NEWSPAPER COMMENTS.
NOTHING BUT NEW YORK TO LOOK TO.
louisville Courier-Journal.

This result ought to satisfy Democrats of the
folly of financial equivocation. 1t shows con-
clusively that the "Ohio idea'' socalled, is, and
has always been delusion and snare.
Ewing was its strongest expression; Thurman
it's most respectable advocate. Both are re-
tired. One is beaten for Governor, and the
other loses his seat in the Senate. 1t is too bad
that such able and serviceable men should be
sacrificed to such blunder.
Democrats have now nothing but New York
to look to. If we lose New York, Little less
than a miracle will save us. We may as well
take matters as they are and consider them
from practical standpoint. We cannot afford
to deceive ourselves.
STATE RIGHTS DEAD.
Chicago Times.
The result is sufficiently clear as to the way
the political wind blows. State sovereignty
will be more unpopular now than it has ever
been before. Some of the Democratic polite
ians will even suddenly learn, perhaps, that
they have always been in favor of national
supremacy. The example of the Wisconsin
Democrats in turning cold shoulder to the
confederate brigadiers, and condemning,
through the mouth of their standard bearer,
the bulldosing policy of the solid South, will
be initiated on all sides.
THE GERMANS RESPONSIBLE.
New York World.l
It appears, even from the partial reports SO
far received, that the Democratic candidate in
Ohio owes his defeat chiefly to the stern hostil-
ity provoked among the German born Demo.
Gratis of Hamilton county by its financial here
sizes. That the defeat of the Democratic party
in Ohio, thus invited from the outset, should
have fallen short, as it has, of a complete dis
astc1, proves at once how great an opportunity
lies before us to be improved in the East.
REcoNC1LED TO DEFEAT.
New York Sum-
The returns from Ohio indicate the election
of Charles Foster, the money-loving trader,
who stayed at home and kept store during the
war, while his opponent, the brave Gen. Ewing,
was risking his life fighting the battles of his
country. While, however, Gen. Ewing was
put forward as the Democratic candidate, he
was known as candidate of soft money, and
of the oppressive, inquisitorial, unconstitu-
tional income tax. The circu instance that he
held to such unsound and odious doctrines
goes far to reconcile US to his defeat.
SOUTHERN OUTRAGEs.
New York Times.l
g. The sober sense of the people recognized that
the only real danger to the suffrage came from
the party which tolerated the murderers of
Republican vote of the United States, and to
the door of who Sc candidacy for the Presidency
was traced the crime, hitherto unheard of, of
trying to obtain the P residential Office by the
grossest corruption. Had the Republicans
taken the highest ground on the ecurrency, we
believe that they would have succeeded equally
WE'LL and that their victory would have had
greater value. But the significance of the vic
tory lies in the evidence which it affords that
the people of Ohio, fairly representing the peo-
pie of the North, are thoroughly aroused as to
the tendency of Democratic rule, and are re-
solved to overthrow it wherever it has gained q
footing.
THURMAN's GREAT MISTAKE.
Cincinnati Commercial. ....
Senator Thurman made the mistake of his
life when he consented to submit to the soft
money fanatics who had been the bitterest of
his enemies. He could not save them from
the fate their policy had prepared, and he not
only lost his own cause, but the chance to save
his party. We expect as the result Of this vic
tory at least slight and temporary reduction
of stealings in this part of the country, but
the requisite for making this reduction per-
manent is the same the price of liberty
eternal vigilance.
THE PEOPLE TO BE TRUSTED.
cincinnati Gazette
In many severe contests it has always proved
safe to trust the patriotic and intelligent pei
pie of this great commonwealth. Yesterday
was no exception to the rule, and Ohio having
once again rendered verdict that is as great
as it is emphatic, it only remains for those Re-
publicans who were calculating for q slender
majority, and who alternated between fear and
hope, to apologize to the people they seemed to
distrust.
GRANT BOOM.
ISt. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Taking all things into consideration, es-
pecially the fact that Ohio is a soldier State,
and that the head of the Republican ticket
was civilian, while the head Of the Demo.
cratic ticket was a soldier, the returns are not
only gratifying but almost marvellous. Ohio
is no longer doubtful State for the contest of
1850. yShe sets her face sternly against repudia-
ton and rebel brigadiers. who had gained as
tendency as the governing force of the Demo-
cratic party. The issue that will prevail next
year, the bloody shirt, played an important
part in it. Long may it wave! Ohio may be
| put down for majority of 10000 for Grant
| next year.
