The Result in Ohio.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

New York Tribune, Republican ::
The Ohio election means that Tie
presidential contest Of next year will
be one Of peculiar earnestne-s. The
great parties present the appearance
of being so evenly balanced that few
hard blows may turn the scale one
way or the other. There will be no
tidal wave, unless some existing cause
now unforeseen, arises. The republic
can party will not have nn easy victory.
1t must prepare for The iercest attack
it has ever wilhstood. The democrats
will be so much encouraged By q show
ing much better than any of their own
leaders expected that they will gather
up all their strength for the struggle OF
next year.
The Washington Republican takes
hope from the decreased dem ocratic
majority, and then turns to Virginia.
as follows : Last year, amid disaster
and wreck, the Old Dominion was a
the ark after the deluge. Let our
liberal friends there feel that Ohio's
drifting amid he breakers Of home
questions is no indication of what she
will do next year. SIC will then be
out on the ocean Of national politics.
where she has always borne herself
like staunch craft. The republican
party is IN such manifest need of allies
that the firing from within its line;
upon those who are marching against
its enemies will have to cease"
WASHINGTON Post, dem: ITO come
out of so unlucky canvass, in what was
once so reliable a republican State, in
such splendid shape as the OhiC
democrats find themselves, is TO come
out victorious. The result is serious
disaster TO the republican party"
New York World, democrat The
victory cannot fail to have an imp0r-
tant effect on the November contest
ills year. The verdict Of D iio speaks
the doom of the party Of dead issues
and perverted principles. Such vic
tory is truly a triumph of republican
government over the power of pitron.
age, OF prejudice, and OF corporate
wealth. 1t proves that when the peo-
ple's liberties and rights are tire ltened
their pat iotism can manifest itself as
effectively through their BALI as
through their bayOnels.'
