GLORY ENOUGH FoR ONE DAY.
r,tianta Constitutional

The effort TO belittie tDls flctoIv WIN not
be apt to mislead any one. The liquor
question cut both WAYS, and u u dlthcult
to say which side It helped. IL IL sufficient
to know that money and official patronage
have been beaten two successive years In
former Republican stronghold; that the
State government will hereafter be in the
hands OF the Democrats, and that the cleo
toral vote Of this important central State
must, according TO the law Of probabili-
tieS, be placed on the Democratic side.
This Is glory enough for one day.
GONE HEADLONG DEMOCRATIC.
Pittsburgh, Pa. Dispatch independently
What with Ohio gone headlong Demo-
cratic, what with Iowa saved by beggarly
few thousands, there Is enough in the cleo
ton returns which we publish this morn
Ing to satisfy the greediest appetite for
present Republican disaster.
DECIDED VICTORY UNDER THE CRCUN-
STANCES.
Boston Herald. INDEPENDENT
The fuller returns from the Ohio cleo
ton confirm the first reports OF Demo
cratic victory rather than the subsequent
ones, which gave the Republicans renewed
hope. Judge Hoadly's majority is not
large, but it is quite up to the estimates OF
the more moderate Democrats made on the
eve Of the election. Any majority, how
ever small. must be regarded as decided
victory in the circumstances.
CONGRATULATE THE DEMOCRACY.
Petersburg Index Appeal. Democratic.I
We can honestly congratulate the De-
mocracy OF the country, and especially OF
Virginia, where an election Of even greater
Importance is about to be held, at the re-
suit in Ohio.
THE ICE Is BROKEN.
fWhecling Register. Dcmocratic.I
Ohio was never before carried by a Dem
ocratic ticket the year preceding prcsl-
dental election. This year the ice is bro
ken. Let Us go in to win.
TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY MUST GO.
Petersburg Mall, Dcmocratic.I
In Virginia the Ohio victory will be
greeted with enthusiasm and welcomed
with glad acclaim. The Republican party
must 20, and the first heavy blow has been
dealt il in Ohio. The next will be given
by Virginia on the 9Th OF November.
WARRANTS TIE HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS.
Manchester n. H. Union, Democratic.
But the fact that the Democracy hold
up TO the line OF their splendid victory OF a
year ago is enough in itself TO warrant the
heartiest congratulations. The result is
fraught with meaning, the depth OF which
will appear rs the political situation OF the
country develops toward the period OF the
presidential election. TO the Republican
party defeat meant disaster, for it bore
down Overwhelmingly their hope and
vaunt that the result OF last year was but a
tidal wave which would recede as rapidly
as it flowed in.
SPLENDID AND DECISIVE N TTs CONSEQUENCES.
GCleveland tOhiol Plaindealcr, Democratlcl
1.-The victory is not only a splendid
achievement in itself, but decisive i'm its
consequences. The Democrats have some
times carried the State before, i'm off years,
when unimportant offices and issues were
at stake. and upon short vote. But never
since the Republican party came into
power have they beaten it until now i'm a
desperate struggle upon a full vote, and
with the entire control Of the State depend
ing upon the issue. For the first time in
thirty years, for the first time under the
present Constitution. for the first time since
the Capitol was built, Democrats will be in
iull possession OF al the olllccs OF the state
government"
SUCCESS Is CONTAGIOUS.
lLynchburg News. Dcmocraticl
Success is contagious. Nothing succeeds
like success. The victory that is in the air
in Ohio will infect that Of Virginia. The
purple light breaks not this time in the
East, but in the West, and soon its efful-
gence will battle the hills and valleys Of
Virginia and OF the entire land.
AN UNPLEASANT FACT.
New York Evening Post, Republican,
The Republican defeat in Ohio is an un-
pleasant fact, both because OF the encOur-
agement it will give the Democrats
throughout the country and because it has
clearly been due in a large measure to an
agency which is not likely TO prove merely
temporary or transient.
