The Ohio Victory.

Ohio, the home of Hayes, John Sherman and Keifer, is emancipated, disenthralled, free. The corrupt Republican party is prostrate beneath the heel of an indignant and outraged people. The cyclone of the people’s wrath swept from the Ohio to the lake, from the eastern to the western boundary, and from the center to the circumference of the commonwealth. It touched every countv, every precinct. It aroused tho dormant energies of a liberty-loving people. It battered down every Bepublican refuge of lies. It vitalized courage. It strengthened faith, it encouraged hope and sent the people to the polls resolved to win a victory for principle, for truth and justice, and today Ohio swings into line under tho grand old Democratic banner. She swings aloft her mighty arms, claps her hands, and, in the joy of redemption from the polluting grasp of Republicanism, invites her sister States to follow her example. Indiana catches the inspiring notes, and sends back assurances of a still grander victory in November. The days of righteous retribution have come. Republicanism has run its race. He who does not see the skeleton handwriting upon the walls of its banqueting halls, Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin, is blind. It has won its victories by perjury and maintained its ascendency by fraud. From the dens of the Louisiana Returning Board to the last poor man stopped by the footpad Hubbell, and made to pav his assessment for a corruption fund, has been one long series of infamies. Ohio has set the seal of indignation upon Republican corruptions, and New York, Pennsylvania and Indiana will, if possible, bo still more emphatic in their condemnation. The outlook could scarcely be more cheering.—lndianapolis Sentinel.
