The Ohio Election rs ID Is Seen in Ne,
York

In speaking OF the result of the Ohio vote
the World says: "The increase in the vote
OF Ohio over that of four years ago is &C.,
600. The Democrats cast SO, 900 more than
they cast for Hancock, while the Repubi-
cans, in spite Of Blaine Dudley and corrup-
ton, cast only 10000 more than they cast
for Garfield. In other words, nearly two
thirds OF the new vote cast since 1880 went
Democratic, while large part of the Re-
publican, one-third was unquestionablo o5-
tanned by fraud and wholesale bribery in
the large cities"
If this indicates victory-if it shows that
anything like Blaine tide is rising any.
where-the radicals are welcome to the dis
'cOvery. Itsimply proves that Blaine, in
the banner October State never Demcc:sti,
in Presidential year since 1856, is far
weaker than Garfield, and it also indicates
that lfthe Democrats could gain about 40,
600 votes in Gsrfelds Republican State,
over those cast for Hancock, they should
and will gain at least 100, 900 in Democrat
ic New York, where nearly the whole Re-
publican press OF any responsibility, as we'll
as the stalwarts Germans and Prohibition
lists are in open revolt against Republican,
ism
So far now, from feeling depressed over
the contest in Ohio the Democracy here, on
obtaining the full facts have been more
than convinced Of a November triumph. 1t
is believed here that ylth the field cleared OF
Federal marshals, Dudleyism and fraud,
and with the independents free to declare
themselves on a straight issue between
Blaine and Cleveland, untrammeIcd by nat
ural preiudices on the State ticket, Ohio can
and will be redeemed next month. A
trifing change in each precinct would pluck
the State from the hands Of the enemy and
place it solidly in tie column Of Reform.
The Republican Policy
for the balance of the campaign is daily
Outlining Itself more clearly. Here Is the
situation: To the Solid South, now beyond
all doubt, the Democrats must add either
New York and Indiana or New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut The only way the
Radicals can checkmate Democratic success
is by capturing either the vote of New York
0r tie combined vote of Indiana and New
Jer ey. They lave canvassed the outlook
and made up their programme. The temp
er and strength Of Democracy in New York
Cit1-the absolute unity of all factions on
the Presidential ticket, and the certain fail
ure of all efforts to create a split or make
deals, or capture this rock,ribbed fortress by
fraud or intimidation have ted them to
abandon New York to the Democrats, and
mass all their remaining strength on In
diana and New Jersey. They have alrea "
commenced operations. In Indiana the
hordes of Pension agents, Operat.
ing under Dudley, have crossed over
from the Ohio VINEYARD and commenced
peddling off claims for votes, just as TetIel
peddled papal indu'gences for cash in the
dawn of the Reformation. And as Tetzel
met with a Luther so Dudley will meet with
he ayenging wrath Of an outraged people
in the shape of 6 Democratic cyclone. They
have also begun TO honeycomb the State
with federal bulld5ssTs While Blaine and
Dick Thompson are waving the bloody
shirt and irving to galvanize the corpse OF
the shotgun policy for campaign use
Blaine henchmen are arming the mlnons
of the Artorney-General Department with
clubs and revOl ers for thn open purpose OF
suppressing free and fair verdict at the
North.
The same
Radical Shotgun Policy
has shown its loathsome features in New
Jersey The plan has been divuIged. 1t
is TO crowd the heavy Democratic districts
with armed deputies in the hope OF de.
bauching the polls. Money will be plenti-
fully supplied for use on the needy work
ingmen in that State, whom the Republican
policy of protection has driven from the silk
looms to the streets Jay Gould has several
age nts now in New Jersey ferreting out the
needs Of special localities and when the
time comes he will open his purse. Gould
has been placed in charge OF New Jersey.
Providence has been with the Democratic
cause. The Radicals can take no
sup which is not promptly
diuged and offset by Dcmoratic
adroituess, Not the slightest tear is felt
here for either Indiana or New Jersey. An
unterrifed organization with Hendricks at
the head, will save Indiana; while, as for
New Jersey, she has not since Grants run
against Greelv, gone Republican for
generation past and there is not powder and
ball enough left after Ohio IN the radical
arsenal for them to lombard the State as
heavily as they did in 1880, when little
Jersey came up smiling for Hancock. The
Democracy is now better united than ever
before
The Empire State.
The ststus of New York State is now be-
vond all doubt. Betting is even on 10000
Democratic majority and the figures will
more likely exceed this The Butler ele-
ment, confined chiefly to the Irish and
workingmen, has dwindled till scarcely a
decent skeleton is left The Independent
strength actually enrolled and organized is
over IS 900 The King county (Brooklyu)
majority will fall little short Of . 900, The
New York City Democracy is now
on its metal Generally fusion local
ticket has opened the field for trades. Now
three local tickets are on deck Tammany
has one the county Democracy and the
ciuzens committee another, and the Re.
publicans third. The voting strength Of
the county Democracy is known, and If
there is any significant difference between
the Tsnuany poll for Mayor and Cleveland,
the responsibility will be fixed at once. But
this need not be feared. Tammany on We'd
nesday night made display Of 30 900 strong
in parade, and John Kelly made speech
that rang with loyalty to the national cause.
There is even happier party and far more
outside strength than we had in 1876, when
Tilden scored 10000 majority.
