cratic State Committee cOncede a Re
publican majority in the House OF Rep

State Committee, SNOW that i'm addition
10 the list Of Senators sent at noon, the
Republicans have elected Sinks IN the
Thirl district and Mounts in the Second

Chambers in the Fifteenth district.
This gives the Republicans % Senator's
and 67 Representatives, or Is majority
on Joint ballot. The Democratic Com

The Enquirer on the Result
Cincinnati Enquirer Of Yesterday.
IL is too early TO saw TO what this re-
suit is due. II is not too early TO say
that il is not due 10 the currency ques-
ton. In 1879, when William Allen
was beaten, he was not beaten by the
Democratic position upon the currency,
hut bv fllsehOOds touching the Common
Schools and religion; and in that contest
the Democrats were in a minority Of
only five thousand. THIS year the cur
rency question has been 10 q large de
Gree. avoided, and the fal~ehoOdS this
time have related 10 ScctiOnalISm, to the
skull and crOSS-bOneS, % the bloody
shirt. To the gospel Of hate.
After the defeat in Ohio in 1910,
the Democratic party in 1876 elected a
President. The result in Ohio this year
does not make improbable or difficult
the election Of a Democratic President
i'm 1880. Ohio was Republican in 1870,
in 1876. i'm 1878 and is Republican in
1879. Republicans have bOaSted of this
State as a Republican State; and this
wear the effort to keep il Republican was
tremendous. Patronage, money, one
President and two Presidential candi-
dates the special measures of the Ma
tional banks, all came To the State 10
keep it Republican. The Republicans
could not afford to lose it the Democrats
can.
