Capt J. c. Donaldson, Secretary of the
Republican State Executive Committee, gives
IL as his opinion that the result demonstrates
4 clearly that the majority of the people Of the
State are not in sympathy with the radical
moral reform measures upon which the Re
publican party has staked and lost everything
in the campaign Just ended While the State
issues have played an important partin the
canvass, il lis probable that the death OF
Garfield and the installment of a new ad-
minstration with antagonistic tendencies,
and the dissatisfaction consequent upon this
change, has been an important factor in
bringing upon the Republican party in Ohio
its defeat, The chickering's between the fac
tons of the party in New York and PcnnSyi-
vania have aso had their influence in Ohio,
and that influence has been detrimental.
