THE BUCKEYE STATE WHEELS
INTO LINE.
THE FIRST GUN FOR 1884.
The Democrats Make n Clean
Sweep of the state.

by this time, the election in Ohio on
Tuesday Of last week, resulted in a
complete and sweeping victoty for
the Democrats. Every State Officer
was elected. Governor Hoadly's ma
jority is over 10000. The Legisla-
ture has a Democratic majority Of
over 80 on joint ballot, thus insurine
Democrat to succeed Hon. Geo. II.
Pendleton in the United States Sen
ate from Ohio. As A. X. Mcclure
Says: II is complete Democratic
triumph; it makes all the State Of
ficers Democratic, gives the Demo-
Gratis the first con troll Of the Supreme
Court, he Board of Public Works
and all the boards of State charita-
bic and other institutions they have
had since the organization of the Re
publican party in 1856.
Such are the substantial fruits OF
the Democratic success. But these
are not only possible but probable re-
suits of the victory in the future
which must be even more appalling
to the discounted Republican lead
ers. This is the first time the Dem
ocrats have ever carried Ohio twice
in consecutive contests since the Re-
publicans won their first victory with
Chase twenty eight years ago, and it
is the first time that they have won
in Ohio with full vote polled. They
carried Ohio in 1862 in the general
Republican decentralization over the
emancipation proclamation, but Val
landigham was beaten for Governor
100000 the next year. They elected
Allen Governor in 1873 by scratch
on very light vote, but lost all their
other State candidates. In 1874
Ohio was engulfed in the anti Grant
tide along with Pennsylvania, Massa-
chusetts and many other Republican
States. But 1875 brought her back
to her old Republican mooring BY the
election of Hayes as Governor. In
1877 another light vote and general
Republican decentralization gave the
Democrats the State by default In
1878 the Republicans gained the State
and held it until last year, when it
was again carried by the Democrats,
presumably on the liquor issue, but
largely by stay at-home Republicans.
1t looks like the breaking up of a
long Republican winter in the Buck
eye State and only Democratic blum
ders can restore the lost Republican
powers. Its organization is yisibly
afflicted with the dry rot; its vitality
is gone; its leadership is weakened
by selfishness, jealousy and senility,
and its rallying power has persisted.
The Republican paralysis that gave
the Democrats victory was not clearly
visible before the election, as it was
obscured by the greatly exaggerated
liquor issue.

The Eject of the Victory.
New York Sun.


With very few exceptions, Ohio
has gone for the Republicans at every
general election since the party was
founded. If, therefore, it had been
CARED by the Republicans on Tues
day, the result would have produced
only slight effect on the States that
vote in November next. But the cleo
ton of Judge Hoadly and Demo
cratic majority in the Legislature,
which secures Democratic Senator
in Congress, turns the tide in the
other direction. This rather unex-
pected termination of a hard fought
battle will exert a good deal of in
fuence in those States which hold
elections in the coming month.
The Democrats and Independents
are aiming to turn the corrupt Re-
publican party out of power at the
next Presidential contest. To accom-
plish this, it is most desirable and
advantageous to capture Republican
States in advance Of the greater
struggle of 1884, and thus foreshadow
the coming victory. In word, they
must not only conquer Republican
States, but hold them with strong
hand. This important piece of work
Ohio has now done. Last year the
Democrats carried Ohio by plural
ity Of more than 10000. They have
again elected their ticket, and the
plurality would have been larger
than that Of last year except for a
quarrel in Cincinnati about local
candidates.

1t is rather amusing to observe the
discontinue of our republican ex-
changes over the result of the Ohio
election, and their lame efforts to ex-
plain it away. The chief explana-
ton, in truth, is simply the disinte-
grafton Of the republican party.
Next year will witness the end OF
that organization as the ruler of the
country.

Sour Grapes.
News Journal.

Unkind republican contemporaries
are trying to make Democracy feel
badly by suggesting that it is very
uncomfortable seat they have just
taken. There are pins in it. 1t is a
hard seat, anyway. Democrats will
find it SO rough that they will think
they like standing better. They un-
gracionsly mention the Scott law and
several harassing matters. To all
this allow us to say, dear departing
friends, that you held on very peril
naciously. You know it is rough and
stuck full of needles, and the last
occupant had smallpox and leprosy
and all that sort of thing, but De-
mocracy will do little disinfecting,
and then try to occupy it for few
years.

NATIONAL THEATER.


"The Romany Rye" under the manage
ment of Brooks & Dickson, was presented at
the National theater last evening to a large
and highly enthusiastic audience. This, one
of the best, if not the very best, of the many
spectacular dramas that have been produced
within tho past few years, combines
the elements of good and scquential plot,
with opportunities for excellent acting and
remarkable scenic and mechanical effects. 1t
is n play that requires large company and
some of moro than ordinary merit to properly
present it, and both these requirements were
fully met last night.
Mr.. James M. Hardie gave q handsome,
manly, and highly effective impersonation of
Jack Hearne, tho Romany Rye, and whether
in the moro quiet passages tho tender scenes
between himself and Gertie Heckett, or in the
cellar in tho Black Croft, where
bound and waiting TO be dispatched,
according to the orders of Philip
Royston he begs for life of Old Mother Ship
ton, he was tho careful, painstaking and
natural actor. Equal praise may be awarded
Miss Sarah Won Leer, who, to many graces Of
person, unites quick intelligence which
enables her to present tho char
acter of Gertie Heckett in the proper,
simple, and ladylike manner. And yet in tho
impassioned scenes she rises to the occasion,
showing reserve power always within easy
reach, with no harshness or straining for
effect, but forceful and in accordance with
tho demands Of the character
The Mother Shipton of Miss Marion Clifton
was an excellent bit Of character acting, and
she was the recipient of q morited recall at the
close of the fourth act. Miss Gussie Do For
rest was an effective Luna Lee, and Mr.. p.
A. Anderson's Joe Heckett was most ar
tstic performance In fact, tho entire
performance was thoroughly enjoyable, and
the appreciation of the audience was evidenced
by tho loud applause which greeted every
telling point and every new scene.
"The Romany Ryo" will be presented every
evening this week, and at the matinees on
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.

or will resort to forco and fraud at the cleo
tions The shotgun plan of Mississippi is
hero confessed and defended Tho
highwayman does not kill those who
surrender. That is the new Mississippi
idea. How simple. And colored leaders who
enter into the arrangement ask northern re-
publicans to believe that by entering into a
political copartnorship with such a crew,
purity of elections is to be assured. Intelli-
gent men cannot be fed on such husks. There
is no scmblance of truth or sense in the mis-
cradle arrangement, except as it may be con-
sidered the reorganization of the democracy
without distinction of color.
We ask all in authority to read tho above
quoted confession over and again, and then
see if there is "a republican form of govern
ment" in Mississippi, and, if not, to consider
what has become of the constitutional guar
antce that there shall be one in each state,
despite anti-republican state authorities.

The NLlsslssippl FusIonists.

The Natchez (Miss.) Democrat is the Adams
county organ of the fusion entered into be-
tween the regular bourbon democratic organi-
zation and the Lynch republicans. In its
issue of the sixteenth instant it has an
editorial from which we take the following.
(Tho italics are ours):
In the fusion system we have approached more
nearly the purity Of Gnte-bel!um elections, and we
have we hope forever destroyed the necessity for
any JOrciJc or fraudulent methods at the elections OF
the country.
In using the term necessity here. we use II not
tUithoh due reflection. Those who have observed
the process of the reconstruction of the seeding
states will not have to be told that the only meth
ods by which the states OF the south could have
been saved from utter ruin were those which were
some,phat revolutionary in their character Tho
solution of the difficult situation in which the
people of the southern states were placed was to
be found in our opinion, alone in the plan of
fusion which was adopted by the people of Adams
county, and whic h has been so generally adopted
in other sections of the south.
If there is a epublican who can stomach
such infamy as that, or lend aid and comfort
to such an unnatural combination as the fu-
sion it speaks for, lot him enjoy it, We will
mono of it. 1t has destroyed the necessity
of forcible and fraudulent methods at the
elections" The Democrat man says no uses
the word necessity" with duo reflection,
That is to say, the democrats will either have
their demands complied with before elections,

fun and Neil Burgess. 1t has no plot but fun
no incidents but fun, no denouement but fun,
uproarious, side splitting, irresistible fun.
And IL owes all this to tho central character,
Mr.. Burgess as Tryphena Puffy. The other
characters are but foils TO set him of. No
rules or criticism arc applicable either to him
or the play. His acting has gained in natu
ralncss, losing q good deal of the "end man"
characteristics that once infected 1t. He is
natural, realistic, even artistic. His facial
gesture Is immense and very seldom was per-
mitted last night to transgress nature.
The humor-moro properly speaking, the
fun-of Vim" is original. With o very
narrow range, it is nevertheless effective and
striking. 1t belongs to the same family as
Spoopendyke" but is freer and less artificial
than the humor of Mr.. Huntley's famous
creation. The central figure is Tryphena
Puffy. The other characters are not Mt all
needed, except to bring out Mrs. Puffy. Mr..
Joseph Palmer as Josiah Puffy was o success
in developing Mrs. Puffy. The makeup of
Mr.. Sol Smith as Old Simon Milkweed
and of Mrs. Clara Stoneall as the old maid
Betsy Sonnet wore capital; their acting,
however, was very indifferent Miss
May Taylor as Matte Somers, the niece of
Mrs. Puffy, has two qualifications of good
actress-youth and beauty. She displayed no
other abilities last night. Mrs. Puffy how
ever, amply atoned for all the sins of omission
and commission on the part of the company.
For pure, simple, uproarious, side splitting fun
nothing in Washington has ever surpassed

THE meeting at Lincoln hall was most
impressive one. The eager crowd outside, after
the hall was packed, was as large Us that which
gained admittance. The addresses wero lis

with earnest response. The good gray head
of Frederick Douglass loomed up maestcally
as he plead for tho rights of his race, and
Col. Ingersoll, armed with law, eloquence, and
wit, easily swayed the vast audience with his
every mood. Judge Shellabarger and DR..
Rankin delivered shorter addresses, which
were attentively listened to, notwithstanding
the lateness of the hour. The temper of the
speeches was strong without violence, and
the dissent from the supreme courts decision
on the civil rights bill was not weakened by

ton, and Randall. Fifty-six votes were cast
in favor of slavery. and they were all demo-
