These flections will settle the political com plexion of the next Congress, t, He Who Laughs Last Laughs Best,”

A couple of weeks ago the Press used the above quotation, and cited an illustration—something about ah Iiisbmah and a bull—implying that we were having our laugh first, and that he would have his laugh last and best. Well, we’ve “collared” the bull, and we’re still laughing, because in this instance the bull was vanquished. During a series of coming years we will furnish diagrams of the joke, showing the Press man exactly where th3 laugh comes in. D’ye see ? Ohio Democratic. The radical organs are kicking up a wonderful hullabaloo over Ohio, and this is the way things stand in the Buckeye Stale, as shown by the Cincinnati Enquirer; The Democracy Of Ohio send greetY "JS to their brethren throughout the Union that on Tuesday last they elected a majority of the next Congressional delegation from Ohio, and that f to-day Ohio is the peer in Democracy * of any State north of Masomand DixOtis line. We have a Democratic r Governor, two United States Senators, one for foar years, another for \ years from the 4(h of March next, have eleven members of Congress, both branches of the Legislature, all of which has been secured by onr financial policy in the past and present. This is not all. We have, by onr financial policy, placed the Republican party in a minority in the State of at least 60,000, which the official vote will show. What more could a State have ? This is the victory the bank organs are boasting of. It will occur to a good many people that if anybody has a right to rejoice over the politioal situation in Ohio it is the Democratic party.

The people dema nd greenbacks instead of national bank notes, becanse they'are better and cheaper. *‘The saving to the people,” says the Boston Globe, “by the use of greenbacks is easily computed, and forms an important item in the discussion of the finanm&l 1

question. The greenbacks now outstanding amount to $346,000,000. Computing interest on this sum at the lowest r ite at which the government can borrow money, four per cent.,and we have an arinuars&ving tp the people, resulting from thV°use of the greenback, of $13,840,000. But if greenbacks were substituted for the $322,000,000 of national bank notes now ou {standing, there would be a further saving to the people of tour per cent, annually on that sum, namely, $12,880,000—making a total annual saving by the use of tho greenback bl $26,720,1)00. From this, however, deduct the taxes on their circulation paid by the banks, amounting to about $6,000,0)0 annually, and the net saving would !j»e about $23,720,000. Perhaps, in strictness, this deduction for taxes ought licit to be made, for it is probable that the banks throw the burden of the taxation upon their customers, who iu turn shift it to the shoulders of those with whom they deal, until, like all other taxation, it finally falls upon the great body of consumers, the people. The greenback saves us now $13,000,000 annuallv, and can be easily mnde to save $23,000,000 directly.” „ The Democrat State officers elected last Tuesday, will go into office as folio ws : Attorney General,, November 6; Secretary of State, January 17; Auditor of State, January 25; Treasurer of State, February 10; Superintendent of Public Instruction, March 15. Wm. A. Peello will continue as Deputy Secretary of State. John H. Piercy and Benjamin Messich will probably continue as Deputies in the Auditor’s office. James H. Rice will be made Depmty Treasurer.—[Evansville Courier. ,

The Democratic Party. The results of the October elections awaken new interest in the future success and policy of the Democratic party. Fortunately fpr the country, there'necd be no doubts. In the past the country under Democratic rule inarched steadily from triumph to triumph. The laws were obeyed, the people were happy and contented, and prosperity and peace walked hand in hand. JEae constellation of Slates revolved in their well defined orbits around the central authority, without encroachment or couflict, while the iVQiid looked on and admired the workings of a system of go.vernmeui which, while it guarded all interests, left the people so absolutely free to pursue their avocations that friction was so light and discords so immaterial as scarcely to attract attention, and,.harmony was maintained, while growth and expansion were matters for constant gratifaction. Errors there were, for It is human to err, but amidst all the imperfections charged to the Democratic party there is no instance on record where it sought to abridge the rights or the freedom oi tjie^peocorded an act which can be tortured into a purpose of impairing fealty to the constitution of the coufltry or of abrogating the rights of the States under the constitution. In all the vital essentials of constitutional government the Democratic party has never swerved a hair’s breadth—the same always. Beli<&jW in man’s capacity for self-gove nutfent, it has stood aloof tram the wild scheme* of fanatics and demagogues, and has held fast to principles which must prevail if Republican institutions are maintained. It is these elements of strength and safety ihat in times of trouble make the people turn to the Democratic party for relief and defense. This has been true in the [last, it is true now, and the Democratic party will continue to be recognized as the champion of the rights and liberties of the people as long asfTFiis~go vernment endures. In what wo have.said of the Democraticparty is found just the opposite of the record of the radical .party, which the people are noys abandoning in every State in the Union, where the truth has i fair chance to combat error. To leny these things is to deny self-evi-lent truths, and in fool-hardiness is equivalent to denying any of the established axioms in mathematics. ._l_ ___

10 correct tneir own errors or judgment. “The sfoberisecond thought” of the people is always right, aud it is this that is influencing them to abandon radicalism. They have found it to be a cheat and a lie. Beguiled by florid professions of devotion to their welfare, they followed it confidingly for years, and until it led them into bankruptcy and ruin. \Clairaing to be the especial guardians of their liberties, they have seen the radical party batter down constitutions, bayonet legislatures, trample upon the ballotbox, employ military force to overawe and crush the weak, and finally, in the desperation of its wickedness,’ reverse their will in the choice of a President and Vice President by means so essentially infamous as to defy description. -These things are steadily working out a revolution in the popular mind, and as a consequence the- Democratic party is as steadily growing in power. Great changes are not wrought in a day. It is enough if the friend of reform can see a strong movement in the right direction, aud this encouragement the Democratic party has. It can bo*6t of the control of a majority of the States, the control of the United States senate, the control of the national House of Representatives, and has, as was shown in 1376, a majority of'the voters of the country. The revolution is going forward grandly. Its stately steppingacan be seen in all directions. The Democratic party is coming into power—coming up out of the wilderness terrible as an army with banners. When it gains lull control of the government it will reduce the burdens of taxation. It will devise means to lift business from its prostration, restore confidence, awaken the industries of the country, give the idle employment and Inaugurate an era of prosperity throughout the laud. The outlook is auspicious. Let the people rdjoice, for their deliverance from the curse of radicalism is at <hand.—[Indianapolis Ben (incl.

The Next Congress. There, is no loujfer any “doubt that the Democrats will have a large majority in the Lower House of Congress, ranging from forty-five to seventy-five .over the Republicans anil Nationals combined. Better than this, however, there will be a good working majority of greenback Democials, so that no combination of Republicans and hard money Democrats can dofeat legisla tion in the interests of the people. The Democratic party stands forth to day, the only power in the land that can give the masses relief from the cruel oppressions of the class legislation ot the past twelve months. In the Senate, the outlook is almost as encouraging. There will be a large Democratic majority in that branch of Congress, Indeed the New York Times is afraid that the Republican minority will be reduced to twenty-six, barely enough to sustain a Presidential veto.'If says: „ ‘ If they (the Republicans) Iosif®110 in New Hampshire, as they mail’ ;*le number-will, •! ivuvmi..
