DO the democracy Expect to Elect
GeYmOnR? -

The Democracy Of Indiana are
making a desperate effort to rally
their forces for the Presidential cleo
tion next Tuesday. They are using
every possible expedient TO encourage
their dropping hopes andinspire them
with sufficient confidence to induce
them to work with a viii. In this
county. as elsewhere throughout the
State, they have appointed meetings
in every township, and it is very plain
that the Republicans must be wide
awake and active, or there is danger
that we may lose Indiana by u r ver
confidence. 11
And yet while there is a possibility
that apathy on the part of Republi-
cans and activity ON the part of the
Democracy might lose this State to
GRANT, there is no hope in theiimind
of any sensible Democrat of the cleo
ton of SEYMOUR to the Presidency.
They are whistling vigorously to keep
up the courage of the masses OF the.
party, and yet all the honest express
sion OF opinion on the part of we'll
informed members of the party is
that SEYMOUR and BLAIR cannot be
elected. The result of the October
election decided that question. Moth
ing could be q more signifcant1ac-
acknowledgement Of that than the pro-
position of the Washington and New
York Democratic politicians sec
onded by the New York World, to
Withdraw. SEYMOUR and BBAIR, na6d
substitute those old anti slavery Re-
publica6s CHASE and ADAMS. But
in addition to the we'll known utter
auees Of the World, let US cite the
opinions Of the leading Western Dem
ocratic organs. following the elections
of the 18th. We quote from the re-
cOgnized organs of the party of Ohio,
Kentucky and Indiana: A1-
From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Oct. ILL.,
That q very large majority of the
people zofgOhio, Indiana, aud Penn
sylvania do not approve the destruc-
tive theories of the Radical party, we
have convincing proof; bit the cleo
tons on last Tuesday seem to forbid
The hope that h2t majority can be con-
ceRtrated IN tarOr Of Seymour and
Blair as oar national candidates. We
sincerely wish such were not the case,
for we have every confidence that, un-
der the administration of the distin-
guished statesman and patriot who
heads Il ticket, the country would
soon be restored to peace and pros
perity. But it is the part of wisdom,
as tits the part of manhood, to look
events squarely in the face, and recog-
nize as accomplished what cannot be
averted. rlffFotf DO

THE RESULT.
The returns came in slowly last
night, and although at the hour we
write, this (23) morning,th they still lag,
yet sufficient have been received to
indicate the defeat of the Democrats
in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
They have made a brave and deter
mined fight, and have gained a few
members of Congress, though not to
the extent anticipated, and, although
the %mrjorities against. them are not
large, get Il IS useless to attempt to con-
cedL ttefdct that the Dcrdict of Mster-
day UirttGHy decides The Presidential
election. Our PEOPLE MUST MAKE
UP THEIR MINDS TO THE FACT THAT
GRANT WILL BE THE NEXT PRESI-
DENT. We earnestly hope that the
apprehensions so generally entertained
of the evil that will follow this result
will not be realized, but that a ntw..
era Of peace, quiet and prosperity may
dawn on the country.

THE ELECTIONS YESTERDAY.
The three great Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana held
State elections yesterday. The re-
turns through the Associated Press
dispatches from Ohio and Pennsylya-
mia indicate that those States have |
given Radical maiorities. The official
returns may vary the result, but such

We have not time, nor have we the
disposition this morning to moralize
