A Republican Defeat.

The Republicans of Ohio have suffered a
decisive defeat. Bishop is elected Governor,
and with him the whole Democratic State
Ticket, by majority not yet definitely SET
tied. 1t may be 10000, or even more. The
Democrats have also carried the Legislature,
making sure of the election Of United States
Senator in place of Judge Matthews. Moth
ing is wanting to make our reverse complete
and sweeping.
Reasons for this disaster will now be in or
der, and they will be offered in abundance on
all sides. The Democrats will continue to
talk of hard times, of forced resumption, of
Republican misrule-the staple of their cam
paign editorials and harangues. In Republi-
can circles, there will be every variety of ex-
PLANTATION. The management of the canvass,
from the very start at Cleveland, will be
found full of serious mistakes and lamentable
ineficiency. One will claim that the indorse-
ment of the Administration was too strong,
and that its Southern policy was given too
great prominence in the canvass, when the
only issue on that subject was scithin the Re
publican party. Your truly liberal, indepcnd-
ent disorganizer, on the other hand, will con
tend that this policy was not made prominent
enough-that it ought to have been indorsed
with greater emphasis, crammed down the
threats of reluctant Republicans with vigor.
and washed down with pepper-sauce. Some
will say that there was disaffection with the
policy of Civil Service Reform; that the
methods of reform adopted by the Admins
tration were in themselves unsatisfactory and
unpopular; and that continual departure
from the policy proclaimed, and repeated vio-
lations Of the pledges made before election,
have made the matter still worse. Many Re-
will be found indorsing the DEM

would die would 60 and marry her Sis
