West Virginia.
WHEELING, W. VA, October 12.-But
very few returns received from this
State as yet. Those received, however,
show in some few cases gains for Goff,
Republican, but they are offset by still
heavier gains for Matthews, Democrat.
Matthews majority will probably reach
lO,0OO. The Legislature will be about
two-thirds Democratic, thus securing
them two United States Senators. The
vote OF this city and county is not yet
to insure the election of the entire DEM
ocratic county ticket.
Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 12.-At mid
night last night the Republicans con-
ceded the election of Williams and the
whole Democratic State ticket. At that
hour they had returns from A counties
giving majorities OF 3,4O0. The same
counties gave Hendricks net majority
of 120 in 1872, thus showing a clear gain
Of 3, ,2S0.
The Democrats have elected four Con-
gressmen out of thirteen. Fuller, D., is
elected by an increased majority in the
First District. Cobb, D., succeeds Will
Jams in the Second. Bicknell, D., 8 uc-
ceeds Kerr in the Third by largely in
creased majority. The Fourth District
Is in doubt. Browne beats Holman in
the Fifth by heavy majority, and Rob-
inson, R., is reelected III the Sixth. In
the Seventh Hanna, r., defeats Landers
by at least 100. The Eighth District,
now represented by Hunter, R., is in
doubt. The chances are In favor of the
Greenback candidate in the Ninth. Cal
kins, r., is elected in the Tenth. Evans,
R., Hamilton, D., and Baker, r., are re-
elected in the Eleventh, Twelfth and
Thirteenth.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 12.-Returns
from half the State, fully counted, with
reports from all the counties, show that
our conclusions given yesterday after
noon and evening were correct. Will
liams is elected by few thousand ma
jority.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 12-1 P. NJ
From view of their complete caIcuIa-
tions and advices from the best Republic
can authority, the Republican
reckoning stood at 12:45 P. NJ, thus:
five hundred and siXty-three towns
in eighty-two counties heard
from give net Democratic majority of
258. The same towns gave Republican
majority in 1872 Of 1,456, when Hendricks
carried the State by 1,14S. This looks
desperate for the Republicans.
A few OF them are sanguine enough
with these facts in view to hope, but
their Central Committee is full of
doubt, and give the chances TO the Dem.
ocrats.
What the Indiana Organs Say.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 12.-The Sem
tinel says the people of Indiana have
pronounced, in the most unequivocal
manner, not only against corruption and
extravaganza, but against the foul breath
OF SANDER and the fell spirit of hate.
Henceforth the bloody shirt will be
cipher in our politics, for the people are
heartily tired of the disgusting sight.
1t is manitestly our interest to cultivate
fraternal relations with the South. 1t is
surely our duty 10 live in charity with
all men.
1t says in the great State of Indiana
the battle is over, the victory decisive,
and the enemy is ours. Neither threats
nor invectives, nor ridicule, nor calum-
MES, have been able to move the masses
from their Just and virtuous determina- |
ton, and the fiat to step down and out
has been issued by power which brooks |
no resistance. We have gallantly fought |
the decisive battle of the National con- |
test, and it may fairly be considered as |
settled. The State Is safe and the Ma |
ton saved. Congratulations are in Or
der.
The Journal (Republican) says edito-
rally the Republican State Central Com. |
mittee do not concede the State to the |
Democracy, and in the face OF the re-
turns the Journal certainly does not, !
while cOncedIng that the Democratic |
chances for victory are equal with our |
own. But in saying this we remember |
the close contest of 1868, how the result |
was as doubtful then as now, how Re-
publicans and their candidates gave up |
at midnight on Wednesday, closing their
and abandoning the tele-
graph Office, how the Democrats were as
mpudent in their claims as they are
now. When the official figures began to
come in, the tace of affairs gradually
Governor Baker and the en-
ire State ticket were elected by small
We do not say that such
VIII be the case now, but in the light of
hat experience there is reason for Re-
)ublcans to indulge nope of final sue
cess until the official canvass closes the
loor ol hope against them.
