The Republicans claim that whensver
there is f.,h vote polleJ, there Is heavy
Republican majority in the State Of OLio.
'Tis true, that Allen, in '1.3. was elected
on tie DemgcIatic .icket, when the small
est vote as polled during these ten years,
ana II is true that Foster Rep.) was
elected Governor in 80, and Garfield
Rep. was elected President in so, when
The two lngcSt votes were cast during this
period; bat aside from these 2 gears, We
do not find such an analogy as our Re-
publican friends desire, for Newman in
50, was elected by Democrats from an
aggregate vote Of G32 900. We mus, not
forge, that Dorsey's confessions explain
somewhat the enormous vote in so
Republican prognosticators also claim,
that Mr. Newman's great majority in 81,
was the resnit of the sumptuary laws
passed by Republican votes in that State,
aud that the Scott license law enacted
this Jear, and repeating the Sunday laws,
has made fun atonement TO the injured
German element for the affront OF last
year. However true this may De III Ohio,
on principle, the reasoning is unsOund.
They first angered the German vote by
closing up their saloons and gardens On
Sundays, and then bid for their fcaity by
putting on a license and making them
pay for their freedom. We 90 not appre-
cate the warmth of this style Of eoncilia
tion, and do rot b-ieva the C rinan vote
Of Ohio is whipped back into Republican
line by any such Inethcd. Il i, simply
saying 10 them, "Ii We cannot make you
shut Up, we ct least viii make you pay
handsomely for keeping open, and for this
ciemsncy stay with cur party" No, The
Scott law will no. N its operation, reduce
Newman's majority at the mex. election,
and We Confidently anticipate a great
Democratic vic,,sy, although We know
that tremendous effort is being made by
X publican. S!:er Dorsey's methods, 20
carry the .Bucleye sraie next month.
