well face them. Often the rum
ruined wretch forbids his family
to attend church. Generally the
wife feels the touch Of her husbands
degradation and shrinks from the
public gaze. The unkind remark.
There goes the wife Of drunkard,
pierces her sensitive soul, and she
avoids contact with people: She
walls out her bitter life in the ex-
cruciating solitude of her misera-
BILE home, unloved, forgotten. The
family Of many a drunkard has
nothing decent to wear, and so are
kept from church. Such is the case
with some in Morgantown.
But enough. hope you see the
whisky traffic is everlastingly
against the church; let the church
be everlastingly against the liquor
traffic. We are not doing all we
could; but we are doing something.
Every Christian pulpit is thunder
ing against drunkard-makin Woe
to the man who putteth the bottle
to his neighbours lips. Every pa
triot is guarding against voting for
wh;skyites. Christians are working
and praying and watching, Many
of the press are lending their help.
Good women have sworn in wo-
mans might that their homes shall
be protected from this home-de-
stroying curse. Sermon and song
and speech and prayer and ballot
and press are blended in one great
stream, to wash from the earth the
stain of this arch crime. The fight
has begun in earnest. State after
State is wheeling into line. West
Virginia is there. The star of her
hope has set once or twice, but it
is rising again, l hope to set no
more.
In the midst of the struggle there
comes a thought that encourages
me. God reigns in justice and
Judgment. He hears the cry OF
widow and orphan and mother
robbed of husband father and son.
He hears the prayer Of Christians
for God and Home and Native
Land. He is on the side of right.
Cog and Magog may gather them
selves together to battle, but they
that be for us are more than they
that be against us. My hope is
not in man alone. | believe in
God the Father Almighty, and in
His son Jesus Christ. They have
set themselves against wrong-do-
ing, and the liquor traffic must go!

A LESSON OF POLIrEN Ess.

AT Derby, Judge Maule was in the act
Of passing sentence upon man, when
the Governor of the County Jail came to
the table to deliver some calendars to
members of the bar, and, in so doing,
passed between the prisoner and the
Judge. Maule thereupon intimated to
the Governor that, in SO doing, he had
outraged one of the best-known conven-
tional rules of society. "Don't you
know" said the Judge, "you ought
never to pass between two gentlemen
when one gentleman is addressing an
otherf" The offender against this con-
ventional rule apologized and retired,
whereupon the Judge sentenced the
other gentleman to seven years trans
portation. .--AU the Year Round.

FOR CONGREss,

The Size Of it.

No Democrat who has read the
Courier-Journal will be disappointed
by the returns from Ohio. AS we
pointed out long ago, nothing short
of a revolution or miracle could
lose the State to the Republicans.
With the result we are well content
ed. 1t leaves the campaign where it
found it, and gives the Democracy all
the advantages for the home-stretch.
Ohio was indispensable to the Re-
publicans. If it is not Republican,
no State is Republican. To have lost
it Tuesday would have been fatal to
the Republicans. 1t would have
knocked the bottom out of the Blaine
Tub. The Republican managers real
lied this from the start, and they pro-
vided to make assurance doubly sur!.
All the resources within the reach
of the Blaine National Committee
were put in requisition and strained
to the utmost.
All the influence and power of the
Government were arrayed and put in
the field.
Blaine and Logan repaired to the
scene Of action and gave themselves
up to All orgy of excitement and cor
ruption.
The commissioner of Pensions, with
an army of detectives, in the person
of Special Examiners, was there TO
coax, buy and browbeat the soldier
vote.
Thousands of negroes we're import.
ell from Kentucky.
The ready revolver was around
In portions of the state a reign Of
terror prevailed and, when bullying
would not suffice, money flowed a.
free as water.
Garfield carried the State by $4,000
Blaine has carried it by less thar
10000.
1t is to him an omen of defeat
In West Virginia the Democrats dc
not decrease their majority as the
Republicans do their majority in
Ohio, but they increase it, and il
spite of Dlaine's speeches and Elkins
and his gang, sweep the State.
Three weeks hence the Republicans
can not mass their forces on single
State. They will have to stretch on
all along the line. They will have t.
fight for Massachusetts, and Iowa
Michigan is doubtful State. Hi.
nois is a doubtful State. Kansas ant
Nebraska are debatablc States, while
the odds are with the Democrats in
Wisconsin.
On the whole, we regard the out
look, by the light of the returns W,
publish this morning, as most auspic
ious for a national Democratic
victory three weeks hence.-Couricl

The Chic Defeat.

1t is not a Democratic defeat, but a
Republican disaster. The Democrat
ic gain OH the Republican majority Of
October, 1880, is about 5000, The Re-
publican majority will not exceed TO-
600.
Dudley's claim, the night before
election, was that the Republican ma
jority would be from 1900 to 10000.
He also claimed l5ofthe 81 Congress-
men.
The result shows but ten thousand
majority on the State ticket and pro-
badly eleven of the twenty Con-
gressmcn, Democrats.
But for the armed Intervention OF
the United States government in the
large cities of, the State, the Demo-
Gratis would have swept Ohio by
handsome majority. AT last 10000
illegal Republican votes were cast UNI
der cover of the cowardly and law
less assaults made upon the polls by
the murderers and thieves acting as
Deputy United States Marshals,
while probably 5000 Democratic
votes were not polled in the State
that would have been polled but for
intimidation by these armed United
States Marauders.
The Democrats gained heavily in
the county districts, where the cleo
lions were peaccable and honest. The
farmers are with us in Ohio as they

The small Republican majority Of
ten thousand in Ohio not only makes
Indiana secure for the Democracy,
but it places Illinois and Michigan in
the list of doubtful States, makes Wis
consin almost certainly Democratic,
and compels the Republicans to fight
the battle over again in Ohio on the
4th of November if they hope to save
it for Blaine!

In West Virginia the Democrats
have achieved a victory so decided
that Blaine will readily recognize
that any efforts to carry the State
next month will be absurd. West
Virginia is just as reliably Demo-
cratic as Kentucky ana is no longer
a doubtful State.
The following is list of the killed
and wounded in the election rows
in Cincinnati:
Killed-Albert Russell, (colored).
WOunded-Joe Lowry, shot in the
spine, fatal; Bridget Hughes, struck
in the breast with boulder, danger
Gus; John Murphy, shot in the stom-
ach, flesh wound; Andrew Bennett,
colored, shot in the side, not danger
GUS; John Dalton, shot in the leg,
not dangerous, Sam Taylor, co!ored
shot in the side, serious; Mike Cor
man, policeman, shot in the back,
dangerous; Henry Sherlock, police
man, shot in the back, dangerous ;
Henry Brown, colored, shot in the
abdomen. The last three were
wounded in the ARRAY at the corner
Of Sixth and Freeman Streets late
Tuesday night. Between fifty an onc
hundred people took partin the fight
which grew out of an attempt of Cor
man to arrest negro. German was
shot in the back by an unknown per-
son and general fusilade followed
in which 100 shots were fired. The
riot alarm was sounded and the dis
turbance was quellcd after the two
policeman and Brown had been shot.

HOW TIE LEADERS FIGURE.
A prominent Democratic politician
reasons as follows about the election
"The heavy Republican gains hav
been made in the city, whereas tn
Democrats have gained in the coun
try. Thus in Columbus the Repub
licans have gained, but in the bac
township of Franklin we have game
enough to keep the Democratic ma
jority where it was. This will b
found to be the case in the town
ships of other strong Democrat
counties not yet heard from and tn
Republican majority will be reduce
below 10000"
The Republican leaders do no
concede this, but they are on tn
lookout for reductions below tn
highest figures set at late hour las
night. They talk Of improper ma
nipulations, but say that under tn
conditions Of the campaign, and Obi
having been carried by the Demo
Gratis two years in succession, an
majority is triumph. Thus tn
leaders are watching for the final re
turns,
