Ohio Goes Republican by a Small Ma
iority-West Virginia Democratic
SoIid-Neck and Neck for the
Next President.
How OHIO NOTES IN NOVEMBER.

The elections in the two states of
Ohio and West Virginia Tuesday
resulted in a stand-off, the Republi-
cans carrying the first and the Dem
ocrats the second. The returns from
Ohio indicate a majority of about H.
900 for the Republican candidate for
secretary of state; it may reach IA
900. This is less than one-half Gar
fields majority-34,OO0- 1880. As
this is presidential year, it is the lat
ter vote that the present result should
be compared with.
West Virginia gives a Democratic
majority of about 5000.
The result of yesterdays voting,
therefore, leaves the presidential con-
test just where it was before, it is yet
to be determined. The Republicans
have always carried Ohio in a presi.
Dental year, and this victory is not.
therefore, a gain. Had they lost the
state, the presidential contest would
have been settled, and settled against
them. All that they can claim is
ground for continuing the combat.
They claimed West Virginia and
have lost it-and that, too, in spite
of their chieftain's VISIT to that par
of the battlefield. If it be conceded
that Ohio will vote for Blaine in No
wonderland even this is far from
certain-it will have to be admitted
along with this that West Virginia il
sure for Cleveland-and that tn
main battle is yet to be fought in tn
Democratic states of New York, Nev
Jersey and Indiana-with all tn
chances in favor of Cleveland ant
Hendricks.

We learn that George, the English
pedestrian, has lowered his own rec
ord. Mr.. Blaine, however, doesn't
make any effort to lower his, because,
in all probability, he considers it i'm
possible to get it lower.
