PRESS COMMENTS.
A Glorious Victory.


The Democratic State ticket is elected.
Our dispatches will give our readers all the
information we have as to the majority.
1t is large enough to be emphatic and de-
cisiye, and to sadly discourage those man
aging Republican politicians who have
been conducting the Republican side OF
the campaign with view to fixing them
selves in high places in the future.
The significance Of the result, however,
goes far beyond State or local questions
Coupling the voice of Ohio with the probable
Democratic victory in New York and Penn
sylvania, the eyes of the people look to
Democratic control of the Government at
Washington. The Democratic party OF the
United States was swindled out of the Pres
Iuency to which it elected Tilden in 1876,
and the Presidential election OF 1880 show
ed such close popular balance that we
may we'll look to Democratic control after
1884. The tide has been turning for six
years, and the Democratic flood appears to
be upon us.
Not the least important feature of the
contest in Ohio was the fight for the repre-
sentation in Congress. The Republican
Legislature redristricted the State under the
decennial apportionment with view to
keeping the Democracy in a meagre minor
ity. The gerrymander has been handsome
ly Tebuked.
Altogether, the victory for the Demo
cratic party in Ohio is decided and con.
spicuous and justifies an old-fashioned
Democratic hurrah.

HEAVY ROBBERY.

PONTIAC, October 1.-THE rural district
of Michigan are overrun with thieves, bur-
glars and Villains from Detroit and Chica-
go. Three nights in succession there have
been safe-breakiag and brutal burglarieS in
different parts of this county. This morn
ing between one and two o'clock three bur
glars entered the store of Jossman & Frank,
produce dealers at Clarkston, by prying
open a rear window. They drilled three
eighths hole in the fire-proof safe door, just
over the register knob, picked the lock,
and opened the doors. The contents were
laid carefully out on table, and 500 in
cash, several hundred in notes to bearer,
one gold and one silver watch belonging to
BOSNIAN Il Frank, taken. A rich old far
mer, Thomas s. Bird, had drawer in the
safe, out of which was taken about $4,000
in notes and bonds. No clew to the
thieves.

OF wholesale Massacre by Negroes.
COLUMBUS, GA. October u.-Information
has been received in this city of contem-
plated npFising Of negroes in Lee coanty,
Alabama. A number of families have fed
TO this city and points near here for pro-
lection. 1t is learned that q. trustworthy
negro gave information to Robert Sassart.
The intention af the negroes is to burn the
housesand massacre the whites on Friday
or Saturday The trouble is said to have
grown out of disturbance caused by a.ne-
gro shooting white man some weeks
since. The widest excitement prevails all
over Lee county, particularly around the
CheHay lime works. Reports ceming in
cause some excitement here, yet they are
regarded as much exaggerated, but with
some foundation.
COLUMBUS, GA, October ia special
dispatch from Youngsboro, Ala, the near.
est station to the Chewaycta Lime Works,
says: There is no uprising of negroes in
that section" Other families who reached
this city tonight still say it is expected.

nipuIate the wheat Market ON Large
Scale.
Special Dispatch to the Register,
CHICAGO, October 1.-THE details OF a
stupendous scheme leaked out this after
noon on the Board OF Trade. 1t is alleged
that W. II. Vanderbilt and David DAVIS, OF
New York, Peter Geoch, Kershaw and
others, of Chicago, have formed syndi-
cate with a capital of thirteen millions, to
manipulate year wheat and corner the
Chicago, St Louis, Milwaukee and New
York markets. The plan is to send buyers
through the country to contract for
all actual grain. They can hold it back
force the price to 81 10, and then unload at
high price, rushing in great quantities
and breaking the market, and keep up the
heavy receipts until the longs are shaken
out, and then repeating operations, scalp
ing both ways and realizing enormous pro-
fits. The same syndicate is now operating
in near options to disguise its plans. When
Vanderbilt was here Monday a conference
was held. The operations begun last
month, and the market was heavily OPP
pressed. Vanderbilt, it is said, has twenty
millions uninvested. The money is the
proceeds Of bonds sold and seeking profit

Gloomy Outlook for Republieanism.

Ctnctnhdtl Gdzette, hep.
The autumn elections open badly for the
Republican party. In every part of the
State almost there have been Republican
losses, and even in the Western Reserve
and strong temperance districts the alli'
ance of the Democrats with the liquor in
terest has not been sufficient to save the
Republican party from defeat.
1t is manifest that down at the bottom
there is widespread dissatisfaction The
decentralization of the party in New York
and Pennsylvania had its effects in Ohio,
and while the bosslsm that has split the
party there does not exhist here, the fact
that the party in those States is divided
against itself, and the national administra-
tion being Justly or unjustly made party
to the division, and placed, in public esti-
nation, on the wrong side of it, has its
effect everywhere.
In the canvass, too, it has been found
uphill work TO satisfy the people with the
action of Congress in making extravagant
appropriations and adjourning without re-
moving any portion of the tax burden.

THE STATE.

Fifteen Democratic COngressmen and
twenty-five Thousand Majority.
COLUMBUS, o., October 11.-Additional
election returns are coming in slowly, as
the Republicans are getting no more ad-
vices and are conceding everything but q
few Congressman. Estimates this afternoon
put the Democratic majority in the State
at 25. 900, and make the Congressional dele
CATION stand fifteen Democrats to siN Re
publicans. The election OF Mckinley in
the Eighteenth district and Robinson in
the Ninth are in great doubt, and they
must carry both to get six Congressman.
A peculiar feature of the contest is that
while the Republicans were championing
temperance, the Prohibition vote has great
" increased, and ii is estimated at larger
per cent of gain than the Democrat.
COLUMBUS, O., October 11.-Returns to-
day from the State election of Tuesday
have been meagre, and no systematic effort
has'been made TO figure on the majority on
the State ticket The Democrats, however.

SECOND DISTRICT.

Our returns from the Second District this
morning show that the Democrats have
lost ground. Just what this loss IS, OF
course can not yet be determined, but while
we do not believe 1t will inperil wilson $
chances of success, the falling on Is very
considerable. Mineral, Taylor, Hampshire
and Hardy all report decreased Demo-
cratic vote, and as there was only 2,l57 ma
iority in 1880 in the counties which now
comprise the Second District, it looks as
though the result for day or two, might
be uncertain enough tie be interesting.
