PRESS COMMENTS.
New York, 13.-Tfmes: II is
tolerably obvious that there is 10
democratic tidal wave thi, year. The
careful reader OF to days dispatches
will be able to satisfy himself whether
there is any tidal wave at al. and If
so, in what direction it is setting.
An abnormally large majority in
Ohio and 8 probable republican
plurality in Indiana are calculated to
give the republicans in this state new
confidence in victory. The republic
can party propose to carry New
York, whether the majority against
them in this city and in Brooklyn be
65, GOO or $4,000 and the elections OF
yesterday certainly give them assur-
ancs that the party vote in these
cities will be 20 per cent. greater than
any vote which has ever been cast in
presidential year. Yesterdays
election makes it more certain that
the tao democratic factions in this
city, both OF which have been wait
ing for q chance to assert their indie
penjenoe, will find = new reason to
fight over the municipal spoils which
are attsinAble, rather than agree on
the expectation Of federal patronage,
which ia more than ever beyCnd their
reach.
The San: It is probable that the
Garfield party has carried Gar6eld's
OWE states. The figures from Indiana
up to this moment are not such as to
enable Us to give an assured or de-
tailed result of the election in that
state, bnt the first of the returns TO
reach US are from the larger repub-
lican cities, while the vote Of counties
in which the heayieet democratic
majorities were expected is not yet
turned in. The Sun asks: "Can
Hancock carry New York;"
The World: There seems no reason
to doubt that the republicans have
carried the republican state Of OHIO,
although upon the candidate who
heads their ticket the democrats have
made very considerable gains upon
the vote of 1874. Indiana, however,
is a doubtful state, and the contest
there is always close. The total vote
this year, if We can inter anything
whatever from the returns received,
has been more than 100000. The
result will not apparently vary much
from that of 1876. 1t is to be noted,
however, that The straight democratic
counties Of the interior are still to be
heard from, and it is entirely within
the possibilities that these countries
may not only neutralize, but 60 far
overcome the reported republican
gains as to swell Lander's mAjority 10
figures much greater than those
reached by Williams in 1876, although
Landers has unquestionably run be-
hind his ticket, since he is enough of
a greenbscker to disatfect many hard
money democrats, without being
enough of q greenbscker to attract
any considerable following from
among the soft money men.
q Tribune: The verdict demonstrates
that it is in the power OF the republic
can party to elect its ticket. We
should have been satisfied with
majority of 1000 in Ohio,
and with keeping down to 5000 that
of the democrats in Indiana, instead
of which We have swept Ohio by
variously estimated at from
Is, 900 to 10000, and have probably
carried Indiana by small plurality,
while We have also made upquestion-
able gains in West Virginis.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Chicago, 13.-InteT- Ocean's Wash
ngton: The Post, democratic, con-
sedes the election OF Garfield if its
previous editorial ultetances msan
for it haE distinctly declared
OF two weeks that il both Ohio and
Indiana went republican they would
i've up the fight. John g. Thomp-
on, early in the campaign, made the
anne declaration.
Secretary Schurz expects from six |
o ten republican majority in the next |
House. Postmaster General Msynsrd

The magnitude of the victory OF |
yesterday is fully appreciated here,

lection.
Chairman Hubbell now considers
Virginia, North Carolina and Florida
and attributes the result to
ear of democratic ascsndancy and its
fleet on business. Garfield, he said.
would get 10000 more votes in Ohio
han the republican msjority at this
lection. He is confident OF New
York, Maine, Connecticut and
few Jersey. He does not
elieve there is man who
the political develop
aents of the last two weeks, who
oes not feel that the country is
republican. The republic
ans must, however, keep right on
aiming congressman and rolling up
lajoriTies. Not the least pleasing
ssult OF the computation on the effect
the Indiana election, at republican
esdqaarters, is the prospective
