THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN.
The Moral of the Ohio Election A
Free Trader Converted, etc.
what the Papera SAY Of ONO.

Inter Ocean: The result in Ohio is greas
and glorious. Itproyes that the patriotism Of
the American people cannot be lulled to slum-
Der or beguiled into again intrusting the desti-
nies of the republic to those whose hands are
still red with the blood of their assaults upon the
nations life. II proves, also, that the Ameri-
can people discriminate keenly between accu-
sation and evidence, and that protection to
American industries is the settled doctrine Of
the country for al least four years
New York Tribune: The people Of Ohio
have done well their part to shape the history
of the next twenty years Thanks to God,
who hath again given the victory to justice
ana right The Democrats had deliberately
chosen to stake all IN tremendous struggle in
Ohio, and f0rsweeks they have been boasting
and chuckling that they have stolen the march
on the Republicans and had got Ohio sure.
The victory is largely due TO the great popu-
larity and splendid leadership Of Mr. Blaine and
Gen Logan, the Democrats viii now say that
Cleveland has beaten them and is to heavy
load to carry. But they have not yet felt the
full force of the public sentiment against him.
His friends can drag him off the field as slain
already, if they like; it makes no difference.
No man they can name can now wrest the crown
of victory from the Republican champion.
New York Sun: The Republicans carried
Ohio yesterday by a vote sufficiently decisive
to dispel, in great measure, the uncertainties
whichhave of late clouded the campaign In
Hamilton county the large German vote that
las enabled the Democrats to carry the county
for two successive years appears to have gone
to the Republicans, as it usually does in presi-
Dental years. The returns show that the
Democrats lost much of the Irish vote. We
think Cleveland is beaten.
+ Chicago Tribune: 1t will not do for the
democratic managers to say that that ''they
expected to lose Ohio They expected no
such thing They fought tooth and nail to
carry ii in the knowledge that it was indispen-
sable to the success of tie national ticket They
might have carried 1t ON the chief local issue
which they forced into the canvass-~the liquor
queshon-as they had done two years in sue
cession, if the importance of the national
struggle had not been superimposed, As it is,
they probably polled $1,000 more votes than
they viii be able to poll three weeks hence, for
Blame is that much stronger than his party in
Ohio on state issues.
Globe Democrat: The Democrats seemed
to have polled larger vote than ever before,
while the Republicans drew ON their reserve,
which has laid dormant for three years past.
The exercise of all the powers known to the
Democracy in the way of repeaters, chemical
ballot, the outright purchase of votes, and all
the devices of fraud were unavalling, and Ohio
stands side by side with Maine and Vermont
in the Republican column.
Ohio's voice The noble old state always does
her duty when there is crisis. There was
crisis this year. Upon Ohio depended in
great measure whether Republican principles
should continue to be the guiding principles
of the nation.
