HOW Is 1T IN OHIO?

Last fall the vote was: Foster (Repub-
lican) 336,261; Ewing Oemocrat) S19,132
Stewart (Greenback) 4,1t5; Piatt Temper
ance) 9,O72; Hood Independently SAT. The
Republicans claim vote this year of 70O,-
OcO and majority of 10000. Garfield, it is
needless to say, halls from Ohio, and this
ought to influence in his favor, but they say,
where he is best known he is weakest. He
has been repudiated in his own district in
public assemblies. But following presidents,
the Republicans may carry Ohio in
October. Should they fail to
do this, the Presidential contest
is ended and Hancock elected. Fosters
majority over Ewing was 1900 in round
numbers. Should the Republicans fall short
of this in October it will be equivalent to Q
defeat. Should the Democrats reduce the
majority to four or five thousand or less,
then it will be morally certain that the DEM
ocratic Presidential ticket will carry the
State in November. The prospect is en-
couraging in Ohio, as all over the country.
Organization and work are needed. There
never has been such an opportunity for sue
cess. Whether it will be frittered away re-
mains to be seen. The man or clique willing
to sacrifice national success to local griev
ances should be ostracised forever. Let the
party be united everywhere; let every man
do his duty. Victory will be the reward.
