New YORK, Oct. 15.-''The net result of
the most successful canvassever made by the
Republicans says this mornings Herald,
lean scarcely raise Republican hopes of a
favorable result in November. In October,
1880, the Republicans carried Ohio by 49,
600. In that year they spent their huge cor
ruption fund mainly in Indiana, then an
October state, which they carried by Dor
sey's administration of SOAP and new $50
bills This year, under the manage
ment of an Indiana politician. Pension
Commissioner Dudley, the Republican
Indiana methods and soap were concen-
trated in Ohio and Mr.. Blaine was paraded
over the state. In Cincinnati, as the Herald
correspondent relates, 5000 Republicans,
deputy United States marshal, an army of
disreptables, large proportion not even in
habitants Of Ohio, were given control of the
polls, and will of course be paid out of the
United States treasury for their
scandalous and murderous partisan work, and
the Republican headquarters were actually in
the custom house, as they used to be in New
Orleans in old aud corrupt carpet bag days.
scarcely fail to shock and disgust reputable
voters in all parts Of the country. The
Democrats have no reason to be discouraged
at the result of yesterday, but, on the con-
trary, the Blaine men have spent their
strength on blow which hurts them far
more than il does their antagonists
The World says: 1.-The victory of the
Democracy in West Virginia yesterday is the
groundwork of victory in the nation next
month. 1t proves that all the power of the
Republican and Butler parties
combined is insufficient to break
the solidity of the Democratic states.
1t insures Grover Cleveland's election by the
aid of New York and Indiana alone. The
Empire state will prove true to its record. 1t
has tried Grover Cleveland and found him
faithful to his trust. 1t will give him its
electoral vote as il gaze it to Horatio Sey-
mour and Samuel ]. Tilden."
This mornings Times says: "After can
vass unprecented in the history of American
politics, canvass which has placed the full
strength of their bad case before every voter
in the state, and left no appeal unused, no
enticement untried, the Republicans have
carried Ohio by a majority 5000 less than
that given the Republicans in the October
election of 1880. If the supporters of Mr..
Blaine can derive any comfort from this re-
suit they are welcome to it.''

BosToS, Oct 15.-The Advertiser says it
cannot regard the Ohio result as proclaim
ing the result of the presidential election, to
repeat the expression used by Mr.. Blaine at
Sandusky. 1t may transfer the interest of
of the struggle for the next three weeks to
other quarters, but it is too nearly a drawn
battle TO be significant of the future in states
like Indiana and New York, or to have any
great moral influence in states on which the
election must finally turn, that by unparal-
leled exertion Mr.. Blaine has been able to carry
the strength of his party in the state election
proves little as to the outcome of
November, and, on the other hand
it has now been shown In a most
onspcuous manner that his name has no
special magic and that with him as candi-
date it is only by the hardest of fighting that
great Republican state can be kept in line.
The Post saws: The Democrats have
passed in safety the only ambush in which
great danger Iurked. They have lost no
prestige in Ohio. They have shown by the
West Virginia result that the natural ten
dency Of the campaign is entirely in their
favor, and they have prevented any check of
the tide that has shown such a strong set
toward Cleveland these many weeks. The
result gives Republicans An opportunity to
deny that they are beaten on the grand issue,
but that denial will not alter the fact or blind
the eyes Of the people to it. There must be
no relaxation of hard and courageous work
By the Democrats, and with such work Cleve-
land will be elected president if he lives.
The Globe says the vote appears to have
been the largest ever cast in the state, and of
this the Democrats have gained their
full proportional share. With West Virginia
by an increased majority, and the success
full holding down of the Republican majority
in Ohio Democrats everywhere may conf
dentially look forward to victory in Novem-
Der.
