doubt Of the election of Hoadly by majority

while their House Of Representatives tackles
the protection of wool.
PRESS OPINION.
PHILADELPHIA, October 11th.-The Press
says: The contest in Ohio resulted in a
mesger Democratic success, but the margin
is 90 narrow that it may fairly be called a
/ drawn battle. The salient features of the
contest are FIVE in number. First-there is
no political revolution; second-Ohio is
swinging back to its political moorings (;
| third-'he whole disturbance and uncertainty
are outside The ordinary political issues, and
due to the temperance question fourth-the
prohibition movement developed sudden and
remarkable strength, which may have i'm
portsnt effects hereafter and, ffth-the
German Republican,, whose detection was
most feared, held fist to their political al.

Republican State as ever.
The Times says: The result Of the Ohio
election is b Republican crash. Il has dashed
| the Republican power snd machinery of the
State, and substantially declares Ohio is
henceforth not Republican State, but an
| independent commonwealth. ready for q rsyo-
luton in State and National politics, when.
ever the people proclaim it. 1t simply de.
clares that as between the parties, both are
rather off color and distrusted.
CHICAGO, October 11th.-The Inter. ocean
! says: The returns from the elections in
Iowa and Ohio ere very slow in coming in,
| but, according to estimates based on the re.
suits already known, it is clear that the Re-
pubicans have carried one State and the
Democrats the other. The enforcement of
the Scott law. taxing saloons, slice its in
doIsement by the Courts, was acquiesced in

perance people insisted upon making prohi.

and Government of the State into the con-

The Tribune says: The Democratic success
in Ohio has no general political significance
under the conditions described, but it would
have had If there had been o square fight be-
tween the two parties on national issues, aud
the result does not warrant, by any means,
the conclusion that OHIO will be included in
the list Of Democratic States for the next
Presidential election. The issue was made as

didste. The important lesson which the
election teaches is that the Republicans, in
their party elections, must cut away from the
Prohibitioni9ts altogether. The
defeat of the prohibition amendment also
makes clear that the Prohibitionists have
gained nothing by their treachery and inRrat-
itude to the Republicans.

it was for that sin that his party has decided
to retire him. What then is the meaning Of
their triumph? Obviously this-that the

The Result In Iowa.
DEs MONIES, October 11th.-Defnite re-
| turns have been received by the State Register
on the Legislature, and the result is positively

count has settled it. There are few close
| contests, but the Senate will stand forty Rs
publicans. nine Democrats, and one doubtful.
DEs MONIES, October 11th.-Full and
complete returE from fifty counties give
| Sherman 10, 424 majority over Kline, 4,S5l
over Kline and Weaver both. In these fifty
counties Sherman has a total vote of Sc, ga.
Kiune 67, 200, and Weaver 4,573. The lat
ter's vote is made by the full returns much
larger than was expected yesterday and the
day before. Incomplete, but pretty definite,
returns FROM the other forty counties, giving
| the majority simply, makes Sherman ma
| jority over Kinne $4,000, and his majority
over all s COO or 5000.
