MURAT HALSTEAD MAD.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.-Mr. Halstesd
of the Commercial attrioutas the disas,
tel to the interference of Gov. Foster
and Richard Smith whereby the Ger
man republicans were alienated. He
says the Germans have always been
the old guard of the republican
party IN Ohio. No issue has
ever been successfully met in Ohio
without their aid, and none ever will
be. The whole trouble was hatched
by meddling people who had nothing
to say and who would at another time
impale the party on the issue of wo-
mans suffrage if nothing better could
be found. He had no hesitation in
denouncing the leaders of the anti
German issue as responsible for this
crushing defeat
WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC " ENQUIRER -
SAYS.
The Enquirer will claim ifteen con-
gressmen In Ohio. AS to majorities it
does not mention estimates, but refers
freely editorially to its telegrams. 1t
will say the victory is decisive, over
whelning, that it disposes of Foster in
politics. 1t assumes the campaign was
dishonest on the part Of republicans,
because it alleges they talked one way
on the liquor question in the country
and another in the cities. 1t will say
the result is significant beyond local
questions; that democrats after
being cheated out of the presidency
IN 1876, came near electing their
man in $780, and that this and proba
bly, similar votes in New York and
Pennsylvania are prophetic of demo-
cratic victory in the next presidential
campaign.

the probable election OF Gof, republi-

republican, to congress by from 800 to
500 majority. The same counties in
1880 gave Hancock, for president, ] ,4S4
Of a majority-a republican gain of
1000. The tariff was one of the prin
cipal issues. Although both candi-
dates were committed to the prot, c.
tective policy, the vacillation of the
democratic party on the tariff question
weakened the democratic candidate.
The principal reason Of the republican
victory was the popularity of Gen.
Gof, who is man of superior qualif-
cations for the position.
The temperance question entered
lightly into the campaign, but neither
of the candidates were committed to
it. The democratic candidate was cut
by temperance men because of having
taken an active part before the legisla-
ture last winter in defeating the sub
mission of prohibition amendment to
vote of the people.
The democrats have elected their
congressman in the three other dis
tricts in the state by something less
than their usual majority.
