THE "rIMRsn SAYS:
What is the result? A Republican loss

the vote OF 1880. The portions OF the
State heard from thus early are precisely
those in which the greatest influence has
been brought to bear by the Blaine ma

,tions that the average OF gain Will not be
kept up. From such result the sup,

that field the assurance of victory is al

we cannot see that the promised German
revolt and young Republican revolt have
satisfactorily materialized. In this
State, too, If the Democrats are to win,
they must count mainly on Democratic
votes and on an earnest, united front.
That is the naked truth of the situation.
The one determination should be to save
New York for the Democracy, and this
can only be effected by union Of New
York Democrats.
THE TRIBUNE SAYS:
The people of Ohio have done we'll
their part. The Democrats had delber-
ately chosen to stake all in tremendous
struggle in Ohio. They chose that State
for the Struggle because outrageous
frauds In the election of 1883 have given
them the State Government there. They
cheated all they could, and might have
cheated enough to succeed but for the
United States authorities interposlng.
The loyal voters sent down from
honest precincts an avalanche
of Republican majorlties under which
frauds were buried. The victory Is large
ly due to the great popularity and splen-
did personal leadership of Mr.. Blaine and
General Logan. West Virginia has done
grandly, though the result seems still In
doubt. 10 put Southern State 10

In such States have been in the habit OF
doing, Is In itself a splendid victory, and
In November with Mr. Blaine's great per-
sonal popularity, with the tariff question
brought home to the voters directly, and
with the sweep of the splendid victory in
ONO, 1t Is now seen to be not improbable
that West Virginia will swell the anthem
of Republican triumph. The battle Is
not yet over, but with proper efforts Its
end Is placed beyond doubt. True
Americanlsm has triumphed, and British
letters are net to be our letters. Pro-
lection In home industry has triumphed,
and from this day no party will dare to
commit itself to free trade.
THE HERALD SAYS:
1t Is known, as we 60 to press, that
West Virginia Is Democratic by from
5000 to 1000 and Ohio Republican by
from $4,000 to $1,000. The result OF the
most despe ate canvass ever made by
