What the Ohio Victory Proves.

In the first place it proves that republicans
have not lost faith in the party which has
shown its trustw orthiness on so many occa-
sions and in so many ways. They still believe
in its principles and are ready to sustain them
bv their votes and their efforts. They saw II
thrust from power few months ago by an
worth means, but that defeat has only brought
the republican army into the field again,
stronger than ever, to win an inspiring victory
against a party which sits in power at WASH
ington as well as at Columbus.
The result IN Ohio proves also the strength
and vigor lent to party in political cam
pagn by good nominations. All the candi-
dates on the State ticket were unexceptiona-
BILE in every respect and worthy of the places
they have been elected to fill. Judge Foraker
has shown in two campaigns his mettle as a
leader and the wisdom of the republicans in
selecting him their standard bearer. The
canvass he has made stands unparalleled in
the political annals of Ohio and the joint de-
bates proved his ability to cope with one of
the most astute lawyers i'll the country. His
associates on the ticket worthily followed his
leadership.
Again, the election proves the value to a
party of having distinct and we'll defined
principles. The platform of the Ohio repub-
licans asserted clearly and forcibly the polit-
ical doctrines held by the organization, and
they were maintained fearlessly upon the
stump. There was no attempt at evasion any
where. Protection to American industry, the
necessity for the enforcement and extension
of the Civil Service Reform law and the de-
mand for an honest ballot everywhere were
put forth as the creed of the republican party
The majority by which this platform was sus-
tanned is a significant indication of the devo-
ton of the people to their principles.
Finally, the victory proves that the disci-
pline of the republican party is still unbroken.
The prophets who so eagerly predicted the
disruption of the organization can now see
their mistake. On field where the national
and State administrations were against it, and
with an unlimited corruption fund in the
hands of its opponent, it not only maintained
its ranks unbroken, but made converts from
| its enemy. This election is in fact, the
strongest proof of its vitality which the re-
publican party has ever given, and illustrates
more decidedly than nything else could have
done the wonderful hold it has upon the loy {
and admiration of the intelligent and sturdy
voters in the nation. Philadelphia Press

for = low standard of official appointments.
But that the graduates of jails, workhouses

J B. X, Connolly, recently appointed Chief

Ohio, has served a term in the Jail of Lake
county of three months for stealing a
note, and only escaped the penitentisry upon
the ground that the note was not valuable az
it could not be collected, This appointment
was rather hard on the Ohio farmers who
would. on the appearance of the government
officer have. to lock up their chickens and
other moveables. The only justification OF
Connelly's appointment is that he would not
be likely to steal statistics so long as he might
find portable property.
Theodore Tyler, who lately received ap-
pointmant in the Treasury Department at
Washington, was sentenced to five years in
Auburn (N Y prison for forgery. and served
three years, when he was pardoned out by
