When Hayes organs talk about the
"treason" of the Northern Democracy
in trying TO secure a "solid South"
they never explain why it is not "trea-
son" for the Republican party to use
the forces of the Government and its
material to make the South solid for

Let US thank God and take courage.
I We have met the enemy on two Of the
+ hardest fought political battle fields in
our history, and the result is a glorious
and enduring victory The Democra
cy frankly admitted the gravity Of the
conflict They a. frankly conceded
that defeat meant aunihilati0u, and
this too, with full knowledge Of the
odds against which they fought They
knew that over one hundred thousand
Federal officeholders had been ma-sed
against them; that money had been
used without stint to corrupt and de-
moralize them They were not dis
heartened. Their lines never wavered
for an instant They have met the
enemy snd put him to ronte on "a field
where he bad won an almost uubroken
line Of victories. indiana is ours
West Virginia is ours Ohio has been
withheld from Us by the bare majority
OF 8 900. -Four years ago Ohio was

On Tuesday that majority was cut

The Republicans COncede the
I,rOba bkIlty.


The Democrats of this section have
grown so use to defeat that they, or at
least some of them, do not appreciate
the magnificent prospects for the elec
ton Of Tilden and Hendricks. 1t can
serve no purpose here in Kentucky
other than honest judgment.Rf the
situation, for Democrats to st8eive
themselves as to results, as Democrat
ic success in Kentucky is not ques-
toned by any, and as in less than three
weeks the whole issue will be settled
and any unfounded hopes would then
recur to plague the inventors.
One of the strongest arguments
used by the Republicans against
Northern Democrats is that that the
Southern States are solid for Tilden
and Hendricks, and there is now little
question but that these States will be
solid" not excepting South Carolina
and Florida, if the people are permitted
to hold free and fair election. Ailthe
Republican papers cOncode this Now
then let's see how many votes these
States can give Tilden. They vote as
follows:
| Alabama. 10 MissoN -. 10
| Arkansas. 8 Noaae S1lt2
| bella y ~! s.............ss' EezSs q cure
Kentucky - YirgifIa.s-ss - l

The reader vii bear in mind that it
requires 195 electoral votes to elect
the President, and that with the above
1873 from the South we still lack Il
votes of electing Tilden. Where are
they to come from?
Suppose we add the State of New
| York, which is entitled to 50 votes

The Republicans seem to concede
that the solid South is against them
and if this impression should be veri-
fed it is as certain as the rules of
arithmetic that their presidential tick
ct will be defeated if Tilden carries
his own State and the adjoining States
of Connecticut and New jersey To
be sure, the Democratic party can de-
rive little hope or consolation from the
October elections, but it must be con
sidered that the three pivotal States
are already Democratic, aud that the
Republicans must not merely hold
their own, tut make couquests to
wrest them from Democratic control
The Democratic party has also some
chances in California and Oregon.
which would more than balance South
Carolina, if the Republicans should
carry that one Southern State. The
elections, instead of deciding the pres
idential contest, will make it more
close, doubtful, strenuous and resoIute
than any national canvass in the his
tory of our politics.

The result of the elections iu Ohio
and Indiana places the election Of Mr.
Tilden beyond a peradveniure The
Democracy Of these two States have
rendered splendid service to the ia
tional Democratic party The loyalty
OF the Greenback Democrats of Ohio
to the Democratic organization has
been nobly attested; aud we re
peat, in the earliest hours after the
election, that the Democratic organi
cation Is worthy of their confidence
and support. We assume, with in
complete returns before US, that the
Republican party has carried Ohio by
a very small majority, and with equal
reasons We assume that the Democra
cy have carried Indiana by a small
margin. This result, while it Is not
OF such a nature as to send all the
Union, like sheep jumping over wall,
to the Democratic party in November,
Is, nevertheless a substantial Demo
cratic victory.

THE ROBH FRS.


Minnesota and got safely into Dakota
1t seems that after their surprise in the
woods they separated, two or three of
the gang striking southwest 10y Made
liza, Lake Shetek, LuVerne, Sioux
Falls and on toward Yankton. The
other half of the gang, it seems, kept
south of the railroad and were first
seen Oh Sunday afternoon, on Lake
Ocheeda, within three miles of Worth
1ngton. There were but two in the
first gang after leaving Madelia, and
the probability is that the man wounded
ut Mortified either died OF is now har
bored and n,lrsed by some confederate
in Minnesota. The other five have
made good their escape.
1t seems strange that with so much
excitement and so many pursurers, that
the robbers should get away. But the
lack of anything like organization will
account for it. An undisciplined mob
of men and boys have been in pursuit,
with here and there Sheriff or a
Policeman with Il band of Two OF three
disciplined men.
IT Governor Pillsbury had at once
called Oh the Sheriff OF every county
to organize Il posse of picked men, and
then placed them all under one head,
The robbers might have been taken. Or
II company or two of cavalry could
have been had, the bandits could have
been ridden down. The State should
have footed the bills of all the organ
lied forces, and rendered every possible
assistance. AS it is, the men have
given their time gratis and paid their
own bills, while the Governor went to
the Centennial. The Governor should
UAve done as the Governor Of Ohio did
when John Morgan rode into the State:
Call out a sufficient force to take him,
and see that their bills were footed, or
that they were well rationed and SUP
piled.
=, But tile Governor of the State will
probably know by the next robber raid
how difficult it is to capture even a
!. small gang and will act accordingly,
4 We hope the chase given the gang will
teach them that Min: esota is not Mis-.

cause we had passed him on the street

some of our farmer friends may think
there is some truth in it.
