The October Elections.

The elections on Tuesday last in the
great States Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and |
Indiana, have resulted adversely to the
Democrats and Liberals The majority |
in Pennsylvania is roundly set down at
10000; in Ohio at $4,000; while In.
diana is close. The gallant Hendricks |
made most determined contest for the |
gubernatorial office in that State, and |
il selected by reported majority of 1000. !
We have lost two Congressman there,
gained two in Ohio, and sustained loss
on the Congressional ticket 10 Pennsyl- |
vania. The result in the latter State,
il due, bayond all question, to the most |
stapendous frauds ever perpetrated upon
popular suffrage The corrupt Cameron
Ring, supported BY the power aud pa
trooage Of the ADMINISTRATION, did their
work etfectually. OF the result in Ne
braska, We have but meagre intelligence
We subjoin the following extracts from
comments of several prominent Dem.
ocratic journals
That great party has been deprived,
ave believe victory ii had legitimate
ly Won, and great State remanded to
the care Of a faction notoriourly tainted
with bargain and corruption, are matters
Of lesser moment than the knavery such
victory seems to condone, aud the
unbridicd license il encourages. We
have hoped that good would flow from
this movement for reform, aud we hope
SO still. Where power is strongly
entrenched, it takes mere than Que
conflict to disiodge it, and the failure
OF an attack on one part of the works
may yet te the precursor Of better
fortune in general assault. The loss
Of Pennsylvania at the election on
Tuesday may or may not foreshadcw q
like victory for the Conservatives in
November. That remains to be seen.
Bur the whole the States Of the Union
are not linked to the fortunes of Penn.
