The October EIectIons---PenD-
syIvanta, Ohio and Indiana.

The Democracy have certainly carried
Pennsylvania on the home vote, and even
though the soldiers vote may be 50 manip.
ulatcd now as to overcome the home tri-
umph-which we doubt, howcyer-it can
not be so manipulated in November. A
large part Of the Pennsylvania soldiers were
with Mcclellan in his great campaigns, and
they will stand by him in the ensuing bat
tie as firmly as they stood by him in all his
former battles. In our belief, nothing in
the future is more certain than that the
electoral vote Of Pennsylvania will be cast
for Mcclellan.
In Ohio, the Democratic gains have been
immense, and although we have not car
ried the State--which we did not expect to
do-the result is really a splendid Demo
cratic victory.
IF the returns show that the Republicans
have carried Indiana, they also show that
the result is due to the most stupendous
frauds that have ewes been perpetrated in
any election on this continent Look at
Indianapolis, for example, where the ap-
gregate vote is vastly larger than the whole
population, men, women and children, of
the town, and where the Republican ma.
jority is larger than the returns will show it
to be in the whole State! As it is there. so
be sure, in hundreds of localities. On an
honest vote-with the ballot-boxes unstuff-
ed-the Democrats have carried the State bv
not less than twenty thousand majority
AN HONEST VOTE MUST BE HAD IN NOyEM-
BER, though it costs rivers of blood. The
Presidential election cannot be. and shall
not be carried by fraud and terrorism in
Indiana or elsewhere. We set down Indi-
ana to be as sure for Mcclellan as that the
sun will set on the Presidential election
day.
Courage, Democrats There is no cause
for alarm. But there is cause for incessant
work, work; work, everywhere, from this
day until the polls close in November. -
With this work--with heroic determina-
ton to win-victory is within our grasp,
and the country may be saved. II Chtcago
Times Of Ttusdoy
We repeat the language of The Times.
that IAN HONEST VOTE MUST BE HADIN No
NEMBER, THOUGH 1T COSTS RIVERS OF
BLOOD. The PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAN
NOT BE, AND SHALL NOT BE, CARRIED BY
FRAUD AND TERRORISM. The Democracy
are terribly III earnest in this matter. They
have waited long and anxiously for the cleo
ton that takes place on the EIGHTH OF No
VEMBER. The time is well-nigh at hand:
and we warn Abolition managers, that if
they persist in determination to repeat the
outrages that were perpetrated on the Elcv-
enth of October THEY WILL. HAVE TO TAKE
THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH TEMERITY.
God grant, that they may not put the last
feather upon the camel ) back Lctus avert
civil strife in the adhering States. We call
upon all good citizens, and especially upon
all property -holders-whether they acquired
their possessions by honest toll or by shod-
dy contracts-to join us in an honest and an
earnest appeal to the political tricksters who
engineered the frauds and outrages at the
late elections, to stand aside and give place
to better men, who must guard the purity
of the balot-box and insure free election
Let us be brethren once more, as we were
wont to be in the good old days that are past
away. But remember-AN HONEST VOTE
MUST BE HAD ON THE Sth OF NOVEMBER,
AT ALL HAZARDS.-.S
