Ohio and Indiana.

Ohio md Ino1ono.
All eyes are now turned In the direction Of
bio and Indiana The Cincinnati Cbn,nser-
ciai lind. rep.) has an elaborate review Of
the probable result OF the election In Ohio
Tomorrow, and arrives At the conclusion
that the republicans will carry the state by
as large . majority as they had In 1872,
which was Il. 14T. It comedies that the dem :.
ocrats will make gains In all, or most Of the
twelve counties In which the republican
gained last fall, but In the other seventy-six
ounties In which Allen made gains, IL is
positive that the republicans will recover
all they lost and more too. The Commercial
says:
Gan intelligent study OF the position OF
OnlO must be based upon the clear under
standing Of the fact that the real issue in the
state last year was the good money ana
the more money issue, and that the lines OF
both parties were badly broken. SO many
republicans voted for Allen that ne would
have been elected III thousands OF democrats

were led away by the inimita6le department
OF Allen as the fstherly friend Of the people,
and the lachrymose elOquence Of Cary in
his role OF the Prophet Jeramiah, have
almost unanimously restored themselves TO
their old ranks. 1t IL plain that this would
be the powerful natural tendency. It IL GER
state Is to this effect.n
Going over the nsld by counties, the Com
Siercidi indicates where republican losses

covered, and SO will the 473 In Belmont, the

the s43 In Lawrence, the S3i In Manoning, the
360 In Meigs, the $50 In Mercer, the 6lS In
Trumbull, the 40 In Washington, the SIS In
Warren, and 30 on TO the end of the list.
These losses represent the number OF repub-
licans who voted last fall for "Allen and
more greenbacks." Not . mau OF the whole
20 $50 who so voted IL now supporting Tilden.
Says the Commercial:
"Warren county Is Q sample of those re.
publican strongholds In which Allen made
gains. The county has been carefully polled,

y1lle-there Is q list OF twenty two voters
who were for Allen last fall, and who are re-
publican this fail. The figures tell the story.
Ohio will hold the fort oy q large majority"
The Ohio correspondent OF the New York
Times writes from Cleveland, OctoberT:
There has been TO day great deal of
comparison OF views and exchange of in

changes OF opinion strengthen the common

those best Informed there Is q feeling OF
extreme hopefulDess and assurance of vic
tory. The democrats In private have q good

attempt or that attempt succeeds, they say,

circle that have inside Information; but In
That circle doubt certainly exists. They
Know by Oft repeated experience that too
much confidence would be absurd. But 1t
may De said OF democrats generally that
they appear very confident OF electing their
state ticket
"To all outward appearances Ohio seems
As sure OF republican majority on Tuesday
as IL seemed the Saturday before election
when Gov. Brough was chosen by 100 900
msJority. Of course, q large majority can
not be counted upon now, for Ohio is, in the

The Information received In Washington
from the most reliable sources sustains the
republican expectation of carrying OHIO to-
morrow BY . fair majority.
Concerning Indiana there II Q curious de-
gree OF uncertainty on both sides, and

This comes, doubtless, from the Impractical
bility OF estimating the strength Of the green
back vote. and the relative losses each party
will sustain from 1t. 1t IL q problem, too,
just how much importance Is TO be attached
70 the withdrawal OF Mr.. Wolcott, the green
back candidate for governor, and the an
nouncement OF his Intention to support the
republican candidate for governor. Alto

Indiana In normally much nearer being Q
democratic state than Ohio, and unles II In
carried by the democrats tomorrow by q
pretty good majority they will not have
much cause for citation or the republicans
for depression.
