POINTS BY PULITZER.
The Results of the October Elections
Summarized.

The blowing OF Republicans is over the
blow at Repubicanism remains. 1t is a
death blow Last Tuesday decided the cleo
ton of Samuel j. Tilden just as surely as
the October elections OF four years ago de-
cided the defeat of Greeley. The result of
last Tuesday may be summed up, in brief,
as follows:
l. The entire Democratic state ticket in
Indiana is elected after the most extraordi-
nary political contest ever known in the his
tory of this country, by a majority of at least
5000, probably 10000 votes.
=. This secures to Tilden and Hendricks
next November Indiana's Is electoral votes
without the remotest shadow of a doubt by
at least 10000 majority
3. This secures every Northern state that
is now Democratic for Tlden and Hendricks
or at least IS votes, to-wit: New York 35;
New Jersey 8; Connecticut 6; Wisconsin 10;
Indiana Is.
l. This secures every Southern statea
South Carolina included, with 1873 electoral
votes.
5. This secures, without doubt, the Pacific
states, now strongly Democratic, or at least
the nine votes of California and Oregon.
6. This secures in all at least do electoral
votes of states now Democratic, or thirty
seven more than are necessary to elect.
Z. This, therefore, secures the election of
Tilden and Hendricks, even if the bayonet
or u rdulcdl senate SHOULD 10 InTOW out
the votes of South Carolina, Mississippi, and
Louisiana, in all thirty votes.
And let it be distinctly understood that in
the above estimate not single electoral vote
is credited to Tilden the respective state OF
which is not now Democratic.
And let it also be remembered that this
does not in the least refer to the eighty-three
electoral votes of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois
and Pennsylvania which from now may be
fairly considered doubtful.
And let it also be distinctly remembered
that in this fight the problem for the
Democrats simply consisted in keeping what
they had, whereas the problem for the
Republicans was to reconquer what they had
lost. That issue came to trial in Indiana
and Ohio. No such fight can or will be
made again. The entire power of the
Republican party was concentrated in
these states The battle was fought inch
by inch with the power of despair,
Morton said in his speech at Indianapolis
that the election of Williams would mean
the election of Hlden. Almost all the lead
ing Republican organs admitted the same
more or less distinctly. Grant himself said
in the famous Herald interview that the cleo
ton would be very close if Indiana did not
go Republican. though he expected not only
Indiana, but also West Virginia The prob
lem is settled. Every state that has today a
Democratic governor, like California, New
York, New Jersey, or Connecticut will cast
its electoral vote for Tilden and Hendricks
We will not only have solid South" but
nearly a solid North as we'll.

Culture and Refinement.
Cincinnati Enquirer.1

Indiana will probably never recover from
the disgrace" into which she has been
plunged by the election of "Blue Jeans"
Williams to the governorship. Mr.. VIII
liams is an honest man and thorough rep
resentative of the agricultural interests of
the great hog-raising state of Indiana. He
lacks culture and refinement. He can not
play piano A lot of swell-heads scattered
through the state want man of culture
and rein enienJ' in the governors office
The ancestors of some of these snobs were
fatboatmen and teamsters who never saw a
kid glove big enough to cover one of their
horny paws The gentlemen who abhor
coonskin caps and red wamuses' have an
idea that the state has lapsed into barbarism.
George Harding, who would be mistaken for a
herder even in Vinita, GALES Mr. Williams a
boor, and bemoans his election on account
of the blow that has been struck at culture
and refinement We sincerely trust that the
state will survive

CAPTAIN GRANT.
BY CARL BRENT.


From the St. Louis Times.l
I'm Captain Grant of the cavalry,
The people all look up to me,
And the party loves me well you see,
For I'm the boss of the army.
I've got fight against sitting Bull,
And yet my hands are not quite full,
And times are getting terrible dull,
80 must use my army
They say the third-terIn ghost Is laid,
But am not a bit afraid,
For the game ain Z out until it's played,
And I'm still the boss of the army.
Ulysses Hayes or Rutherford Grant,
It's all the same whichever you want,
And reform must stop its stupid cant
While command the army.
My deputy boss is Cameron,
Old SimOn's smart and secret son,
And you may bet we'll have our fun
While slashing about with the army.
No matter what the people say,
They We only got the bill 10 pay,
And laws were never in the way
We we wanted to use the army.
Now | can find some work to do
For Belknap, Bah and Orvil too,
And they will fight till all is blue,
AS suffers in the army.
And Robertson point must strain
To build the navy up again,
And spend the cash with might and main,
For the navy must help the army.
OF votes my side is getting short,
And we can hardly hold the fort
Unless we soon begin the sport
of hunting with the army.
The cOlored people must stand and pout,
And are half inclined to vote me out,
For they forget, beyond a doubt,
That freed them with the army
Well drag the darkies to the polls,
And make the Democrats hunt their holes
And haul the white men over the Goals,
When we go South with the army.
Though many howl, my will Is firm
To cause the Southern states To squirm,
And when 1 want another term
I'll sweep the North with the army.
Our plea is thin, but better than none,
Enough for me and Cameron,
And when the work is once begun
We can't control the army.
If now we've not - good excuse,
Well make one soon, and what's the use
OF holding back from turning loose
The bayonetS OF the army.
So Terry may grumble and Crook complain,
And brave mems blood the SNOW may stain,
No matter if | my point may gain
By whipping the South with the army.
For must support the Spencer crew,
And Ames and Packard, and Moses, too,
And in that I'll find enough to do,
AS long as I'm boss of the army.
