THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

ginia, Ohio and Indiana. All three OF
these states have given their votes to the
Republican candidates fer the Presidency
the first since its organization in 1868
the latter two for the past twenty years
without intermlssion. These three states
are, therefore, claimed by the Republican
National Executive Committee rs Re
publican States. Should the De
mocracy carry any one of the
three, on the 10th of October
that fact will show the drift OF popular
sentiment to be against Radical success
and in favor ofa triumph of retrenchment
and Reform. Should the Democracy
carry any two of them in October, the
overwhelming defeat of the admistrs-
ton would be evident. Nothing would
save the GRANT.HAYEs party from route
and annihllation. All eyes are, there
fore, turned toward these states. The
Baltimore Gazette, in a review of the
situation concludes that the chances i'm
favor of TILDEH in West Virginia are
very great. In fact, the best opinion
among the Republican papers gives that
state to TILDEN. Indiana has now Mr..
HENDRICKS in the governors chair, but
he was elected by small majority
q, ,l48), and even then ran ahead OF his
ticket about one thousand votes. Its
State Legislature is Democratic by q con-
siderable majority, and it has Demo-
cratic representation in the House OF
Representatives, all of whom, however,
with one important exccption-Blue
Jeans WILLIAMs-were elected by
small majorities. Indiana cannot, there
fore, be claimed as strong Democratic
state. But it enters the present cam
paIgn with every assurance of sweep
ing Democratic victory-the Boys in
Blue to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The Democratic nominee, Old Blue
Jeans WILLIAMS, Is one OF the ihos'
popular men IN the state. Ia lne eiec'
