THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

Nearly every republican paper we open
states that, while the republicans have CARL
ed Ohio by ten or twelve thousand majority,
the vote IN Indiana is either so close as to be
s,lll in doubt or the democratic majority is
from one to 1000. The following, from the
Gibson Courier, is about the nearest to fair
statement we have met III any republican pa
per;
The result of the elections in Indiana and
OHIO on Tuesday, is in the main favorable
to the republicans. In the former State the
democrats elect Blue Jeans Williams COVER.
nor by majority of some 4 900 votes, but the
republicans carry the Legislature, and elect
nine of the thirteen members OF Congress,
clear gain OF five OHIO gives between 5000
and 10000 republican majority on the candi-
dates for Supreme Judge, and elects III out OF
10 Congressman, gain of four. This is
republican gam of9 Congressman in the two
States. The result insures Ohio tor Hayes IN
November, and leaves little doubt that lndi-
ana will go the same way.
And this is unfair and dishonest In many
important particulars. The result in 1ndi-
ana is not lin the main favorable to The re-
publcans," nor in any degree. Instead of
1000, the majority for Williams, the demo,
cratic candidate for Governor, is over 5000;
while the truth is that Williams ran behind,
or rather Harrison, the republican candidate,
ran ahead of his ticket, and the true test be-
tween the parties is shown by the vote on
Congressman, as follows:

CHARLES A. FERGUSON.

The republican papers of this county, for
tn. last few weeks, have apparently taken
alarm at the active canvass of Mr.. Ferguson,
our candidate for sheriff, and as an offset
have been plastcring over Mr.. Stevens, his
opponent, with sickening and fusome puff.
ferry. Now We have nothing TO utter agains,
Mr.. Stevens personally, bet we deny cmphar
ically that he is better or more deserving
aud reliable citizen, or whit more compe-
tent for the Office of sheriff, than Mr.. Fergu
son. Charley is intelligent, young, active,
fearless, and just the material 10 make an
efficient, wide awake officer. The miserable
lies told about him two years ago have been
abandoned, and his moral and social stasd-
Ing is unlmpeachable and above reproacn.
Any attempt to make a saint of Mr.. Stevens
10 Charley's depreciation, is simply absurd
and won't go down.

Democratic Republican
majorities. majorities.


Showing a square democratic majority ia
the state of over 5000; and also showing, in
cidentally, how it happened, through an in.
famous gerrymander of the state by the re-
publican legislature in 1S73 that the demo
Gratis, with ten thousand majority, carry but
4 of the Is congressman.
And the stereotyped statement OF the
Courier, that republicans carry the legisla-
ture' in Indiana, is also untrue. In spite of
the infamous republican gerrymander OF the
state, the democrats have majority of two
ia the senate, and of certainly one, and per
haps two, in the house, giving them clear
majority of three or four on joint ballot. The
matter is of little Importance, as there is no
senator to elect yet even so small demo
cratic majority in the legislature insures an
nent.
The result in Ohio is equally misstated IN
the above and falsified by every republican
journal. The republican majority is not "be-
on an increased vote in the state since last
year of $4,000. The loss of three democratic
congressman resulted from the same cause as
in Indiana,-a dishonest gerrymander of the
congressional districts The democrats must
carry Ohio by at least $4,000 to get MAORI.
ty OF the congressman. In view of the scant
republican majority In October, and the fact
that many Germans will vote for Tilden who
voted with the republicans in October, the
democrats have the fullest confidence of be-
ing able TO carry the state for Tilden in No
vember.
Very few republican papers make any
mention of West Virginia, or if they do, con-
cede a democratic majority of over 5000,
whereas in tact the state went democratic by
1900 majority al the lote election.
The republican papers uniformly claim
Colorado by a majority of from 1900 to
$500, while IN fact their majority is less than
$50, and there is still room for grave doubt
whether, on the official count, they have car
ried the state at all.

MICROSCOPIC POLITICS.

Whether II comes from the enthusiastically
atomic characteristics of his brain structure,
or from looking through glass eye, certain
il is, that the editor Of the Ottawa Republican
is phenomenal in his singular interpretation
of matters worthy of decent concernment and
his propensity to magnify into vast proper
tons objects naturally Insignificant and con-
temptible. The stealing of thousand mil
lions from the public treasury by the whisky
ring and the pardon by Grant, "ior the good
of the party" of the few thieves who unhap,
PLY were caught and convicted, are matters
apparently Of such vastness as to be leagues
above and beyond that editors capabillty of
appreciation or comprehension; while such
an enthusiastically minute and contemplate
little campaign fraud as that started by the
Joliet Republican about Congressman Camp
bell cheating the post office department out
of few pennies ny circulating his speech as
a supplement in few local ne wspapers, is
seized upon as matter of transcendent con-
sequence and magniied into ridiculously in.
fiated proportions. Now that whole matter
is too triaing and absurd for serious treat
ment. 1t seems SIr. Campbell made speech
during the last session of congress, and at the
suggestion of the publishers of the Industrial
Age, IN which 1t was first published, had a
few thousand copies of the speech printed in
the form of supplement to several news
papers published in Mr.. Campbell's district,
and as such folded into those papers and cir.
culated among their subscribers. The Re
publican pretends that this was fraud on the
post office department, and that CIRCULAR
postage ought to have been paid on those
supplements. The pretense Is nonsensical
and absurd. Any daily or weekly newspa.
per has a right TO print and fold into its reg,
ular issue as large supplement as it pleases,
without being subjected to extra or circular
postage, so long as said supplement contains
legitimate newspaper matter, and even the
editor OF the Republican will not have the
hardidood to pretend that congressional
speeches, reports, &c, and not legitimate
newspaper matter. The Republican itself has
more than once had Grants annual message
printed in precisely the same way and folded
into and circulated with It's regular issue, and
no one ever questioned the legitimacy of the
practice. If the fact of its having been print
ed at Chicago and circulated as the supple
ment Of Joliet or Ottawa paper was VIC
lation Of law in the case of Campbell's
speech, then was the circulation of Grants
message, printed at the Journal Office IN Chi.
cage, in the Ottawa Republican fraud on the
post office; and in the same degree is every
newspaper with patent inside or outside a
fraud on the post Office department. Mani.
testify the hullabaloo of the Republican, on this
subject Is ridicuously absurd ana contempt,
BILE, and beneath the serious notice Of any
but an atom monger like Cullen.

THAT LYING ASSOCIATED PRESS.

The associated Press is an organization
fishers, binds itself to furnish telegraph news
on all subjects from all parts of the country
without note, comment or party bias of any
sort 1t is notorious, however, that in fur
nishing election returns it has for years pas
been grossly partial to the republican party
In the returns of the recent October elections
its partisan bias was especially and indecent
ly conspicuous. Thus four days after The
Indiana election, the Associated Press sent a
dispatch from Indianapolis as follows:
"The republicans have certainly gained
four members of congress and the Legislature
The leaders OF both parties here regard 1t as d
drawn battle. Gen. Harrison and other re-
publican leaders are now preparing for the
thorough and determined canvass of the state
for the November election. They are very
confident that the state will be carried for
Hayes and Wheeler"
Morton himself could not have sent dis
patch more mendaciously and indecently par
tisan.-It was not certain that the republi
cans had either gained" or carried the legiS
lature, for they have not done SO; and 1t is an
infamous and dirty lie that "the leaders OF
both parties" at Indianapolis regard the re-
suit as drawn battle" Morton himself on
the same day at Omaha, gave up the state for
Hayes, ard told the republicans that the only
hope of Hayes election lay in carrying New
York. The democratic leaders of Indiana
have 70 more doubt Of carrying that state for
Tilden in November than the democrats of
Kentucky have of carrying tina, state for Til.
den, Hendricks and reform.

Col W. l.. Gibson, democratic candidate
for recorder Oh this county, having visited
La Sale recently, the Democrat speaks of him
as follows:
The colonel Is well known here, as also all
over the county, and especially those old
soldiers who fought by his side in the Next
can war and the late rebellion will be on hand
TO give him hearty support. Not one word
can be said of aught against HMM fact, the
Republican newspapers in this county have
frequently spoken very highly of this gentle
man. 4 good soldier In two wars an honest
and industrious citizen-he will command
majority of the votes of the county, and it
matters little to which political party he may
belong. Such man is the old veteran, Col.
Gibson.
1t is needless 10 say, we heartily endorse
the above. Col Gibson is making au sctlve
canvass and is confident not only of bis own
election, but that the democrats will carr y
their whole ticket in this county by manu-
some majority.
