OHIO.

[From the N. Y. Herald.] In a total poll of 750,000 the Republicans secured, in a State which has gone Repub. liuan every Presidential, year since 1852, a plurality of less than ten thousand. • hat is to say, a change of five thousand votes would have lost them the State In 1880£they carried it by nineteen thousand. But it is not at all certain that the Blaine people can hold these five thousand votes in November. At least seven or eight thousand prohibitionists voted for the State ticket because a leading candidate was a prohibitionist. They may prefer to vote for Mr. St. John, their own candidate in November. Several thousand antiBlaine Republicans voted for the State ticket, but will vote against Mr. Blaine and for Governor Cleveland in Nov ember. It will be difficult for the Blaine men to repeat the scandalous deputy marshal business in Cincinnati, and it is not probable that thej can afford to swamp the State with money again, because they have too many dt ier doubtful States to deal with. On the whole, Ohio must be regarded as a doubtful State, Ohio d mocrats should not be discouraged.
