and Its Erect Upon Next Years Contest |
A Question of Candidates..
To THE EplroR OF THE GAZETTE: The |
Republicans of Wilmington are eonsoiing |
themselves after the great defeat In Ohio by |
turning prophets. The Nsaos of tae 18th,
dies harder than the Republican or the In
dependents. The Neass says: "There is
great consolation in the defeat, because the
Prohibitlonists were defeated, and that tho
broken fragments are to be gathered up and
bring success next time Thousands OF cool
heads voted against the Republican party
and thousands Of thoughtless voters VIII De
ali right next time. Great mischief was
done the Republicans In Ohio. The defeated
Republicans viii take up their line Of action
next year from national point OF view and
carry the State. There Is still q Republican
majority in Ohio. Next year the country
will lay more stress upon character and the
record Of candidates" J" Foraker and his com-
panions from this remark lacked In this
particular. We believe they did, and the
people said so at the ballot box. "If Gar
feld's life had been spared, this great down
fall would not have happened and q Republl-
can President would be elected In 1884. Both
parties will make an effort to nominate their
best man without regard to their respective
creeds. The Republicans have nothing TO
ocrat OF any prominence, having q record
for character and capability does rot exist.
The Republicans have several such men.
The Ohio election will have wholesome
| effect upon the next national Republican
| convention. That body will be freer and
better for the defeat Of Tuesday, and this Is
a consolation the Prohibitionists nor the
| Democrats can extract from that election.

his readers why the Democrats gained
Ohio. 1t can be summed up
in q few words, and is as follows The
people of Ohio are tired Of Republican rule,
| and said: "Let's turn the rascals out" and
they did 1t, and turned them out to stay
out. The Republicans are welcome to all
such prophecies as comes from the small
brain Of one who pretends to be leader
aud teacher. A man who makes such false
statements is to be pitied or looked upon as
an idiot or fool. "No mon in the Demo.
