The October Elections.

Full returns make clean sweep for
the republicans in all the States that
voted last week. Indiana alone is the
only State that did not come up to the
expected aggregate Union majority
Even here the republicans gain U. S.
Senator in place of Hendricks, by hay
ing more than twenty majority on joint
ballot in the legislature. As the demo-
Gratis carried Indiana last year, there is
therefore no decrease of republican ma.
jority, but it was kept down by the i'm
portation of thousands of Kentuckians
who poured into the border counties on
election day. Their votes helped the
democrats on the aggregate, but did not
help them on the legislature, fact which
will doubtless be proved at the Presiden-
tial election. The democrats have nick
ed up a few congressman in the late
elections, nearly every one of whose
seats will be contested on the ground of
having been elected by fraudulent votes,
SO that in the end they are not likely to
be allowed the poor pittance of the half
dozen congressman gained out of the fit.
ty-hve chosen last week. The republic
can majority in Pennsylvania is 9,OOO.-
Here too the republicans gain a U. S.
Senator. In Ohio their majority is
about 1900. They also gain the legis-
lature, which last year was democratic.
The republicans also carry Nebraska by
1000 majority, double what they had
last year, and an overwhelming majority
of the legislature.
