OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

On last Tuesday State elections took place
10 Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Nebras-
Ia. The returns from these elections have
been garbled and dribbled out to the public
by the associated press, the Union, Bulletin
and Alta, SO as to throw as much doubt up.
on the true result as possible, and make the
people believe that the mongrels have
achieved a success in these elections. On
Wednesday they claimed Pennsylvania by
$4,000. on Thursday they come down to
10000, and oD yesterday, the latest and
most reliable dispatch says:
PHILADELPHIA, October 18th
Revised tables of the majorities, so far as
received, reduce the Republican majority to
1851. The Democrats estimate the Re-
publican majority at about 5000.
Here we have but 5000 for Pennsyl vauia,
which two years ago gave them over 1900,
and the official figures may show an actual
Democratic majority on the popular vote.
This majorityin Pennsylvania, in proportion
to the vote cast, is about equivaleutto 400 in
California. These are the facts, and leave
but little doubt upon our mind but that the
twenty-six electoral votes Of the Keystone
State will be cast for Seymour and Blair.
Add to this the fact that Mongre Judges
denied naturalization papers to 4,500 appi
cants, who will all vote at the November
election, and we may confidently count on
Pennsylvania for Seymour and Blair. On
Congressman the Democrats gained four,
making 10 Democrats to IA Moogrels.
In Ohio they have fallen from $4,000
down to $4,000 and will undoubtedly be still
farther reduced by the full returns. The
negro portion Of the State, the Western re-
serve, is always first heard from, and when
the returns are received from the Democratic
counties, it will, in all probability, be found
that Ohio is 10 reach of being carried for
Seymour and Blair. The Democrats have
gained four members Of Congress in Ohio,
beating that dirty impeachment dog, Ashley,
who was elected by 1900 majority two years
ago.
In Indiana there is scarcely doubt but
the Democrats have carried the State, elect
ing their Governor, State ticket, and six out
Of the eleven congressman. Julian is beat
for Congress in district that gave him
622s msjori'y two years ago, and Dan Voor.
bees has carried bis district, that gave over
1000 Mongrel majority at the last Cougres
sional election. In the eighth district Gen.
Malan D. Manson, Democrat, beats Ortb, the
present Mongref member. In these three
districts the Democrats have gained $500
votes, more than enough to give them the
State by 1000 majority, admitting that we
gained nothing in the remainder Of the State,
which is not probable. Considering the
usual lying and parlzsn character of the
dispatches that come from Chicago, and the
doc,oring they get in the Union, Bullstion
and Alta offices, the following telegram
should be entirely satisfactory to Democrats,
and leave no doubt OF lndiana's having gone
for the Democracy at the late election and
being certain for Seymour and Blair n Mo-
vember next.
CHICAGO, October 18th.
In Indiana both parties still claim the
State. The official count will probably be
required to settle the question.
The above is about the substance of The
news which has been received through the
associated press dispatches, and, when we
remember that this associated press do not
hesitate to even lie to keep up the tagging
spirits Of their negro.worshipping adhereuts,
we can say that we see nothing but encour.
agement for the gallant Democracy.
