the Republican Victory.
MR. HURD DID IT ALL.
New York World tDem.)
The battle in Ohio was fought by the Democ-
racy this year under great disadvantages. No
Democrat hoped for victory. The Democratic
drawbacks were numerous. Frank Hurd's can
NaSS for Congress was injurious to the party.
The State was flooded with tariff documents and
tariff speeches, and the Democratic platform
lnisrepresented The Republicans were enabled
to centralize all their money, patronage and eff
forts on Ohio.
VICTORY FOR BLAINE
Ohio State journal.
Our victory is especially a victory for Mr.
Blaine, the foremost man in the country He
came among us and was entitled to a dece Mt re-
ception from every self-respecting citizen, in
stead of which he was hound ed by a lot of char
acteress assassins of character whose sole oceu-
patton fer twenty years has been abuse of loyal
men and methods The rebuke they received
yesterday was severe one, but it was richly de-
served, and for the honor of the country and in
the interest of decent government it is hoped
that it will be as lasting as it is severe.
WHAT THE RESULT PROVES
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The result in Ohio is great and glorious. 1t
proves that the patriotism of the American
people can not be lulled to slumber or beguied
into again intrusting the destinies of the Repub
lie to those whose hands are still red with the
blood of their assaults upon the Nations life. 1t
proves that the American people get behind
Vilifying cartoons and picturesque ISLANDERS, dis
eliminating keenly between accusations and
evidence. Improves that protection to American
industries is the settled doctrine of the country
for at least four years to come.
PRACTICALLY SETTLES THE CONTEST
Philadelphia Press
Ohio practically decides and settles the
national contest; the great pivotal October State
outstrips even the Republican expectations and
greets the country with Republican majority
which, on the returns at present writing. prom
ises to reach from II, 600 to 90 600. Cincinnati,
IN spite of all the sources of trouble, is
deemed; Cleveland rolls up heavy majority:
there are gains at all points; the Germans re-
turned to their Republican allegiance the Re
publicans acted in the main with sense; in q
word, it is a complete success on all sides.
a DECISIVE MAJORITY.
New York sun tDenl.)
The Republicans carried Ohio yesterday by
majority sufficiently decisive to dispel in great
measure the uncertainties which of late clouded
the campaign So far the returns which have
been received indicate that the majority will be
not less than Ii, 900, and it is not probable that
the complete count Of the vote will materially
affect this estimate. In Hamilton county the
large German vote that has enabled the Demo
Gratis to carry the county for two successive
years appears to have gone TO the Republicans
as it usually does in Presidential years
We think Grover Cleveland is beaten.
THANKS, AwFULLY.
New York Times (Dem.l
If the supporters Of Mr. Blaine can derive any
comfort from this result they are welcome to it
lf in the Ohio returns they can find new reasons
for indulging the pleasing delusion that their
candidate will receive majority of the electoral
votes of the country i'll November, we would not
rob them OF that feeting joy for to do that
would be both cruel and useless. and as for those
whose sympathies in this great contest with
Mr. Blaine's opponent, they viii see little cause
for dscouFagement in the election Of the Repub-
tcaD candidate for Secretary of State in Repub-
hcaN Ohio by majority of Is, 600 votes
POPULARITY OF BLAINE AND LOGAN.
Rev York Tribune.
The victory is largely due to the great popular
ity and the splendid personal leadership of Mr..
Blaine and Gen. Logan. Had these two power
full champions not taken the fiald in person, has!
they not gone straight to the people with clear
and cogent statements Of the Republican prin
ciples and aims, there might have been enough
Indifference to render the result doubtful; and
Dir Blaine especially, received with welcome
never given to another man in the country, has
shown that for once the candidate is stronger
than the party, and his personal strength was
not.diminished but increased by the ISLANDERS
with which his foes have out public pa
tience and disgusted sensible men, and Demo
Gratis will now say that Cleveland has beaten
them and is too heavy load to carry.
But they have not felt the full force of public
sentiment against MIN, and in Ohio many
thousands voted the Democratic State
ticket who have openly declared that, though
DONG so, they do not mean to vote for the white
washed saint and slam reforrner in November.
His friends can drag him off the field slain
already if they like 1t maks no difference No
man they can name can wrest the crown of vic
tory from the Republican champion. True
Americanism has triumphed. and British wishes
are not to be our letters. Protection of home
industry has triumphed and from this year no
party will dare TO commit itself to free trade.
WHAT WILL NEW YORK DO ABOUT TIT
New York star tDeFa.
The long agony is over in respect of the Octo
Der contests Ohio has spoken and West Vir
giuia given indication in respect of the final
declarations of November, and now what is New
York going to do about It'll There are new indi-
cations of the old grudge The hands that in
fiicted the heavy blows and great discouragement
in the summer time are, after four months of re-
Election and full time for remorse, if there had
been the grace left for its approach, are appar
entity raised to deal the death stroke, and not
only have they imperiled the action-they
would bring destruction within their domestic
lives. The tragedy of the murder would not be
complete without the finale of a suicide, and
in clubs, and lotteries, and holes, the consrir-
ators against Democracy, in the midst of Demo
Gratis, are rehcarsing the plot and preparing for
the representation They make no secret of
their designs. Pity it is for the actors that they
cannot conceal their motives Party jealousies,
and personal spites and paltry pretexts are the
basis on which they plant their material of war
fare, and matter to the promoters If the whole
structure Of Democracy should topple, so that
they enjoy the triumph of having defeated Tam
many. There might have been, in charity n
disposition to regard Chicago as a mistake.
There may be danger that New York shall have
to be interpreted as a crime The one deter
1nination should be to save New York for the
Democracy, and this can only be effected by c.
union of New York Democrats
