COLUMBIA.
Friday Morning. October II, 1865
} The October. Elections.

Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Indiana will hold elections next Tues
day, and West Virginia October 90.
Pennsylvania, at the last Presidential
election, gave 20,0 Republican ma
jority. AT the last State election,
(1867,) she gave 922 majority for the
Democrats. The Offices to be filed
% this year, are those Of Auditor and
Surveyor Generals and G Congressman.
Ohio gave Republican majority at
the Presidential election in 1864, of
54,751, and at the gubernatorial elec-
hon last year, of 1888; q full Con-
gressional ticket, and oil the State
officers but the Governor, are to be
chosen this year. Indiana gave o
Republican majority of 2O.1 for
President in 1864, and of 14,2O2 at
the State election in 1866. A full
State and Congressional ticket is to
be chosen this year. West Virginia
gave majority of TIA for the Re-
publicans at the last Presidential
election, and 6, 644 at the gu bernato-
rial election in 1866. A full State
and Congressional ticket is to be
chosen on the 22d instant. Nebraska
was not a State until 1866, when q
general election resulted in Repub-
ican majority of 145, out of an ag-
gregate vote of s,641. She also
chooses State and Congressional
ticket this month.
A letter from aleading Democratic
journalist in Ohio, received in Wash
ington, represents the campaign in
that State exceedingly vigorous on
behalf of the Democracy. He pre-
diets the election of at least ten De-
mocratic members Of Congress, and
says the indications are that the De-
mocratic State ticket will receive a
handsome majority. Pendleton, Ew-
ing, Stanbery, and other prominent
gentlemen are addressing the people
daily, and numbers OF influential
Republicans are reported to have de-
clared for Seymour and Blair.
The result in the Keystone State
must necessarily exercise considera-
bic influence on the Presidential can
vass. It will indicate in what direc-
tion the current of popular feeling is
turning, and in the same proportion
that it strengthens one of the two
great political parties, into which the
country is divided, it will dishearten
and weaken the other. A Democratic
victory in the. coming State elections
of Pennsylvania will be the first bugle
note of triumph for the conservatives
in November. It will be significant
augury of the near approach of a
thorough and radical reform in all
the departments of Government; of
the restoration of the Southern
States of the Union; of the revival
of trade and commerce, on land and
on sea, and the establishment of
peace, good order and fraternal feel
ing among all classes Of our people.
