THERv is nothing in the result OF the
Ohio election that need lead Republicans
to be depressed. The official returns show
that Foraker's vote wss the heaviest ever
cast iOra Republican candidate in that State
except Garfield. Hoadly's was the heaviest
given Democrat, but fell behind that OF
Townsend in 1880. This, therefore, is to
certify that the trade and dicker OF the
Prohibitionists for q. hopeless cause was the
sole cause Of Republican defeat, an asser-
ton before advanced by the INTELLIaEScER.
In this connection we print in another COL
umn an interview with Mr.. Schumacher,
the Prohibition candidate, in which he as
Serts without qualification that his party
was the main instrument Of Democratic
success.
ut Is supposed" says the Cleveland
Herald, "that the real object IVES to ad.
vance the cause Of temperance. II this
suPposition be correct, then the Pfohibi.
donists, instead. OF winning victory, have
suffered the greatest losses by the recent
election. As Mr.. Schumacher says, they
got the Democratic party into power. That
hAll."
This is somewhat in the nature OF a repe.
titiou Of what has been claimed by the IN
1ElLloEScER, but new interest is added to
the subject by the assertions OF Mr.. Schu'
macher, from the fact that the causes re-
cited above have been denied by eminent
Pfohibitionists, not only in Ohio but other
States, The lSSson is plain.

soHunAoHEn INTERVIEWED.
The Prohibitloni. IL Responsible for the
Rennblienn Defeat In Ohio.


AKRON, October 23.-A correspondent
to-day called on Mr.. Ferdinand Schu
macher, late Prohibition candidate fol
Governor, and found him in his elegant
office ousily engaged but ready to answer
any questions with reference to the subject
Of prohibition, which he holds most sacred
from principle. Said the reporter
as It true, Mr.. Schumacher, as has been
published, that you personally claim to
have been the cause Of the defeat Of the
Republican party at the late election@
That is all bosh, eaid Mr.. Schumacher,
~ have never said thst did 1t, but have
always said that l do not claim It for my.
self, but for The party which l represent.
We have simply admitted what the Repub-
licans have charged US with. We worked
for no particular party, but put forth every
effort for the second amendment. We did
not even work for our own ticket, and that
accounts for the limited number OF votes
that our ticket got"
"How about the future prospects OF your
party?"
ave will stick to the same old line. We
expect that some party will indorss the
principle of prohibition, and whatever
party that may be we will move with. Ny
candid opinion is that Charley Foster, bis
advisers and Republican bosses in gener.
al, who rely on policy rather than princi.
pie, were the men who defeated the Re-
publican party. You may say further that
] firmly believe thatit Charley Foster had
been brave enough, when he made his
Elyria and other speeches In which he
charged the liquor traffic with being re.
sponsible for nine-tenths OF all crime, to
have indorsed the principles Of prohibition
the great majority OF Republicans would
have cheeriully indorsed those same prin-
ciples, which seems to be self.evident from
the support that the second prohibitory
amendment received, being indorsed, as
you know, by 10000 voters In this State.
/ tell you that any party may depend on 1t
that the Prohibitionists will never relin.
quish their hold. We have entered the
field for victory and will never retreat Re
forms never 60 backward"
"What do you expect Of the Democratic
party"
ave expect as much from Democrats as,
judging from former experiences, we had
a right to expect from the Republican
party. Thesubmission Of the amendments
was simply upon the pressure Of l57, 900
petitioners. The scond amendment would
hardly have been treated with more indif,
ference by Democrats than it suffered at
tho hands OF the Republicans"
"Don't you believe that your cause has
been set back at least twenty years by the
turn matters have taken ?"
"No, think not. ! rely upon the con.
sistency Of the 10000 who supported our
principles for further support, Tor this is a
tremendous strength developed without
the practical endorsement Of either Of the
leading parties. The movement is bound
to gain strength, although no one can tell
in what shape It will come up next"
