THE ELECTIONS ON TUEsDAY-Thc Re
publicans in Ohio. on Tuesday elected their
candidate for Governor Hon. Charles Foster,
by majority of perhaps 10000. They have
also secured majority of the Legislature
The Republicans have also carried Iowa,
clecting j. ii. Gear, their candidate for Gov
crnor, by large majority.
The result in Ohio was by no means sur
prise to the Democrats. The State is always
close, with Republican lcanings. Besides,
President Hayes and Secretary Sherman were
both deeply interested in the success of the
Republican ticket, and all the patronage and
influence ofthc administration, and thousands
of dollars wrung from federal Office holders
were used to promote Republican Success
Since the organization of the Republican par
ty the Democrats have hut twice elected n
Governor in Ohio, and only four times with
in that quarter of century have they carried
the State at all. When General Ewing I'M
dcrtook to make his campaign on financial
issues instead of the strong ground OF Demo
cratic protest against military at the polls, he
committed an objectionable error, and the
result is defeat
Iowa was set down in advance for the Re
pubiCans.
