THE EASTERN ELECTIONS.

evitably occurs at time like the pres
ent, it is something like atfectation /,
attempt to pronounce cool aud deiib
crate judgment regarding the matter;
involved. Beyond any doubt the result
of the tremendous contest in PennsyI
yania. Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska i,
as decided IAN Indication as Republicans
could hope for that the pending Presi,
Dental election will be an overwh helm
ing triumph for them and their Cause
Bat amidst the jlbilution over victories
gained it is wise and prudent to con
slider the facts as they are made to ap-
pear by SUCH returns as have come to
US.
We have carried Pennsylvania-rrob
ably ty as much as u 900 majority,
This is square gain Of not less than
Ill, 600 over the results Of last year
| What has been done in Philadelphia in
behalf of the Democratic ticket is
directly ascribab'e to the powerful
leverage of II county organization il
the hands of the Copperheads. The
Sheriff Of that county, backed by
the Courts, has been too much for the
loyal Mayor (Norton McMichaeD and
the result is that thousands Of t-audu-
lent votes were pooled and a :" gain -
made which has given the enemy two
Members Of Congress. Il Is probable
that these frauds VIII be cured by Con-
gress itself; and that the nominally
elected" Democrats VIII have to IN
dergo the Submission of their claims 70
better and higher authority than Plug
Ugly boards Of election, The untram-
meled and honest voice of the keystone
State pronounces for the Eepubiican
ticket by grand and glorious majority
Ohio, regarded as hopeleSsIy beyond
the possibility cf ku k!ux control, and
therefore, but loosely colonzei from
Kentucky, shows a magnificent M jori;y |
for The Republican ticket. At pre3eu'
advices the only disaster there which |
we have to regret is the defeat of Hon. |
James Ashley, the Republican Repre-
to Congress from the Toledo
District. While this is to be greatly
we can congratulate ourselves
upon tie reelection of Schenck over
Vallan CHAM in the Dayton District,
and the gain of at least one Congress
man in the District in which is located
The city of Cincinnati. The Republican
gain in Ohio is at least Il, 600.
Aware of the fact that the strength of
attack is more formidable if conducted
3y massed bodies Of men in one particu-
ar direction, aud there being nothing
o prevent the Importation ofrebels from
kentucky, Indiana has been afflicted as
Kansas was in the old 1" bleeding days
by hordes Of Border Ruians. The :
urplus, Idle, vicious, returned rebel /
o!diery Of The river counties of Ken !
ncky were crowded by thousands in /
southern Indiana; ana The result is ttat =
here is shameful poss b,lity Of the ]
efeat Of Baker, the Republican Candi J.
ate for Governor, and the election Of b
nat miserable dorghface, Hendricks. I
square light in that State would have fl
icen us the victory by at least 10 900. Il
Te shall be assured Of Baker election d
