The outcome of the municipal
elections in Ohio, though not so ia.
vorable TO the Democrats dis was AT
first reported, is, however, not If a
disheartening character, nor does 1t
afford any basis from which to pred
icate a Republican tidal wave
Both parties experienced gains and
losses, but most Of the changes are
directly traceable to the disturbing
Influence of the. Nationals, WHO
helped to draw off strength from the
Democracy, without any advantage
TO themselves except in the solitary
victory at Toledo. Whether they
will. persist in a similarly fatnous
course at the coming State election
remains 10 be seen.
For some weeks before the organi-
zationof the House at Washington,
and in a less conspicuous degree ever
since, Republican journals have fon-
died and caressed the Nationals with
surprising tenderness. With ex-
treme Greenback theories fast diving
out, the Radical managers wish to
reviyeand foster them in an indie.
pendent party movement, hoping
thereby TO weaken Democratic pros
poets in the close and doubtful states.
The promoters of this scheme are
sorely annoyed at the announcement
that the Democratic and National
State Conventions in Ohio are to be
held at the same time and place two
month hence. Should the two par.
ties coalesce and nominate single
ticket, it is generally conceded that
they will carry the State election
without serions difficulty. Will
they unite2 is the all-important
question. IT is well known that
since resumption became an estab.
lishcd fact, the pape-money craze, in
all its widest aspects, has vanished,
aud the Nationals now bestow their
chief attention on industrial and la
Dor topics. So far as these are con-
cerned, they know that much more
is to be expected from Democratic
than from Republican legislation;
consequently they are liable TO take
the practical view that it is better TO
gain something than risk the restor.
alton of their enemies to power.
During the next two months the
steady aim of Radical organs will be
to encourage u third-party movement
in Ohio. Afterwaid, should; this
effort fail, they will labor strenuou<ly
to show that the "demagogues" have
swallowed the Democracy. However,
it will not be very severe task to
defeat the Republicans in Ohio this
year, if there are only two tickets in
the field. AS the New York Star
suggests, so many citizens of that
State have been appointed to office
all over the country by Mr.. Hayes,
that the ranks OF the party are more
than decimated.-Std Democrat.

ductcd from the claims of the recipients
and the receipts therefor to be sent to Mr.
Manni1, the assignee.
'Third-That the pastors not present at

above proposed, and to further it to the
best OF their ability in their several congre-
cations"

All the reverend gentlemen present

churches represented.
A letter was received from Cardinal

will be taken TO procure individual sub
scriptions from wealthy persons OF New
