Notes in General.

is in states in which it is the rotterest.
The detestable principles of the McKin-
ley bill, which have been condemned
and repudiated by nearly every other
state in the union, have been victorious
in Ohio solely because of the formida-
BILE forces of corruption which support
ed them. In Pennsylvania, too, the
rottenness of the party was not less in
strument@ in its success, and the cleo.
ton there is a victory for the Quays,
the Bardsleys, the De1amaters the
plunderers of the state treasury and the
thieves of the Keystone bank. Repub-

Ohio has gone republican once more,
as it has done with few exceptions
ever since the republican party was
formed. Gov. Campbell made a gallant
fight, but it was against heavy odds,
and the democrats had more cause for
fear than hope when they saw the
forces arrayed against them They
had the whole force of tariff protected
interests throughout the country to
fight without assistance. Money was
poured into the state to help McKin-
ley, while Campbell had to do battle
on an empty exchequer.-Clevela

Mckinley was elected by the efforts
of the high protectionists of the coun-
