Remember that true moral cour-
age—and it<s the most difficult to
assume at first—is to exhibit a manly
regard for the truth. An honest con-
fession of an injustice, fault or
wrong, will lift a great burden from
the mind and let a Hood of light in
on the soul. Trv it for conscience's
sake.

Of course the recent election will
continue to b<* described as a "land-
slide" in favor of sound money.
The term enjoys great popularity
among the newspaper*. It is effec-
tive, a metaphor of the utmost force,
and, when employed with skill aud
discretion, is almost certain to put
an cud to argument. It was the
sauu in lrtl'2. That year, also, the
election was spoken of as a "land-
slide" for Mr. Cleveland, and al-
though it afterward turned out that
Mr. Cleveland did not receive as
many votes in 1882, when he was
elected, as he did in 1H8M, when lie
was defeated, the "landslide" went,
just the same.

We have had, therefore, another
landslide this year. The honest and
patriotic voters have turned out iu
overwhelming numbers to crush the
serpent of bimetallism, and the honor
of the country has been upheld by
its loving and proud sons. We may
be permitted to say, however, that
nowhere has this outpouring been so
tremendous and so significant as in
Ohio. New York and Pennsylvania
did nobly. They gave majorities
truly colossal, but no State approach-
ed Ohio in development of its voting
capacity. No State came within
sight of it as a producer of surprises.
Ohio this year gave 17 ">,000 votes
for Bryan. This is 70,000 more than
it gave Cleveland four years at'o, and
is the largest vote ever hitherto given
by that State to any candidate, dem-
ocratic or republican. It is 170,000
more than Campbell received last
year, and 18,000 more than Bush-
nell, Campbell's successful competi-
tor, received. The biggest vote ever
received by any republican candidate
up to 181)0 was Bushell's vote iu
18Sif), aud that was 427,000. This
year Bryan beat Bushnell's vote by
•18,000, and yet he is reported as de-
feated by say 50,000 majority. If,
therefore, Bryan received 175,000
votes aud MeKinley 50,000 more than
that, the total vote of the State,
counting the 2(100 populist votes cast
by error, must have been 1,000,000.
Add to this the vote of the prohibi-
tionists and the socialist-labor party,
and we reach a grand aggregate of
say 1,100,000.

mendously exciting. It brought out,
as they said at the time, every voter
in the State. Some skeptical per-
sons suggested, in fact, that it
head and that the total value will not brought out a great many thousands
fall short of 82,250,000. The re-
turns, Kays the Express, show a mar-
ked falling off in the number of cat- year Ohio, responding to the clarion
of voters from other States. But
this year the wonder grows. This
