OHIO DEMOCRATICl


Although the results of the Ohio election
of Tuesday were not all officially announced
yesterday, enough was known to estimate
that it was in favor .of the Democrats in
the neighborhood of thirty thousand.
Dispatches IN the st. Louis papers, received
as late as o'clock yesterday morning, put
the Democratic majority at from fifteen to
twenty thousand, but dispatch received
here later in the forenoon from Captain
Phillips at Chicago, made the Democratic
majority an even 10000. No other dis
patches were received here which in any
way confirmed this one.
The gains and loses reported are based
upon comparison with the vote for gov.
ernor in 1881, when the Republican ma
jority was 24,3O0. There are ,97S precincts
in the state.
Returns from 200 precincts and wards
showed net Democratic gain of 1850.
Three hundred and sixty two precincts
and wards showed a net Democratic gain
of 1856.
Four hundred and forty precincts showed
a net Democratic gain of 1888.
Five hundred and forty-fve precincts and
wards showed net Democratic gain of
12,27S.
The reports received were from all parts
of the state and indicated general Demo
cratic gain. In the cities of Cincinnati,
Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo the Dem
ocratc gains are large.
Returns from GAL precincts showed net
Democratic gain OF l4,42S. This indicated
a Democratic majority Of over 10000 in the
state.
The principal gains, will of course, come
from the large cities, Cincinnatti, Column
bus, Cleveland and Toledo.
Speculation as TO the cause of this popu-
lar political revolution is as yet hardly in
order, but it is safe to say that they were
severa--a combination of circumstances.
The Prohibition legislation inaugurated re-
Gently by the Republican party has had a
strong effect in the large cities But the
bossism, the Capitalization and TIE monopo-
ly legislation of the party each contributed
its share to the brilliant defeat. Such
awakenings of the people certainly re.
freshing and are warning to the corrupt
political ringsters who have mismanaged
the peoples affairs so long, that they are
being watched that the people still take
some interest in public affair, and will put
a stop to ring rule and corruption sooner or
later. The dispatches do not say whether
Keiter was defeated or not. But be that as
1t may, he, by his arbitrary rulings as
speaker of the federal house, and his out.
rageous arrangement of the committees, in
which he substituted all the most notorious
tricksters or mere political ninnes for
many of the great leaders of both parties,
he thereby doubtless contributed his full
share toward this great revolution in his
state 1t is evident that the Republican
party has fulfilled its mission it has been
held in power for several years back only
by the efforts of few bosses with their
corruption funds and their army of helpless,
will be followed by the people of Pennsyl.
mia, New York aDd-Illnois, and the party
of Capitalization and imperialism, of excess
slve taxation and extravaganza, of war pro-
lection and monopoles, OF corruption, job
berry and hypocrisy, with its Camerons, Dor
seys, Robesons, Kielers, and Jayhubbells,
will be relegated to the obscurity of q
political grave.
