Ohio-Prsss Opinions.


The New York Herald says: The
democrats have no reason to be dis.
couraged at the restilt be yesterday,
but on the contrary BlainS men have
spent their strength on blow which
hurt them far more that 1t does their
antagonists.
The New York Times says: After
a canvass altogether unprecedented in
the history of American politics-a
canvass which has placed this fhit
strength of their case bef0te every yot.
er in Ohio and left no appeal unused;
no enticement untried-they have car
ried Ohio by 9,UO0 less than that given
to the republican ticket in the October
electiot of 1880.
If the supporters ST Mt. Blaine can
derive any comfort from this result
they are welcome to it. II In the Ohio
returns they can find any reasons for M
dulging pleasing delusions that their
candidate will secure majority of the
electoral votes of the country in No:
vember, we would not rob them of that
fieeting JOY, TOR tok5o that would be-
both cruel and useless. AS for those
whose sympathy in this great contest
are with Mt. Blaine's opponent, they
will see little cause for encouragement
in the election of the republican candi-
date for secretary of state in republi-
can ohio by majority Of l0,OOc votes:
The ST. Louis Republican says: The
elections in the two states of Ohio ana
West Virginia Tuesday resulted in 4
stand off, the republicans carrying the
first and the democrats the second:
The returns from Ohio indicate ma
jority of about 10000. This is less than
one-third Garfield's majority-3i, 900
in 1850. AS this is presidential wear, It
is the latter vote that this vote should
be compared with.
West Virginia gives democratic
majority of about 5000.
The result of Tuesdays Voting,
therefore, leaves the presidential con-
test just where it was before. 1t is
yet to be determined. The republicans
have always carried Ohio in a presiden-
tial year, and this victory is, therefore.
not "a gain. Had they lost the state the
presidential contest Would have been
settled, and settled against them. ALI
that they can claim is ground for con-
tinuing the combat.
They claimed West Virginia. and
have lost it, and That, too, in spite of
their chieftain's visit to that part of
the battlefield. 1t is conceded that
Ohio will vote for BlaineEin November
and even this is far from certain-it
will have to be admitted along with
this that West Virginia is sure for
Cleveland--and that the main battle is
yet to be fought IN ths Democratic;
states of New York, New jersey and
Indiana-with all the chances in favor
of Cleveland and Hendricks.
Kansas City Times: Now then our
highly esteemed republican friends will
have to spread themselves. They must
fight for Wisconsin, Michigan, Connec-
ticut, New Jersey, Ohio, New York.
Indiana, Neyada and California. For
them each and every one of these
states are doubtful. TIE Democracy
have only to carry New York and Indi-
ana to win. They can concentrate eve
rything on these two states.

In recent speech in New York, st.
John said: The republican party had
been in power thirty-four years, and
during that time had so carefully pro-
tected the liquor dealers that the num-
Der Of saloons in this country had in
creased during that time to la, 800.
Liquor dealers could not remain in bus
iness without the permission of the
government. There was liquor saloon
in the capital at Washington, and there
was enough in the White House to start
three saloons. Some people say wo. t

Mr.. SPEAKER: enter my protest
against the passage of this act, and L,
submit the following as some of the
reasons for my voting against 1t:
1t makes the buying Of wine for sac
ramental purposes a crime; it is oppres-
sive, inquisitorial and simpertinent in
its effects, and will engender and orgari-
ize strife and malicious prosecutions in
many communities.
1t is All open and palpablc violation
of several provisions OF the constitution
of this state.
1t destroys private property without
compensation.
1t provides for iBvasions Of even pri-
vate residences, and proposes to declare
them nuisances, for contemplate and
impertinent purposes.
Itdestroys the confidential relations
heretofore existing between the ply
sician and his patient.
It denies the farmer the use Of his
vineyard and orchard for purposes
heretofore regarded as legal and hon.
orable.
1t destroys the breweries Of the state
| without compensation.
| II offers bribes for its execution, fos-
tiers the vocation Of the informer and
blackmailer and uses the courts of JUS
tice for inquisitional and impertinent
purposes.
1t allows courts of justice to bg used
to crafty malice, and to encourage NAL
iciOus prosecutions.
1t provides for change Of the usuaI
