Victory in the West.
The greatest interest felt in Savannah in
the elections this year conferred on Ohio. It
was the nearest Of any to being doubtful
state. Virginia and Malone attracted
some attention, but the returns from Ohio
were the most anxiously awaited. All
sorts of bets were made yesterday, and
quite a number of them were paid up last
night, when the returns gave Campbell
10000 to 1900 majority, and the entire
ticket conceded by the republicans.
~. n. Rowe, lor Dayton, o., a politician
of some prominence. who is stopping at the
Screven, was one Of the happiest men in
the city over the result. MIR. Rowe said
last night that the Ohio democracy has long
been looking for Moses to lead them out
of the wilderness, and Campbell is the man
who found the mama in the desert,
and who lifted up the divining
rod which bursted the boom OF
two or three republican candidates
for the presidency, and appended the

mo, sir; Calvin S. Brice, chairman of
the democratic national committee, will be
elected to the Senate, as Mr.. Payne, it is
understood, will not be a candidate Mr.
Brice is an Ohio man. He is a resident of
Lima, and has never given up his citizen
ship there. He will be the next United
States senator from Ohio. They can't
knock us out. We have had
and yesterdays election means six years
more. The Ohio election means more than
that. We have carried the legislative
ticket, and that means a redistricting of the
congressional districts, and it will be made
so that the republicans will have but four
out of the twentv-one districts. This will
offset the republican congressman from the

REPUBLICANS AND VIRGINIA.
Among the Blaine republicans in the city
there is no regret over the defeat of Ma
hone. In fact Malone is not admired by
the Blaine wing of the party
here, which largely predominates. When
Malone aspired to cabinet position a
blank petition was sent on here for sigma
lures and the Blaine men let it severely
alone.
Among republicans the untoward result |
OF Tuesdays elections is commented upon |
much In tbs same vein as the |
democrats did in 1885, when there |
were gre leral reverses to the demo- |
cratic ticket. The republicans claim that |
Harrison has been as tardy about "bounc- |
ing the rascals OUT as Cleveland was, and |
they argue that no President can expect
party victories if he does not strengthen the /
bridges over which he passes.
THE ours PREDICTION.
The first danger signal to President Har-
rison, said republican yesterday, was
when his own city, Indianapolis, went
democratic. He did not heed that, but kept |
the applications of republican office-seekers |
pigeon-holed, and now the republicans in /
New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio and |
Iowa have staid away from the /
polls and let the democrats win
the elections, they argue, is to make Harri-
son one-term President, and the eyes of |
Savannah republicans are directed t. Blaine
as the next republican candidate The
act.onof Malone for Sherman i'll the last
republican convention made the friends of |
Blaine as antagonistic TO Mahone's election
as the democrats
