The Coming oc obsr Elections.

1t is generally conceded that the CON-
ing October elections in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Iowa will virtually
determine the result of the Presidential
election. The hope of the Democratic
party is in a movement of the pee-
pie of the Western and Middle
States for change in the policy of the
government extensive enough to sweep
away all past Republican msjorities and
turn the great States over to the Demo
Gratis by overwhelming votes. Such a
thing as a close contest is improbable,
and hence it is clear that if this tre-
mendous revolution is TO come at all it
must show itself in the State elections
we have named. In view of these facts
glance at the results in 1862, when a
similar reaction to that now predicted
set in against the Republican party, on
account of their mismanagement of the
war aud alleged official extravaganza and
corruption, will be of interest at this
time.
We find, then, that Vermont, which led
off 10 the election of 1862, gave twenty
six thousand Republican majority, being
an increase overit majority for Lincoln
in 1860. Maine followed with thirteen
or fourteen thousand Republican major
ity. But when the October elections
came, Pennsylvania, which had given
Lincoln sixty thousand majority two
years before, turned over to the Democ
racy by nearly four thousand majority;
Ohio changed its twenty thousand for
Lincoln into six thousand for the Demo-
cratic ticket, and Indiana, which had
given Lincoln twenty-four thousand over
Douglas, elected Democratic officers BY
ten thousand majority. This was the
beginning of the revolution, and it was
followed by similar results in other gre Il
States, so that had a President oeen
elected in 1862 the Democrats wou' 4 have
been successful by the following electoral
vote, based on the elections q, that wear
