Victory.
Tbe election in Ohio resulted in a
victory (or Hayes, Republican candidate
for governor, having a majority of more
thun 4000 and it may reach and possibly
exceed 5,000. The Democrats ex
pected a victory in Qhio, aud now that
Ihe "tidal wave," basset in the other
v.ay they are very much disheartened,
and it will be useless so far as they are
concerned to hold an election in Penn
eyl 'aniu.
The Dumber of votes polled was
larger, by 100,000, than ever before
enst in Ohio for the office of Governor;
the excitement was intense, 6,000
speeches were delivered by the orators,
representing both sidea, not counting
the efforts of county orators at school
Louses and cross roads, torchlight pro
eersions, and mass meetings were had
n'most every city, town, and village in
the ttate. Although the majority is a
small one it is still a ruaj jrityjand a Re
publican gain, over the vote of last year
or about 24,000.
There is an axiom that nothing is so
successful as success, and this always
holds good in politics, and that was one
of the '.hings that made Ohio the great
political buttle Cold of the year; success
in Ohio meat success in Pennsylvania,
and so both parties did their best to win.
Tim result is highly satisfactory to the
Republicans, although the Democrats
look blue and talk of frauds and a free
use of money. The Ilarrisburg Pa
triot came out the morning after the
election with a very sorrowful article at
tributing the success of the Republicans
to a fret use of money and glaring
frauds in the great cities. The Elk
Democrat took up tbe refrain and echoed
Jrctud, and the little bump of self con
ceit that edits the Democrat really be
lievee. that frauds were perpetrated in
Ohio just because the Patriot aid so
The fact, however, remains that tbe
election on the part of the Republicans
was carried on without the free use of
money and without the ''glaring frauds"
the Democrats so much delight to tell of
Now for the Keystone Siate, on the
2d of November. Let every Republi
can do his duty and the victory is ours
Let us give Ilartranft 30,000 majority
