The Deluge in Ohio.
Predictions respecting the Ohio cleo
ton usually wound up with the state
ment that the result might be sur
prise 1t is something of q paradox,
therefore, that what nearly everyone
expected has happened, and that the
happening thereof is a surprise. People
expected to be surprised, and they are;
and those who call themselves Re-
publicans are sorely disappointed,
while the Democrats are correspond
ingly elated. Ohio has gone Democratic
by unexpectedly large figures. The
most sanguine Democrat in the State
hardly dared place his expectations at
more than 10000 beyond the Republic
an vote. The talk of majority larger
than that all came from the Republican
side. and was in the form of hints OF
Republican victory, not in positive pre-
dictions of the majority by which that
victory would be achieved. When it
came to actual figures the Republicans
were not prepared, any more than DEM
| ocrats, to claim more than 10000.
The returns, so far as they have been
received at this writing, show that the
Republicans not only lost where they
expected to lose. but lost where they
thought they would hold their own, and
lost where they were sanguine of max
ing gains. They also show that the Re-
publicans lost heavily in the vote in the
Congressional districts. They deliber-
atelv gerry wandered the State in hopes
of electing fifteen or sixteen of the
twenty-one Representatives, but their
schemes have miscarried disastrously.
The small nominal majorities which
they had erected in some of the districts
were impotent to save weak and unpop-
ular candidates in the face of the cur
rent against Republicanism which swept
| over the State. The Republicans would
have done better in the Congressional
districts if the apportionmeht had been
fairly and honestly made. AS it is they
dug pit for themselves, and have con-
tributed materially toward insuring an
emphatic Democratic majority in the
| next House of Representatives.
The wide extent of the Democratic
gains, made as they were in q very large
maiority of the counties, Republican as
well as Democratic, shows that some
other influences besides those which af-
fected the vote in Cincinnati, Cleveland
| and other large cities werc at work
against the Republican party. No
doubt, the exhibition which that party
has made of itself in New York, Penn
sylvania and other States, in which its
utter want of conscience, and it's de-
| pendence upon bulldozing, fraud and
| forgery were conspicuous features, haf
much to do with alternating voters frot
Republican candidates. No doubt, to
the record which the first session of
present Congress has made as re-
less and extravagant body was not Wh
out weight; while the infamous ym-
paign methods, as evidenced, irthe
Republican Campaign Text Bk''
and in the remorseless raids uponfhce-
holders, contributed to the vote CEN
sure which has been passed byso en-
pbatic a majority.
Altogether the defeat is {, most
significant and overwhelming the Ke-
publicans of Ohio have everfecelyed.
