TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

The entire country has been awaiting
the result of Tuesdays elections with 8
profound degree OF interest. Indians
more especially was the central objec'
Of attention as, until very recently. the
democratic party had little hope of car
rying Ohio. Ohio was conceded to the
republicans from the beginning, ane
calculators said that "as Indiana wen1
so would go the presidential election
Canvassing has been carried on in botE
of these states with a minuteness- ane
particularly never equalled in any
former election. Both parties have put
forth their strength to the fullest extent
Every conceivable expedient has beer
resorted to to gain favor with the peo'
pie. The voices of party orators have
been heard almost without intermission
for six weeks past; torches have blazed,
and both states have been kept in a
condition of extreme excitement. It has
been only within the last two weeks that
democrats began to entertain hopes OF
carrying, not only Indiana. but Ohio as
well. elf Indiana goes democratic in
| October, we can count on a democratic
triumph in November" said the calcu-
lators; eff both states vote the ticket.
Hayes had as well. decline the race at
once, and rest him On his laurels as gov
ernor OF Ohio"
We have every reason to be gratified
with the result. Indiana has gone DEM
ocratic by a rousing majority fully
5000. Ohio, though still republican,
is so by a reduced vote. In 1872 Grant
carried Indiana by 22,515. This makes
a democratic gain of nearly thirty thon-
sand in that state. We could ask for
nothing better. And this gain has been
accomplished in the teeth of such oppo-
sition as was never before thought OF.
Morton had command of money enough
to buy, not only every man in Indiana
who had a price to import negroes from
Kentucky and Missouri, but in addition
to all this, it is confidently asserted, had
$4,000 to pay Wolcott, the greenback
candidate for governor, to withdraw
from the race and throw his party
strength in favor of the republicans: In
spite of it all, democracy has carried
the state, and a democratic governor is
elected.
In Ohio, the election was for minor
state Offices, a legislature and members
Of congress. Last year the republicans
the state. Their majority has
been decreased.a as evinced by Tuesdays
election, and it will not be astonishing
if the purity and known business quail

going to vote for the man whom they
will give the country an honest
