COLUMBUS, o, November S.-Governor
Foraker said to-day, in explanation Of his
defeat "It appears from the returns that
l am defeated, and that the balance OF the
State ticket is undoubtedly elected. OF
course, under the circumstances, with the
combination against me Of the liquor deal
era, saloon keepers and other violstcrs of
the law, added TO the opposition OF the Re
publicans who took sides against ma on
personal grounds and on account Of the
third-termism, different result could not
have been expected. In addition to what
l have mentioned, We had right to
expect Republican gains and support IN
districts where there are heavy Republican
Losses While l ieel my defeat, | assure
you that am MOI cast down, but of course
l regret the defeat oimy party. l feel con-
fident that the Republicans who have seen
"a TO place the Democratic party in power
and vindicate the election of Henry b
Payne 70 the United States Senate, will
before the expiration of the Democratic
administration, have ample time and Oc-
casiOn to appreciate their mietske."
RAMPANT BUCKEYES.
Foraker's friends are rampant over his
defeat, and openly declare that no man in
Ohio politics has ever suffered as much
from treaChery as Foraker. They rOundly
curse Generl Grosvenor, General Ken
nedy, Major ButterwOrth, and some ex
tend the condemnation 20 Major Nick n
ley. Upon the first two named the bur
den of their criticism has fallen because
both are known 10 have knitted Foraker
OF the stump and upon every occasion
where their words would not reach the
public FOraker's iriends are more kindly
disposed to Senator Sherman, at this time,
than to any other prominent Republican
in Ohio. They report that be was the
only one who redeemed his pledge OF sup
poit. Butterworth and Mckinley are
blamed on general principles, but not for
any specific words or acts.
There is no question about the attitude
OF Foraker Republicans toward the admin
istration at Washington. M p etenee OF
/ conceslment is made IN regard 10 the dis
| gust they entertain for the policy OF tie
| Precedent. One of Governor FOrak'r'r
\ friends said to-day: at is a notorious fict
that Foraker could not even secure the ap-
pointment of fjurth-class postmaster.
They wouldn't give him any support what
ever and "a a consequence Harrison can b.
blamed for some of this OF course, Sher-
man should have aided us in securing pat
ronage, but that does not relieve the sd-
miuistratior. If they had given Foraker
half chance, the anti-third term Repuo-
cans would not have been 80 rsbid."
FORAKER s THREAT.
To illustrate this feeling, there can be
quoted an expression attributed to Gov
ernor Foraker by an Ohio Democratic ps
per. The remark Is said to have been made
to Stephen A. Douglas, Jr. lie is reported
to have said: at is dangerous thing iol
party men to knife the ticket of their owl
party, but since some eminent Republican
have seen NJ to inaugurate that dsugerou
custom, perhaps I, too, may be able 10 j
low 10 their footsteps in the future, with
out being considered traitor to m
