Fosters energetic canvass, nor Of the Ia.
borS Of any one man, however able and
sincere. It Is not the result Of the sher.
man boom, ,norofthe Grant boon, nor ofthe
Blaine boom, nor Of the Hayes. All these
currents in the campaign have had their
effect, no doubt, but the one mighty cause
has been the profound conviction Of the
people that the interests OF the country
would not be safe for the next four years
in Democratic hands. The Republicans Of
Ohio have put the initiation and shot gun

Legislature and All.

The returns received indicate that the
Republicans have swept the platter clean
in Ohio. They probably have the Legisla-
ture as well as the Governorship. This
insures the political extinction Of Thurman
as Presidential aspirant, and sends him
into private life after the 4th Of March,
1881. 1t is quite possible that
Gen. Garfield will be his successor in the
United States Senate, and certainly there
is no man in Ohio whom the Republicans
who heard his magnificent speech over at
Etnaville would rather see filling that
high position than glorious Gen. Garfield.

OHIO ELECTION. Ia Clean Sweep

Special to the IntOlligencer.
CINCINNATI, O., October IA.
The day has been q pleasant one all
over the State and the largest vote ever
polIed was cast, probably nearly 100000.
The returns have steadily indicated Re.
pubIicans gains, and at this hour, mid.
night, the indications are that Fosters
majority is 25,OOO to 10000. and may
reach 10000, which almost necessarily i'm.
plies a Republican Legislature, insuring a
Republican Senator in theplace Of Thur.
man.
But 0 out of 05 precincts in Hamilton
county have been heard from, in all OF
which are good Republican gains. The
indications are that the Legislative ticket
from Hamilton county is elected by a ma
iority of $500. In Cleveland the Re.
publican majority is about 5000, with
full county ticket elected. There are no
returns from any other large cities yet in.
at half.past 10 o'clock the Democratic
headquarters in Columbus we're closed up,
and the democrats had gone home sick,
while the republicans were wild with ex.
citement. The election Of republican
Legislature insures a complete redemption
OF the State from democratic rule, and
restoration OF the Congressional Districts
as they were before the democratic gerry
mander that enables them to send demo.
cratic delegation to Congress. AS COM
pared with the vote of 1877 it, represents
a change Of about $4,000 votes, and is the
greatest republican victory since 1872.

that the Republicans have failed to take
that great commonwealth out Of the wa

plant it as they hoped to plant 1t

orally well informed politicians that in
January, Waddington, President Of the
Council OF State and Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, and LeRoyer, Minister Of Justice,

The Great Boom.

The grand old State Of Ohio, the State
,b,, was consecrated to freedom by the
ordinance Of 1887, has not deserted her
principles in the great struggle that has
i,,, closed within her borders. On the
contrary, she has given to the country
pps and indubitable proof that when the
rea, results Of the war are in the slightest
degree put in peril by the reactionary
tendencies Of the Democratic party, she
can always be counted on to come to the
front, as he did in the war, and seize the
Standard of Republican principles and
bear them on to victory. Glorious Ohio!
She deserves to be, as she is, the pivotal
State of tho North. We do not rely on
her in vain. She has lead tho column in
this great preliminary battle Of the Presi-
leacy. She has fully turned the tide
lglinst every species ofrevolution, and she
has put the seal Of her condemnation
On the Sa2s !t jEAts 8. hsresies q the rebel
brisldiers aud the financial vagaries OF
Ewing. She has declared that she will
take no steps backward, and that no trick
ol the politicians by which two soldiers
were put forward to seduce her
allegiance from the great doctrine
Of E supreme nationality and sound
currency, will win. She has declared in
favor of the National election laws and
against all bull.doziug at the polls. She
has served notice on the caucus that con-
troIed the Democratic party at Washing
ton, aud that attempted to stop the wheels
Of the government in order to coerce the
President thut no such high handed game
can win in this country.
The Democracy have received, as they
richly deserved, asound drubbing. They
may be able to consolidate and carry the
Solid South by coercion and fraud, but
they can not ride rough shod in that way
over the free. people OF the North. As
each State votes their doings will be repu.
dated
New York and Pennsylvania will soon
blow Ohio, and they, too, will put the
seal Of their condemnation on the un-
sound aud unsafe tendencies OF the party
oireaction.
The victory in Ohio yesterday is one Of
the grandest occurrences since the war.
It opens the way to a great Re-
publican triumph next year. All
that now devolves upon the
pIrtyis to choose wisely as to leadership,
and to adhere firmly to the sound politi.
cal and financial principles that have dis.
ungutshed President Hayes wise admins

The Case Of VIM. F. Taylor, OF Green.
brIer.
In regard to the case OF this man, who
has recently suffered severe loss from in
cendiary fires, and who has lodged iur-
NAL complaint in relation thereto with
the law officer of the Government at
Washington, Judge and ex-Auditor ]. N.
McWhorter (well known here in Wheel
ing) writes as follows to the Cincinnati
Commercial:
l am sure injustice is done the people
OF this county in the attempt to create the
impression that this wanton destruction
OF his property was the result OF preju-
dice against him on account OF his nativity
or his politics, ond also in the assertion
that those in authority refused to cooper
ate with him in making an arrest. There
may have been some persons in the vicin-
ity who did not like Mr.. T., but he was
generally regarded as a benefactor to his
community.
AS TO his politics, he took no part in
elections, and although he had been in
the county ior several years, l had not
heard, until about one year ego, to what
political party he adhered. It Is deplor.
ably true that this county is largely Demo.
cratic, yet Republicans are free to discuss
and advocate their political principles with.
out fear OF molestation. We have quite a
number OF Northern States citizens, re-.
sidents with US, who are Republicans poll.
tically, and take part, land wish we had
more OF them,) and who are undisturbed
and have no fears OF 1t on account OF either
their nativity or political affiliations.
Every good citizen of West Virginia
will rejoice to know that Taylor has prob.
ably misconceived the animus Of those
who have done him great injury. 1t Ger.
tainly is not encouraging to those who
wish to sec immigrants coming into the
State to bc under the apprehension that
there is any part Of the soil Of West Vir.
ginia where settler would be dealt with
as Taylor affirms that he has been, for
opinions sake. 1t is too late in the history
Of the country for such an occurrence to
take place on our soil. 1t would not only
be a great disgrace, but a great injury to
us in every point Of view. We are Of the
opinion that Judge McWhorter under.
stands the case and has given correct
version OF it.

On the whole vote they we're in min, ity
of 20.
Bridgeport precinct has also covered
herself with glory. She shows a gain of
103 in her Republican vote and, gai, Of
% in her majority over Paige last year.
The total vote this year is 6SS as against
5l2 last year. This shows what can be
done on full vote. The history OF the
township is that in proportion as the ag-
gregate vote is increased the Republican
majority is likewise increased. Great
credit is due to the earnest men
over there who for several weeks past
have devoted themselves untiringly to
the work OF securing this grand result. 1t
has in all probability given us Belmont
County. This is certainly grand achieve
ment. We venture that no township in
the county has equalled the exploit of
Pease yesterday.

CLEVELAND, O., October IA, 1870.
The day was in all respects favorable to
a full Republican vote, no signs Of rain or
storm being apparent. In Cleveland the
feeling was earnest and intense on both
sides, but the election passed of with the
utmost quietness. Each side made use Of
the new anti.bnbery law to watch each
other, and a pure election in high de-
gree is the probable result. 1t is almost
certain that Cuyahoga county has gone
solidly Republican, and has elected her
whole legislative and county ticket. The
whole Reserve is undoubtedly Republi-
can, although definite figures arc not at
hand. Republican gains are reported on
all sides. The National vote has greatly
decreased in this section. Official figures
may give the Democrats one or two Candi-
dates on the county ticket, but the legisla-
tive ticket, which is counted of far more
Importance, is surely Republican, and
the majority may range anywhere from
1000 to 5000. LEADER.
