captured In 1880, rebukcs Islander by plurality
Of 600, gain Of l3 per cent Of its entire VOTE
West Virginia, in place Of IL 900 plurality for
Hancock, now falls below 3,O0O-a Republican
gain Of per cant, which kIndles hope that the
50 votes Of a solid South may he broken in
November. But the result IN OHIO is q
revolution and a prophecy. Only year
ago Democratic by 1900. and two years
ago by $4,000 plurality, Ohio now gives IL, 600
plurality for the lowest Republican state candi-
date, and on national Issues $4,000 for the Re-
publican congressman. Holding the state and
local offices and the whole machinery of cleo
tions the Democrats scattered corruption
money with lavish hand, colonzed voters, i'm
ported professional reporters, and in spite OF the
most strenuous efforts to enforce the law against
them, cast many thousands Of fraudulent votes.
because OF this power they had chosen to stake
ell upon that state, declared that it would fore
shadow the result in November, and were
strongly certain Of success. They filled
the air with Islander. Local issues led
many voters to disregard national ques-
tioos Against such odds the magnificent
victory is prophecy of 10000 plurality for
Blaine and Logan in November. With the ratio
OF gain in other states, 1t foreshadows an in.
crease OF 100000 in the Republican national
vote, and the largest popular majority ever given
to any candidate These victories show the de.
termination Of the people that as Lincoln Grant
and Garfield were slandered in vain, 80 the fore
most statesman Of to day shall not be driven
from the peoples work by the tongue OF
malice. They show that the Republican party,
which was the flst to resist and uproot the
dogma OF perpetual allegiance" to
foreign power, is chosen by the nation to defend
all rights Of American citizens abroad. They
show that 80 long as the Democratic party rests

BENEFITS OF PROTECTION.
They show that the people will not abandon
the protection of American industry. unde,

twenty years IS it gained in al it's previous his

has lifted wages 81 per cent higher here than IL

blind adherence to British theories Of flee trade
Now neither dcceitful platform nor a. dumb
candidate avails to check tho stampede from the
party. For its voters know that protection has
made the rewards Of labor greater here than in
any other country on earth.
The national committee appeals 10 the people
TO make the victory decisive. It Is no time fo1
overconfidence, or for neglect Of any prope,
effort. Bare success Is not enough. 1t is tint
to put an end to the agitation By
which the Democratic party prostrates bushes,

splendid prosperity which they promote shall
not again be interrupted by the struggle Of OBJ

mastery Of this continent. The grandest part
OF the grandest history ever made by any ma

rests with You, Republicans of the nation, to
carry forward the work which you and your
fathers have begun, and to which 80 many brave
and faithful men have given precious lives, thai
