INDIANA ANDoHIo,

INDIANA AND OHIO.
This is the day of the grand re-
union Of x-Federal soldiers al
Indianapolis. The election comes
of in Indiana and 0hionext Tues
day. From this time on the cam
paign win be one of the most hotly
contested on record. The Republi-
cans Of Indiana ale charging that
the Democrats are importing voters.
This is ridiculous, in view of the
fact that they themselves have col
onized hundreds if not thousands
of negroes from Kentucky on pur-
pose to vote at these two elections.
The Democrats, however, are at
work terribly in earnest, and there
is a very strong prospect that Blue
Jeans Williams will carry Indiana.
E. V. Smalley, the staff correspon-
dent Of the New York Tribune,
writes from Ohio that if the Repub-
licans carry that State by 1000
majority they viii do well. This is
a sweeping admission, and shows
how critical the situation is to the
minds Of The Republicans. A
Democratic success in both States
would insure the election of Tilden
and Hendricks in November; but
it is to be expected, we should
think, that Hayes would carry his
own State. Should Indiana go
Democratic and Ohio Republican
at this election, then will come the
tug Of war. In Indiana will be
elected a full ticket of State Off
GERS, thirteen members of the next
Congress, the Legislature and va
rious minor officials. There are
three tickets for State officers in
the field, composed as follows:
