.ArrER ELECTION,

Most people are wiser than they were
before the eventful day, and this is esN
pecially true with Tuesdays result in
Stark county, in the Sixteenth district,
and in Ohio.
The Democracy have been badly beat
en- in the State, county and district. We
never cry over split milk, never whine
over results, preferring to submit with
philosophy to disaster as we maintain
moderation in victory.
1t is needless to specify the causes that
led to this defeat, suffice it to say that,
owning to dissatisfaction, the Democratic
vote was not fully out, and a share OF
what was out voted Republican, or threw
it away by voting the National ticket,
while the Republican Nationals largely
voted the Republican ticket.
A terrible falling off is seen in Demo.
cratic majorities in our hitherto staunch
Democratic townships in Stark county,
while a corresponding increase is seen in
the Republican townships and precincts.
Special efforts were made for Major
Mckinley and Judge Heldenbrand, and
these gentlemen are run far ahead of the
rest of their ticket, State and county.

TILE RESULT IN OHIO.

We print this morning the result of
Tuesdays work in Ohio, so nearly as it
can be gathered at the hour Of going to
press. AS we write it appears that we
have elected eleven of the twenty mems
bers of the House of Representatives
without counting either Sayler or Goss.
There seems to be no doubt that we
have elected Mcmahon in the Third dis.
trict, LeFevre in the Fifth, Hill in the
Sixth, Hurd in the Seventh, Finley in
the Eighth; Converse in the Ninth, Dick
ey in the Eleventh, Warner in the Thir-
teenth, Atherton in the Fourteenth, Ged.
des in the Fifteenth, and Wiley in the
Sixteenth. These are eleven, General
Thowas Ewing, there is every reason to
expect, is also elected. The later re-
turns show that Mr.. Goss, in the Second
district, is probably chosen, and that Mr..
Sayler, in the First, against whom the
great fight was made, may also be elect.
ed, though yesterday there was a CONS
bined attempt to announce his defeat in
advance. This will give the Democracy
fourteen Of the twenty Ohio members Of
the House-a gain ofsix. This, it should
be remembered, was Congressional
Rght. The Money Power was never be-
fore so visible in an Ohio election as on
Yesterday. Hundreds of dollars were
paid to men apparently without inAu-
ence, and with such freedom as to indi.
cate that there were thousands behind
the hundreds. The Federal Govern
ment was moved into town, and the
spectacle, unprecedented in Ohio, was
presented of the Federal Government
appearing as a corrupter of suffrage
Deputy Marshals in unknown numbers
were secretly appointed at five dollars
per day, who went about in citizens
clothes voting and electioneering for the
Republican party. With all these ap'
pliances it is amazing that the State was
not lost to the Democrats. Moneyhowed
freely in every Congressional district
where there was hope of electing Re>
publican member. Personal attacks
we're made upon Democratic candidates.
Trading was resorted to; and this partly
explains the result on the State ticket.
The Republicans, by making this vehe>
ment attack in Congressional districts,
have probably succeeded in getting a
small majority on the State ticket, pers
haps 5000 or 10000 votes The Money
Power is not conqueror in this great con-
tinental struggle Cincinnati Enquirer,

NOT so FUNNY.

1t isn't Kearney that makes Commun
lists of men; it isn't violent harangues
and incendiary speeches; it isn't the
teachings of hot headed demagogues
that makes men Communists. 1t is when
the president and directors of solid in.
surance company, when the president
of Boston or Chicago savings bank get
the hard earned dollars of laboring men
and working women into their hands
and then divide it up among themselves,
and retain their stations in the best so>
ciety, These are the things that make
common people think that a general dis
vision of all property would benefit the
poor quite as much as special division
of the savings Of the poor among the
few. We started out to say something
funny on this theme, but somehow or
other when you get right down into it
there's nothing funny about .it.-Bay,

FROM DEERFIELD.
Tho Fair and The Election.


Our Fair last week was a great success
The Secretary reports fifteen hundred
vehicles entered the grounds and fvt
hundred in adjoining grounds. Twelve
thousand people we're present. The dis
play Of agricultural Implements was very
fine, aud Of fruit and vegetables exten-
slve. Floral hall was we'll filed and
handsomely decorated.
Financially, the Fair was a success, but
as to its being a moral success, is another
thing. On the Fair grounds no liquor
vending or gambling was allowed, but
on grounds adjoining was abundance Of
opportunity to drink and gamble, and
too many improved the opportunities for
decentralization. 1t is proper to say no
residents of Deerfeld sold liquor or had
gambling arrangements. They were all
from adjoining townships and counties.
Our township Fair was for the purpose
of exhibiting the productions and i'm.
provements ofths locality.
Our election passed off quietly. Fiji
teen Republican tickets were scratched
and thirteen Democratic. The result
was. Republican l76, Democrat 81, Ma
tional 5, Prohibition 4. McKinley's ma.
jority 10. Last year the vote was, West
l47, Bishop 66, Greenback 5, Prohibi-
tiop 2.

Let Us Pral,o Thee Mckinley.

The following llck.spittle big mouth OBJ,
sequious illumination is from the RepoS
tory Of yesterday;
We have no disposition to depreCiate
Major McKinley's extreme personal pop
ularity He is every whit worthy of the
lofty estimation in which he is held by
his friends, and has fairly and honestly
won the place which he occupies in the
affections of the people. And yet, his
success was not wholly assured by view
of this relation.
We would not detraCt one iota from
his splendid record either as a brave sol.
dier or q pure and able statesman. The
laurels he has won on the tented field
and in the forum are bright and'fadeless,
but it is not alone to these that he owes
his latest victory, ,-RepoSitOry.
The above piece of nauseating stuff
shows the calibre and manhood of the
big mouth, pigeon-toed, elder menial en-
ployed to edit the feeble Mckinley Or
gan. Big mouth is superserviceable in
his Cringing adulation and efforts to serve
his lord with stufing. Flattery direct
rarely disgusts weak men.
Why, man he doth bestrde the narrow world,
Like colossus, aud we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about,
To find ourselves dishonorable graves.

THE ELECTIONS TUESDAY

Are not discouraging for the Demo
Gratis, as we have carried Indiana and
West Virginia, electing our State ticket
in the former and three Congressman in
the latter. We have lost the State ticket
in Ohio, but have undoubtedly gained
Congressman over our present represen>
taton from this State, securing ten of the
delegation. This year, the contest is for
supremacy in the next House and every
possible influence was brought to bear.
Indiana has done splenddly. The
gallant Hoosiers under the lead of Voo>
hees and Hendricks, came up to the
work nobly, and score a magnificent
showing of Democratic gains. We carry
the State ticket by twelve or fifteen
thousand majority; gain four Congress-
men, making the delegation stand eight
Democrats and five Republicans, instead
ofnine Republicans and four Democrats.
The Legislature is In doubt. Senator
Mcdonald telegraphs that the Nationals
will hold the balance of power. Voor>
hees may win his battle yet.
Iowa has gone Republican as usual by
10000 or so, and the Republicans claim
all the Congressman, as they have now.
