THERE is no use TO deny it. Iowa is
n sumner. Reasons for it are as plenty
as black in August. The Republi-
can candidate for Governor was blamed
with scheming to virtually confscate all
the railroad property in the State, and
lost the support Of the railroad employees,
and of all interested in railroad property,
and the farmers would not vote for him
because they were told he was a railroad
man, and they are opposed 20 The rail
road companies The liquor men opPos-
ed him because he was charged with be-
ing a prohibitionist, and the prohibi-
tionists kicked because prohibition was
not rigidly enough enforced by the pres
ent Republican administration.
But, we are not crying over spilled
milk. They'll all do it, Remember how
Pennsylvania Republicans acted the fool
Few years since, and how little taste
of Democratic rule resulted in piling up
$4,000 Of a majority when the sober sec

There is blood on the Democratic moon
in this grand old Commonwealth. The
unparalleled route of the Democracy in
Philadelphia calls for an expiatory sacri-
flee, and Hon. Samuel J. Randall has
been selected as the victim. True, Mr.
Randall was sick a-bed in Washington,
did not vote, and on account Of protract-
ed illness had not participated in The
canvass; but, according TO Democratic
soOth-sayers Tariff reform"-ergo, free
trade, was the issue Of the campaign. 1t
was incontinently knocked into smith
ereens by the workingmen Of Philadel-
phia, and now, as an excuse for the
crushing defeat, il is alleged by Demo-
cratic journals, that Mr.. Randall. who is
well approved protectionist. betrayed
and sold out bis paIty's candidate. Sill
ness and vindictiveness are not new feat
ures in Democratic tactics, and It is not
surprising that in the modification and
humiliation Of such an overwhelming
defeat that the attempt is made TO offer
mp Mr.. Randall as vicarious sacrifice.
There is an Interior object, however, be-
yond this. The Democratic leaders are
already marshalling their clans for the
GubernatoriAl campaign Of next year.
Mr.. Ran halls old time rival, William A.
Wallace, has been announced as candi-
date, and the attempt is being made to
destroy Randall's influence and weaken
the force Of his anticipated hostility. by
changing him with treachery to his party
and its candidate in the late contest.
Nothing metner than this assault upon
the character Of once worshipped lead
er, but now incurably sick man, can well
be imagined, but necessity knows no
sax, and il all goes to show that there is
blood on the Democratic moon in this
State that will lead TO throat cutting in
next years Gubernatorial canvass.

emo has gone Democratic. She has a
habit Of Topping over TO the Democrats
on off years. She is ssaunchly Republi-
can on a square party vote where nation
al issues are at stake, but her Republi-
cans are in the habit of iH'iulging in a
regular hair pulling match, and feeding
fat their personal grudges when only ID
cal issues are in question. The truth is
Ohio has too many great men" within
her limits, and their jealousies crop out
on every available occasion. For years
she has had but one representative in
the United States Senate, when she
ought to have had two, and it was the
habitual off year wangle that pro iuced
this result.
In this instance, Foraker, who had
twice been elected Governor, is the vic
tim. The saloon interests, the political
prohibitionists, open enemies and false
friends in the Republican ranks com
bined, and the result is a Democratic tri-
umph. The other candidates on the Re
publican ticket ran away ahead of Fora
ker, and some Of them lack but few
hundred votes Of an election, thus show
ing that the fight was personal one
against him, and that principle was not
involved. Those who indulge the hope
that Ohio has permanently turned over
to the Democracy, are simply dreaming
vain dreams.

Mahone overwhelmed

After a contest of unexampled bitterness,
Malone is overwhelmingly defeated, Captain
Philip W. MeKinley's plurality being in
the neighborhocd Of 5000, with probably
insignificant Prohibition vote to offset it,.
Last year Cleveland's plurality for President
was only 1850. the Prohibition vote at the
same election reaching ,67s and thus giving
the opposition to the Democrats small ma
jority. General Fiizhugh Lee defeated
John S Wise Rep by only le,oi7 ma
jority in 1885. The full Democratic ticket
elected is as follows: For Governor, P. W.
Mckinney Lieuienant-Goyernor. J. Hoge

WrTH a prohibitory law in force in
Iowa, placed on the statute books by Re
publicans, but impossible Of enforcement
in the large cities, the Republican party
in that State has been borne down TO de-
feat by two antagonistic forces. The pro-
hibitionists have waxed strong by charg-
ing the Republicans with insincerity in
the non-enforcement Of the law. The
saloon interests have fought the Republi-
cans because they enacted prohibition.
So the party was cut both ways The
more reasonable and consistent ground
for Republican occupancy is that Of reg
ulatihg and restricting the liquor traffic.
That can be accomplished, and when ac-
complished il will be beneficial 10 the
public.
