top of their bent.
The credulous infationists imbibed
The idea that they could have cheap
metal dollar spliced on to the unlimited
greenback so as 10 double the quantity
of cheap money, aud could have "inter-
conyert tibiltty" without redemp ton.
So far as this result has been brought
about by any defnable ideas, it was by
this shallow delusiOn Of irredeemable
paper money, and cheap metal dollar
hitched to the tail of the paper kite, and
by the small ways with The small things
above mentioned.
But the returns will show what is
called the silent vote large enough to
have turned the result largely the other
way. Several reasons will be alleged
for this, but it is way of the Republi-
cans. Annual elections are too great a
burden for a large number of them. A
government Of the people requires too
much of the people; SO they have their
Fl years, when they have not political
energy enough to vote.

votes cast for the Workingmen's ticket.
So much is certain that in case the Re-
