THE ELECTIONS YESTERDAY.

So far as the incomplete returns re-
ceived at this Office last evening indi-
cato, the state of Ohio has gone Repub-
lican by a good majority. This was to
be expected. 1t is no source of discour-
agoment to the Democracy, Tor
since the organization Of tho Re
publican party Tho state has al
ways strongly sustained the Repuhli-
can party nationally. In West Virginia,
a state the Republicans were confidently
counting upon carrying, the indications
arc that tho Democrats have achieved a
splendid victory.
Under such circumstances, the results
yesterday may bo regarded as a stand
oil, therefore.
In this connection IL may be OF in
forest to note the results Of elections in
Ohio since 1856 ~ found in the following
clipping from the st. Louis Republican;
Ever since 1859 Ohio has cast Repub-
lican majority in the election Of prosi-
dontial years. To-day the full weight OF
tho Republican party is pressing upon
the state, aud all the power contained in
money and trioksry, together with tn,
"mugnotism" OF the "railroad cham
pion," is in opposition to the Democrat,
and honest Republican vote.
Should Ohio, therefore, glvos mNorit.

upon a broad, national democratic
ground Per' APPS the convention and
the great ex-president were right, but
there W ere many good democrats who
tooF umbrage at the simple advice to
support the democratic ticket"
While this objection can be urged |
against TILpEN, it cannot be urged
against that other grand old sage OF the
Democracy, Ex-Gov. SEYMOUR. He has
spoken out and most bitterly regretted
the fact that increasing age and infirm-
ties prevented him from taking an act
i've canvass in the campaign. But his
letter to tho New York Herald is one OF
the finest campaign documents of the
season.
Among other things the great ex-gov-
ernor comes nobly TO the front in the
following emphatic endorsement of Mr..
CLEVELAND! "Gov. CLEVELAND, the
Democratic candidate, is an able, firm
and thoughtful man, who has risen
the position of governor of this state by
: the faithful performance of duties in the
official positions he has held. His un-
linching courage in carrying out his
trusts and his unquestioned integrity
give him strong hold upon the conf
: denco of the public. The excitement OF
4 the presidential contest have not drawn
him away from his duties at the capitol
I of this state"
l. Where could there be in New York
A II more emphatic testimonial tC
u the official integrity of a man than thi s.
/ From whom could testimonial more
IL fittingly and strikingly come than from
Gov. SEYMOUR?
y But Gov. SEYMOUR points out will
" admirable clearness, the absurdity, tn
al ialsity OF the doctrine that tho Republi
cans are teaching, that the chief issue O
tho campaign is protective legislation,
- The chief issue Of the campaign is ad
=, ministrative reform.
or There is no free trade party in Anne
III lea. No party has declared for fire
y. trade. It's only a question Of tariff an
administrative reform.
- In such an issue who car hesitate

II is said that WASH JONES has
hushed up at the request of his friends,
who say that he has lost fifty per cent.
of his votes and friends by his letter and
speeches. His introduction by DAVIS
fossils, NEwCoMB and DEGREES, and
his acceptance Of the invitation of, and
reception by tho colored clubs OF Aus
tin and San Antonio don't set well ON
the stomachs of his Greenback and
Democratic friends. Then his Republic
can friends are hot because he insin-
uated in his speeches that BELvA
LOCKWOOD was preferable to BLAINE OF
any of the rest of tho presidential can
didates. In his attempt to recruit from
all parties, WASH JONES has made {
devil of n political mess Of it, and dis
gusted the thinking men of all parties
He is not separating state and nationa
politics TO any great extent.

past cornfield, near Guthrie, ten miles
east Of here, yesterday, one of three ne
