beeu looked forward to with such deep, felt
interest, have. - far - it 10 possible for
anything to do 20, decided the presidential
election in favor of the Republican party.
The result in Ohio not only insures that
State for Hayes and Wheeler, but strength
ems the party throughout the country,
while the result in Indiana 10 gain of four
members Of Congress, and majority in the
Legislature secures that State also for the
Republicans In 1872 Hendricks was elected
Governor by . mai ,ri'y OF ll4S, and in
November following General Grant carried
the State by 90 507 majority, and such will
again be the result, - is shown by the vote

electing nine ont of thirteen. IL the present
Congress the delegation 10 eight Democrats
and five Republicans.
The vote in West Virginia will have no
more moral effect on the loyal States than
did the State of Georgia, with its e, 600 ma
jority. Both States are governed by the
same rebel element. Mr.. Tilden may rely
on this State, and 20 could John Morrissey

licane, though many well informed poll
ticians here are more sanguine of carrying
Now York than Connecticut tor Hayes and
Wheeler.
Dick Harrington, of safe burglary con-
spiracy notoriety, has surrendered himself
and given bail for his appearance when
called for. 1t is intimsted that when Har-
rington is brought to trial the bottom facts

case as early as possible, and there will be
NO delay on the part Of the government.
