The Western Victory.

The Republican victory in Ohio is unex-
pected in its magnitude. Fosters majority,
according to present indications, is over 3d.
600 and may reach 10000, and there is every
probability that the Republicans have car
ried the Legislature, thus securing United
States Senator in place of Mr.. Thurman,
whose demagoguery and abandonment of
principles bring upon him the just censure
of the people Of his state. The triumph is
sweeping one, the gains are large and uni
form, and the political status of Ohio next
year is established. The victory in Iowa is
quite as gratifying though not as unex-
pected.
The lesson of the Western elections is
patent and needs no glaze. 1t teaches that
the people will not longer tolerate the soft
money heresy, and that they are apprehen-
-sive of the purposes of the Southern leaders
as indicated by the attempted legislation by
Congress, and the accomplished violence in
the Southern States. 1t is evident, too,
that the Republican party is once more
united and that in next years contest its
usefulness will not be impaired and its sue
cess endangered by considerable dissensions.
An analysis of the full returns when they
are received may furnish further teachings.
But the great lesson of the victory is set
forth above

DEMOCRATIC discipline in New York is OF
the old-fashioned sort once well known in
Maine. Among other things the Tammany
men bring these charges against Robinson;
The Governor, to secure his hold for politi-
cal purposes over his appointees in the Govern
ment, and over their patronage and power, mas
required and received from each his reslgna-
ton of his office-the date in blank-to be acted
upon whenever he should determine BY this
proceeding the officers have become mere tools
in the Governors hands. How tins system
operates has been witnessed in the dlsgracefui
transactions revealed relating to the removai
of the able and experienced officers, the war
dens of the Auburn and Clinton Prisons, and
the appointment in the place of each OF politl-
cal instruments pledged to the Tiiden interest.
Subordinate offices and employees in other de-
partments have had like experience, so that
now every officer and employe in the Govern
ment over whom the Governor has any control
understands that political fidelity to the Illden
power is the primary duty demanded OF them,
and not the public interest. This is specially
so as to the employees under the Commissioner
is from Franklin County, and was appointed
at the instance of Smith M. Weed, although
entirely ignorant of anything pertaining to the
canals. The amendment to the Constitution
providing for the appointment OF Commls-
sioner of Public Works was promoted and
adopted in the expectation that under its pro-
visions the canal management would be re-
moved from the sphere of politics. While pro-
Tossing anxiety to carry out this provision, Gov
ernor Robinson has been and still is IN receipt
of letters from Mr.. Tilden asking that the ca
ual patronage be used for specified political
purposes, which requests are always complied
with.

The Way Of the W orld.

The editor was sitting in his sanctum, when
a man laboring under considerable apparent
excitement walked in, with the paper In his
hand, and pointing to a small paragraph, read;
"The genial Colonel Mumblechock thinks Oh

;ov a nleasant trip, is the wish of his many

right. My local reporter is quite enterprising
in his pursuit Of news"
"But never gave him permission to use my
name in this manner" persisted the colonel.

going East, amt you?''
Certainly"
"And you haven't any objection to your
friends wishing you pleasant trip"
That's all right, but don't want my name
in the paper, aud in future you will oblige me
by leaving it out"
"Of course" said the editor, II you desire
it," and the colonel bowed himself stittiy out.
''John" said the editor to his Office boy, 1cl-
low that man and see where he goes, and come
back and report"
John did as he was requested, and shortly
after he came back and reported that Colonel
Mumblechock went to the counting-room and
bought twenty-five papers, which, after mark
ing something in them he ordered to be put
in wrappers, and was busy in directing them

very strong language when they speak OF
Mr.. Tilden. Here is Mr.. Leon Talcott,
prominent local leader, giving it as his de-

fraud that ever aspired to the Presidency or
cursed party" A ''hideous fraud'' is
very improper name to apply to Mr.. Tilden.

THE wicked and waggish st. Louis Glote,
thus Eliminates Southern Democratic
metaphor: Mr.. Pat Donan, one OF the
Democratic lights of the Southwest, fearful
ly remarks to an interviewer that Gen.
Grant, as to the forthcoming Presidential
contest, holds San Arkansas hand" and he
volunteers the explanation that "an
Arkansas hand' consists of four aces and
Bowie-knife. We presume this is very
strong metaphor, but being unversed in the
technology of gaming cards, from which we
presume the fecund imagination of Mr
Donan borrows it, we can not comprehend
its full import and significance. The editor
of great religious daily can not be presum-
ed to be familiar with such matters; but we
should say, without knowing anything about
the four aces, that four aces and Bowie
knife would be very hard to beat, especially
if the Bowie-knife were well handled.

THE New York Tribune is teaching truth
by parable. 1t says: One year ago this
week the cipher barrel was exploded in the
reform citadel of the Democratic party.
From the dust and smoke there issued forth
that famous band of coparceners, Moses
Israel Manton Marble, Col. William Tilden
Denmark Pelton, Smith Meade Whip Weed,
G. W. Fox Woolley, John F. Max Coyie. and
Peruse Socinian Peri Perry Smith. The
first three appeared bearing the Ark and
Shechinah, but so soon as the gaze OF the
public met them Moses dropped his end has
tily lifted the lid of the Ark, and scrabbling
in slammed it down after him. Weed and
Pelton looked after him in eontemptuous
manner and walked away. Subsequently
Moses put his head out long enough to make
a denial which convinced everybody OF his
guilt, and sneaked back again. Finally
he was dragged out by summons from
Congressional committee, and with the 9TH
er coparceners, confessed his own guilt and
unanimously demonstrated that Tilden was
an Innocent. That was a supreme moment
for reform. The present contest is another.
