THE OHIO ELECTION. •0 SEKOCRATIC TICKET e-’ A ; • !Ss F or Congress, IdJATETTE lane , 4 I -A î X’ On Tuesday last a general State election was held in Ohio and the telegrams published in yesterday’s Oregonian leave the result in doubt with probabilities in favor of the election of Hays, Republican, as governor, by a small majority. In 1873 William Allon,. Democrat, had a plurality of 8i7 votes over Noyes, Republican, and Stewart, Pro., received over 10,000 votes. It is probable that ihe Republicans have carried the Sta c by a small majority, and thjs result is bro.t about by betrayal of principles on the part of the Democrats in that State and the ultimate effect of Allen’s defeat will be beneficial to the Democratic causo^ The Democratic party from its foundation in the days of Jefferson down to the present time ha3 been the unrelenting foe of paper money as a legal tender. But unwise counsel prevailed in Ohio and the State Convention adopted a platform in favor of a further issue of greenbacks and opposed to the resumption of spe cie paymonts. This platform was distasteful to the Democracy thro’- out the country and the result is the probablo defeat of Gov. Alleu, who was the chief advocate of the rag-money platform. The elec will effectual!., kill the inflation cl ement in the Democratic party and hcticoforth the counsels of that par ty will not be disturbed by infla tioniste. , If the Democracy had swept Ohio by a large majority there might have been great diffi culty in the next National Con vention on the currency qu< »tion. But now we regard the nuittor as virtually settled. And while we regret to hear of tho defeat of the party in any locality wcj, neverthe less, believe that the defeat of Al len under tho circumstances, is the l»est result that could have occur red there, since the party had de clared in favor of inflation. Free trade, home rule and hard money, is the cry of the Democracy—and the inflation monster is dead. ► ’ Of Douglas County. f TO LITIGANTS. ■ Ì te a i eteion of Judge •< th« Halted States Supreme ; tire COVRIKK.
