raE ELECTIONS TOMORROW.

HE IsfDuDilCdI5 Oh'O
ber,ls76. BY 5000 againstth the Democrats,
and las. year they again carried 1t IN
October by 1900. In 1876 the Demo-
Gratis carried In Llama by 5000 against
the Republicans, and srain at the last
election, 1878, by over 1900. In pro-
portion TO the whole vote cast IN each
State, the Republican majority IN ONO
in 1876 and 1879 were just about the
same as the Democratic maiori,ies in In
diana in 1876 and 1873.
The Republicans are, therefore, en-
titled to Ohio, and the Democrats TO
Indiana, in the elections tomorrow. II
the Democrats should lose Indiana, 1t is
a defeat by whatev,r means 1t may be
accomplished, and will tell on the cam
paign for the Presidency. Sol the Re
publicans lose Ohio, it is not only ads-
feat OF their State ticket, bat buries all
hone for their National ticket Ii VII!
be a Waterloo that viii end the pros.
poets OF the party for lSS), ii not for all
time.
IfGARrIELD cannot carry his own
Sta,e-a State which gave l7,C0O Repub-
lican majority one year ago; and a State
which never fails the Republican party
in a Presidetial campaign; he might
as we'll hang up his fiddle.
The Democracy cannot r'asonab y
count on more Il an reducing the Re
publican majority in OHIO tbs year.
Many believe We will do more, but it is
quite enough TO do t, at. II W. 10 that
and carry Indiana we shall carry both OF
them for HASCoCK. Considering the
amount Of effort the Republican party
has concentrated on carryIn. Indiana
with the enormous fund il has appropri-
ated for that purpose, and that they
have staked everything on the result IN
that State: the Democracy can vel al
ford TO come out OF the battle with
their ticket elected by a re !uced mJlor-
itv. We are prepared for any result In
Indiana. We believe the Domocracy
will carry it, AMI shall be disappointed
if thty cont, Iut at the sane tune we
do not regard it as OF so mu'h import
ance to the Democrats as t. the RHpui-
leans. We can ,os, it tomorrow and
win in November, ut the Republicans
cannot.
As for our wn State, there is no dit
ference of opin on, except it be upon
the s.z. o, the Democratic majority. We
are satisfied that il will be sufficiently
large on the State ticket for all practical
purposes. We shall also elect three
Congressman by increased majoritles in
every district. Col. WILSON will have
an increased majority in the FIRST dis
trict; so also will Mr.. KESSA in the
Third; and Judge HoGE will probably &"
in with a majority in excess OF that
usually given for the Democratic candi'
date in the Second district.
EVERY Democrat should hov, his en-
thusiasm and conscience quicken 10y
the thought that his vote has Il N"'"'
al as well as a STATE and local intl lence
at this election. lie is not voting for
the benefit OF this county and State
alone, but OF all the States, and being a
Democrat he will 1--WE his vot, to
strengthen the unit IN rrcsP rty OF
the whole country. THIS S a year when
it is Il privilege to be n Democrat. The
principals OF the party are no mere al
s,ractions; hut ,r' rypreseutei on the
county and State tickets as well as on
the National ticket, Icy m'n who, II
elected, will make them livin- forces.
The result OF the election in this
county VIII he tele"raphed abroad either
as a Democratic victory or as Il Repub'
lican gain; and whichever it is it will
have IN influence on tn November
election in Other AM Closer States.
