eminent will have the same meaning with poiltl-
clans that it has with the people. Such is the
lesson of the election in Ohio.
DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF OHIO.
Terre Haute Gazette (Dem.)
If the election of a Democratic Legislature in
Ohio would have resulted in sending Allen g.
Thurman to the United States Senate as the
successor to John Sherman all Democrats and
many Republicans will regret that the Demo
Gratis did not carry the Legislature. But If it
meant the election of little Johnnie Mclean to
the Senate, as is not unlikely, for he has been
vigorously setting ur things with that end in
view, and spending money right and left. why
then decency has triumphed in his defeat There
are some Objectionable things about John Sher
man. but, as compared with Mclean. it is case
of Hyperion to satyr. An incidental matter
of rejoicing to Ohio Democrats is the defeat of
Allen O. Myers for the Legislature in the Column
bus district This unmitigated little scalawag
did about as much as he could, and more than he
ought to have been allowed to do. to bring the
Democratic party, to which he claims to belong,
into discredit Low fellows of this sort do i'm
mense damage to any organization with which
they ally themselves, and the party that nom
mates them and elects them to Office deserves
the Christening of an occasional defeat
CAUSE OF NATIONAL CONGRATULATIONS.
New York Tribune.
Judge Foraker is to be congratulated for his
splendid conduct in a campaign against most
experienced and adroit demagogue The Repub-
licans of the Nation are to be congratulated
upon the certainty that Republican senator,
probably Senator Sherman, will be returned
from Ohio All who have discovered that Presi-
dent Cleveland's administration is one of sham
and false pretenses, are to be congratulated that
the people show readiness to get rid of that
sort OF administration as soon as possible.
SIGNIFICANT AND INSTRUCTIVE.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The Republicans triumph in Ohio is one of the
significant and instructive sort, from which the
whole country may derive timely lesson. In
the nature of things such result must be taken
as a definite indication of the general drift of
sentiment on the subject of the change from
Republican to Democratic rule in national
affairs It is a square and emphatic verdict of
abiding confidence in the Republican party, and
of continued distrust of the Democratic doctrines
and purposes.
UNDIsMAYED AND UNBRoKEN
Philadelphia Press.
This result shows that the Republican column
instead of being shattered by the national defeat
of last year, stands undismayed and unbroken.
Democratic power at Washington and Demo
cratic efforts in the States have not shaken Re-
publican faith or allegiance. The party comes
out from its temporary reverse with fresh cour
age and renewed discrimination The triumph
will inspirt and stimulate Republicans through
out the country.
AFRAID OF THE GANG.
Governor Hoadly. it must be allowed was bet
ter than his party, but his ability and good char
acter were overborne, in the public estimation,
by his surroundings and outweighed by the bad
conduct of the Cincinnati Enquirer gang. The
apprehension existed that if the Democrats car
ried the State, John r. Mclean would be elected
senator by the same influence that elected PayEe
in place of Pendle.on.
THE FAULT OF THE DEMOCRATS.
st. Louis Republican.
It is not always easy to comprehend the laby-
rinthine logic of the Ohio Democracy, but if the
question of supporting or abolshing whole
some restrictive liquor license system, yielding
good revenue, were submitted to the Demo
Gratis of Missouri the verdict would be two to
one in it's favor. We believe it is the fault of the
Ohio Democrats that Ohio is not steadfast
Democratic State.
TUESDAY WAS A GOOD DAY.
Muncie Times.
Altogether it was good day for the Republic
ans, and it is clear demonstration of the fact
that party with principles will not languish
and die by reason of one defeat, and that they
have commenced this early to take advance
grounds on the skirmish line Of 1885, and it is
the duty of every Republican to strengthen that
line from the mugwump. Prohibition and Dem
ocratic party.
THE LIQUoR TRAFFIC MUST BE MET.
Brazil Register.
The aggressive movement of organized liquor
dealers and saloon-keepers to reduce city licens
es is altogether and only wrong The liquor
traffic, by its essential crimnaity. entails much
expense upon municipal governments. 4 he Ii
cense paid by the saloon keepers is not in pro-
should be made to bear its proportion of the pub
lie expense.
NOT SCARED BY THE BLOODY SHIFT.
Terre Haute Express.
The people of OHIO we're not scared or laughed
out of tue due consideration that must be given
to the question of free ballot and equal rights
The attempt to cry down the ''bloody shirt" did
not succeed, and the shirt will wave until there
is no longer any need of advocating the equal
representation of the people of the South in the
legislative and executive branches of the govern
ment.
LARGE VICTORY MORALLY.
Lafayette journal.
may be small one politically it certainly is
large one morally. The fight was for law and
order as against all degrees of vice and misman-
agement
WHAT DID THE BUSINESS.
Memphis Avalanche.
Coal-oil John Mclean, Bookwalter, the En-
quirer stencil trap, corruption, bribery, Payne
ism, Hoadlyism. ward bummerism, crossroads
thuggsm. bunkoism and all uncleanness did the
business for Ohio Democracy yesterday.
NO REASON TO CHANGE OPINIONS.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
We see but little if any reason to change the
statement of general results made by the Courier
Journal yesterday, to the effect that the State
has gone Republican all around.
An Impressive Appearance.
Albuquerque Democrat.
The other day Judge Heacock purchased new
and stylish suit of clothes, and when he put it
on and BACKED his boots and spruced himself up,
he was about as fine a looking specimen of man
hood as was ever exhibited in a state of captivity
