Political Indications,

The greenbackers seem everywhere deter mined to hold fast to their separate organiza- ton. Even Ewing, of Ohio, is not satisfacto- Y to the people who run the third party in that state. No doubt however, that typical soft money man will gain many Greenback votes, and the result in Ohio will go far tow ards settling the financial status of the Dem- ocratic party in 80. If Ewing proves able to hold the hard money Democrats, as we'll as to attract the Greenbackers and occasional soft money Republicans, the nomination of an in- fatiOEist by the Democratic Presidential Con- vention of next year. will be a foregone con- clusiOl. New York, New Jersey, and Con- necticut, would in that case, be abandoned to the Republicans, and the soft money states of the West would be expected to give the Dem- ocratic candidates enough electoral votes, in addition to the ''solid South" to ensure his election In this case g electoral votes would be needed in addition to Indiana's 15. Ohio, California and Oregon, together, foot one short of the required total What a soft money Democratic ticket, therefore, will need to car ryi the Central West, will be at least three states; Ohio. Indiana, and Wisconsin-a diff cult undertaking, no doubt, and one that man. ifestly hinges on the result in Ohio, this fall.
 Should Ewing on the other hand, fail to make any serious impression on the separate Greenback organization, and lose more hard money Democrats than he gaines soft money Republicans, his defeat will settle the question in favor of a hard money Democrat for the next presidential canvass. In that case, the pivotal state will be New York Her B cleo toral votes, added to those of the solid Sodsh and Indiana Cor New Jersey and Connecticut), will make a total of 1S9 three more than a majority. In 1878, however, the Republicans Of New York had 34, 661 plurality over the De- mocTacy. How can this be overcome with an opposing greenback ticket, polling anywhere near the 75, 1000 votes cast by them in '7S?
 Certainly, whichever horn of the financial dilemma they choose, the Democracy have a very difficult road to travel in 1880. It is ev- ident, too, that they have been losing ground in popular estimation since last November. The extra session, which began with such loud threats and is now dwindling towards an i'm potent conclusion, has made their success next fall doubly difficult They have failed to bend the President; they have failed to conciliate the soft money party they have lost much, and we cannot see where they have gained anything. Still, politics are full of surprises. After the disastrous October elections of last year, Republicans seemed to have nothing to expect but decisive defeat in November. Yet the wind chopped short about and the No vember elections went overwhelmingly in their favor. If snch is the possible fuctuation of a single month. what may not be expected from seventeen months?
