The Political Situation.
Is SAID IN wAsHIN

The political excitement as the Indiana elec-
ton draws near is beginning to grow with each
passing day, and next week will be at white
heat. While the democrats exultantly claim
Indiana, the republicans do not concede the
claim, but on tie other hand the latter do
Lot express any buOyant confidence In their
own ability TO carry that state. the democrats
ere much more anxious to put up money on
democratic success than are the republicans on
the success OF their ticker.
At the rooms OF the congressional republican
committee, there Is no disposition to conceie
the democratic claim that Indiana will elec
LanGers. All the advices received from the
state are hopeful, and while far from being
toastfnl, are such as give the republicans
got d fighting chance. A great deal OF ecLdt is
expected to attend the grand demonstration of
the Boys In Blue, to be held in Indian ipoli5 on
Ociober lth and Sth, and at which Gen. Grant
Is TO preside.
A distinguished cemocrat holding a promi-
says that he is confdenS the democrats 10 al lVl VIII,
carry the state; that they have plenty of money
which viii be used effectively few days IN ad.
vance OF the election. He says the republicans
put great deal OF money in the state ana have
wasted II, and now that the real fight IS on are
C1ippled for means.
Lon. s. s. Cox, who is in the city, is confident
OF democratic success. He has 80 doubt buf
that Indiana will go democratic and New York
likewise, and by good majority.
The news received by the democratic congress.
si0hai committee from Ohio Is highly encOurag-
ing. The tenor OF all reports are that ii the
election We're held to morrow the chances are
that the state would 81 democratic. The re-
rublicans, however, have inform ltion that the
state is safe, and that while a majority equal TO
that given Governor Foster may not be rolled
up, IL will be respectable enough for all pur-
ptSeS.
Chairman Mcpherson says that the reports
afloat that the republicans for week past nave
been raising fabulous sums of money are all
tcsh. He says the democrats are raising fiye
collars where the republicans get one.
Should INDIANA be lost. and even Ohio the
republicans The leaders still claim that arlei
VIII be elected by the business vote OF the coun-
uy and the electoral vote CT New York New
Jersey and Connecticut. The democrats meet
this With the statement that If the republican
Eope Is based only on carrying democratic
states 1t is indeed a f0rlorn one.

We answer, two -thirls OF our clti-

ond they have all heard that w. S
Hancock, that ilustrlous son OF
Pennsylvania and the hero of Getys-
burg, and Of Antietam, was nomin
ated by the National Democratic
Convention, at Cincinnati, to be the
next President of the United States.
On the other side, the Democrats are
filled with JOY over the nomination;
they RENE mber that IL is taught in
the sacred Scripturs that the devil
was let loose for short season, md
he was again bound to the bottom ese
pit, and that from the gross frauds
perpetrated by the Republican party,
1t looks to an honest party that this
party (Repubican) is no devil, or
an attribute Of the devil, aud that
the result of the National Demo
cratic Convention at Cincinnati, on
on the 22nd Of June, 1880, means
the bounding" of this party of cor
ruption, to the bottomless rit eter-
nally. 1t is believed bv all Of our
citIzeLs, both Republicans AMI Dem.
ocrats, that Hancock and English
will sweep the country like a lorna
do, and how could it be otherwise
when every honest thinker through
out this entire Democratic land eays
that the ticket is blamelesq.

every direction on the third to ceIe-
