Hsesertins the Repub-
Iicau Party.

The American Register says a
mong the S gniticant facts, which
the late Ohio election has revealed,
may be mentioned the unexpected
Democratic gains in the country
districts. This, to the thoughtful
student of politics, has n deep mean
ing. The floating vote of u large
city may be secured by a lavishing
expenditure of money, and the par
ade and demonstration of ian enthusi-
astic campaign equipment, but no
such outside show or excitement o.
walls much in the rural communities.
There the party lines are more close
ly drawn aud this politics of a voter
better known. Shifting tides Of pub
lie sentiment are rare, and men may
ordinarily make safe calculations of
political results. When the country
section of a State like Ohio shows
decided Democratic gains, a State
With q voting population unusually
bright and well informed, it protends
causes deeper than the glare of the
politician.
1t indicates m awaking of popular
inquiry and the action of voters in
fuence by public consideration.
The Republican leaders have been
won't to plume and pride themselves
upon the assumption that among
the farmers, where conservatism
held away, the party strength could
not be impaired, and that they had
only to unfurI the party banner, and
the loyal and enthusiastic voters
would at once rally around it. The
destruction of this oft-repeated and
generally successful maneuver is the
most serious blow which the Repuh
lican party is now called upon to en-
dnre. They find themselves losing
/ ground where loss was thought to be
impossible, and their becoming con
verts to principles against which
they have warned them with the
most sober and serious concern De-

in sections where they thought them
selves impregnable indicate a great
change of political sentiment, and is
the most encouraging sign which
the recent election reveals. The
farmers are the most numerous body
Of u people, and to them more than
others are the question of public
policy and good government matters
of great concern: Their sever toll
and small gains, and the proportion
of revenue TO invest make them the
first to feel and the greatest 20 suffer
injustice or inequality in the rela-
ton of the individual to the action
of Government. When, therefore,
their eyes We're once opened to the
profigacy and wasteful expenditure
which a party of political adv entures
have been practicing, the direct re-
suit Of which is the enrichment of the
few and the impoverishment of the
many, wealth for the one and taxes
for the other, it did not take them
long to discover where their inter
ests lay, Or for whom their votes
should he cast.
Thus while the Republican orators
preached from the same old text
against the dangers of Democratic
principle, the voters were industri-
ously developing new facts and argu-
ments directly to the contrary, and
it came to pass that they discovered
good reasons why a change was
necessary, and voted accordingly. 1t
may not surprise the Republican
leaders that Judge Hoadly should
have won, hut hat he was helped to
victory by the old guard so to speak,
of the party hope, must excite their
wonder and astonishment. Nothing
so surely illustrates the growth OF
the Democratic strength as this gain
from the best element of Republican
voters in Ohio. 1t may well give
the Democracy the greatest encour
agement, for it is an omen of the
greatest Importance.

The Danville Va, riot which re-
suited in the killing of several per-
sons, was the direct result of a "a. e
conflict instigated by Malone for
political purposes. By working up
on the prejudices of a class of igno
rant negroes, Malone succeeded in
producing the results given to the
country by the daily press. The
more intelligent negroes are cutting
loose from the Malone party, and
the tide was turning against tina,
pestiferous parsonage, which tide re-
suited in the defeat of the Malone
party at the election. For the pnr-
porse of stemming the tide the Ma,
hone managers i~nstigated a class of
ignorant negroes to riot. This is
the whole of the Grace conflict" so
vehemently set aioat by the perpe
traitors of the-damnable plot.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says
that if all the states vote next year
as they voted this year the Demo
Gratis will have Eat votes in the Elec-
toral College and the Republicans
154. If precedent counts for any
thing it is safe to say that the states
will so vote, as they have so voted
generally heretofore. That is, in no
election since 1864 have the Repub
licans carried more states in the
presidential election than they car
ried in the elections of the year i'm
mediately preceding. In no instance
has that party gained in the presi-
dental year over the preceding year,
while in some instances the Demo
Gratis have gained. In the last presi-
Dental election the Democrats car
ried two more states than they car
ried in the elections Of 1879. 1t is
therefore not reasonable to suppose,
if precedent is any guide, that the
Republicans will carry any states
next year that they failed to carry
this year, and if they do not they
cannot elect a President.
However, the result will depend in
a measure, if not entirely, upon two
states, New York and OHIO. They
are the states that must be fought
for, and the votes of which will de-
termine the result. If the Demo
Gratis lose Ohio and carry New York,
they will still have votes enough. If
New York should be lost and Ohio
carried, the Democrats would still
have votes enough; but if both
should be lost, Democratic chances
would DE slim indeed. Their cleo
toral vote would be reduced to 11S.
thirteen less than the requisite num-
Der. These might be made up from
some of the other states, say Colora-
do, Connecticut and Oregon, but if
New York and Ohio should go Re-
publican there would be no plobabil-
ity that these three naturally Repub
lican states would 60 any other way.
It is evident, therefore, that New
York and Ohio will be the centers of
the great contest next year, and
since Ohio votes first, and its vote is
absolutely necessary for the Repub
%licans to elect their President, the
most desperate. political contest of
modern times will be fought out with
in its borders.

There is a characteristic feature
of the Republican press now pre-
vaiIing. 1t is ono of envy and NAL
ice at the incoming Democratic ad-
ministra'ion. Mud throwing and
low filings constituted the chief am
munition OF the Republicans before
the election, but it is time it should
d now. After having such an
uninterrupted sway in public affairs
for over twenty years, they should
now be willing to give ''the old man
a chance" Good government should
be the main and sought for by all
parties.

Last year the Republicans charged
their defeat to the liquor dealers,
and this year to the Prohibitionists.

dishonest practices.

The Newark a. j. Journal says:
Colored voters are breaking away
from the Republican party every
where. They have found out that
they are being tricked and cheated
and swindled. The very laws made
by the Republicans ostensibly to ben
eft the colored people are proving
downright injuries. Witness the
Civil Rights bill now declared un-
constitutional. The colored voter
begins to see that all the Republican
party cares about him was to secure
his vote.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says
that Gov. Hoadly sends word to the
parties who were planning a great
demonstration of military and other
foolery at his inaugural, that he
does not want any thing of the kind.
He desires no demonstration and
wishes to enter upon the duties Of
his office without any pomp and
circumstances whatever. He will
simply 60 to Columbus as a plain
citizen, and having taken the oath
will enter upon the discharge of the
duties whereunto he has been called.
We presume that the idea of getting
up an Inauguration hoodoo only
originated in the desire of Columbus
people to gather in the shekels of
visitors, and in the ambition of
militia colonies and captains to pa
rade in all the glory of their military
toggery at the head of u ragged
national guard. 1t is well that
Governor Hoadly has had the good
sense to put his foot down on all
contemplated foolery.

From the above it will be seen that
the Democratic vote never reached
3O0,0 until the Presidential year
1875. The vote of this year, looking
to future success, is most gratifying.
Judge Hoadly received at the present
election 1867 more b ,llots than was
ever before cast for a Democratic
candidate in Ohio-even in the
Presidential year. Furthermore the
vote he received would have given
him the State in any year, even when
the largest vote was polled. For in
stance, in 1880 the total vote cast
for Democratic and Republican can
didates was 715,S59 one-half of which
would he 357,934. This, the vote of
Judge Hoadly exceeds 1,759, which
on that total vote, would have been
his majority. The Prohibition vote
fell Off this year nearly 1000, while
the Greenback vote was reduced a.
bout $500. Hoadly's majority over
all-Republican, Prohibition and
Greenback wos 1920. and that would
have been his majority if all the
elements had combined against the
