The Election.

The smoke of the great conflict
has partially cleared up, and we have
no reason to change our statement
of last week, to-wit: that the Re.
pnblicans have carried Ohio, Ind.
Penna., and Neb., by substantial ma.
jorities; thus virtually knocking the
bottom out of the Presidential cam
paign, and ensuring the election Of
Grant beyond any probable contin-
gency. -
The rosult n Ind. is close, but then
Grant is 5000 stronger in that State
than Baker, and the admission o1
the Times, and the claim of the Re
publican and Tribune in our tele.
graphic columo shows plainly enough
that we have even carried the State
Of Dried Pumpkins and Hoop poles,
bys decided majority.

"Here's Your Mule I"

An old covy in Appanoose Co, who
had more mules thai brains, has
been in the habit of bluffing out all
his neighbors on his betting propo-
sitions until he ran across two of our
neryy merchants who were canvass
ing in that part of the State for
trade.
His proposition to sell his four f>
nest mules, wagon and harness tor
fourteen hundred and fifty dollars
payable thirty days after Seymours
election was gobled up quicker than
lightning by our ottumwa sports,
who arrived yesterday with tho Demo
cratic mule cavalcade. Any of our
Democratic friends having more
mules to spare at the same rates will
find ready purchasers at the great
Democratic Mule Sale Stables of 10.
