Comments Of the Press On the Ohio
Election,

za
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin,
PRONOUNCED raaicaljournal, says of the
recent election in.tOhio: AS this is
ptHciseiy what wehaye expected ever
SINCE the adjournment of the Cleveland
convention, it would be absurd to pre-
teHdto fee ling of Disappointment In
point of fact we are rather inclined to
regad the result, in some of its aspects,
with satisfaction, for while harm may
come to The. republican party at large
through this disaster, the republican
leadersof, Ohio richly ,deseryeddefeat for
tier COW artEce, stupidity and Fdishon-
esty. Various reasons are presented IN
the different newspapers IN attempt
explanation Of the defeat ; but we do
mot find any OF these to be satisfactory.
| It did not come because the republicans
wished. to express their disapprobation
Of the Presidents policy !: is was not to
any large extent the result Of the pre-
sence ia the field of the greenba6k and
labor factions. Discomfort produced by
the hard times may have carried some
workingmen out ofthe republican ranks,
| bat the chances are that the democratic
losses from this cause were quite as
great. We lostbecause the Cleveland
convention was afraid to construct an
honest platform and was foolish enough
to nominate, ain unfit man for the Gov
er1ofslnp. That is the whole story
The Philadelphia Telegram indepen-
dent republican, says: THE Ohio re-
publicans gave away their chance for a
victory, and it looks very much as if
their fellows of Pennsylvania were fol-
lowing their example, &t
. The New York Tribune, says: ''The
direct bearing of this election upon ma
tional politics is very slight, national
issues having been avoided in the con-
TESTIFY both sides. But indirectly it
may have an excellent. effect upon the
Western republicans, Two. years ago
they met their adyersaries. in Ohio on
the high ground of national honesty. and
al ter hard fght,they beat them gloF-
iously. This year they have fallen back
from the noble position which they then
conquered, and they are overwhelmed.
Another year they will perhaps under
stand that honestyisthe best policy.
The New Y ork Times says AS
both the. main parties We're equally
erasive on all live questions Of the day,
! the result in0hio can only be SAID to be
significant Of the way. in which the
Presidents Southern policy" is regar-
died.. 1t is evident that it has displeas-
ed a good many republicans, and the
number of democrats won By it does not
appear to beelarge.' Pos e. s@

what he saw everywhere, and evidently
enjoyed his tour thoroughly. While in
England he visited the House Of Com
mons, and was interested in the way
which the House Of Commons received
information on various topics directly
from the heads of the executive depart
ments, but it is his impression that that
system IS better adapted to the habits
and feelings Of the English people than
it would be in this country. During his
soiourn in London ;he also had the
yleasure Of dining with Gen. Grant at
Ifesidence- of Minister Pierrepolnt. In
FRANCE he did not get along SO well be-
cause he did not understand the Ian
euage. He had chat with Gambetta,
who impressed.him fayorably. He also
met Gov. Tilden in Paris; who was
looking well and enjoyed his tour. Gov.
Hendricks abandoned home politics
while abroad, and had to be questioner
on that subject with his interViewers.
