Ohio--vmginia.

We said yesterday that we thougnt tha'
ronercssu,en were not TO be elected In Ohio
At tbc October election. The Following
sentence taken from the Cincinnati Com
,nrreiol OF the 18th ultimo implies In the
strongest manner that we were mistaken.
In advising the Germans how TO vote the
Commercial says:
.The thing now 10 do Is to vote the lic-
tslblican ticket for congressman ana county
officers, and scratch the head, or, II they
please, the whole OF the State ticket"
So Il would appear that the congressman
from Ohio are 10 be elected on Tuesday,
October 10th.
But II is also implied in the above-quoted
advice that 1t Is deemed so important for
the Republican party TO secure the next
House Of Representatives OF the United
States that the Republicans in Ohio are adj
yised by Republican paper TO scratch the
whole OF the State ticket rather than vote
against the candidates for Congress nomi-
mated by the Republican party.
This should serve as lesson TO the Dem
ocrats OF Virginia. They ought to disre-
gard all minor considerations and stand in
with their friends Of the national Demo-
cratic party at the election to come OH here
n month after the time OF the Ohio election.
II the Republicans OF Ohio can afford 10
overlook all other considerations than such
rs appeal to them as members OF party
such as the Republican, surely the Demo-
Gratis of Virginia, who have so much more
nj stake than have the Ohio Republicans.
can afford 10 stine all little prejudices
against persons and cast their ballots for
GARRISON, GEORGE WISE, MASSEY, REESE,
CABELL, TUCKER, O'FERRALL, and BAR
BouR, and thus save from defeat such a
grand old party as that TO which they have
hitherto adhered through sunshine and
storm.
In Ohio they are not troubled with O
negro vote Of 1928, 600. They are not threat
ened with Boss rule. They are in no dan
ger Of having all their faithful judges legis-
lated out Of office. They do not fear the
passage OF law to put all sales OF lands
into the hands OF politician selected by O
partisan Governor to take care OF other peo-
pies interests, sell other peoples lands. and
pocket a commission for the same. They
do not apprehend the passage Of laws in
tended to put institutions OF learning I'M
der the control OF the same partisan Gov
ernor. In fact, the Republicans Of Ohio
have no good reason for dreading the sue
cess Of their Democratic opponents. The
Republicans would lose the offices, but the
people at large would be the gamers there
by.
But in Virginia the success OF JOHN s.
WISE would be accepted by the Boss as an
endorsement by the people Of that long
catalogue OF dangerous and oppressive
measures which he attempted to push
through the General Assembly last winter,
and which but for the efforts of the Fa-
nous Five would now be resting like
a nightmare upon the breast OF the
mother Of States. Especially should
the people OF Richmond exert them
selves; for if JOHN S.WIsE is elected to
Congress, the MALONE Legislature will
most assuredly be called upon to revolu-
tionize the entire government OF this city,
and inflct upon us a punishment common
surate with the Boss's hatred OF a city
wherein he has never yet been able to get a
