INDIANA ELECTION.


These returns are as accurate as we can get
them at present Both parties claim a gain In
1910 the wing majority was ,60l. In some coun-
ties the aggregate vote has fallen off little, while
in others it has increased. This election, which
is to choose Legislature, is looked upon as an i'm
portant one, as a United States Senator is to be
elected to supply the place Of White, whose term
expires next March.
KENTUCKY ELEcTIoN.-No full returns have yet
been received from this State. We should judge,
however, from what we have heard that Owsley, the
wing candidate for Governor, is elected, and as
matter Of course, but not by decisive majority.
1t was supposed that he would run behind his
ticket.
ILLINOIS ELRcTIoN.-All the returns we have re-
ceved show that John Wentworth, democrat, is
reelected to Congress by very large majority.
Missouri ELECTION. mo returns received.
THE FLOODS AT THE WEsr.-At last we hear
some talk about public meeting in this city, for
the purpose of collecting funds to aid the sufferers
by the recent disastrous floods in the West We
trust that the movement will be made at once. In
ST. Louis alone 1t will require an expenditure of
$40, 900 to remove the deposit of mud from the
wharf The destruction Of private property has
been incalculable. Let,he great city Of New York
be the first to set the example in the work Of be.
