The Great waterloo Of this Great
Contest 70 be Fought In
NeW.Hork.

New York Tribune. l
The prospec. for November Il mot sim
pli6ed by the October elections. Hitherto
it has been presumed that Indiana would
cast its electoral vote for the Democratic
candidates, and that Ohio would vote Tor
Gov. Hayes. There is NO doubt as to
Ohio. But the success 1.-THE infationist
William, By majority probably smaller
Than the yots cast for the Greenback tick
ct BY former Republicans, leaves the re-
snlt in Indiana ia great doubt, and 1t is not
Al all impossible that the disheartenment
or disgust Of Democrats, and their failure
to vote, may give the State to the Repub-
licans IN November, as like causes did IN
1872. West Virginia only proves that
the South Il solid, Us was expected. Ihere
Is possibility that North Carolina may
be Trested from the Democrats, but not Q
strong probability. It Is possibis that .
vote sufficiently full and homes. to insure
Democratic defeat may be obtained in
South Caroliano or Louisiana, butitwould
be- folly TO rely upon that result. It may
safely be assumed, as basis Of all calcu.
lations, that the Republicans cannot count
with confidence upon 4 single State Tor
merly slaveholding.
On the other hand, the Democrats can
not claim as certain a single Northern
State. Elections in Maine, Vermont and
Ohio show that old fashioned Republican
maiorites are to be expected from rural
Districts throughout the North. n!Wis-
cousin was thought doubtful 1t must be
classed as certainfor Hayes in view Of the
maiorities in Northern Ohio. Since the
election in Maine no one doubts about
New Ham pshire. ColoradoThas spoken
for itself. Nevada is a Republican State,
and the chances certainly favor the Re-
publicans in California since the, Jealous
support Of Gov. Hayes by Senator Booth
and the independents whom he represents.
But the situation is not materially
changed If that State and Oregon are
called doubtful. The position is this:

The Democrats, II they secure every
electoral vote from the South, have still
to secure AZ more in order to elect their
candidate. This they can not do without
the IS votes Of New York, so that it re-
mains true, as We stated months ago, that
New York is absolutely necessary to the
Democrats, but not to the Republicans.
Whenever the public credit has been as
sailed, or danger apprehended from the
South, the Republicans have usually
prevailed in each OF th6 Northern States.
The greater the probability that the
South will be united, the greater the
probability that the Democrats may be
beaten, not in New York only, but in
every other doubtful State, and that even
with New York they may lfail. Elec-
tons prior 10 the recent Developments at
the South are therefore not sure indica-
tions Of the result in November. The
Democrats require, not only New York,
but 12 more electoral votes, and even
with New York and Indiana, il they
miss single Southern State they are
beaten. But there is at this time every
reason 10 believe that they will be beaten
in New York. With the aid OF many
thousand Liberals and Independents Mr..
Tilden polled 10000 in 1874, while in
spite OF the opposition of the Liberals
440, 900 votes were polled for President
Grant in 1872. In this contest the entire
Republican strength will be polled; II
will be REINFORCED by thousands Of Liber.
ais of 1872; and it will also be reinforced
By thousands Of Democrats who distrust
the position Of their party with respect
TO the finances and the public honor,
Similar changes will appear in other
Northern States. The Republicans have
only % votes TO gain, even il they are
defeated in every Southern State. In
diana with two other doubtful States, or
New York alone, would give them the
requisite number. They will naturally
concentrate their efforts upon New York,
for their prospects there are excellent,
and victory there is victory everywhere.
But they are not compelled, as the
Democrats are, 10 stake everything upon
single State. II Is quite within the
range OF possibility that, while the DEM
ocrats are straining every nerve TO win
New York, the Republicans may carry
Indiana, California, and either New
Jersey, Connecticut, or single Southern
State

The iron interest is one in which We
have looked earnestly for signs Of i'm.
provement, but they are not yet dis.
cernible, though reductions are taking
place which will make a revival possible,
sometime. We we're told, at the time Of
the fall in coal, that it would make no
difference in the cost Of making iron. But
there is Indifference Of at least 81 ton in
the cost ofproduction Oipig iron now from
whatit was, last spring. Part OF the 70.

miners wages rendered possible, 90 that
