or tho Great Republican Victory In Ohio
Last Tuesday. --s-.+,
Tho people OF Ohio have done we'll
their part to shape the history Of the next
twenty years. Thanks to God, who hath
again given tho victory to justice and
right. Thanks to tho true men Of Ohio,
who have not forgotten the sacred graves
OH their soil, or tho cause for which many
heroes, from the martyred President to
the private soldiers who died Of wounds
in war, willingly gave theirlives. Thanks
to the men OF other States who have met
the forces OF Democracy, concentrated on
this ,s chosen battlefield, and have helped
in the argument before the people to win
tho glorious triumph which the Nation
now hails.-Neu York Tribune. iE5t
The victory in Ohio has inspired the
Republican party throughout the whole
country with enthusiasm and confidence,
and from this time forward the contest
will be waged with u vigor that insurcs a
final and complete triumph.-Pitsburyh
Commercial Gazette. s-sy ~ d
The majority for General Robinson is a
good one. Considering the adverse forces,
it is great victory to have redeemed the
State. The Democratic majority OF last
year has been tremendously reversed, and
Ohio takes her place again in the Republic
can column. This is magnificent result.

The long agony is over in respect Of the
October contests. Ohio has spoken and
West Virginia given indications in re-
spect OF the final declarations OF Novem-
Der, and now what is New York going 10
do about it? There are new indications
OF the old grudge. The hands that in
ilicted the heavy blow and great discour-
agemcnt in the Summer time are, after
four months Of reilection-and full time
for remorse, II there had been the grace
left for its approach. are apparently raised
to deal the death stroke.-New York Star

This gratifying result will not only slim
Mate the Republicans with fresh zeal and
determination, but it will dispirit the
Democrats and decide the doubtful. It
shows the drift and sets the current iorthe
whole country. 1t leaves no reasonable
prospect OF defeating Blaine and Logan
Philadelphia Press.
The Republicans carried Ohio yester-
day by majority sufficiently decisive to
dispel, in IA great measure, the uncertain
ties which have OF lite cloudcd the cam
paign. So far the returns which have
been received Indicate that this majority
will be not less than 10000 and it is not
probable that the complete count of the
vote will materially Affect the estimate.

Z. The result Of the elections Of Tuesday
ought to convince the Democracy that It
will be idle to longer attempt to make the
campaign one Of men rather than of meas
urcs. The people are thoroughly aroused
to the fact that the tariff is the issue, and
in support Of that the majority vote was
east in Ohio for the party that created it,
and which is pledged by its record in the
past and its hopes for the future to MAIN
tain it.-PittsbuIyh Times.
TIE result in Ohio is victory wrcsted
from the most determined opposition. To
Republicans it brings encouragement. 10
the Democracy it carries disn,ay. No
struggle in SO limited field during the
last thirty years has cqualled it in inten-
sity, and perhaps, none ever equalled it in
the desperation Of its methods. Tie
Democrats entered upon the struggle MS
upon the struggle for life, knowing that
they could not afford to lose Ohio after
carrying ltin 1882 and 1883. To them the
loss OF Ohio means the vanishing of hone.
