[iSJ>ect?i to the Baltimore icre Wasiumjton, October 15.? Knrly this morning the Democrats still manifested a disposl' 10 tion to claim the Legislature in Ohio, but were quite willing to conccde Foster's election. liefore noon a dispatch came from a er. prominent Ohio Democrat worded as follows: "Don't give up anything." This for a time l- revived drooping spirits, but the reaction was j" of short duration in the face of tue telegrams which came in quick succession with state 1",Y incuts of Uepublicun gains, uveruie uepuu" I lean headquarters there were suspended sev>ose era' brooms, indicating that a clean sweep bad been made; The result is unquestionably I ,0 a surprise and disappointment to the Dernonv crats. While lor a week or two j>ast they H(rv' have been satlstled that KwJng's chances were .,([] slim, they have had the most perfect confl' _ dence In ihelr ability tocarry the Legislature. tl' The Legislature has Indeed been considered |ll)(i the prize of the contesti That It has been roic wrcsled from the Democrats undersuch favorable circumstances for them Isconclusivo that E the people of Ohio have tired of "the Ohio Idea.*' while there IsaToeling of great regret that Judge Thurman will Ue retired to private life, still there are many who think that he has reaped as he has sown. His fate ought to . be a warning to other Democratic statesmen ,, that it is always wisest to be true to convioa". ti'ins and principles which have been cherniM 'shed for a lifetime, no matter what popular 1!l* clamor may be for a season. The Important 1 consequences Of yesterday's elections lie in IC* the fact that not only Judge Thurman, but every other Western Democrat, is now put out of tli'j field so far as the Presidency is conif'nt eerni'1'- There are not a few of the broader in v am' more sagacious Democrats here who con'}?, slder that the Democratic defeat is u blessing, "i and not altogether in disguise eltlier.

It New York to them next month. This, how!om fever, Is unthinking calculation. New York is' pr> n state whose politics have never to any apprecinble extent bebn influenced by the poliJ tics of other States, and the result of the conlopri lest in that State is less likely than ever to be iJpiV coverned by outside tauses at this time. In-' M?r? deed, if the Ohio election should have any 'influence on New York It would be more apt ul* to gain vote* for Itobiiison, as it has now been plainly manifest that the financial heresies 7 Is which possess loading Democrats of Ohio, last and which for a period appeared likely to too sweep the country, have been stamped out In r. to the homo of their birth, and the guarantee is per thus all'orded that the Ohio idea will not and isn't cannot dominate the National Democracy In ! the ! the future. For tills reason New York may reii-1 be considered as wife for Robinson in Novomj ber with more confidence Minn heretofore'.' . .

Almost every do rice is resorted to by some distillers ?md wliiskey dealers to defraud the I government in the mutter ot the tax on spirits. We have described sonic of them, ami recently another has just been brought to light by Deputy Collector Young. For some reason unknown to the outside world, ho took utoun idea tlmtu certain box which he saw at the depot in transit for Texas contained tobacco or whiskey. Ho opened it and found the bar'l. It was stamped, but it happened that the number of the stamp, date, Ac., corresponded exactly with a memorandum which .Mr. Young had taken from another barrel which was shipped through from the same source several weeks ago, showing conclusively that the stamp had been reused. The whiskey was accordingly seized anil will be conliscatcd to the government. Mr. Young who, by the way, has discovered more frauds of this kind than any other otlieer In the service in this district, has nine ot her barrels which have been seized at dilleront times, and all of which are to be sold.?Charlotte Observer. ?

Tilurman will be succeeded by a Hepubliean, but there will bea stand oil' with the Democratic Senator who will be chosen to succeed Senator ISruce. The gains which the Republicans make are in the successors to Senators Kernan, of New Vork, Katon, of Connecticut, .McDonald, of Indiana, Randolph, of New .Jersey, and Wallace, of I'eunsyjviMla. It they make gains in all these cases the Senate will be equally divided, and for the Demociats to have a majority Kellogg would have to be ousted.
