1ss. Tho recent elections in thu great States Of
sqennsyisania. Indiana. iowa and Nehraska.ssle-
esnnsssates that the people are satisfied With the
esnomicai and vigorous administration OF Presi-
dent Grant
Let as look at this matter little
and see If the facts justify the state
ment quoted above. Last year the
Radical majority IN Pennsylvania was
-s,T9t, while the election on the nth
instant was SO c'ose between the two
parties that the official count is awaited
to determine the, result; and it is, al
ready conceded that the, Democrats
have gained Eve Congressman in the
Old Keystone State. The Legislar
.tnre of thai State last year had a major.
ity'on Joint ballot of "a; this year it is
estimated that their ana eiofits will be
about nothing. The Radicals last
.sstr carried Iowa by 39.145. This
IyeaE their majority in that State is re-
ported ut $4,000; which is a Radical
loss of overs 900 votes sineel last year.
In Ohio we admit that the Radicals
have carried the State by from 5000
to 5000 more than last year, while
the Congressional delegation is un-
changed in numbers. Also, the Rad
icals have carried Nebraska by thei,
usual majority. @s ~
The Democrats have carried Indi-
ANA by a majority of {, GOO, which is q
Democrate gain over the last election
= in that State of about 19, 600. In the
last Congress the representation from
Indiana stood four Democrats to sew.
+en Radicals. This year the Dmocra
cy capture from the enemy two, if mo-
three, more Congressional Districts
which just about reverses the politiea
status OF the Indiana Congressmer
from what it was last session. The
Democracy also have majority in th.
Legislature of that State-a feat which
has not before been accomplished fol
many years-and If Moxey Morton &C
.'cepts the appointment of Minister t.
England, q Democratic Senator vii
be elected to ell his place.
Now, the, journal man will pleas,
bear in mind that, by the operation
.sef the Fifteenth Amendment, the ne
xgroes voted for tie first time in thos,
States, and of course they al
voted with sthe great Republi
can party" which invested them will
the blessed privilege of the ballot
: The aggregate negro vote in thos
States is estimated at about 81, ,0O0.-
Tine. Democratic gain il the thre,
States Of Pennsylvania, Indiana an.
Iowa is about 5000; while the Re
publican gain In Ohio and Nebrask
! is about 9, giving the Democrac,
. gain over the Republicans in thes
five States of 27,0OO. And leaviD,
the negro sote uncounted would Civ
uf a clear gain of siirty-t,eo alousa,s
eotes over last year IN Eve of the strong

Now, if the abope figures show a
y endorsement OF the" ."economical an
vigorous administration of Presiden
Grant" God preserve the Democrat
:; party from any such endorsements!
a9Another such endorsement of Grant
administration will kill IL no dead i
those States that the closest rcsearche
of future generations Will mover Il
