Dashed from their mooliug by the
great storm in the West, the Repnb-
leans feign to have found a haven
of security in counting congressional
noses. Not much. The Democrats
do not expect to have such q majority
i'll the next House as in the present,
The tidal wave of ~ was unlocked
for, unprecedented and unaccounted
for on any basis to justify hope Of its
returning. The boot is on the other
leg. What has been done in the
matter Of congressional elections
shows very clearly that we will have
a handsome majority. We have lost
eight congressman, but we must lose
twenty~eight more to reverse the
tables. Remembering that we must,
and will, gain several in the South, OF
which Virginia will donate one, the
Rals will have to 60 on electing and
increasing far beyond the ratio fixed
in the late elections if they wonld
come upto the standard Of a respecta'
Die minority.

ments, having almost ruined the pros
perlty OF the North by destroying the
prosperity of the South, having created
terror, uncertainty and confusion in all
the productive Industries Of the South,
which furnish most Of the exports Of
our whole country, keep in motion the
commerce and manufactures Of the
North and East, and furnish a market
for the agricultural products Of the
West, they now purpose, fy renewal Of
the same fatal policy, to pr0long their
own power in the hope of concealing
their misdeeds, and for this purpose
they do not hesitate to renew the cry of
Intolerance, to revive the dying memories
Of fraternal strife, and to.appeal to the
fears and prejudices Of the timid and the
ignorant.
Fellow-citizens These men and their
measures have been completely tried
and have completely failed. An oppres-
slye taxation, an exhausted South, an
Impoverished North, fluctuating cur
rency. the enterprise Of an Industrious
people locked fast in the paralysis of
hard times-such is the outcome Of their
political policy, such are the achieve
ments OF their long supremacy. Your
ballots in November can alone dictate
change OF measures and a change of
men. Shall not the uprising ofpatriotism
along the valley of Ohio 90 on to a
complete and beneficial revolution in
the administration Of the governmental Of
! the United States? Will you not, by
| the voice Of overwhelming majoritie8
at the polls, proclaim your invincible
faith, after all these years Of corruption
and passion, in the high immortal
! principles of government by the people
for the people, in simple honesty and
strict economy, as the supreme wisdom
OF public policy, in justice as the mother
OF power, and in civil freedom as the
be-all and the end-all Of true Repub-
lican nationality? VIII you not build

and fraternity between all sections, all

our system of American common
wealths ; on frugality and economy in

of administration, and, having lost your
prosperity through governmental misrule
regain that presently governmental
reform?

Substantially their campaign with

shake off the southern demagogues
like Kellogg, Packard, Spencer and
Chamberlain if they should pro-
claim good will and cut loose from
authors and supporters of notorious

South, then they have still a chance
of success But if, on the other hand

count of honest votes at the ballot

After the Battle.

Till the official returns gave the
democratic party victory in Indiana
the outlook was not the most encour-
aging the reason being only that
the men entrusted with the direction
OF affairs were unable to stem the tor
rent of enthusiasm with which the
people engaged in the October
elections.
When I'ilden was made the nomi-
nee, it was understood that his cleo
ton depended upon certain Southern
States, with New York, New Jersey.
Connecticut, California and Oregon.
His hard money predictions, it was
supposed, made the carrying of
Western state an impossibility. To
this theory of the case the Executive
Committee, and Iilden himself, tena
clously Yadhered. Hendricks fought
the battle in Indiana alone, against
the whole odds of government and
money, until the last few weeks de-
voloped that the people were looking
to the result in these elections with
the same confidence in their decisive
tendency as in former presidential con-
tests. To the observer of events it
appeared to come too late; and yet
such gauge of battle beng once ac-
cepted made success on that field an
absolute essential to its achievement
on the national arena. In a word.
the Republicans forced the Demo
Gratis, to the issue against Judgment
and inclination, because the chances
were largely in their favor. Ohio, in
elections which called out her strength
has al ways been Republican by thous-
aDds and with candidate from that
state for whom its delegates to the
convention were instructed to vote.
they felt assured of forty to ffly
thousand majority and at least half
Of this was conceded by the Demo-
cratic committees Falling to one,
tenth of il, will, of itself, so weaken
Mr. Hays as to make his defeat Ger
tain. That floating vote whose politi~
cal action is regulated by tho fuctua-
ting standard of success would ere this
have reached a determination to sup
port Iilden if there had been no other
election this month but that of Ohio.
Indiana gave Lincoln majority Of
twenty thousand, and has been Res
publican in every presidential election
since With Morton to lead such
phalanx of stumpers as were sent to
him; with all the power the Federal
Government could exert with all the
money they couldraise by assessments
and voluntary contributions, the state,
being without a registration system.
and within easy access of thousands
Of INSCRIPTIONS voters who could be
purchased to 60 there and vote, the
Republican managers had no doubt
of the result. What must be their
chagrln, and what the disappointment
of their followers, when, under this
combination of adverse circumstances
the Democrats have triumphantly pre-
vailed We can form but a poor
idea Of it even by calling to mind the
effect of defeat on the Democracy in
the October elections of 1868 and
1872.
The outlook could not be more om-
inous OF victory. The prestige of
success in Indiana, to say nothing of
West Virginia, makes assurance
doubly sure in the states named
above as Tildens hope and strength

For the decade ending in 1880, the
detected frauds on the revenue, as
exhibited in the total of fines. pen
allies and forfeiture, were in all $9,537.
For the decade ending with 1860,
they were $177,339. For the decade
ending with 1870, they were $4,2l9,-
$50. For the five years 1869 -73,
they were S4,391, 159. Yet in these
years the temptation to fraud, as
measured by the reduction in the
