der the lead OF Governor Hendl icks, took the ut
most advantage. 10 their platform and through
out the canvass they not only clsmored for the re-
peal, at and without condition Of all measures
looking toward resumption. hut covered the State
with popular platudes on the beauty and value Of
the z, eenbsck and the immense advantage, 10 the
farmers especially, of having an abundance OF
them. III the democrats have carried lnsana rs
they claim, it is upon this speclous and mislead-
ing cry.
In Ohio, as well known, the republican vote was
reduced by local influences, the force of which is
now fully spent, leaving the field clear for a
strag II issue between the two parties at the Nov
enber election. If the repuhl cans have five
thousand majority for the secretary of state, they
can, with reasonable effort count confidently
on twenty five thousand majority for the candd-
ate for President. While these two el, ciiOns in
themselves settle nothing, they show positively
enough that the sentiment of these ~ eat States is
rising once more against the attempt of the dem
ocratc party II get the control of the general
government. Ia the State and district eli cuons,
where national issues are in allegiance, the people
are sometimes sposed to let the republicans hght
losing battle, as penalty for their shortcomings.
But al The approach of great crisis, when instiut
tons, and laws, and the rights Of citizens are in
peil, they rally again to the only standard which
represents the security and perpetuauon OF these
great interests We count, therefor with unaba-
bsted confidence the support of these States in
November, and also of the great STATE, OF New
York and Pennsylvania, which still hold. as Tor
many years past. tie key of the situation.
Here in New Enslant, where there Is little or
no element OF III certainty TO excite interest there
Is SIM great work to be done. The electoral
votes of these SIX States ought to be given To Gov
eruor lIayes and thev will be if the true sentiment
of the people is suii GENTLY awakened TO express
itself at the polls, where alone It can be made OF
any practical value.

After the Battle.

Taking into account the great odds against the
republicans at the ginning of the year, they have
every reaon for encouragement at the present state
Of the canva 8. They have met with no ser US re
verses hey have gained many brilliant victories
Whether they prove to have in Iadiana thousand
more Or less tn maj ,ri'y on the governor vote,
Is of comparatively little consequence in vi of
the important fact that they have made eat gains
which, if they ave ma ched else shere, will give
them control Of the electoral college without the
sla ow of a doubt. They have fought a good
fight against an emy always powerful, and now
re emf reed by prevalent dis,rus' of the admins
traitor, AMI still more by popular and delusve
belief in The SAVING pc yer of more paper money

republican vote In either of the close
eastern States, with similar gains over the
heaviest vote ever polled by that party,
would insure republican victory in all.
III. AT the west, the voters of German
nativity have usually voted with the re-
publicans, and those who were Influenced
to vote against Gov. Hayes counted as a
loss to that party and as a gain to the
democrats. 1t is not probable that the
same weak stories can be used with effect
a month hence, but even if they should
be, the German vote in the eastern States
has been mainly democratic.
". 1t is not at all certain that the cleo
torai vote of Indiana can be secured for
Mr.. Tilden. Mr.. Hendricks carried the
State in 1872 by 1900 majority, but 26.0o0
democrats refused to vote for Mr. Greeley
in November. and Grants majority was
over 900. 1t is quite possible that the
extreme inflationists. who were enlhusi-
astic for Williams, may be less hearty in
support of the electoral ticket. Mr.. Hen
bricks himself, because of his trimming,
has not been popular with this class OF ia
natics They have been educated to hate
Mr.. Tilden and the New York democracy,
and il would not be surprising if one in a
hundred of them should refuse to vote in
November next, as one in eight Of the In
diana democrats did refuse To vote in 1872
But a loss OF less than one per cent. Of
their total vote would apparently insure a
republican victory.
V. nally, the most disheartening fact
to the democrats is now conclusively es-
tablished, namely, that the hard times,
the demand for Il change and the cry of
reform. produce no effect whatever. The
republicans hold every State at the north
which they carried prior to the election in
1872; they show much more united aud
solid array; they poll larger vote, and
nfanifes, greater confidence and determi-
nation. But the democrats have relied
with absolute confidence upon the cry of
reform, the hard times and the desire for
a change.
These being important, AS the elections
in Maine and Vermont. Indiana and Ohio
conciCsively prove, the democrats will
presently begin to understand that it is the
same old fight over again. upon issues
which have never failed to secure repub-
lican victory, against a republican party
strengthened by thousands of liberals and
independents who have at times opposed
it. The dream of tidal wave melts
away. Disgust, disappointment. convic-
ton that defeat is inevitable, will take
possession of democratic minds in spite of
all the boasts of leaders. Reform and the
hard times were their strong cards, and
they fail. 1t will not do for republicans
to be over. confident. They have hard
| fight before them in this State. But it will
be their own fault if they do not triumph.

The Albany Journal considers the cleo
tions in Ohio and Indiana as practically
deciding the Presidential contest 10 favor
of Hayes and Wheeler, and remarks:
"lf the Democracy cannot hold their
own in Indiana. they cannot hold it any.

Ohio against them and Indiana showing
such heavy losses, they cannot fairly hope
for single Northern State. They may

The Recent Elections.

The results in Ohio and Indiana. when
fully weighed. will be found exceedingly
damaging TO the democratic party. The
mere disappointment of failure in Ohio.
and OF success by very slender majority
If at all in Indiana. will count for much.
The most desperate efforts had bee n made
All the arguments and all the campaign
tricks which the party had at command
were employed. with marvellous organ.
ization, abundance OF money and gr. at
skill in fraud. Yet the majority in Ohio
Is certainly larger than it was last year,
and In Indiana the democrats have not
held their advantage. In both States
they have lost on congressman. The
electoral vote of Ohio and OF every other
western State, with the possible excep-
tion of Indiana, will go to Gov. Hayes.
But this is not all. There are other con-
siderations which will powerfully affect
public opinion in New York, Connecticut
and New Jersey, where the battle is now
to be fought.
i. Nothing but the extreme repudiatng
wing of the party has prevailed. il there
has been a democratic success in Indiana
That State, UNNECESSARILY worse than any
other in respect to The currency question
and the public credit, has been carried
1t at all, only by demagogue whose
sympathy with the worst democratic ele-
ment made him strong in that State, as il
would have made him weak in those
which are now to decide the contest. The
worst and most dangerous end of the
party gains the upper hand. Precisely
because the party can win, or nearly win,
in such State as Indiana, and with such
candidate as Williams, it will be weaker
In New York.
III. In few cities in Ohio great gains
were made by the democrats through the
temperance question, and the stories wide.
ly circulated at very late hour respecting
the attitude of Gov. Hayes toward foreign
born voters. In New York. New jersey
and Connecticut the temperance issue
cannot be raised, and there will be ample
time to make the position of Gov. Hayes
thoroughly known. The remarkable
gains which the republicans made in the
ruraI districts of Ohio, even in compari.
sou with the enormous vote OF last year,
iadicate that similar gains may be expect
cd in eastern States. An equally strong

The republicans elect the whole State
ticket In Ohio by larger majority than
Gov. Hayes had last year, and gain six
republican members of Congress; while
In Indiana they carry the legislature, gain
four members of Congress, and reduce
the democratic majority of 1900 last
year on the State ticket to about 6000 this
year. And yet the democrats are rejoic-
ing at this result as though they had gain
ed q victory. Their arithmetic men
ought to "cipher out" how far this "vic-
tory" leaves them from humiliation.
