There was no exhibition OF undue exultation at

yesterday-only the complacent cheerfulness which
Chandler has exhibited through all circumstances,
adverse or friendly. 1T was very confidently stated
that the Indiana Legislature was safely republican
and that Morton's return to the Senate was as
sured, and the Governor was not given up to the
democracy as yet. The majority in Ohio Is claimed
at from fifteen to seventeen thousand The Penn

The Liberal Republican Headquarters.
There was no news whatever at the Glenham
House Headquarters yesterday Hendricks, Of in
diana, telegraphed that the result was undoubtedly
favorable to his election In that State but that no
figures could be given for some time yet As to Ohio
the liberals claim that the majority cannot be more
than 10 000 and consequently there Is shown reduc
tOn OF 600 the vote for Governor year ago and
reduction Of 10000 on the vote for President in
1868. They give up Pennsylvania, but hold that 1t
was taken entirely by fraud and instance the regis
traton in Philadelphia, which was at least forty
thousand larger than the registration has ever
been in New York where the population Is over
that fraud was widespread. They feel sure that
Indiana has gone for Hendricks, and they are
doubtful to the aspects OF the Legislature.
Among the visitors during the day were Theodore
Tton, Governor Walker OF Virginia, and Mr..

At the Spinger House Headquarters there was
