Daily national Republican. (Washington City [D.C.]) 1870-1872, 1872-10-03
PENNSYLVANIA, ONO AND INDIANA.

From the three great States OF Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio and Indiana we have the most
cheering accounts Of the campaign-so cheer
Ing that we feel warranted In predicting a
brilliant victory In all Ct them on next Tues
day.
In Pennsylvania the prospect grows better
aud better every day. The Republican party
Of that State seems to be thoroughly aroused
TO the necessity Of electinga State ticket and Of
administering a rebuko to the coalition, who
would hand II over to Democratic mlsrule.
The best informed politicians In the State on
both sides concode that we shall elect the
Congressmen-atlarge, which will hereafter lie
the test Of the relative strength Of the two
parties. We are firmly convinced that Hart
rant will beat BuckAlew. The registration
In Philadelphia yesterday we have not re-
celved, at this writing, In an authentic share
but II II be what we have heard privately 1t
Is, the battle Is as good as won.
The contest Is very Close In both Indiana
and Ohio, more so In the latter State perhaps
than In the former although on that point
there Is some difference Of opinion. Indiana,
we believe, will go Republican by from If
teen hundred to five thousand majority. For
information In regard 10 Ohio, we refer to
the subjOlned article from the Cincinnati
Gazette on the prospect" In that State, The
Gazette before every election gives Q review
OF the field and Ia generally correct In its esti-
mates, that journal being to the West on
election statistics somewhat the same as the
New York Tribune used to be to the East be-
| fore II became a Democratic organ and fell
into the hands of the dlsreputAble aud uu-
Trustworthy persons who now control It's
columns The Gdzettc's article Is as follows
"On next Tuesday the people Of Ohio, Indi.
ana, and Pennsylvanla vote for state officers and
members Of Congress The result will, In great
measure, foreshadoW the vote for President 10
/ November. People, therefore, nov begin to in-
/ Qulre As 10 the result OF the October contest.
| What Is the prospect This we shall answer to
| the best VI our ability,
/ Both parties, Of course, claim the elections
| This IL usual. Win or lose II is deemed prudent
| 10 keep up good courage. To admit defeat On
| tho eve Of an election would not be regarded as
rule. II certainly does not work we'll on the Re.
| publican side 10 depend on brag.
1--WE shall, therefore, In speaking Of the
prospects, tell our Republican reader. what they
| may reasonably expect, provided, during the
few days remaining Tor work and organization,
they do their duty. While there Is q certain
Republican majority 10 the three states named,
| can afford to expect TO win except by active
and vigorous Woodwork that will bring all the
voters to the polls, and vigilance that will
prevent frauds on the part OF our opponents.
Assuming that all This work will be DONE We
may safely expect TO carry Ohio by ten 10 ffteen
thousand majority. In the estimates which
bring US TO this conclusion, we have made full
allowance for the Liberal Republican disturb
Ance, and we have not lost sight Of the fact that
It ls not safe TO calculate too largely upon the
lukeWarmness that prevails on the Democratic
side. NOyes carried the State last fall upon a
very small vote. The silent vote that year In.
cluded over forty thousand Republicans. Had
these been out, and had the Democrats pOlled
their full strength, NOyes' majority would have
been forty thousand. There will be q pretty
full vote on Tuesday, and there have been no
changes growing out OF the Greeley movement
down, therefore, as sure for the Republicans.
Indiana Is always u close state, and always
doubtful The campaign this year has been IN.
night are altogether In favor Of the Republicans.
Care was taken to nominate strong men on the
Republican side for the Legislature, aud county
officers were also selected with great care. In
addition, the Republicans throughout the state
arc thoroughly united, the local feuds which
previously prevailed being laid aside OF buried
out Of sight, and there are comparatively few
Greeley Republicans 10 the State,

this game will not DO near 90 successful as Il
used TO be. Upon the whole, therefore, we con
elude that Indiana will 90 for the Republican
| by from 5000 to 5000 majority.
| "Our private AdVioes from Pennsylyanla arr
that the Republican candidate for Cong ross al
large will DO elected by 10 900 TO 1900 majority
and that Hartranft will also be chosen, but by
smaller majority. There Is dlsa1ectlon In The
party In regard 70 HArtranft, but Il does not X
tend to others, and the vote for supreme iudg,
or OOnEressmen.at-large will DO the fair test AZ
TO tho strength OF the respective parties IN tn,
State.
"ln this estimate We have purpOsoly stated
the minimum maioritles, because We desire Il
be as nearly correct as possible and we do no
want our friends to feel so sure Of the result
that they might relax their efforts.

Republicans \ majority In October the PTesl

ever, the Democrats should carry one or two, thu
