How Did IL Happen?

None are so blind as those who will not
ace. 1t is singular fact that class of poll
ticans who style themselves non-partsan
are now engaged in effort to bccoud the
public vision and judgment on the subject
of the late political disaster in the State of
Ohio, when it is wise that the truth should
be sought, and cause and effect be honestly
and candidly considered. The Republican
vote of Ohio has fallen OF some eighty
thousand, after n herculean effort on the
part of the most eminent statesmen and
orators to rally the party in its full
strength upon the platform adopted at
Cleveland. 1t is but the part of candor that
the real causes that have led to this great
revulsion should be sought out and fully
understood. Let no man deceive himself
through ignorance or sophistry, but get at
the truth and deal with that. The Repub-
licans of Ohio are evidently dissatisfied
with something relating to their party, its
principles or its position; otherwise there
would not have been falling off of eighty
thousand in the party votc-fifty thousand
of which, at least, remained away from the
ballot-box entirely.
Our adviccs from that State are from very
intelligent sources, and arc to the effect
that the Republicans of Ohio are not in
accord with the Southern and civil service
policies of the Administration. and hence
the State has been given over to the
Democracy. We doubt, if this be true. if
it affords good excuse for surrendcring
the state to the common enemy. That
having been done, however, we should not
deceive ourselves as to the causes which
have led to this disaster. If the Republic
cans are not to accept the new policy of the
President in good faith and act in harmony
thercupon, it is but the part of wisdom and
duty to come to an early and full under
standing on that point No true Republi-
can desires to see his party disintcgrated
and overthrown, either in Ohio or else
where, and we think the sentiment of the
mass OF the Republicans throughout the
country, when aroused on this point, will
be outspokcn and decided upon its rchabili-
tation on its traditional principles, without
modern innovations or attempted improve
ments by processes introduced without
theif advice and sanction.

In THE House yesterday only seventy-one
members were unable to take the iron. clad
oath. They were accommodated with the
modified form of oath for such cases made and
provided. These members form the large
mipority of nearly one fourth of tho popular
branch of our National Legislature. 1t has
already been seen that a much smaller minor.
ity composed of this element in the last
House, when aided by their Democratic allies
of the North, was sufficiently powerful to
seiz" the purse and the sword of the nation by

THE non-partisan journal shows its teeth at
Senator BLAINE. After accusing him Of
having cvaded an investigation into his con.
duct at some time in the past, it predicts that
he Will now challenge the most searching
investigation into all the charges brought
against him. and also professes to believe
that the result will be to "relievo him Of
every faint of suspicion which his enemies
have sought to fastcn upon him" Most people
have supposed that the voters of Maine
passed quite cmphatically upon those charges
at their elections of 1875 and 1877.
