THE OHIO REVOLUTION.


Only eleven nonths ago. Mr.. Hayes
received In OhioAa ma A3ority4 OF q, ,5l6
over Mr.. Tilden, and the Republicans
elected twelve of the twenty members
of Congress and carried both branches
of the Legislature with majority OF
% on joint ballot. Now, these major
ities are all swept away ana the DEM
ocrats have triumphed by figures that
may be called astounding, when COM
pared former results: -
The significance of this answer to
the demands of the Fraudulent Ad-
ministration cannot be weakened by
lame excuses, intended to break its
moral force. 1t is clear, emRhatic,au
overwhelming. Every art and effort
were employed at Washington to get
an approval from the people of OHIO.
The public patronage was lavishly be-
slowed to gain sdherents to the Hayes
policy. The kRepuhlicSn Convention
nominated q candidate for Governor
who openly advocated the Communis-
tic doctrines Of the day, in the hope
of seducing the labor yote. On the
financial issue, the hard money plat
form of two years ago wac renouuced
and the whole canuass was made on
the opposite extreme.
By preconc 3Tted plan, Mr.. Hayes
and his travelling Cabinet circus visit
ed various parts OF Ohio on the eve of
the election held soldiers meetings,
and organized receptions for the evil
dent purpose of Influencing public
sentiment. The mockery OF the ir civ
il service reform was kicked aside by
John Sherman and his colleagues. In
order to raise money for this campaign
by assessments on othceholders dra-
gooned at the house of the Sixth Aud
For of the Treasury in Washington
John Sherman set the example OF
deserting the office which he occupies
through fraud. yet cannot NIL, by
personally leading regiment of PAL
tisan clerks 10 Ohio from the public
departments todo what Is expressly
forbidden by Hayes's sham order.
The influence of the Treasury, direct
and indirect, was txerted to the fullest
extent, and without scruple or stint,
us in the worst days of Grantism. to
operate on The election, Every mem
ber of the Administration, including
Carl Schurz, who at first pretended op
position uld his best by the power
which he exercises to have the Fraud
ulent President approved and endOrs-
ed in Oaio.
But that great Stale has soornfully
repudiated Hayes, Sherman, Matthews
Garfield, and the rest of them, and as
distinctly approved the oppo, ition
which Ben Wade and John Beatty rails
ed al the outset. The Western RI
serve, which has long tolerated GAR
field and his fragrant corruption, has
gut the stamp of reprobation on him
and his employer so thai his career,
which has disgTaced q forbearing
constituency, may be regarded as al
last drawing to close, destined To
furnish with an appreciation like that
which has attended the various Rings
il whose plumbers he was associated.
The Republican organization OF
Ohio, as it has recently existed, is
C ushed by this blow. The upright
and the corrupt elements of which il
is composed cannot dwell together
longer iu harmony. The cause of CO.
heslon which may be said to have
coerced connection between oppos-
ing forces, has passed away. The
Garfelds, the Snermans, The Mat
thewseS, and other jo0ers in poliIiots,
will have to go 10 tne wal or seek
new customers.
Hayes has to meet Congress, not on
ly with House of representatives IN
opposition, but with Senate, having
nominAlly Republican majority, still
more hostile Than tue IL use is. House
Is. lnere Is no former example like
this In all our nlstery, As there is
n tne of President installed in off.ce
by concerted fraud.
