OHIO DEMocRATIc.-The. Democratic
triumph in Ohio is what might have been
expected after such swindling and open
dishonesty as has been shown wherever
the Republican party has had the major
ity for long period. That it is greater
than was expected cannot be doubted.
But the Republicans themselves now say
they had no longer any hope of carrying
the State; and that it is better that the
leaders and office-holders of their party
shall go out of power, and remain out of
power until the party becomes purer and
better.
We rejoice at the victory of the people;
for that is what it is. They have been
too long under the heel of so tyrannlcal
party, and this has been completely
shown by the opposition made to Mr..
Hayes, who has done all he could to sat
isfy his party without grinding down the
people. The Democrats will now have
to put on their best behavior, and thereby
deserve and hold the confidence of the
people.

So many people who are ceaselessiy
and senselessiy howling upon one
side or the other of the South Carolina
question, forget, or refuse to see, that
President Hayes has neither made nor
unmade Governor there. Not even
has he recognized or refused to recog-
nize one. He has simply, in conform
ity to what he conceived to be the
law of the land, put handful of L. :.
soldiers into their barracks instead of
permitting them to longer guard a
State building. With the removal of
those soldiers was taken none of Gov.
Chamberlain rights in law or i'm fact
and instead of resigning all, with
the able and eloquent, though rather
bitter appeal which has been publish
ed To the country, We should have
preferred to have seen him remain
and put Mr., Hampton's pledges to the
test
The Tipton advertiser., 1877-04-19

Last week Wednesday night a cal
amity occurred in the burning of the
Southern Hotel at St Louis, which
ranks close to the Brooklyn theatre
and Ashtabula bridge horrors. The
Southern was the largest hotel in the
city-six stories above the basement
and contained hundreds of guests and
employees. No general alarm was Civ
en-, and in the dead Of night most of
these people awaked to find the halls
full of smoke and flame and all hope
Of escape cut off save by the windows.
Ropes was hastily constructed out of
torn bed-clothing, and while they
saved many, they treacherously dash
ed others to pieces on the pavements
below. The fire escapes reared in the
streets did not reach the upper win
dows, but by heroic exertions, the fire.
men saved many lives. Although the
glowing embers had not yet permitted
full investigation, at latest accounts
thirteen were known to have been
killed, including one Englishman who
shot himself in crazy excitement after
escape. Several more are yet missing,
but some and perhaps all have escap-
ed and gone away without reporting.
The excitement in the city was and
remains great; and the papers there
and elsewhere are discussing the
problem of safety to life in great hos
telries. 1t will most likely end in
discussion-though a bill was promp-
tly reported to the Illinois Legislature
compelling landlords to keep in every
room above the first floor rope ladders
securely fastened near the window.
