Some of our Southern exchange
are putting the name of B. F. Butler
of Mass., in nomination, for the presi
dency, Jokingly we hope for if you
want a solid South just- nomtnate B.
F. Bui ler and you will have it against
him. We are willing to vote for
anybody B..F. Butler, and the Devil
excepted. -
The election ef Judge IIadly, ' in
Ohio, just on the toe of the presi
dential, election certainly gives that
State, to the Democrats next year,
It roust be remembered that Judge
II. ias sick during almost the entire,
campaign, and the Republican?, put
forth their finest eptf.kers, yet in the
face of all this Uosdly, was elected
by 1200.
Tbc Ohio Election.
The elction returns make very
pleasant reading those October mor
nings, and Democrats are not used to
Buchgood tidings from that direction.
The democratic majority comes swel
ling ob, and one wondurs where all
the Republicans are who a week ago
weie so full of boasting. Somehow
they do not seem to have yoted as
the talk exhausted them, aud on
election day they could not get te the
polls.
In the next campaign we excecpt to
6ee the tactics of the Republican par
ty radically changed. It is demon
strated te be unwise to concentrate
all your forces in an attack on the
candidate of the opposition. In Ohio
Forarfr was so seldom mentioned
tkat a large number of intelligent vo
ters were of the impression there was
one candidate; and remembering he
was once a1 good l;epnblioan they
voted forhim. A few explanatory
notes concerning the character and
political career of Judge Foraker
might have helped him somewhat
The Republcans try to believe they
have put the Democrats just where
l hey want them; they have embarrass
ed themwith an overwhelming majority
in the Legislature: they have iorced
a Governor on them; they even con -sent
to have the Democrats choose a
United States Senator, with the hope
that dissensions may follow, and that
two years hence they may recover
control of the State. Thij is very
alarming; but thf Democrats will not
lose their courage. , The legislature
may prove to be a very troublesome
and unmanageable body, still our
party accepts the responsibility of
power with all the wards imply, and
they will be prepared to face the con
sequences. After all, they can do no
worse than their Republican prede
cessors. In short, there seems to be
no ground for discouragement to
Democrats in the Ohio situation; they
have fa$d greater misfortunes .: than
this victory imposes, and, we doubt
hoc, they will belie all . the confident
predictions of their opponents! Just
now it seems that the Democrats are
not as much given to blundering ? as
their Republican brethren. Courier

pains to teach the psople of North
