The Result In Ohio.

The result IN Ohio is about as was
anticipated. A republican loss over
1880 is indicated, with at least SIX
times the effort to carry the state that
was made four years ago. This shows
as fully and as conclusively as figures
can show the decadence of republi-
canism, the lack of proper confidence
in the republican standard bearer and
the determination Of the people to
change the administration of the
government.
The democracy of Ohio have
fought a gallant fight. They have
kept faith. They have deserved the
fullest triumph and the grandest vic
tory, though their efforts have not
met with the fullest fruition. They
have demonstrated that there is q
lack of confidence in Mr.. Blaine's
honesty and that the people feel that
the country would not be safe in his
hands.
They have also shown that they
can win in November if they choose
to make the effort.
The st. John vote will then be q
factor that will be felt. The issue
will be made more directly on MIR
Blaine, and the independent vote
that still votes the republican ticket
on state issues, will be felt in the
presidential contest. But the rea'
issue is now transferred to New York
and India. The result in Ohio. will
not in the slightest degree change the
result in these two states. 1t will be
as from the begining-democratic.
West Virginia goes democratic.
