has been made, extending to every pre-

TO strengthen confidence aud to give assur-

Practical people are not inclined to throw
away their votes at the Presidential cleo
tion.
Any impulse given by Indiana favorable
to Hancock would be felt in like degree
by the congressional tickets, nearly all of
which are voted on the same day with the
electors, The uncertain voters who float
from side to side have keen instinct for
the majority. They aggregate manV tens
of thousands, and will materially help to
swell the popular vote for Hancock, aud
elect many members of Congress
The present outlook justi6es the belief
that the Democrats will maintain their as
cendaucy in the house of representatives
and that Gen. Hancock will be inaugural
ed with Democratic Congress to carry
out his great measures of retrenchment
reform.
