OHIO!
II, 900 REPUBLICAN MAJORITY

A MaFniacent victory ON the state
Ticket and "a Gain Of Republican
COngressmen.
The result of the election in Ohio on Tues
day was a Republican triumph far beyond
the most sanguine estimates
The election was for secretary of state
judge Of supreme court, member of board
Of public works, and members Of Congress.
According to dispatches received up to
Thursday morning the Republican state tick
ct is elected by a majority Of not less than
10000
Some of the dispatches claim q Republi-
can plurality of 25, 900 to 80, 900, based on
on estimates Of the vote in the country towns.
The returns are slow in coming in, but the
Democracy have felt small interest in them
since Tuesday midnight.
What this victory means is the more evil
dent when it is remembered that the Demo
Gratis carried the state in 1882, and that in
the gubernatorial election of last year Gov
Hoadley, Democrat, was elected by a major
ity of u, G29. The indication, therefore, is
of a change of 5000 to 80, 600 against the
Democrats in a single year.
One of the most gratifying things about
the result of the election is the Republican
gain in the number of members of Congress
The returns, though not complete, indicate
the election of 10 Republican Congressman
out of 2O-a gain of six over the present
representation, which stands IS Democrats to
I Republicans.
The defeat of Frank Hurd, an outspoken
free.trader, in the Toledo district is especial.
ly gratifying to the Republicans. On the
other hand the election of a Democrat, by a
bare majority, in the strongly Republican
Cleveland district is one of the unpleasant
surprises of the election.

one man was fatally shot, and a woman
struck in the breast with q stone. She is
supposed to be mortally hurt. During the
whole afternoon at this precinct large crowd
remained and there were several minor dis.
turbances. In the 18th ward Albert Russell,
colored man, and John Oayne, a United
States deputy marshal, quarreled all the
morning, and at 11.45 o'clock Oayne drew
his revolver and shot Russell through the
stomach, killing him instantly. The MUIR
derer escaped. Late Monday night six dep
uty marshals were arrested by the police and
their surrender to the United States marshal
was refused. Later the marshal returned
with secret service officer and four deputy
marshals armed with a warrant from the
United States court for the arrest Of the three
policemen who had arrested the United States
marshals. He was informed that the ak dep.
utes had been released from custody. He
discovered that the three policemen for
whom he had warrants were concealed, but
afterward two Of them were arrested, and at
40 Tuesday A. NJ. they we're taken before

Of obsiructing United States marshals in the
discharge of their duty. They were released

For fortnight past the New York Sun has
been telling its Democratic friends that this
campaign of 1884 is proving and will prove
in its final result to be the exact counterpart
of that of 1872, when Horace Greeley was so
overwhelmingly defeated. As Horace Gree
ley was imposed on the Democrats by the
Liberal Republicans in 1872, so Grover
Cleveland has been imposed on them by the
same element in 1884 as Greeley was sup
ported by few " independents in 1872, so
Cleveland wins the support of few hide
pendents" in this campaign; as Greeley s
nomination made great revolt in the Demo
cratic party in 1872, SO Cleveland's nomina-
ton has compelled IAN organized, aggressive
revolt" in 1884 This is the Suns line of
parallelism, and now, since the Ohio election,
it finds its parallel complete, and triumphant
ly declares that Ohio performs for Grover
Cleveland in 1884 the same office which North
Carolina performed for Horace Greeley in
1872. 1t kills him as a candidate. The De
mocracy will not have Grover Cleveland for
President He does not represent the ideas
of democracy and he is not fit to be Presi-
dent" In 1880, after the Ohio election, the
Sun summed up its estimate of the political
situation by declaring that "Gen. Hancock
is good man weighing $50 pounds" At
that time it saw the handwriting on the wall
with startling clearness. Its vision Of the
inevitable, we believe is not less clear to day.

The Ohio XictorH.

Viewed in any light in which it can be plac
ed, the result of the Ohio election must be
accepted as an expression of the popular SEN
timent on the issues involved in this cam
paigu. To say that the Republicans used
every effort and spared neither money nor
work to win the victory does not help the
case for the Democracy, for they, too, made
desperate effort to keep their gains of last
year, and left no stone unturned to carry
their ends,
And when we speak of tissues we mean
not alone the issue of protection of American
industry or of protection of American citi-
zenship, though both of these have played &
leading part in the canvass in Ohio as they
do throughout the West We mean the issue
of personal character as between the two
leading candidates, Blaine and Cleveland.
The crowds which gathered at every point on
Mr.. Blsines journey through Ohio to catch
glimpse of the man and hear his voice were
phenomenal in their size, and the Republi-
cans counted, and counted well, on great ad.
vantage to their cause from the enthusiasm
and popular feeling which his contact with
the people would arouse. But the Democrats
also saw in these crowds their great opportu-
nifty, and they improved it to the utmost by
scattering broadcast among them campaign
documents the Mulligan letters, and their ac-
ouaations against Mr. Blsines character and
record, with every incident placed in the
worst light and given its worst coloring. This
was their deliberate method it was entirely
legitimate as campaign warfare goes, and il
was worked to the fullest possible advantage
The result shows what these tens of thous.
ands of people think of Mr.. Blaine and OF
the charges which are made against him.
Right or wrong, the mass of the people in
Ohio are for Mr.. Blaine and the policy which
he represents, and we firmly believe that the
result in that state is an example of what We
are TO see happen in every northern state
three weeks later.

CINCINNATI, Oct 1.-THE intense interest
which has been manifested as to the Ohio
election had caused some apprehension in re-
gard to the election passing of without
bloodshed. This fear was the cause of there
being stationed at the polls to-day between
5000 and 1000 officers in addition to the
regular police force. OF these 1900 were
United States deputy marshals, 1900 were
deputy sheriffs and about 800 were special
police. The latter were sworn in by the
Democratic mayor who has been bewailinp
the lack of funds to pay the regular force.
The marshRls were nearly all Republicans.
The deputy sheriIs were sworn in by Sheriff
Hawkins, and were all Democrats, while the
entire police force regular and special in
cluded Democrats with dozen or so excep-
tions. The main fear was that the national
county and municipal authorities would clash
and that a disturbance of alarming proper
tions would follow, but nothing so serious as
this happened, though in several wards the
petty quarrels grew to serious dimensions
Early in the day there vas a quarrel at pre-
cinct A. The polls were opened amid gen
eral fight, in which a deputy marshal was
badly beaten by special policeman and a
score of the combatants retired with black
eyes and bruised heads About 8 O'Clock the
fighting broke out afresh and mike" Smith
policeman, was felled to the ground with a
club in the hands of a deputy marshal. Or
der was again restored and the voting went
on quietly for the remainder of tine day. The
worst trouble of the day happened in one
of the precincts of the Sth ward, where a
number of colored deputy marshals came in
collision with deputy sheriffs and by-standers,
and as the latter were largely anti-Repubi-
can the colored men we're quickly routed,
/ but not till a number of shots were fired A
/ cry Of Lynch the negroes, was raised, and
a crowd rushed into the next street, after a

en- nearly to death. Another was struck in
/ the face with stone and his face smashed

How Blaine Received the News at DE.
ErOft.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. Il. Mr.. Blaine came
to this city to-day from Toledo On his arri
val at the Russell House this evening. throng
of $4,000 people filled the streets, and were
briefly addressed by him from the balcony.
MIR. Blaine did not come into his parlor at the
Russell House to receive election returns till
O'Clock. At that time he received enough
private dispatches from personal friends sta
toned at doubtful points throughout Ohio to
make him confident that the state had gone
Republican by decided sweep. de was very
much excited over the first reports, but he
waited fully an hour before he sent a despatch
to his wife assuring her of the Republican
victory. Soon after sending this despatch he
was called to Music hall to greet a packed
house anxious to see him. After most bois-
ferrous reception there, he returned to the
Russell House, where he received dispatches
until very late hour. As each despatch
came in, announcing Republican gains he
would dwell upon the fact that the contest in
Ohio had been regular pitched battle, where
every resource of both sides had been called
into play. Victory under such circumstances
was very dear to him, but after the first exh-
bition of citation he became very cool and
quiet, spending the greater part of the even
ing reading the newspapers that he had had
no time to read during the day.

where the Gains and Losses Were
Made.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 15.-From the very be-
ginning the returns showed considerable Re
publican gains over last year, when the Dem
ocratic majority was nearly 49, 600, and but
slight Republican losses on the vote of 1880
when the Republican majority was 10000.
The wine and wool counties gave the Demo.
Gratis trouble Their losses were considera-
BILE all along the northern line The reserve
Republican vote in the Western Reserve
came steadily forward in the returns and
gave large gains in the strong Republican
counties. In the large Democratic counties
to the west and southwest there were occa-
sional Democratic gains; sometimes consid-
cradle, but more frequently insignificant.
The average was very small. The hope of
Democratic headquarters was fed by private
dispatches, but their last prop went out from
under them when the news showed that Ham
ilton county, the Democratic stronghold, had
gone Republican,
