While here in Pennsylvania the darkness of political prejudice, hides trom the tax-payer the | wrongs that are being perpetrated upon him, in the other states the eyes | of the people are being opened to the ‘sophistries, the errors and the decep- tions of the republican party. Penn. sylvania might have gone Democratic and there would have been no political | significance in the result. It would have been simply a rebuke to the cor- rupt methods of the ring that has con- trolled the offices : nd robbed the peo- pie of the State for years. But when Massachusetts, fighting on the broad principles that divide the two parties, goes Democratic; when New York, with the strongest candidate the Re- publicans could put in the field, in- creases her Democratic majority by thousands; when Iowa, for a second time, repudiates republicanism because of its broken promises and pernicious doctrine; and Ohio is compelled to make a campaign, and resort to methods, snch as were never before known or experienced, to save a disas- trous defeat to the party in power, is there not reason for Democrats to re- joice, and look forward to 1892 with renewed hope and courage.

The Returns of vote was the largest ever pollel. The Legislature will probably be Democrat- ic by a good working majority. The Republicans have some hopes for VanHouten for Lieutenant Govern- or, who is running ahead of Wheeler in the precincts that have reported. They also claim Sabin, r., for Superin- tendent of Instruction. The Demo- crats claim that their whole ticket is elected. It will take fuller returns than can now be obtained to decide the fate of the ticket below Governor. In the Lower House t\ic Republicans will have a clear majority. The Senate is conceded to be Democratic by one or two vo tes. 000. The latest returns show that Mr. Flower's plurality over Mr. Fassett in the State is 40,055. The whole Demo- cratic ticket is elected. Sheehan ran 13.836 behind Fiower, although this is notshown in his plurality over Vroo- man, who likewise ran below Fassett. The Senate is redeemed, and Lieu- tenant Governor Sheehan will preside over a Senate with a friendly majority. Velder, Donaldson, Laughlin and Richardson are the victims. The vote in the onyx chamber will therefore be 17 De nocrats to 15 Republicans, The Assembly is Democratic by 67 out of 128, Hamilton Fish and Whipple, rival a-pirants for the Speakership, were gattrot648—Triden, Democrat; 1:250 plurality.

In the other two States,both of which the tepublicaus must have to succeed in 1892, their principle issue has been repudiated and their party broken and discouraged by defeat.
