Al The time OF the st. Louis CONVENE
ton the democrats were willing to cOn
cede that their opponents would surely
carry Ohio and probably Indiana, and
commended that Tilden's chances were
good without either of those states.
After Il while they counted Indiana as
doubtful, but still abandoned Ohio. Soon
they discovered that Indiana was sure
to 90 democratic. and counted Ohio as L
doubtful state. Now the republicans
abandon Indiana to them. and they feel
confident Of carrying Ohio. This is pro-
gress. 1t seems that Il tidal wave is
rolling on, which will sweep III Uncle
