the main struggle has been in regard
to members of the House in this falls
elections. 1t has been the aim of the
Democracy to obtain not only a ma
jority in the House but a majority of
the representations of a plurality of
the States. The Democrats need
both these majorities. With a bare
majority they can control Congress
but they will need the votes of a plu-
rality of the State representations to
elect a President if by any chance
the people should fail to do so.
so far the Democrats have secured
majorities in 10 States and the Re.

THE ELECTIONS.

Elections were held last week i'll
Ohio. Indiana, Iowa and Western
Virginia, for fortv-tive congressman.
More than usual interest has been
manifested in abe result of them be-
cause Of its bearing upon the next
presidential election, and as furnish
ing the means of ascertaining the
strength of the National Greeuback
Labor party and estimating its prob
able duration.
In the present House the above
states are represented by so Repub-
licans aud Is Democrats. Of these,
~ Republicans are from Ohio, y
from Indiana, and 9 from Iowa, while
there are tut 8 Democrats from ONO,
4 from Indiana, and 3 from western
Virginia.
In all these states the National
Greenback Labor party made noml-
nations, and in one and some districts
Democrats fused with them.
OHIO.
Although the state ticket tor three
state officers, secretary OF STATE,
iudoe of supreme court, and member
of the board of public works, was
carried bv about 10000 majority, the
Democrats captured IL congressman,
which is an increase of three owe

the election, it did not exceed 23,oo0'

INDIANA.
Besides 13 congressman lndland

There is something preposterous IN
the style in which Republicans talk
of the danger to which national honor
and prosperity will be exposed in be-
ing committed to the custody ofDem-
Gratis. Since, that party is far the
most conservative of the two, n
the credit of the country was safe in
its hands during more years than the
Republicans have been in power.
Take for example the following
from Carl Schurz's Cincinnati speech.
"The proposition that Congress-
by legislation, is to be the authority
to regulate the volume of the curren-
CIV, and consequently its value is as
tonisling. Have you considered my
Democratic friends what an awful
power you propose to perpetuate in
the Congress of the United States.
Why, gentlemen; no assembly OF hui
man beings, ven if you get together
the shrewdest financers in the world,
has ever been found wise enough to
determine how much money the bus
mess of a great country needs in its
multifarious fluctuations"
To say the least of this, the Re-
. publicans have been very long in find
ing out what they assert. We have
heard no suggestion rs of this sort from
them until they were preparing tt
surrender their powers. If there
were any forceit in such an argumen'
would be more appropriate agains'
entrusting the entire government t.
party management. Furnishing sucl
f a country as ours with suitable cur
rency is an important function Of au
thority. but there are many Others
equally so, that no one has ever pro
posed to commit to corporations. IL
fathom the absurdity Of what the Re
publicans advance however it is only
necessary to consider that if all thei
t resumption measures had been con
= summatcd the national banks would
have remained subject to congress
: sional control. Until our constitu
D ton Is changed, and the whole fabri
of government altered there can b
: no method Of taking from the part.
: in power the control of national finan
ces.
There would have been much sens
4 in Mr.. Schurz's argument if it ha'
: been directed wholly against the Ma
tional Greenback Labor Party as one
e that if entrusted with power, pro
claimed while seeking it, that
would not respect the barriers of tn

According TO the Berlin correspondent
Of the Pail Mall Gazette, the German So>

the passageo of the Anti-Socialist bill, that
their followers shall emigrate either to the
United States or Asia Minor. 1t is to be
hoped, if this advice is taken, that the em>
igration of the German Socialists will be
to. Asia Minor rather. than to the United
States. Asia Minor is a very nice country
in some respects. Just at present its affairs
are not being managed very WELL but the

1T is common thing for Americans in
Europe to praise the neatness and dispatch
Of executions By tile guillotine, and to con-
'trast them with tho clumainess and brutal
ity of our haugings. But some recent
performances of the guillotine in Paris
and notably the double execution. of the
murderen Lebiez and Barre, seem to. have
disguised the French people with public
executions in general, and the papers deT
nounce them severely and Justly for their
brutalizing tendencies. The Paris Liberte
says: "No.hiag is more hideou., more
distressing than these human Sacrifices

to be maintained, let the last extremitieS
