/ The result OF the elections Ia Ohio
and Indiana places the election of Mr.
Tilden ia November beyond 4 persd :
venture. The Democracy OF iheia
two States have rendered splendid
service to the National Domocralio
party. The loyalty of the 5reeuback
Democrats of Ohio to the Democratic
organization has been Dobly attested.
and we repeat, in the earliest hours
after the election. that the Democratic
organization is worthy Of their cona-
denee aud support. We assume, With
incomplete returns before us, that the
Republican party has carried Ohio ay
a very small majority, aud with equal
reason we assume that the Democracy
have carried Indiana BY small mar
gin. THIS result, while il Is not Of
such nature as to send all the Union.
like sheep jumping over d wall. 70 the
Democratic party in November. is,
nevertheless, a substantial Democratic
victory. 1t is not a drawn" battle.
Ii is far better for the Democracy than
that The obstacles against which
the Democracy Of Ohio and Indiana
contended were exceedingly formida-
bic. They had believed that West
ern candidate should have been Sc
lected at st. houis, and they had
earnestly asked for a platform thor
onghly and unmistakably harmonious
with the Western interests and the
Southern interests, which would be
identical with the Western. They
were disappointed in both desires. an
Eastern candidate was nominated, a
platform not quite that which the
Democrats of the October States de-
sired was adopted Ii was loudly
proclaimed to the country that the
managers Of the National Democratic
party abandoned Ohio and Indiana 10
the Republicans, and rested their case
in the East, in New York, COnnecti-
cut aud New jersey, whose electoral
vote, IN addition to those which are
certain TO be cast for the Demecratic
candidates, would elect a Democratic
President in November. These. among
others. we're depressing Circumstances,
and IN view of them the result ia these
States was a glorious Democratic tri-
umph. Ii was an earnest OF the national
victory Of the party. Specially was il
a noble evidence OF the iealiy Of the
Democracy OF this State and Of Illdi-
ana OF the great party, ancient Of days,
that appears, after tho buifetines and
the glories Of three-quarters Of cen
tury, as the party in which the people
still trust. The unlimited appliances.
honest aud dishonest, legitimate and
used by the Republicans
to carry these two States by emphatic
majorities, are known Of all men,
They should have produced notable,
tremendous results. Ohio is, or has
been, Republican State since the
party was born. The Re-
publican party has never failed to
carry the State when largo vote was
pOlled. The fact that under such fa-
yorable conditions, aud with such eff
fort, the Republicans, it they have
succeeded IN Ohio, have succeeded By
4 majority SO unprecedeniedly small
on vote 80 unprecedeatedly large. is
a democratic victory. It is proof that
the temper Of the American people is
a desire for a change. IL is a preface
