1he New York and Chicago Press ON the
Ohio Election.
New York Tribune: The people OF
Ohio have done well their part to shape
the history OF the next twenty years.
Thanks to God, who hath again given
the victory to justice and right. The
democrats bad deliberately chosen to
stake all IN tremendous struggle in
Ohio, and for weeks they have been
boasiing and chuckliug that they have
stolen march on the republicans and
had got Ohio sure. The victory islaree.
| ly due to the great popularity and the
splendid personal leadership of MIR.
Blaine and Gen. Logan; the democrats
will now say that Cleveland has beaten
them and is too heavy load to carry.
But they have not yet felt the full force
of the pubic sentiment against him.
His friends can drag hlm off the field as
slain already, if they like; it makes no
difference. No man they can name can
now wrest the crown of victory from the
republican champion.
New York Herald: The net result OF
the most desperate canvass ever made
by the republicans can scarcely raise
their hopes Of a favorable result in
November. The democrats have no
reason to be discouraged at the result of
yesterday, but on the contrary the
Blaine men have spent their strength in
a blow which hurts them far more than
| it does their antagonists.
New York Sun: The republicans
carried OHIO yesterday by vote suf-
| ticiently decisive to dispel, in a great
measure, the uncertainties which have of
late clouded the campaign. In Hamil-
ton county, the large German vote that
has enabled the democrats to carry the
county for two successive years, appears
to have gone to the republicans, as it
usually does in presidential years. The
returns show that the democrats lost
much of the Irish vote. We think
Cleveland is beaten.
New York Star: Ohio has spoken and
West Virginia given indication in re-
spect TO the final declarations of Novem-
Der. And now what is New York going
to do about it? There are new indica-
tions of the old grudge. The hands that
inflicted the heavy blow in the middle of
the summer time are, after four months
OF reflection, apparently raised to deal
the death stroke. In clubs and coteries
and halls the conspirators against democ.
rscy in the mask of democrats are re.
hearsing the plot and preparing for its
presentation. Party jealousies and per-
sonal spites aud paltry pretexts are the
bases on which they plant their material
OF warfare, and no matter to the promo
ters, If the whole structure of democracy
should topple SO that they enjoy the
triumph OF having defeated Tammany
There might have been, in charity, q
J. 10
mistake; there may be danger that New
York shall have to be interpreted as 9
crime. The one determination should
be to save New York for the democracy
and this can only be effected by un1or
, of New York democrats.
N. Y. World: The result of the election
in Ohio yesterday is drawn battle, Will
slight advantage for the democracy.
The republicans repeat their victory O
, twenty eight years ago in the state, bu
, their majority is reduced and they have
the disturbing element of st. Johns spirl
in the canvass threatening them mex
! month. Blaine is shown not to be tht
] true heir OF Garfield. It changes th,
{ battle ground from republican strong
hold to democratic state with a glo
! rious record. New York again becomes
q the battle ground for the presidency
: The empire state is sure for Cleveland
q and New York means victory.
Chicago News: Ohio has gone repub
lican by majority exceeding l2,O0t
l. We think it may be said in all fair
t ness that such result was not alto
q gether unexpected. A very marked i'm

II Gratis are to win at all 1t will only b
It after now doubly desperate struggle
q Iowa and Illinois, which yesterday hun
trembling in the balances, are no longe
doubtful. In Wisconsin and Michiga
the skies are Frightening over the hea,

J. campaign Is again as it was at the open
