Meaning Of the Result in
Ohio and Indiana,
victory Assured.


Letus thank God and take courage.
We have met the enemy on two of the
! hardest fought political battle fields in
our history and the result Ia u glorious
and enduring victory. The Democracy
frankly admitted the gravity of the
conflict .fhey AZ iralkly conceded
that defeat meant aunihilatlon aud
Jhis too with "A mil knowledge of the
oUia against Which tiry fought. They
Knew that over oue hundred thousand
Federal Office holders had been nnssed
against them; tina! money had been
used without stint to corrupt and de
muynlile them. They were not dis
hynrlvued. Their lines never wavered
for an instant They have met the
enemy and put him TO rout ON II field

line OF victories, Indiana Is

credit and praise to the indumitablc
Democracy Of Ohio. Where we had

splendid victory. Where we had

with merely IA repulse We

lOreeOue conclusion, and Hayes would
probably have been removed from the
Republican ticket. But ~ the case
stands, there is hope enough lett for
the Republicans 10 stimulate them to
desperate struggle-possibly nerve
them 10 n revolutionary effort for the
retention Ut their power They will
make their last stand IN New York.
On that State they viii concentrate all
their resources, aud within its borders
they will mass all their forces. It's for
tuuHle for the Democracy that circum-
stances compel the Republicans to thus
assaii their most impregnable strong
hold New York can be easily de-
Tended. The Republicans cannot at
tack it except under immense and in
surmountable difficulties. The advan-
tages which the Democracy will enjoy
in this struggle are that New York Is
naturally n Democratic state; that
their can idnte il the most popular
Governor that the State has had for
many years, and their organization is
the most perfect ever known in the
history OF the party. The disadvan.
tages OF the Republicans are obvious
and need not be recapitulated. The
whole situation from this time until
November 7 may he summed up by
saying that the only hope the Repub-
iicans can possibly have of ginning
the Presidential contest rests IN thoir
carrying New YORK. Aud they haye
not one chance in hundred OF doing
this,
