ana. II. in the cause Of Greeley md
Brown. any tse Of these States are carried
in October. il is eoasended that they win
create such general reaction - TO render
the success Of the opposition c"alition u,ar-
ally certain in the Presidential election.--
Indeed the devoted friends Of Mr.. Gree
ley hold that IL they carry Pennsylvania
in October and show any promising gaias
in Ohio and Indiana, they may still. by
a vigorous prosecution Of the war. give
..Old Horace" the victory in November.
For these October elections the odds
are evidently in favor Of the adminis,ra-
tion party in Ohio; but there is an OPEN
ing for 40 opposition SUCCESS in both In
diana and Penasvlvania. Ineach Of thsse
States the leading s.raisht-out or Bourbon
democrats. while protesting against Gree
lev and Brown. hare indicated their pur-
pose tn support the democratic and liber-
al republican State tickle, for October or.
to state their position precisely. the dem-
ocra,ic Bourbons Of Indiana will support
Hendricks, and in Pennsy lvania they will
vote for Buckslew the opposition coalition
candidate for Governor aud as it vas in
North Carolina. so in both these cases.
the Presidential test will be upon the Gov
ernor. II there are Eve thousand. or even
two thousand Greeley republicans in In
diana, assuming that all the democrats
will vote for Hendricks. then. according
to the test vote for Governor Of 1868.
Hendricks will be elected. The Tnliana
Presidential test vote Of 1868 was upon
the Governor, and it was rs follows:-
Republican vote, I1I,s7s
Democratic vote, ITO Ga
Republican majority. 962
But the moral feet Of this October VIC
tory was to give General Grant in the M.
vcmber national election a majority Of near
" ten thousand Looking. however. Mt
her October vote Of 1868 a. a fair exhihi,
OF the relative strength If the two parties.
there Is now an opening for the opposition
alliance in Indiana unon Hendricks. whose
popu'a. ty is universally ndmittrd
but in Pennsylvania. from the iiscor,ls
among the republicans on their State tick
ct, from the moral effect Of the example Of
the prominent republican leaders there who
have gone over to Greeley and Brown. and
from the popularity Of Buckalew the op
position coalition candidate for Governor.
they have high hopes Of 4 great AMI de.
csive victory in October. 1t NAV be- fur,h-
cr said that>the outside State tickets Of the
labor reformers AMI the prohib;,ionsts are
each calculated to weaken Har'ranft and
to strengthen Bnckalcw. So that Mr. Gree
ley has some grounds Tor his hopeful esti-
mates Of Pennsylvania in October. Upon
full popular vote, including the new
black element. MIR Buckalew will have.
say twenty thousand republican majority
to overcome but if the liberal or anti
Grant republicans even give him eleven
thousand. in addition to the full democrat
ic vote. they can probably carry him in !;
and surely the Greeley republicans ought
to be able to muster eleven thousand men
from the three hundred aud fifty thousand
republican voters of the great State of
Pennsvlvania. At all events. rs in 1856
and 1868, the October results in the State
elections Of Pennsylvania. Indiana and
Ohio. and mainly in Pennsylvania. will
settle the question Of the Presidential cleo
ton of November Hence this grca, cx-
element in Pennsylvania
