TIE PLEASURES or HOPE.

A great connection IS perceptOle among the
Democratic Presidential aspirants, caused by
the result in Ohio. There is not Democrat
IN the country who does not believe that his
marty is certain to control the next Congress-
elect the next President and secure complete
possession of the Government and It's patron
age. This belief has acted upon the Presiden-
tal candidates of the party like a galvanic
battery upon defunct frog. They are all
jumping and quiveGng with excitement. The
venerable Mr.. Thurman in Ohio is sure that the
vote CT Tuesday is a bugle-call for him to
emerge from retirement and assume the con-
irol of the helm of State. Mr.. Pcndleton smiles
upon him in a superior manner, speaks OF his
belief as the harmless delusion of an old
man, and remarks cOntdentially: Between
"you and me- | am the man whom ONO called to
"the front last Tuesday" But Mr.. Humans
friends hasten to say that the victory was
by John G.. Thompson, who threw the Rtpub-
leans Oft their guard by refraining, for the
first time in his life, from claiming" every
thing, and that Mr.. Thompson is first last and
all the time devoted to Mr.. Thurman and
opposed to Mr.. Pendleton. We do not pre-
tend to decide this delicate question. Suffice
it now to chronicle the fact that both dis
tlnTUlSlleu IL are III Il COuultlOu Vi CACth-
sive political agitation.
Bnt the revivifying effects of the Ohio vic
tory are by no means limited to the Ohio states
men. Mr.. Hendricks has received violent
shock in Indiana, and the State is scarcely
large enough to contain the straddle which was
its immediate consequence. He is absolutely
certain that he was the man whom the people of
Ohio shouted for "Did not they vote that the
"liduor interests should be allowed to have
"their own way without interference 2" he
asks "And is not that what have advocated
ain Indiana7 An | not the author of the
"famous Hendricks rum straddle in the indi
Jana Democratic platform, wherein it is de-
"clared that are III favor of allowing the
@people to decide the question for themselves
" but are against giving them chance to do it
"That is the kind of craftsmanship the country
"yearns for and | am the greatest expert in it
"that this country has ever produced" These
seem to be facts. That is the kind of man
Hendricks is. He is so sure of it that he has
already carried Indiana in November and we
should not he at all surprised to hear that he
had begun work already on his inaugural
address There is nothing diatOry about
Hendricks. He always runs for the Presi-
IL
lie has our best wishes as usual
In this State the disturbance, especially in the
vicinity of Buffalo, is very marked. Several of
Mr.. Grover Cleveands admring townsmen
have elected him already both to the Govern
orship of New-Yorll and to the Presidency of
the United States. He himself has been some
what impressed by belief that the shouts
from Ohio took the form of the word Cleve-
land" and has resolved as preliminary PEE
caution to take an extra grip upon his tongue.
Several anxious and hungry Democratic states
men who have been out OF Il Job for many
years are examining Mr.. Cleveland's face and
calculating his powers OF resistance To impor-
tunity, while at the same time they run over
the list of tat Federal offices and try to decide
which would suit them best. General Hancock
views these demonstrations with considerable
emotion, but consoles himself with the redec-
ton that Cleveland has yet to make his tariff
record and may get tripped on that. What
the emotions OF Mr.. Tilden, Mr.. Seymour and
the other veterans are, we do not venture to
depict. 1t must drift across Mr.. Tilden's
mind now and then that his party took most
uncompmentary bound upward Immediately
upon the removal of his mortgage from it's
back.
In Pennsylvania there is also commotion,
but of slightly different sort. Mr.. Pattison,
the Democratic candidate for Governor, who,
if elected, will owe his success to Boss Cam
erons blundenng, is too young to be Presi-
DENTAL candidate. This fact strikes the Hon.
Samuel j. Randall as Providential dispersal
ton, and he knows precisely what it portends
