All the dispatches from Ohio show that
the interest in the election of yesterday
was intense and the vote polled was
amongthe largest ever known in the State.
This is greatly due to the importance
Of the general issues involved, and par.
TALLY to the effect which the result of the
election was expected to have upon the
personal fortunes of distinguished men,
especially in the Democratic party
The campaign, SO far as the pualic dis.
cussion went, has been almost as com.
pletely national in its character as Ii
representatives in Congress, or even
Presidential electors, were to have been
chosen. On the Republican side great
prominence has been given to the South
ern questions. Although Mr.. Foster was
intimately connected with the earlier eff
forts of Mr. Hayes to give new complex.
ion to the Southern policy Of the gov
ernment, neither he nor his friends have
hesitated to occupy the moss 'stalwartn
ground. In fact, Mr.. Sherman, who 70
regarded as the political sponsor OF ar.
Foster, has gone as far as any ono cs:pld
60 in advocating tho views which the
EXTREMIST Republican critics of tho Ad-
ministration have advanced, and MFR.
Schurz, who has been the most intelli.
gent of the Presidents advisers ia South.
ern matters, gave more temperate and IA.
tional, but not less emphatic support to
the doctrine that the only remedy for
the evils with which tho South threatens
the country was decided Republican
sentiment in the North. The magnet
which drew the disaffected to the Repub-
lican ticket was the unmistakable firm
ness OF the party for equal rights in the
South. Had the Republicans taken the
highest ground on the currency, we be-
lieve they would have succeeded equally
well, and their victory would have had
greater value. But the significance of

This decisive Republican trump is of
national interest. Besides disposing Of
several prominent Ohio statesmen, It will
inspire courage and hope in the Repub-
lican party throughout the United States
Even locally it is of considerable impor.

cessor. But these local consequences are
as dust in the balance. The great eig-
niiicance of the Ohio election liea in its
innuence upon nationa! politics and its
bearing on the selection Of candidates
and the succecs of parties in the great
Presidential contest of next year. It
makes It impossible for the Democratic
candidate to be taken from Ohio, and fa-
vors Tilden's chances of nomination by
putting some of his principal rivals out
OF the field. But in proportion as it i'm
proves Tilden's chances Of nomination it
d.minishes his chances and the chances
of any Democratic candidate for an elec-
tion. Tilden Ia shrewd calculator, and
it may turn ont that he will not coyet the
nomination after the smoke has lifted
from the preliminary battles of the pre-.
sent year. If New York should follow
the example of Ohio, Tilden would SIM
ply lose his labor by intriguing any inr-
ther for the Democratic nomination, and
he may prefer that some other candidate
should lead tho foriorn hops. The result
In Ohio tends to Republican euccess in
New York. and should this be the. actual
effect, Tilden may bid long farewell to
Presidential honors.

This is disheartening intelligence. We
had hoped, even when it was evident
that Foster had been elected to the Gov
ornorship that the Legislature would
turn out to have Democratic majority
on joint ballot, and the fact that the rs.
verse is really true is what makes It q
serious disappointment. The result is
probably due, more than anything else,
to the unfortunate stand of Gen. EwinE
on the financial questions. The people
Of Ohio evidently do not believe in soft
money. On the whole We think il ID
about time for the Democratic party to
recognize the fact that this is q, hard
money eonntry. Let it return 30 its old
time principles and act, in every instance,
accordingly. D, afs
