THE RESULT In OHIO.
Its Effect In New York as Estimated by
Congressman Cox.
Ne,o York Star

New York Star.
For two reasons Hon. 8. 8. Cox was very
happy yesterday. The fret was the fact
that he had just entered on the thirty-third
year OF his matrimonial life, and was cele-
brating the happy occasion with his good
wife and friends; secondly, he had heard
the news from Ohio. When Mr.. Cox was
seen by Star reporter at his residence last
evening he wore the dress and coat in which
ne was married thifty-two years ago.
Slightly aprOpr0s Of the occasion was a
lithogrsph picture which he carried In his
hand, and which represented a grotesque-
looking negro child with this description
underneath:
Chow old is II. Well, if yer takes what
mudder says. Ise goin' on six; but II yer
goes by all de fun Use had guess Pm near
ly hundred"
"How does the result in Ohio strike your"
asked the reporter.
SIT will act as q stimulant all along the
line. Yesterday Clevelsnd's election was an
absolute promise; to-day 1t is an absolute
verify. Ohio is naturally Republican. While
l have been In public life we have not car
ried the State more than half dozen times.
Our first great victory was in 1858, when
was Chairman OF the State Central Com
mittee, and when by the hardest kind of
work we won by $4,000. The German vote
Is to be thanked for yesterdays result
Without 1t we would not have won. And it
was changed by the Republican attempt to
foist sumptuarY laws on a people who had
left the old country because Of arbitrary
Kaiser rule. Such enlightened and philo-
sophical men as Stallo objected to having
the government dictate what they should
eat or drink or how they should walk. The
Republicans had run out of material for a
State or National issue, and they fell back
on temperance with the idea that they would
meet with the same need of success as had
come through this issue to the party in
Iowa. The stand they took has defeated
them in Ohio; 1t will materially hurt the
party In Illinois and Indiana"
"What is the prospect as to the conplex-
ion of the next House OF Representatives"
''It this thing keeps up It will have a
working Democratic majority of from
twenty to thirty. We shall gain three or
four in Indiana, two or three in Illinois. two
In New Jersey, half dozen In New York,
half dozen in Pennsylvania, one or two in
Connecticut, perhaps two in Wisconsin,
one in Minnesota, three in Missouri and
and possibly one In Iowa. The Ohio result
and the Republican divisions hereabouts
may give us all the California delegation
but one. Page may be returned. We may
lose one In Tennessee, two in Kentucky,
one or two In Mississippi and two in North
Carolina, and hold our own In Texas, Geor-
gia, South CaroliRa and Kentucky. This,
Of course, is a hastY and imperfect esti-
mate"
"'Then you think that Ohio will help New
York;"
without doubt. No money can change
the prevailing sentiment sufficiently to give
the Republicans the State. They can't fix
the jury with litter, money or blarney. Yes
terday's Waterloo also helps us in Penasyl-
Vania, especially in the western portion.
which is settled by the backbone of Ohio.
The same influences which made Ohio
Democratic will wheel Pennsylvania into
linen
''But it is said that their reverse in Ohio
will stiffen the Republican backbone here.n
"There can be no stiffening after such a
Waterloo. 1t is too demorslizing."
