WASHINGTON, Oct. 1G.-The cases
of Money VS.. Patriotism and of The
Rich va. The Poor and of The Few VS..
The Many were tried Tuesday in
Ohio and the plaintiffs, in each
instance, were victorious. The result
is supposed by many to be, in point of
fact, the result of the presidential
election. Therefore, Cleveland and
Hendricks being beaten, why not set
up Thurman and Rosecrans? How
absurd the proposition
4 STATE MAY BE FOUGHT.
Ten thousand poverty stricken Dem
ocrats, at one hundred dollars each,
turned the tide, adding 10000 to the
Republican vote of the state. How easy
and simple the attainment OF the re-
suit! Gould achieved il when he be-
| gan the subscription to the campaign
| fund with 100000. Blaine and Van
derbilt and Gould and Elkins, all, are
| of the railway ring. Gould advised
| them properly when he said that Ohio
could be bought but that all the states
could not and that Ohio must be
bought. The moral effect of victory
in Ohio, Gould insisted, was the
equivalent of victory in November.
Gould is wise and bold and cunning
and the richest, probably,
of Americans. He surely will be if
the "Republicann system Of govern
ment, devised solely for the purpose of
transferring the whole wealth of the
country from the many 10 the few,
may be peTpetuate6. Gould, as q
money maker, is wise, and properly
expended 500 600 in Ohio; Gould, rs a
patriot and as one who should serve
and elevate and enrich the great body
of the people, deserves everlasting
execration. Beecher is surely q phi
lanthropist. He does not love money
itself or the power il gives He relics
, upon his genius and eloquence FOR
power, honor and fame. Gould and
. Vanderbilt and Sage are only ingots OF
, gold and packages of boAds on legs
with all the depraVed instincts OF
misers. Money is Omnipotence in
b. their eyes, and ii was this, that over
whelmed the miserable poverty
stricken Cleveland in Ohio.
