THE COMING ELECTIONS.
THE POLITICAL PROSPECT IN PENNSYLVA-
MA, OHIO AND INDIANA.


THE POLITICAL PROSPECT IN PENNsYLvA-
MA, OHIO AND INDIANA.
The Radicals are evidently disheartened at
the looks of things in Pennsylvania. The Ne"
York Sun (Rsdical) Of Friday last, speaking OF
the Keystone State, uses this significant IAN
guage:
Our latest advices from Pennsylvania lndl-
cate that the vote there at the OctoDer eleG,
tion-next Tuesday-will be very close; II
is doubtful whether the Republicans have
more than very small majority. They may,
il is true, do better than is expected; but: on
the other hand, so may the Democrats. Inc
Democratic politicians IN PennsyiVanla are au
unp1incipled set Of men; and II they were not
they could easily learn 10 be from the hepuD-
hcans. But if the cheating is equal on ootn
SIDES we think the Republicans will carry the
State.
The New York World says:
Mr. S. NJ. McCord, Of Springfield, Ohio, called
YESTERDAY at the World Office, and two days
Morgan. was informed by the latter that in his
opinion land most judicious observer IS the
GeneraD Ohio was certain to go Democratic
on the 18th, by decided majority; that the
majority will be greatly increased IN NoVenl-
ber; that Indiana indicates the same way. W.
NcCord feels assured OF the defeat OF Asnlesi;
Schepck, Bingham, aud OF the obscure hadicai
running in Sbellabarger's district; in fact, that
ont of nineteen Congressman the Democracy
will elect fifteen.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, Of the 5th instant,
has the following:
We are informed by gentleman who was an
e.. tloa tinEot
Ohio in 1867, as we'll as in 1868. that the Demo-
cratic prospects, so far as visible signs are con-
cerned. are better now than they were last year.
Tho number Of Republicans who attend our
meetings is greater, and they give evident
marks of approval and appreciation.
INDIANA.
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
writing from Hamilton, Ohio. says:
Having for the last six weeks travelled
through q great portion OF Ohio and Indiana, !
mean to trespass on your WIDELY clTculaGeu
naper to give YOU my views in regard to che
Election. which is to come of on the 18th
instant in Indiana. The Radicals are nope
| esslv gone. Hendricks will be next Governor,
BY at least ten thousand majority, ana tne
prandest thing is that Julien has his last
5000 as member Of Congress. Judge Reid
will certainly settle him. Indiana is certainly
secure fol- Seymour and Blair and Hendricks.
EVERYWHERE the Democracy are alive and do
! ing-gaining accessions to their ranks every
DAY. In Logansport and Indianapolis they are
| coming by hundreds. Again, In Ohio, Cary ls
secured by ZOO to 1000 majority; then to the
| Third District, now represented by the Hon.
Scheuck. Vallandisham will defeat him 4O0 to
| 60Dmaiority. Boutwell,, from Massachusetts,
spoke IN DAYTON on Wednesday evening to an
Audience of 3S7, by actual count, while thou
sands rolled out to hear gallant Generals Ew-
| ing and Ward. The grandest display was by
the white boys in blue, healed by thirty dlsap.ea @
days aeofor attending Democratic meeting.
| On account of this the soldiers arc down on
| Bob. and will sink him in the dust on the 18th
instant.
CONNECTICUT.
The Boston Post says:
Connecticut has done even better than was
at first reported, although that was good
enough. Last spring The Radicals carried
majority of ten towns in the State, and yet
the whole State went Democratic BY majority
of nearly 1000. This fall the Democrats carry
more towns than last spring, and by larger
majorities. II this shows anything, 1t shows
that the Democracy has increased its popular
majority in the state. Tho Radicals point to
New Haven as an instance of their alleged
gains. That city last spring cast over 9OU0
votes; this fall it polls about QUO. Given
| full VOTE the Democratic majority, JuuSiuS
from this falls figures, would even exceed that
| of the spring. There is so much apathy about
| these town elections, so many local influences
| at work, that the relative strength OF parties
can hardly be judged; but 1t is perfectly
plain that the Democrats are stronger than
ever, look at the result in which way you Will.
DELAWARE.
The Radicals seem to be perfectly oblivious
OF an election which took place in Delaware last
Tuesday. 1t was for the purpose OF choosing
inspectors, and the result, says the Delaware
Gazette, lis O glorious victory for tie Demo-
cratic party throughout the State. The result
in New Castle County is one in which every
man must rejoice. The victory in this county
is complete and overwhelming SURPRISING
the brightest antlcipations of the Democracy
In tie city of Wilmington we have carried four
precincts out OF seven, aud reduced tho Radi-
ca! majority of 314=5n September to 8 votes.
This was far better than any Democrat hoped,
and clearly proves that the people OF Whining
ton have determined on giving the Democratic
party O triumphant victory in November, to
crush out forever negro equality and negro
suffrage. Delaware sends al. October greeting
to Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, aud asks
to be considered as contestant with Connec-
ticut and all other States for the banner in No
yember. There never was so large vote poll
ed in the city or county at the Inspectors cleo
ton. Whole vote in the city is 2914." This
will make good appetizer for the Radical
breakfast or the 18th.
