THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

judge SharSWO0d tDem.l - elected 20 the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania 10y about 1000
majority over Judge Williams (Rcpublican)
The very last official return is not yet received,
but the result il ascertained within a very fow
votes.
Judge Sharswood is in no respect better
jurist than Judge Williams, but he is far more
generally known, and, living in Philadelphia,
where he has long been on the bench, he was
certain to poll more votes on personal grounds
than Judge Williams, who lives at Pittsburgh
No Democrat, 80 far as we know, supported
Williams; while David Paul Brown, veteran
Republican lawyer of Philadelphia, issued a
pamphlet urging Republicans to ignore party
and vote for SharswOOd.
We lost Philadelphia by having County
ticket on which no soldier was placed, while
the Democrats had three officers of the line on
theirs, and so won the votes not only OF Re
publican soldiers, but of many who love and
honor all who fought for the country against
the Rebellion. Had our ticket been made UP as
wisely as its antagonist, the Republicans would
have carried the State by thousands.
The n. Y. Times says that the Republicans
compIdin OF the secret circular of the Demo
cratic State Committee, whereby a great vote
was drawn out for their candidates We have
seen no such complaint. 1t was the business
of that Committee to get out as large vote as
possible. and they did it well If we were dis
posed to complain at all, it would be that the
Republican Committee did not do likewise.
But, while we know that this Committee were
far less efficient than the Democratic we
should have to know that they had ample
means before assuming to censllrc. Ii Is mani
fest that the Democratic Committee controlled
and spent an extraordinary amount of money.
Look again at the language of their secret cir
cular, addressed to a confidential Democratic
manager in each county, as follows;

Yet with this extraordinary effort and mani
festly lavish expenditure of money to an cx-
tent which the Republicans could not begin to
equal. ShalswOOd has but about 1909 majority,
while the Republicans have both branches of
the Legislature in spite of the detection in
Philadelphia. And the Democratic rote is not
so Idrqe by Sercrn thousands as II rdS last year,
,rhen the Republicans gdre Gor. GedIy orer 1900
majority.
Compare these facts with the reports over
which the Democrats were shouting and firing
cannon last week Contrast them with the fol-
lowing jubiant dispatches, which appeared IN

Let us turn to ONO, where Gen. Hayes is
chosen Governor and the whole Republican
State ticket carried by some 5000 majority.
True, we lose the Legislature, which is un-
lucky; but the political majority therein will
represent minority of the People. Look at

We are confident that Ohio, too, will prove
to have cast a Democratic vote many thousands
below that by which the State has been twice
carried by the Republicans, and will be carried
again. They have brought out their last vote;
while the Republicans have fallen far short of
theirs, as they did in 1862. We lost the State
that year by 5000; we carried it the next year
by 100000. Does any one doubt that we shall
carry it next year
As to INDIANA, though the election was
for local. officers only, and the vote gen
orally light, its average aspect is good,
especially where the vote is heaviest. Thus
st. Joseph's County (the home of Schuyler
Colfax) elects the whole Republican ticket by
the unprecedented majority of 900, of which
