Of the most reliably Republican in the

in this election. In 1870 it gave Stewart

Indiana will hold an election for Gov
ernor State officers and members of the
Legislature, October 8. The political char
acter of the State is sufficiently variable to
make its elections interesting, and the APP
preaching one will, on presidential account,
be unusually so. At the last election, in
1870, for Secretary of State, the Democrats

The State election in Pennsylvania Will
take place October 8. Ex-senator Buck
alew, Democrat, and General Hartranft,
Republican, are the opposing candidates
for governor, and the contest between them

siderable dissatisfaction among Repubi-
cans with Hartranft, and the probability
that his defeat in October will loose the
State to Grant in November. The State
has been Republican for many years past
but in the most recent elections the Repub-
ican majority has been growing precarious.
