as follows

There can be no doubt of the election of the
State ticket of the Republicans by majority of
at least ten thousand. Some of the Congress
sional districts, however, are very Close as will
be seen by the above table, and there may be
change in the political standing of the new
delegation, the present consisting of Republi-
cans to Democrats. The Republicans hope to
carry the Third and Sixth districts which went
for the Democracy in 1868 by majorities of 1852
and 1923; while the Democrats in turn, count on
gaining the Fourth and Seventh, which were
Republican in 1868 by majorities of 116 and
457. In the Tenth district there is no regular
Democratic candidate, and the bulk of the
Democratic vote will probably be cast for Has
kell, Independent Republican.
Since the organization of the Republican
party, the Indiana delegation in Congress has
stood as fOllOws.-
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-08
The vote IN eacH OF tnt COngressIOnaIuIs uIstrIc
in 1868 was as follows

The present delegation stands IA Republicans
to Democrats 1t will be seen that the vote
in several of the districts is quite close, and
that a change in the representation is possible.
In the Tenth district there was Democratic
majority of 912 in 1868, the result of the ex-
treme unpopularity of Ashley, the Republican
candidate. Truman H. Hoag, the successful
Democratic candidate, died subsequent to his
election, and at the special election to fill the
vacancy the Republican majority was 2797 but
this large majority was caused by split in the
Democratic ranks, the usual Republican
majority being about $50.
Since the organization of the Republican
party the Ohio delegation in Congress has stood
as fOllOWs.-
