The Republican YictOry-Its Meaning.


The victory OF the Republicans in Ohio,
and in the two Congress districts of Ham
ilton county, has far higher reasons for
gratulOtion than any personal or party
triumph. 1t is the turning point in
great affair of principle aud policy which
vitality concerns the sulvation of the whole
country, 1t is victory of honest money,
and Of good faith in public and private
contracts, over a scheme of false and slip
perry money, which many, even of the Re.
publicanS, thought a popular infatuation
which would carry into power and Office
any party and candidate that mounted it.
The Republican victory knocks the
sham money craze in the head. It's charm
is gone. The Democratic leaders have
found that it will not carry their party
into power. They realize that they have
rolled themselves in the dirt, degraded
their party, and precipitated its dissolu-
ton, for that which they knew to be q
cheat. They have lost all, and honor
with it. They dishonored all that they
called party principles to seize success
and only made their defeat greater.
The defeat disgraces the false money
scheme. Demagogues who mounted II
will now spurn it. The delusion that lhi,
was resistless political force is dissipated
The turning point to honest money has
been reached TO the Democratic party
the defeat is Waterloo. They aban
doned all, and trusted in this delusior
alone, and have been oyerlhrown by it
They have nothing left Their party i
disorganized, aud they have no principl,
or doctrine or idea upon which to recon
struct il.
In general there is no disposition I,
triumph personality over the fallen; hu
when public men of veteran years aban
don all the ideas of their manhood, an,
mount that which they know to be de
strnclive delusion, merely TO adyanc,
their personal ambition, every one feel
that their defeat is a righteous retrbulion

Mr.. ]. A. HAIGH had the advantage OF
other speakers during the campaign. He
is not only fluent speaker, but handles a
pen quite readily, and it has been an easy
matter for the readers of the Bee to keep
track Of him. Very glowing accounts OF
his eloquent speeches have appeared in the
Bee by due "cOurse of male" from each
point where he has spok ken, and especially
does the writer(s) of these very we'll writ.
ten little epistles grow eloquent over Mr.
HAIGu's two efforts at Fremont-the last
on Monday evening and the reference to
it appearing in the Bee OF Tuesday. We
quote:
at is said that circumstances bring
strong men to the front, and it is the gem
eral opinion here lat FremonO that Mr.
Haigh is one of the coming men of the
Nation in this irrepressible conflict between
the money power and labor. He is GER
tainly one of the most eloquent and able
speakers on the financial question in the
country. Ihave heard all ofthem, and nothing
have heard yet that surpasses his speech
es. Erery day of Ais time should be utilized
in this cause Of the people"
The italics are our own; we Use them TO
draw attention to the main issue. We
want to give Mr.. HAIGH rest We want
to give the people rest. A campaign
that has lasted nearly yenr-on the part
of the Nationals is long enough. Let
Mr.. HAIGH and the people do something
else for while, and See if times do not
get better. The electors of Ohio say they
want the Resumption act to take effect Jan,
uary lst, 1879, and that on direct issue.
The way to resume now is to resume. Let
us resume work, not on the political stump,
but at the roots OF the stump with the
grubbing hoe. Let us clear the road for
the "honest plow" that Mr.. CHAs. EATON
talked about to u.s. a short time since. "IT
is TINE TO WORKl!!"

THE TRUE PATH; or, GOSPEL
TEMPEKANCE.

A complete history of the rise, progress
and wonderful effect of the great Relorma-
tory Wave, with biographies, addresses, in
cidents and anecdotes OF Francis Murphy,
DIR. Henry A. Reynolds, Capt. Cyrus Stur-
divant and Miss Frances L. Willard. Al
so the most telling speeches and appeals OF
prominent leaders and helpers, and inter-
es;ing experience of the most remarkable
of reformed men.
The biography Of Francis Murphy from
his earliest childhood, and through his
slavery TO strong drink, reads more like a
romance than actual facts, yet, as told by
himself, carries with it in every word a
warming to the young, the middle-aged,
and the old, to beware Of the Alluriug De-
mon and the Ranking Seeds Of Dissipa-
tion. Like the glorious tidal wave, the
Reform Club, or Red Ribbon Movement,
under the leadership Of DR.. Henry A.
REYNOLDS, is sweeping through our land
raising mp thousands who have been
brought low through intemperancc. The
work accomplished is marvellous, since over
one million individuals have signed the
pledge.
The powerful addresses and appeals
which have electrified so many and led
Thousands upon thousands tn the paths oi
reclitude will be found intensely interest
ing and instructive To the reader.
The WOmen's Temperance Crusade, in
auguraled in 1873, under the leadership oI
Mrs Eliza J. Thompson and which spread
like prairie fire over the land, shows the
wonderful results over the persistent etiurl
on the part of the Christian women, bat

CHURCH CONGRESS.

A Church Congress is to meet in Gin
ciunati on Tuesday next, and will continue
in session until the Friday following.
Some of the most distinguished clergymen
and laymen in the Church will be present
to take part in the discussion Of topics
that possess great interest. Among the
more interesting subjects on the programme
for discussion are, "The Interpretation cf
the Bible in relation to the present cundi.
ton Of learning and science" "The novel
and its influence upon modern life," ,""The
New Testament doctrine of absolution, "
"The Sunday question" and "The mutual
relations OF labor aud capital" Among
those who will talk in the exercises are
Drs. GARDINER, HARwoop, ,OsGooD. Hunt
ISGToN, BUTLER, WAsHBURN, VINToN,
GOODWIN, DEKovEN, and President PoT.
TER, A, S. HEWITT, b. L. GREENE and
Professor McCARDY.
Concerning this, the Cincinnati Times
says; There is not one Of these subjects
that does not have intrinsic interest for our
citizens, and not one of the speakers who
will not have that to say which will be
worth listening to. The sessions of the
Social Science Association attracted much
attention. and the papers were filled with
reports of the meetings. 1t ia safe to say
the discussions of the Church Congress
will be equally interesting aud profitable.
II ia hoped that Dean Stanley will be able
TO be present at one or more sessions OF the
Congress.

GREENBACKIsM'S GETTYSBURG.
Toledo Commercial.


Gresnbackism has had its Gettysburg
IIenceforth its history must be one Of
cumulative disIster-of woes that will
follow so fast that they tread upon each
others heels. The tide has turned, its
star has reached its zenith, its noon Of
power has been attained, and the future
has nothing in store for it but waning and
decadence.
This Ii in the very nature Of things, and
arises as much from causes within as
without the party. Destitute of even the
most rudimentary principles, it lacked all
that can give permanent cohesive strength
to party. Its sole claim to popular nt-
tention and support was its persistent
clamor upon the financial woes from
which the people were suffering, and its
claim that it could do something to miti-
gate or remove these. 1t calculated upon
that human Characteristic which inclines
us to listen eagerly to whoever will tell
us that we are abused, and promise rs.
siItance in righting real or imaginary
wrongs.
But the troubles which form it's sole
political capital are rapidly disappearing
Abundant crops, and the natural recovery
from depression are restoring the country
IL its normal prosperity. The crisis has
long since passed, and before another elec-
ton the improvement will be so manifest
that he who talks of the woes of the busi-
ness and laboring man, and runs for Office
on the proposition TO bring better times,
will find none but chronic idlers and per-
ennial deai-beats to listen to him.
Had the Nationals or Democrats car
risd Ohio Gresnbackism would have had
much longer lease of life. 1t would
have drawn to its support from that large
body OF imperfect reasuners who think that
simply because thing is novel and takes
for moment that it is destined to per-
manent success. We have seen how sim
ply such promise Of success "a the pros
pect in this State afforded tore men like
Thurman away from lifelong moorings
and dragged them whittier they loathed to
60. From this il can be readily imagined
what the effect of substantial Greenback
victory in this State would have had upon
the multitude in general
There is nothing now to attract new
comers 10 Fiatism nor retain the older
proselytes. 1t can make no promises of
preferments, which are always the strength
of new party, because it is manifest to
the dullest vision that it will never be in
4 position TO fulfill these promises. If i,
cannot, at time when there was 30 much
to favor it, carry such State MS Ohio,
where the parties are so nearly equal, it is
obvious that it cannot achieve any other
success OF Importance, and the moment
this fact is recognized by class of the
sort that FORMS the mass OF the Greenbaek
party its doom will be sealed. 1t is not a
party to endure defeat. 1t has not the
fibre OF principle which can Withstand
such rough usage.

LET THE BRUISES HEAL.

The campaign is now over and we pre-
sumo very large majority of the people
are glad of it. With the anxiety and la.
Dor attending campaign, the editor es-
pecially becomes weary. There is an anxi-
ETY. for the triumph of a principle, as well
as for the selection of honest, capable
and true men to fill the offices. To labor
with this object in view, somebody's corns
must be tread upon and old sores reopened
in the conflict. When the result is an
nounced, these should be allowed to heal
up and all pull together for the common
veal
We are among those who believe that bet
ter times would be experienced now had
the iiancial question and the panic not
been made an issue in the campaign. But
unfortunately y-or probably fortunately for
us--we must be classed with the poor work
ingmen whose woes have been Brought
prominently before the public in this cam
paign, and we shall hope to come in for
our share of the sympathy and assistance
We are well pleased with the evidences OF
appreciation Of our labor by quite large
addition to our subscription list since the
campaign opened, the addition comprising
the names of good, substantial men who
came to us unsolicited. We hope this ap.
probation and favors may continue. We
have endeavored in the past, and will con,
tinue to aim in the future to pursue an
honest straightforward course by all, with
no desire to injure any one, but labor for
the benefit OF all who are worthy and dc
serving.

stances failure is disgrace. And It 10 the
end Of his Presidential hopes.
The victory is mos. honorable TO the
Republican party. because il is victory
which places a great and vital affair OF
principle and public policy on a safe foun-
dation. II is victory which slevates the
party, and starts it forward on a new ca
reer. 1t is a victory which leaves this the
only party that is founded on rational or
honest principles. And IL is the rising Of
a popular tide which will carry the next
election OF President, and will restore the
Republican party to the control Of all
branches Of the government

I'm exchange truthfully remarks that
people make great mistake about heaven.
They think it begins up yonder, but it
really begins down here. If you can be
happy in the basement story, your are fitted
to enjoy the happiness of the upper stories.
But il you whine and moan here, heaven
itself cannot change your mood.
