OHIO'S DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY
BETWEEN $4,000 AND
10000 NOW, AND STILL. GROWING.
Ssxteen Democratic Congressmen Gut of
Twenty-Ono Certainly Elecred With
Several Back Districts Yet to
Hear ErOm.
Tho Triumph Complete.

As the returns from Ohio come in the
Democratic majority increases. The Dem
Ocrats are claiming the state by from
$4,000 to 80, 900 majority and the Repub-
licans are inclined to concede something
like 20, 900. The returns show that the
Republicans were entirely at sea on all
their calculations. They had carefully
figured it out that their ::nly losses would
be in the cities, where the German vote is
strong, and they confidently expected to
get the bulk of the Prohibition vote 1t
seems, however. that the Prohibitionists
would not trust either party and the in
dications are that they have not only
stuck solidly by their ticket, but have
gained considerable vote. The temper
ance issue raised by Governor Foster
therefore worked disadvantageously to
the Republican party. 1t not only lost
them the German vote, but it increased the
Prohibition vote materially.
The Democrats gain all through the
country. where the liquor question mad nu
effect whatever as an issue. The honest
country people have recorded their votes
against the Stalwartism Of the Arthur
Malone Chalmers administration. They
could not forget the shame which this
combination has brought upon the party
siuce the death of Garfield, and they have
stamped their protest not only upon the
face of tho state ticket, but upon the con-
gressioDal tickets rs we'll. Tho Democrats
have thus made a great gain Of congress
men, and Chairman Nash, Of the Repub-
lican state committee, figured it out last
night that he eau put down for sure only
five Republican congressman, just the
number Of Democrats in the present dele
cation.
The retarns from the congressional dis
tricts indicate that the Democrats have
elected 1G congressman and the Republ;-
cans five, as follows. Present merlb bers
are marked with an astelisk (*l:

where the enemy are demoralized and
breaking, while the Democratic hosts are
moving forward in solid column.
The comets tail must have been at
work in the Buckeye state on Tuesday, and
judging from the latest returns from the
election the heavenly visitor concluded he
might jus. as we'll make clean sweep
while he was at il.
THERE appears to be no doubt that the
comet has broken into several pieces, one
of which struck the Stalwarts of Ohio and
knocked Them into a cooked hat. Penn
sylvania, New York and New Jersey are
in line with the remaining fragments.
SPEAKER KEIFER was heard softly
chanting late on Tuesday night: s'I'm
'',ne!g to-night, love, without you." It is
supposed the words Were dedicated to
Bittcrworsh. the blac,sguard CT he House
of Representatives who has been spurncd
by the honest people of Cincinnati.
We view with alarm the recklessnass
which pervades every department OF the
Federal government, while recent start
ling exposures Of fraud and corruption
show that a change Of administration is
impcratively needed.-Rep. Nat. Platform

THE Stalwarts in New York are char
monizing" the party by openly "boy-
cotting" this oldest Republican news
paper in the state. the Albany Journal
founded by Thurlow Weed, because it will
not surrender to them. Bull-dozer Smyth
is making votes for Cleveland by tn 9
thousand.
AS the returns from the Ohio election
continue to come in, it is seen that the ex.
tent of the Democratic victory is even
wider than had been expected from the
earlier reports. The majority on the
state ticket is upwards of 10000, the
election of sixteen congressman practically
assured, and in every particular tho tri.
umph is as complete as the most ardent
Democrat could wish.

With the introduction ofrailways, and
with the establishment of class Of
shops in London unknown to our grand
fathers and grandmOthers, great deal
of the business that once flowed into
our county towns has been diverted to
the Metropolis. The ladies of the coun-

local mercer. The gentlemen deal with
London tailors. Much OF the wine,
teas, and even groceries, which is con-
