THE decisive Republican victory 10
the new State Of Colorado, on Tues

tion in several points of view, but
particularly on account Of its merited

publicans carried that State by G
majority Of S3S for Governor, and

tai vote of 21,47O. Notwithstanding
this fact, Judge Bedford, the Repub.
lican Congressman was elected from
his seat, and it was given s. Demo.

Democratic members. To that ras.
cally transaction the reply Of the PEG.

STATE elections are held 10 dAy
Tuesday in Ohio, Indiana and Iowa.
In 1874 Ohio went Democratic by
seventeen thousand majority. In
1876 Hoyes, for President, carried it
by seven thousand four hundred, and
last year the Democrats again carried
it by twenty two thousand five hun
dred. This year both parties claim
the State by small majorities, but
there as elsewhere, the unknown
amount of the ~greenbaek vote, rem
ders the result uncertain. The prin-
cipal interest however is felt in the
Congressional delegation. Ohio has
twenty members Of Congress, Of
whom, at present twelve are Repub-
licans, and eight are Democrats. Bat
the last Legislature. which was DEM
o%crstic, reapportioned the State, and
so gerrymapdered it. as to make a
large majority Of the districts Demo
cratic. The fraud on the people is
50 transparent however, that thous-
ands Of voters have become disgusted
and the Democrats may not resp any
large benefit from it.
In Indiana there has been q sharp
contest, and the result viii largely
depend upon The amount Of tie
Greenbsck vote, and which side it is
mostly drawn from. The result is
mainly Of interest because Of the
election of q L. S. Senator, to Gil the
chair of Senator Morton, now tenn
porarily occupied by Dan Voorhees,.
Any result in this State will not sur
prise us, after its election Of blue
jeans WiIliams.n
The Democrats and Greenbackers
have struck haLds il Iowa and made
a joint ticket but we feel no alarm
about our friends there holding their
own.

II win be remembered that at the
time this sweet m,orceau was pub.
lished, net only the credit, bot The
very life Of the Nation depended on
sustaining its financial ability. AS
The RHYMES reei;e, Meade was on the
RapidaD, Gilmore at Charleston, But.
Ter at Norfolk, Burnside at Knoxville,
Dshlgren at Sumpter, and Grant at
Chattanooga. Money had to be pro.
cured TO sustain their forces. Green
backs were the nations only resource,
and Mr.. Valentine Hay, then the ed
itor Of the Democrat, now popularity
known as "the l~ong-tongued green
back orator Of Somerset county" was
gleefully ridieuling Greenbaeks as
trash and chuekling over the fact
that geld was at "ffty three"-or in
ether words s greenback dollar was
worth about sixiy-fve cents. Now
that q g~reenbeck dollar is worth
n~inety-nine and cne-half cents, the
patriotic Mr.. Hay is clamoring for
such an additional issue Of them as
would inevitably reduce their value
again TO sixly-fve cents.
It is one Of the revenges Of time,
that this cid document should thus
expose one CT the greenback dema-
gogues Of to-day, as the disloyal cop
perhead Of 1854.
