the N0vEMBEn
ELECTIONS,
PERPLEXED. BUT NOT In
DESPAIR.
Mckinley Probably Elected, but
High protective Tariff De
teated by a Majority Vote
Of the people Of Chic.

he electl0n In Ohlo is a sur
prise and a disappointment. Both
of the great parties are surprised,
at results in unexpected quarters,
and disappointed in that the great
issue of the campaign was not une-
quivocally settled. The Republi-
cans elect the governor by a chance
thousand on more votes, but the
Democrats wins the victory on
Principle. The two candidates
were but the incidental standard
bearers of opposing principles. The
great question was not Campbell's S
nor McKinley's election but the
determination by the people of
Ohio whether or not High Pro-
tective Tariff, or Tariff Reform
should be written in the book of
politics. as the Principle of Ohio
men.
Counting the votes cast against
Mckinley, and of course cast
against Tariff ROBBERY and the
policy of the Democracy wins the
victory. A majority of the people
of Ohio are against Mckinley and
his Tariff policy. He has been
repudiated by the defeat of his
Plan. If he has any comfort in
out running Campbell, let him
dance his delight lise the leaf does
as it out runs before the storm. In
the minority vote, the meager plur-
ality, McKinly and his party are
b lpless in the policies of our state.
High ! ariff is broken and we are con
tent. The Legislature is in doubt. If
it should be Republican, it is our
notion that neither Sherman nor
Foraker will be elected Senator.
Behind these shadows of past
events, glances the immense profile
of Charley Foster. This is not
what we know but what we think
we see.
HOOKING COUNTY ELECTION.
At this writing Thursday morn
ing, we are not able to secure the
exact vote given IN the different
townships for the several candi-
dates. The election Board makes
the canvass of votes today. Next
week we will publish a tabulated
statement. This we know that the
Democratic vote falls far short of
our expectations. The majority
for Campbell being about 800;
Price l70;Lowry 365; Wright zoe;
Juniper $40; Buchanan $50;
Heft 365.
The Republican vote last year
was 1886. The vote this year as
1872. The full Republican vote
was at the polls.
The Democratic vote last year
was 22ls. The vote this year was
2214. The philosophers may phil
osophize on the figures.
The election passed off quietly,
and the new system of voting is
generally approved. Lowry is de-
feated. He run in district, which |
when the full Republican vote is
out is 1900 Republican majority. |
He made gallant fight and in his |
defeat carries deserved honors.
The light vote for Mr.. Price was
4 surprise. 1t was not deserved. |
His past record was all in his favor
and his canvass was honorble, en-
srgetic, and highly creditable to
himself and party. He will be
elected by about 100 pleurality.
OTHER STATE ELECTIONS.
New York elects Flower, Demo-
,ratic candidate for Governor by
rom thirty to fifty thousand. New
Jersey elects her Democratic Gov
,rnor. So also does Massachu-
etts. The returns from the wes-
ern states have not yet been re-
eived but it is thought that Kan
as and Iowa will 60 Democratic.
We regret the defeat of our bold,
brilliant heroic candidate for gov
rnor, but he stands proudly before
he Democracy of Ohio and of the
Nation as the most conspicuous
ampaigner of this generation.
he Cambell's are coming. In the ,
efeat and death of the Robber
!igh Protection the people have
ause for rejoicing. Our princi-
les have not been defeated, our
-ue Democrats are not discourag-
l nor disheartened. The sun and j
ood times and the Campbell's are /;
men, wait a little longer. .
