Opinion say about tie Result IN Ohio.
The magnet which drew the disaffcccd TO the
Republican ticket was the unmistaknLlc firmness
OF the party for equal rights in the South. Had
the Republicans taken the highest ground on the
currency, we believe they would have succeeded
equally well and their victory would have had
greafSf values But the significance of the VIC
tory lies fn 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 il wherever it lias gained a
foo,ing-NeW York Tines.
This decisive Republican triumph is of ma
tonaI interest. Besides disposing Of several
prominent Ohio statesmen, it will inspire cour
nge and hope in the Republican party through
out the United States. Even locally it is of con
siderable importance. Ii cxtinguishcs Senator
Thurmans chances of reelection and puts an
end to any lurking aspiration which Ewing may
have had to be Thurman S successor But these
local consequences arc rs dust in the balance.
The great significance of the Ohio election lies
in its influence upon national politics and its
bearing on the selection of candidates and the
success of parties in :he great Presidential con-
test of next year. 1t makes it impossible for the
Democratic candidate to be taken from Ohio, and
favors Tldcns chances of nomination by put
ting some of his principal rivals out Of the field.
But in proportion rs il improves Tidcn's chan.
ccs OF nomination it dimnishcs his chances and
the chances of any Democratic candidate for an
election. If New York should follow the exam
pie of Ohio. Tildcn would simply lose his labor
by intriguing any further for the Democratic
nomination, and he may prefer that some other
candidate should lead the fororn hope. The re-
suit ia Ohio tends to n Republican success in
New York, and should this bo tho actual effect,
Tilden may bid long farewell to Presidential
honors.-New lIork HcrGM
All that can be asserted positively Of the re-
suit in Ohio Today is that the Republicans have
failed TO take that great Commonwealth out of
the wavering line Of States doubtful for 1880
ind to plant it, rs they hoped to plant it, in the
van Of the Republican column, where of old ii
used to stand. Mr.. Blaine stanls on as fair
footing to day in Maine as Mr.. Sherman in Ohio
Mr.. Ewing has been beaten, as he elected to be
when at the outset of his canvass he deliberate
ly abandoned the strong ground of an outright
Democratic protest against the votes of Prcsi-
dent Hayes, and undertook to counter with his
own financial theories the stniwart fncts of n
magnificent harvest in the West, of unparal
leled crops ut the South and of an intlowing
tide of gold from Europe. 1t appears, even
from the partial reports go far received, TINT the
Democratic candidate in Ohio owes his defeat
