Our adyiccs from ONO give us no reason to
doubt Republican triumph there by at lcas;
six times Gov. Hayes meager majority of last
year. but by a smaller majorits than that of
1866; so that We are likely to lose two to -four
Representatives n Congress. Our friends are
generally well organized, and will poll heavy
vote.
In PENNSYLVANIA. each party is doing it,
utmost, and each seems 10 expect success. let
the only rational hope Of the Seym0uIites rests
on wholesale fraud They can only win by
polling an enormous illegal vote, and they are
working accordingly. The demonstration, by
testimony wrenched from unwilling witnesses.
that they cheated the Republicans systonati-
cally last year by means of counterfeit, coffee
colored Naturalization papers, was undisputed;
yet the Registry act thercupon passed by the
Republican Legislature has since been nullitied
by the casting vote of the very Judge whom
those frauds elected. and the balot-boxes thus
exposed to fresh pollution. If they can cheat
10000 now, they may beat us; and we see it
joyously proclaimed through The World that
they have naturalized 200 new voters in the
County OF Carbon, where their highest vote
ever yet east was 2,S39. They will thus prob
ably cheat us much worse than hitherto in
Philadelphia (where one of their strikers was
lately arrested with twelve Naturalization Ger
tificates concealed on his person which had
been duly sealed and certified, leaving only
blank for the name OF the voter to be written
in at dscretion). The State is full OF just
such so that only uniform vigilance and fear
less challenging at every poll can defeat the
foul conspiracy to falsify her verdict in the
official returns
In INDIANA, the Republicans cannot he beaten
merely by polling the resident alien vote; If
beaten at ALL it will be by wholesale fraud
organized in Kentucky and executed through
men sent over to that State to vote after the
old Kansas pattern. We do not believe they
can gain on the vote of 1866 in the Northern
half of the State; aud we ask every reader to
compare and scrutinize the returns from these
Counties, which are all that border Oh Ken
lucky:
Posey, vanderburs. warrcI, spencer.
CLARKE. jefferson Switzerland, Ohio,
Dearborn
Most of these Counties are under Democratic
rule, with election officers to match; several OF
them arc projected into Kentucky by the snu-
ositics of the Ohio river; and We expect to
record large Democratic gains in them, with
enormous votes ut certain polls; but 1t will
take at least 10000 illegal votes to render the
State doubtful; and we do not believe thSt so
many can he got into the boxes We look
therefore, with confident hope, for Republican
victory here, as in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The population Of NEBRASKA has largely in
creased since 1866, and the vote this year. of
course, will be much heavier. The State has
been thoroughly canvassed by the Republicans,
and they claim that they cannot he beaten.
