In all these districts savs three tho Demo-
cratic gains vera large. OF the thirteen dis
triota tho Republicans carried only five In
1s74,-the Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh,
and Thirteenth, but in four of these the
Republican majoritiea OF 1879 were reduced
to correspond with the figures In tho tabla.
It Is confidently expected that the old nspub-
llcan majoutiss will be more than restored In
these districts this year, and other districts
gained.
There were, however, certain causes which
operated 10 insure Democratic victory In
1874 which will help to win SUCCESS for Re.
publicans in this campaign. The Liberals" !"
who were with the Democracy in the last
election, have learned the hollowness Of the
cry Of "Reforn by that party, aud have
gladly returned to thots first love. Tho ef-
forts at "roform" by tho Democracy were
chiefly profitable to Democratic officials,
and the frauds perpetrated under pre-
tense Of reform hare opened the eyes
OF those unfoEtunataa who hoped to ind
virtue and honor In the Democratic party.
Another cause OF dafeat in that election was
the unvise movs Of tho radical temperance
people in dragging the temperance question
into the campaign. The discussion Of that
issue drove away Thousands Of Republicans,
uudtd all the logislation that had been &C.
complished, and left themselves worse Oh
than before. The Issue has been dropped
now, and thu creator portion Of those vho

WAS general in all parts of the country In fa-
vor Of r clnnge." Alnino and Vermont,
however, refused to exhibit my Democratic
progress, aud now, In 1876, instead Of indi-
eating any popular demand for " change"
the Republican majority in Vermont is
double, and In Maine thrco timcs
creator than, It was Inst year. These
two statos show not only an un-
broken, bnt an increased and stronger
column OF Repub1icnnism tt,nn before. It
negatives tho iden that amy portion Of tho
Republicans have embraced Democracy or
havo abandoned HAYES to support T1IpES.
In 1872 Indiana elected HENDn1oKs Govern
OF, but Ohio rejccted tho Democracy after
the Maine and Vermont elections but tho
defeat-tho failuro Of tho Democracy to
make my impression in Maine or Ohio-wna
accepted By the country as conclusive, antl
before November tho Democratic party had
become disintegrated and male but ILL.,
tlo effort. THIS campaign now rests where It
did four years ago. Az then, the Democracy
may carry Indiana, but will suatain IN over
wholn,ing defeat in Ohio mud the drift Of
popular feeling As shown by Ohio, Maine,
and Vermont will leave but little hope In tho
Democratic party, and nothing TO inspire It's
miscellaneous followers to prosecute their
struggle to the end. Had Mainc wavcred,
thon thore would have bcen Democratic
promise but tho Maine election, excluding
ali notion TINT my popular change has takon
place, chtlls tho hopes Of evon tho most
aauruiua Iili1onitea.

That part Of Indiana which lies upon tho
Ohio River and Ia opposite Kentucky is al
ways relied upon by the Democratic party in
ali contested elections. II has always been
understood that tho Democrats draw largely
from Kentucky to increase their vota, and 1t
is remarkable how the Democratic vote rises
State officers in October, At which time there
is no election in Kentucky, but both States
vote in November. The following named
oounties in Indiana are separated from Kon-
ttcky only by the Ohio River, and wo give
the Democratic vote pollod by thom ut the
October election for Governor in 1879 md
at tho November election month later In
the same year. The figures arc remarkable

Tho only ground upon which tho Charleston
Is, o. Nt.a and Courier urges the election OF
WLL1AA b. 8lNPsoN, the Democratic candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, Is bis service To tho
South in its effort to break up the Union. It
has taken the palns to hunt up aud print Tor
several days detailed record Of tho various
regiments which ho commanded aud tho battles
In which be fought. Tho ground upon which 1t
advocates tho election OF WApAHAMproN Ia pre-
cisciy tho same. Tho Democrats Of South
Carolina, therefore, propose to elect HAMPTON
md SIMPSON - their Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, not because they are Democrats, not
because they ase we'll quall1ed to I'LL their TO-
spectivo Offices, not because they will advance
tho interests Of the State, but simply and solely
because they were secess!onists and fought
zRainAt tho Government. The attitude OF tho
8outh Carolina Democracy gives tho koy to the
attitude OF the whole Southern Democracy.
DisloYalty is ths promlnent qualification for

Latest accounts from the small army sent

burr; and, as has been the caso many times

The only answer vouchsafed to this ap-
parent contradiction under oath was sug-
gested by hr. T1IDxN's private secretary, and
greedily taken up by the Democratic news
papers, to tho effect that Mr. T11DEN's custom
was not to return actual receipts for the
year but actual earnings, including an esti-
mato Of pay subsequently received for
services rendered during the year. Unfortu-
natoly, this statement led to an investigation
Of the work done by Mr.. TnpEN in the year
1869, and the pay llo received for 1t at Inter
period. Not to recall all tho amounts dis.
covered in this research, It is enough to say
that, on this theory also, ainglo item seems
to show that 1lr. T1IpEA falsifed his return
for 1909. 1t ia said that tho books Of tho
Alton i Terra uauts nailroad show that
for services rendered that Company in
the months OF September and 0oto.
ber, 1909, Mr. TtLDKN waa subsequently
paid the sum Of $50, 900, which he actually
received carly In the year 1868. Now, the
gross return Of Nr. TnpxN's income from
all sources in 1869 was less than $14 200, as
hs swoss to 1t. On the theory that he re-
turned his "carnings" and not hia xctual
receipts, 1t ia shown that bis earnings for q
singls client In that year wsre $4,000; on
tho theory that he returned his actual re-
ceipts and not his Earnings" We have his
sworn oath that he received from q single
client In that yaar the sum Of go, 600.
There Is the same discrepancy In both theo-
rios, and It Ia this which Mr.. Tnpxx il re-
quired to explain. The case IL simple
one; the explanation ought to be equally 30.
We repeat that 1t will give us genuine sat-
istaction, for the good nams Of the nation,
to sequit 1lr. TnDzs fully Of the charge Of
swearing falsely and defrauding the Govern
ment, Tho disgrace ia one that the nation
will have to bear II he be chosen President,
and, 90 long as there Is even remote posi-.
bility Of that occurrence, we much prefer
that he shall be relieved Of any suspicion OF
guilt. We shall not be able, nevertheless,
TO aequit the Democratic party Of low
moral tons and dishonest tendency, which
prompted 1t, In tho absence Of an
explanation, to bring further disgrace
upon tho nation BY seeking to make
Gov, HA1p equally blaok without tho
shadow Of suspicion. Awaiting Gov. IT,
pzA'a explanation We still discover IN indios-
tion Of higher sentiment Of honesty than
that represented by the Democratic party,
and bolieve that 1t IL this sentiment which
has forced Mr, Tupxs At last to make an a.
fort to remove the prima faas case sgainst
him. Il ws do 4pt mlssppzehend this santi-

-Four weoks from Tuesday the State cleo
ton will occur In Indiana. That State is
looked upon By tho Democracy as one Of the
few faithful Northern States, and it ia in
great measure being mado tho battle-ground
Of the present campaign. More Of T1LDEN's
money is being expended in Indiana than in
my other Btste, except perhaps Now York.
But tho Republican party Is not asleop.
Tho rast four weeks havo witnessed thor
ough organization Of that party for the work
OF tho CANVASS, and the ablest speakers Of tho
country have taken tho field. MonTos, KILL
LEI, HAnn1soH, and scores Of others aro at
work, and BLAINE, DR1srow, INoERsoL1, and
6oHuRx will soon be sent into that State.
Enthusiastic crowds greet these speakers at
all their appointments, and ovcry township
Inns its HAYES and WHEELEn Club, uniformed
and drilled, while local oratora ars hard at
work imparting valuable political information
and awakening the people.
Republicans everywhere arc doep1y inter-
esteil in tho result Of 1ndiana's election. Tho
national pa1ty looks to the party ii that
state rs one Of its most important members,
and every indication that the result Of 1874
will DO reversed is hailed with gladness.
But Indiana Republicans have no easy war
to vnge. 70 wrest the power from tie De-
mocracy is no light task. That our rsaders
may SEQ what has to be overcome In TINT
State, q table has been prepared showing tho
Democratic gains In tho various districts In
tbs last election. These figures aro obtained
by comparing the majorities for Governor in
1879 with the majorities for Congressman in
1874;

We have beon surprised to see tho state
mont made that the Gas Committee Of the
Common Council intond to report In favor
Of adopting b1r. WATK1Ns proposition to
furnish the gas-lamps at $l.75 per 1000
feet in the South and North Divisions, and
Mr.. D11lmos' proposition to supply the
West Division At 50 per 1000 feet. Both
propositions are in excess Of tho ultimatum
made by tho Council in tho resolution
adopted wook ago declaring TINT gas must
ba furnished at $1.50, or the city would try
oil. They are further defective in not being
equal In torms, aud there il certainly no
reason why Mr. D1111Nos' Company should
be paid Is cents per 1000 feet moro than
Mr. wATxNs' Company il there we.e any
distinction it should bs in favor Of the Int
tor, since 1t waa large sufferer from the
fire Of 1871, while the West Side Company
escaped loss.
We apprehend that Messra. WATKINS and
B1111Hos Aavo both discovered signs Of
Weakening somewhere in tho Council or
they would not be 20 exogbitaut anl blunt In
their demands. II 30, tho Council must JUS
tify tho reputation for honesty 1t has earned
by defeating any recommendation to pay tho
Gas Companies moro tAnn $1.50 per LOCO.
Kr. WATKINS, 1t will be remembered, express
ed his willingness couple Of weeks aimee to
supply tho Tampa ut $1.60, using three-feet
burners. His excuse for Withdrawing this
proposition now Ia that, since that time, tho
Council had voted franchises to new
companles. as thew had perfect rioht
to do. This IA airnnly no exouss at Ill
