10 the republican voters of the union;
The elections of Tuesday last clearly
shows that with continued zeal and sys-
tematic efforts the republican triumph
in November will be complete and over
whelming.
Our plurality in Ohio is about $4,000,
being gain of 5000 over the exception
ally.large plurality of 1879, while the elcc-
ton OF fifteen Of twenty congressman
gives us a gain OF six members.
Ourplurality in Indiana reaches about
1910, being gain of q 900 on the DEM
ocratic plurality in 1875 In the legisla-
ture we have majority of ID, in contrast
with democratic majority Of 26 in the
last Legislature, thus gaining United
States senator. Of thirteen congressiol-
al districts, nine have been carried, max
ing gain OF three members.
The result of each state, and especial
ly in Ohio. is the conclusive answer of
the people to the false and malignant
assault upon the personal character of
our candidate for president, which have
thus far been the principal weapons of
our opponents, and have been indecent
~ and shamelessly repeated in an ad-
dress this day published by their stun
ned and demoraliZed national commit
tee. Both these victories are the result
OF the spontaneous and enthusiastic up
rising OF the people in favor of patriotic
principles, enlightened legislation, and
good government: that in Indiana has
been won in spite of the expenditure
OF money by the democratic candidate for
the vice presidency, who was nominated
solely for that purpose, and by eastern
emissaries, who in 1870 vainly attempted
to purchase the presidency, and have re-

full results is reasonably certain. The
SIX senators necessary to make the SEN
ate, with the vice president, republican,
will probably be secured from the states
OF Ohio and Indiana (already gained),
and from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and
Connecticut, yet to elect. Thus with the
Inauguration of Garfield and Arthur all
the branches of the government are like
ly to be republican once more. Repubi-
cans, however, need to be reminded
of remaining danger. Disappointed
democratic leaders will not shrink from
desperate acts to prevent full republican
success. They have majolities in both
houses of congress. claim full power over
the final presidential count, and have
steadily refused to secure the peaceable
and orderly decision of q doubtful result.
Let no possible effort be spared to make
the republican majority in the electoral
vote 80 large as to avert the perils of a
disputed count, and the majority in the
next house of Representatives so decisive

such as have secured the brilliant
