The absorbing topic Of conversation
during the day has been the astonishing re-
I suit Of the elections Ia Ohio snd Indiana.
TheIe are very lew people who have the au-
dacity 10 assert B. at they had any idea OF
the overwhelming success that awaited the
I Democracy. OF courss the Democrats are

suit in Ohio and Indiana is not so much oue
to the temperance issue as TO the circum-
stance that the people have finally opened
