TUESDAYS ELECTION.

an important event in politics, have dwin-
died now to elections only in Ohio and
West Virginia, and these occur on Tuesday
next, October 10. The great state of Penn
sylvania was first to take itself out of the
October column, and has been followed by
Indiana and Iowa. The tendency, which
of late years has been to transfer even
New Hampshire and Connecticut from
spring elections to the list of November
states and to bring on all elections for
congress on one date biennally, takes
from the interest with which the earlier
elections used to be regarded. AS West
Virginia is not debatable ground, Ohio re-
mains the one October state in which poll
ticians have an abiding interest. Ohio
once voted upon the proposition to change
the state election to November, and de-
cided not to lose its conspicuity in the No
vember meeting. Ohio public men have
had Fictitious importance, because of
the position of the state as an early indi-
Gator of the popular drift, and they were
unwilling to surrender an important po-
sition now substantially unique. The prom
inence of the Ohio man in politics is due
largely to the fact that its October election
compels attention to its canvass, and the
professional politician fourishes there as
nowhere else because it is always battle
ground to which the sinews of war are
forwarded from every portion of the
union.
Ohio has been Republican state fol
twenty years. The Democrats have once
in a great while elected a governor or Sc.
cured the Legislature, whereby the election
of senator was possible, but its electoral
vote has invariably been cast for the can
didate of the Republican party. The cleo
ton this fall will be significant as indi
eating whether the German Republicans
alarmed at the Republican tendency te
prohibition and austers Sabbath observ
ances, will go to the Democratic camp, and
| if so, in what numbers. Also, whether
this detection, which, if it occur, will b.
noticeable in the returns from the city
districts, chiefly Cincinnati, is wholly o.
in part counteracted by Democratic votes
in the rural regions given to support Gov
Fosters party, which has declared the Ger
mans free beer and no Sunday people
| If the Republicans win, prohibition as
political question will advance many steps
| in Ohio as we'll as in other states. If they
lose by a decided majority, it will receive
| a check.
