REPUBLICAN, VICTORY.
OHIO SPEAKS.


The news of the general result of the
Ohio election was received with great
enthusiasm on Tuesday evening. In
many towns and cities the demonstra-
lions were characterized by illumina-
lions. fireworks, waving of banners.
speeches, music, &c. In many of these
exhibitions of joy the ladies took a
conspicuous part.
The returns from Ohio are not
official. but it appears to be conceded
that the Republican majority in the
state will not vary much from $4,000.
This gives full satisfaction to Repub-
licans, as the most discreet of them
claimed only from 10000 to $4,000 be-
fore the election. A much larger Re-
publican majority is now assured in
the November election. Since 1856
there have been seven Presidential
elections; in each one of these tho Re-
publican majorities in Ohio were sever
al thousand larger in the November
than in the October elections. The
Republican majority at the October
election four years ago was 19,OO5; in
the November election of that year
darheld's majority was 1927. The
October elections have always been
more or less mixed with local aues-
lions; the general election in Noyem-
Der presents the national issues.
Invested of local politics, therefore the
friends of Blaine and Logan NAV con-
hdently expect majority more than
twice as large as that ON Tuesday last
There has been gain of two Repub-
lican members of Congress in Ohio.
and possibly three.
The Republican majority in Ohio
was over-stated in the FIRST reports on
Wednesday. This is accounted for
from the fact that the portion of the
state usually known as the "Wes tern
reserve" which was originally settled
by New Englanders, was first heard
from. These early settlers established
schools, planted churches, and en-
couraged the higher institutions of
learning, hence the Western Reserve

RESTRICTING THE LIQUOR
TRAFFIC.

To the Editor Of the Chicago Journal
CHICAGO, October 9. Those who are
opposed to restricting the sale of liquor
by high license, and the so-called
Prohlbitlonists, Notwithstanding the
protested hostility Of the two classes,
are tremendously endeavoring to assist
the lawless free-rum Democracy to re-
gain power. The prOhibitionists affirm
tat the license law legalizes drunkard
making Though in fact it fOrbids and
Furnishes it), and want the sale of LIQUOR
confined to the drug stores. Local
option, the right of towns and cities to
increase the amount of the license fee.
and all the safeguards thrown around
the sale of liquor, do not satisfy them.
The complaint of the liquor men is.
that their personal liberty is interfered
with, Notwithstanding the fact that
any man OF temperate and reasonable
habits can buy all the liquors he wants.
Bread is of more consequence than
either beer or an impracticable, vision
airy scheme of prohibition, and both
the liquor men and the Prohibitionists
will find it so, if they succeed in re-
storing the free-trade, shotgun, ballot
box-stuffing Democracy to power.
When free trade has ruined our manu-
facturers, crippled our finances, and
turned laborers adrift to vainly seek
employment, the bread question will
become vastly more important than
prohibition or free rum. The "vote.
as-yOu-pray" men, when their children
vainly ask for bread, will begin to re-
member that che that provideth not
for his own household is worse than an
inidel," and in their devotions they
may then give some attention to that
authorized prayer, Give us this day
our daily bread" HIGH LICENSE.

There are in all the towns in Keno
sha county staunch temperance men,
not a few of whom were pledged to
total abstinence years before those who
now identify themselves with the St,
John party were born. The great body
OF our Kenosha county temperance
people wisely conclude that voting the
Prohibition ticket will result in aiding
the liquor interest. How such voting
can help the cause of temperance the
world has never yet been enlightened.
There have been attempts made to ex-
plain how temperance can be benefited
by this method, but the arguments
given are illogical, and do not bear the
test of sound reasoning. We have no
word of censure for those Republicans
whose honest convictions lead them
to vote for ST. John and the state
prohibition ticket; there may be few
such i'll this county, but it is hoped be-
fore the election they will find it their
duty to give their support to that
party from which all temperance leg
islation of any value has emanated,
and not for the party from which moth
ing can be expected.

OHIO ELECTION.

Probably never before was there
such a profound interest manifested
throughout the states of the Union in
respect to the result of a single state
as in that of Ohio on Tuesday last.
Never before was there such a singu-
lar campaign. The Democrats did not
seek to enthuse the people by speaking
praisingly of their own candidate for
the Presidency; they kept him mostly
out of sight, not caring to hold him up
to the notice of the people. Their
chief political stock in trade consisted
in traducing Blaine, and exciting the
passions of the people against him.
On the other hand, the Republicans
enthused the patriotic voters by hold
ing up Blaine for his noble qualities of
craftsmanship, for life identified
with the great measures which have
contributed to our national prosperity.
The Republicans appealed to the rec
ond for the truth of their statements.
The Democrats could appeal to no rec
ord in the public life of Cleveland that
redounded to his credit; therefore SEN
sible voters could not fail to see their
duty plainly.

The heavy Indebtedness which has
for years beclouded this city and re-
tarded its prosperity has been meas
urably adjusted. Happily, this scare,
which has repealed the investment Of
business capital here, has been re-
moved. The council will hereafter
meet with full board, and the cor
porate business of the city will move
on without interruption, as in olden
times. What seemed to many an i'm
possibility has been achieved by per-
severing effort. Not few, years ago,
believed the Indebtedness too stipend
Gus to be cancelled in legitimate
way, and declared reputation an abso-
Lutte alternative. Fortunately, such
suggestions were u1heeded, and wiser
counsels prevailed. Somebody has
labored unremittingly in past months
to bring about long-wished-for con-

large majority of the young men in
the institutions of learning. In no
single instance have we noticed the
formation of a Democratic club, which
included majority of the students in
any prominent literary institution.
In all the northern states of the Union
it is truly remarked that educated
mind largely predominates in the ranks
OF Republicans. Find any town or
city which has a reading ard generally
educated American population, and
probably n nine cases out of ten
the politics Of the majority are Repub-
lican, The hope of Republican govern
ment, the freedom and perpetuity of
our free institutions, is an educated
people. Illiteracy and its inevitable
concomitants are the enemies of Repub-
licanism. The strongholds of the
Democratic party are ever found where
illiteracy congregates, and especially
where the gr0ggeries are freely patron
lied. There are many educated young
men in the Democratic party, but these
are exceptional cases, and by no means
the common rule.

VENTILATION IN THE SCHOOL
ROOM

As we enter upon the season of clos
ed doors and windows. and the use OF
Memberships and other means for ex-
GLIDING the fresh air, our thoughts
turn to the great number of children
in this latitude who are to spend a
large portion of their time, for many
months, in the close, sitting, vitiated
atmosphere Of the school-room; and to
the meagre provisions that are made
to relieve pupils and teachers from the
many evil effects that must result from
imperfect ventilation. The neglect of
this subject by school officers is deplor-
able, and in the greater number of
cIass-rooms we still find the only
provisions for ventilation are the doors
and windows, and blasts of cold air or
draughts from d0orways are forced
upon all who can no longer endure the
poisoned atmosphere of the crowded
, efforts to provide ventilation i'm the
true sense-that is. to effectually re-
move not only the rarifed, heated air
from the upper part of the room, but
also the more dangerous. poisonous
atmosphere below, by the operation of
the outer air, without producing the
positively injurious effects of draughts
and chills from doors and windows.
Among the responsibilities assumed
by school officers, we deem the proper
ventilation of the school-room to pre-
serve the health of pupils to be among
the most important. Moreover, it is
we'll known that a clear atmosphere
imparts mental vigor to pupil and
teacher, while close, sitting room
will render both unfit for the proper
Improvement of the time devoted to
the great work of education. Hence
we beg to ask school officers to look to
it that the time and labor of teachers
and pupils are not wasted through de-
reelection in respect to ventilation.
An ingenious device has been patent
ed that compels the outer air to pass
through a spiral passage and thus
create miniature whirlwind; the
current thus created whirls upward
and exerts a powerful draught upon a
fiue leading to the room and opening
within the spiral passage referred to.
This device is called the Universal
Ventilator, and is attracting consider
able attention, and the evidence from
banks and hotels where it has been
already applied prove the effects to be
very satisfactory.

ventllator, we inquired for one in
actual operation, and found 1t at Mr.

Now can there be a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION given why during a more

were heard of before? It is true the
Mulligan letters had been a raised

ject of investigation by a committee
composed of both political parties, and
Mr.. Blaine was acquitted of any fault
in the transaction. Is it not reason
able to conclude that if the wrongs Of
which Mr. Blaine is low accused of by
his enemies ever had semblance of
truth they would have been made pub

which he passed at Washington were
times of partisan strife, and men in
public life were liable to be assailed
for their offences. provided there were
grounds for it.
All parties concede that President
Garfield was an honest, conscientious

been satisfactorily answered why he

No man knew Mr.. Blaine better

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

On the next legislature of this state
will devolve the election of a United
States Senator; the present term of
Senator Angus Cameron expires on
the Sd of March next. No honorable
effort should be spared to secure the

near politically balanced that only
few Republican losses would give the
control of that body to the Bourbon
