- The army of the United States consists,
on paper, of 25, 900 men. The estimate of the
Secretary of War calls for S35,0O0,000 to
maintain them. Germany spends for its army
of 100000 men, furnished with everything in
the most complete manner, sS7, 100000. If
the German army were as expensive as the
American, the annual amount to be paid
would be raised to $1,056, 100000. If the
American government were as economical as
the German government, the cost of keeping
the American army would be S275,OOO.

The Result IN Indiana.

LARGE GAIN IN REPUBLICAN, CoNGREssMEN
AND IN THE LEGIsLATURE-THE DEMOCRAT
Ic STATE TICKET ELECTED.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 12.-As the net result
of the most exciting political contest ever
fought on American soil, the Democrats
have elected their whole State ticket.
James d. Williams is elected Governor by
a majority more than 1900 larger than that
given Hendricks himself four years ago.
The Republi cans who had been marching
as Independents or "Greenbackers, were
the only ones caught in this spiders web,
for the returns prove that the Democrats
voted almost to man for Williams, while
Republicans voted for Harrington, or not
at all for Governor. Had there been no
Greenback ticket in the field, or had the
Republicans had sense enough not to vote
it, Harrisons majority would have been not
less than five thousand.
AS the fruits on the Republican side, the
great Democratic majority Of two years ago
is reduced at least 1900, and makes the
State tolerably sure for Hayes next month.
Next the Republicans have gained four
Congressman, Sexton, Rep, having carried
the Fourth District, making the delegation
now stand 9 Republicans to Democrats.
There is another crumb of comfort in the
saving of the Legislature, which is Repub-
lican by four majority in the lower house,
giving the Democrats the doubtful land the
Independents, and from the most reliable
returns received the Senate will stand :
Democrats, 23 Independents, Republi-
cans. 25 doubtful, l.

THE GAIN IN ooNGREssNEN.
Special Dispatch to the Nelo York Times
COLUMBUS, Oct. 12.-The corrections of
returns received to-day at the Republican
headquarters have increased the majority
for Barnes, which tonight stands at 6657.
This Will not probably vary much from the
official count, though entire accuracy is not
now attainable. The figures at the Demo-
cratic headquarters give Barnes about
5,6OO. They will not admit a single vote
more than they are forced to.
The change in the Congressional delega-
tion is five, as heretofore stated, and there
are likely to be two oontests-by Matthews
against Banning, and Howard against Nc
Mahon. The majority in each case is less
than hundred, and was undoubtedly OBJ
tanned by fraudulent votes. One of the most
pleasing facts of the election is the manner
in which the Germans have stood by the
ticket, and even by Col. Barnes. In the
strictly German wards OF Cincinnati he WAS
not much scratched, and the whole ticket
was handsomely supported by the Germans;
otherwise the Republicans would have been
defeated The State ticket, except Barnes,
received even greater pumber OF German
votes than were cast for Hayes last year.
The latest returns Of the votes for Judge
of the Supreme Court from about fifty
counties give Boynton over 5000 moiority.
This indicates that the ticket, excepting
Barnes, will have nearly or quite 10000 ma
jority.

to me to see every child in the State

who are able to take their children, hope
will do so, and small contribution from
