ELECTION RETURNS.
DEMOCRATS GAIN NINE CONGRESS-
MEN, AND THE STATE BY $4,000
MAJORITY.
Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem

MAJORITY.
Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem.
The Democratic State ticket is
elected. Our dispatches will give
our readers all the information we
have as to the majority. 1t is large
enough to be emphatic and decisive,
and to sadly discourage those man
aging Republican politicians who
have been conducting the Republic
can side Of the campaign with view
to fixing themselves in high places
in the future.
The significance Of the result, how
ever, goes far beyond State or local
questions. Coupling the voice of
Ohio with the probable Democratic
victory in New York and Pennsyl-
vania, the eyes of the people look to
Democratic control of the govern
ment at Washington. The Demo
cratic party Of the United States was
swindled out Of the Presidency to
which it elected Tilden in 1876, and
the Presidential election of 1880
showed such close popular balance
that we may well look to Democratic
control after 1884. The tide has been
turning for six years, and the Demo
cratic flood appears to be upon us.
Altogether, the victory for the
Democratic party in Ohio is decided
and conspicuous, and justifies an
oldfashioned Democratic hurrah.
GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR REPUBLI-
CANISM.
Cincinnati Gazette, Rep.
The autumn elections open badly
for the Republican party. In every
part of the State almost there have
been Republican losses, and even in
the Western Reserve and strong
temperance districts the alliance Of
the Democrats with the liquor inter-
ests has not been sufficient to save
the Republican party from defeat.
It is manifest that down at the
bottom there is widespread dissatis-
faction. The decentralization Of the
party in New York and Pennsylya-
MIA had its effect in Ohio, and while
the bossism that has split the party
there does not exist here, the fact
that the party in those States is di-
vided against itself, and the national
administration being justly or I'M
Justly made party to the division,
and placed, in the public estimation,
on the wrong side of it, has its effect
elsewhere.
In the canvass, too, it has been
found uphill work to satisfy the peo-
pie with the action of Congress in
making eXtravagant appropriations
and adjourning without removing
any portion of the tax burden.

The Washington monument
reached the height of $40 on Tues
day, leaving 245 feet yet to be
completed before it attains its full
stature of $50 feet. The present
weight of the structure is said to
be about 10000 tons of 2,240
pounds. The tapering off of the
monument is now so rapid that
the additional weight to the TOP
will propably not exceed 10000
tons.
