OHIO. ‘Tue result in Ohio may fairly be regarded as a death-blow to Cleveland's hopes. After putting forth unheard of efforts, and expend- ing vast sums of money, the Democrats have been badly beaten on their chosen battle ground. The result shows that the influ- ence of the Independent Republican and Prohibition has been largely ated, while scarcely sufficient allow- ance has been made for the loss occasioned to the Democrats by the Irish and labor vote. The October states have spoken, and Mr. Blaine is as good as elect movements exagg THE LIES COMING HOME. As election day approaches, the despera- opponents becomes more apparent. What the Sun well calls “the Bureau of Defamation” is at work, day and night, grinding out fresh falsehoods and scattering them broadcast over the land. No | statement is too wild, no lie too monstr to be disseminated regarding the Republican candid, As fast as one batch of slander is disposed of, another is launched; in the hope that the lic may penetrate to some nook whither the contradiction cannot reach in time, and thereby influence, perhaps, a vote. Like the Pharisces of old, compass nd land that they may gain one proselyte, and when they have gained him, they make him twofold more the child of hell than themselves. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, still pas- tor of a Christian congregation by grace of a “scratch,” and head centre of the Bureau, by virtue of his long practice, has started one | of the wildest and most promptly “nailed” lies of the age. We refer tothe Joy scandal, which met with such a prompt and complete Mr. Beecher evidently had not expected so prompt a refutation of hislie, having selected a time when Mr. Joy was in Europe to void it. He has either overlooked the cable, or else he did not calculate on Mr. Joy’s prompt and indignant action. He doubt- less imagined that it would w indifferent well till after the election in Ohio.

FROM NOMINATION TO ELECTION. Tue road between nomination and election sa hard one to travel, as Grover Cleveland doubtless found ere this. Elated by the nomination, he at first fancied everything would be plain saili but many difficulties have cropped up in his path since. His nt vices have become whips to scourge ; he has realized that his is not the head to be raised with impunity sbove those of his fellows, In short, just now he must feel fully as uncomfortable it had inflated itself to it and was forced to realize that, in spite of its painful dilatation, its bulk did not approxi- mate appre of the ‘ove to emulate. the frog when utmost extent, ably more closely to ths ainly, the nomination itself was a gre: feather in Cleveland’s cap.
