SOME INSTP UCTIVE RESULTS.

Some interesting points are made clear III 'he
results Of the elections.
The Ohio Republicans were over-confdent'
It is true that they have pOlled remarkable
vote, but they underestimate the desperate
energy of the Democrats. They relied too
much, apparently, upon the good character OF
the Republican party, and the bad character
of the Democratic party, and Judge HOadlys
blunders, forgetting that the class of voters
whom the money Of the liquor-dealcrs would
reach care nothing about the character of any
nartv or the mistakes of any candidate. The
Ohio Republicans did work hard, and they de-
serye credit; but they were a little disposed TO
enjoy their victory before they had gained 1t.
The advocates Of prohibition have once more
injured the cause Of temperance by acting
against the Republican party. II the DEM
ocrats have carried the State and Legislature,
il is because the. Prohibition vote has cut heaY-
ily into the Republican vote. The returns in
dictate marked increase in the Prohibition
votp, which always means Republican losses.
The Republican party had put on the
statute book one of the most popular and most
beneficial laws ever known for regulating the
lGuor traffic. The whole Democratic party
was hostile to IT, from Judge uOadly, who was
of counsel against it before the Supreme Court,
down to the keeper Of the corner groggery,
who was against it both for grog and party.
If the Prohibition voters have put in Hoadly
and Democratic Legislature, they are in
fair way to see the Scott law repealed, OF
broken down, and all tae ground lost that has
been gained in this ATTEMPT to regulate the
Tmor traffic. The readiness of the Republican
party TO deal fairly by the temperance move
meDt was shown in Iowa, where the party
pledged itself to carry out, if it controlled the
Legislature, the policy Of the prohibitOry con
stitutional amendment which the people
adopted last year, but which the Supreme
| Court decided to be invalid owing to Informal
tiles The Republican party is to-day, as it
! has long been, the only elective political
| agency for temperance reform.
The Democratic Reform movement in Gin
cinnati is a ludicrOus failure, and John K.
| Mclean is boss. Five thousand names were
| signed to a pledge to support the ticket, and
| 1000 other Democrats were secretly COM
mjtted to it, Yet the whole vote is estimated
mt not over 800. This is the way Democratic
| Reform movements usually end. The reform
is postponed until next year. and the DEM
| ccrat votes the straight ticket. The Rcpub-
lican who builds any hopes on Democratic dis
senslons is almost invariably disappointed
man on the morning after election, and this
observation applies to the latitude OF Ncw-l orh
as well as Ohio.

about which there had arisen any honest
question, also goes without Saying. NOW
these local debt consols," as they might DO
called, would form an admirable basis for a
banking circulation more elastic, more quick
to adapt itself to local needs, or to changing
states of business, than any that car now be
based upon high priced United States four ana
a half or four per cent bonds.
When this subject was mentioned last year,
The Chicago Times and other prominent journals
discussed it with much interest pointing out
some difficulties, but recognizing the great
advantages to be obtained if the practical
difficulties could be overcome by wisely framed
restrictions and provisions. 1t did not then
appear that any of the objections urged were
of such a sort that wise legislation could not
fairly be expected to overcome them. 1t
would be necessary for instance, first to re-
ouire from the State or locality seeking the
aid of United States credit, proper action ap-
proved by formal vote of the people, and IN
such form that the question as to the power OF
the.United States to enforce its claim Tor In
terest could never be disputed. Next, there
would be required some well-cOnsidered stipu-
latOns as to the creation OF any further lndebt-
edness, except upon the same plan and In lieu
of debt previously discharged. Then the inter-
vention of a Board or Court of Adjustment,
for the settlement of arrangements between
local authorities and creditors, and between
local authorities and the United States, would
be required. The selection Of members OF
such Board or Court, however might be so
guarded that abuses and jObbery could he in
great measure prevented, especially il it
should have only power to recommend, while
the officials of the United States and of the
State or locality should only have power to as
sent to or decline the terms recommended.
It will not be questioned that there would be
many difficulties to overcome. But if Mr..
KuOI would bring his skill and practical
knowledge to bear upon the details, it is not
impossible that plan well worthy the atten-
ton of Congress and of the country could be
matured.

LILLE NCyT SITE SENlTE.

The specim importance of carrying the state
Senate this year is generally conceded IL Is

sponsibilities al any time, since the people
looI, to it not only TO originate wholesome
well-digcsted laws, but to act as a prudent check
upon tho lower branch of the Legislature. II
derives increased significance, however III
view of the November election, from the TACT
that the Senators then chosen Will br called
upon TO assist in the selection of United states
Senator to succeed Mr. Lapham, whose term
expires in 1855. So in 4 sense, the ballot cast
next month for State Senator will be cast also
for United States Senator.
The Democrats now have n majority IN the
Senate. But, as a rule, ii is Republican, having
gone Democratic but once since 1871. Ihat II

reason to believe. Republican dlsailcction gave
the Senate of lSs2-s3 TO the Democrats.
Democrats will not get that sort of help this

assisted by weak nominatlons'for the Senate on
the Republican side. The candidates OF cur

was ;so uncomprOmising that the influence OI
his feryid nature was deprived of It's lnherehI

orctted tbe sermons on the Failure OF Protes-

nroiudiced the conservatism OF their reilg-
ions communion against Ritualism, at tlme
when tbe movement was making remarkable

4 HlRD FIGHT NEXT YEAR.


Tie Ohio election means that the Presidential
&C ptcst of next year will be one Of peculiar
earnestness. The great parties present the ap-
pearlnce of being 50 evenly balanced that a
few hard blows may turn tho scale one way OF
the other. There viii be no tiual wave, unless
some exciting cause, now unforeseen, arises.
The Republican party will not nave an easy
victory. On the other hand, no shrcwd pOlltI-
clan will be quick to assume hatitis doomed to
defeat The party must prepare for the fierce
attack it has ever withstOUd The Democrats
will be 80 much encouraged by showing
better than many Of their own leaders expected
that they will gather up all their strength tor
the struggle Of next year. The Civil Service
law will not check the party's ardor. One
sweep of the grimy Democratic paw will smear
that Ofi the statute book and even if it would
not, there are $4,000 post-oilices to be had
when the piIlaging begins.
it may be that the result in Ohio, which it
took more than twenty-iOur hours to ascertain,
will be blessing in disguise To the Republican
party by dispellug the political apathy from
which it has been suffering. In Ohio and Iowa
the stimulating influence OF the Prohibition
question brought out large vote, which with
out it would probably not have been seen. In
Brooklyn tho interest in Mayor Lows re-elec-
ton shows itself III an increased registration Of
nearly -, 900 thus lar over that for the CORE
spending number of days when he first ran.
Local CAUSES like these seem to rouse voters
from the lethargy into which they have fallen.
But here in New York, where there is no home
excitement, the first days registration shows a

faling-off of nearly 20 per cent from the nrS1
day Of last year, when so many Republicans
STAYED at home. This is not the way 10 carry
New-York, nor to save the National Govern
ment from falling into the hands OF hungry
horde of Goths and yandals. The Republican
defeat in Maine, in September, 1880, saved tne
Presidential election by startling the party
into n sense of its danger. Perhaps the west
crn elections will do a similar service now,
The Republican party needs only to be aroused
to carry the country at any time.
