THE NEXT CONGRESS

Globe Democrat: The results of the
Indiana and Ohio elections make it GER
tain that the Republicans will have con-
troll of both the senate and house in the
FoTty-seventh congress. At present the
senate contains thirty-three Republicans,
forty-two Democrats and one Independ-
ent. The terms of twenty-five senators
will expire March 4, 1881. OF the out
going senators fourteen are Democrats
and eleven Republicans. They will be
succeeded by sixteen Republicans and
nine Democrats, thus making the next
senate stand thirtY-eight Republicans to
thirty-seven Democrats and one indie
pendent. Changes from the Democratic
to the Republican side viii be made in
Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio and Pennsylvania; from the
Republican to the Democratic side in
Mississippi. The only close state in
which the Republicans had cause to fear
the loss of. the legislature was Indiana,
but the returns indicate that there will
be an ample Republican majority on
joint ballot in the Legislature of
that state, and it may be accept
ed as a settled fact that Mr. Nc
Donald will be succeeded by Republi-
can-thus placing the Democrats in a
minority in the senate. Even should
Senator David Davis attach himself per-
manently to the Democratic side of that
body, the Republicans would still have
control, for Mr.. Chester A Arthur will
be president of the senate and will have
the casting vote whenever the Senate is
evenly divided. The gain of five, and
probably six congressman in Ohio, three
in Indiana and one in Oregon, with the
implied assurance that similar gains
will be made In all points of the north
in November, not only wipes out the
present Democratic majority in the
house, but proves beyond the possibility
of doubt that the Republicans will have
q handsome majority in that body in the
next congress. In the present house
there are 100 Republicans, $40 Demo
ocrats and IA Greenbackers.. The
changes already reported raise the Re
publican side To 40 Gains that are Ger
tain to be made in New York, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and other
states will swell these figures above $50.
With a Republican president and a Re
publican congress, the safety of the coun-
try will be assured after March 4, 1881.

THE REBEL RoUr.


Tie returns from Ohio and Indiana
are now sufficiently accurate To fully de
permine the result in those states, and to
show that they have been swept by the
tempest invoked by the solid south,
which swings the pine against the palm.
The infamous calumnies hurled at Gen
eral Garfield by Democratic journals and
stump orators have been overwhelming
~ refuted by the magnificent endorse
ment which he has received in his own
state, which scores q Republican MAORI
ty of at least 10000, and makes gam
of five on the congressional repre-
sensation of two years ago. In his own
district, the men who know him best,
and who are familiar with the singular
purity of his life, repudiate the vile
ISLANDERS conceived in Democratic malice
against one of the grandest SONS of the
American Republic, by giving the Re
publican candidate for congress larger
majority than has eyer been received by
any OF his predecessors The detection
in the German vote, which was claimed
by the Democrats, has resolved itself in
to thin air, aud the old Buckeye state,
which has never failed the country in
her time of need, comes up to the help
of the Lord against the mighty and puts
herself ON record as for the blue against
the gray.
In Indiana. the surprise was more
complete, and never, perhaps, were the
hopes of the Democracy OF the Gears of
the Republicans more thoroughly dissi-
pated than when the intelligence be-
came general of the political revolution
in that state, where the Democrats con-
cede the election of Porter, and the Re-
publicans claim majority IN the legis-
lature and gain of two congressman.
The nnmistakable drift of the loyal ser
timent of the country US indicated by
the result in these two important states,
virtually settles the presidential question,
and. by the concession of the ablest
Democratic leaders, renders the election
of General Garfield in November, a fore
gone conclusion. With the impetus
which the Republican victory in Indi-
ana and Ohio will impart to New York,
that state can now be safely taken from
the doubtful list and transferred to the
Republican column, and 1t is only ration
al to assume that the tidal wave which
set in on Tuesday will sweep the country
on the second day of November. The
Brigadiers are on the run, and the stam-
pede will become general when the solid
north records her verdict against the
spirit of rebellion which has become
rampant in the solid south.
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1880-10-22

The New York Herald, an independ-
ent journal with Democratic leanings,
comments thus upon the first news from
Ohio and Indiana:
If it shall turn out that they have lost
Indiana as well as Ohio, the general,
and we believe correct, impression will
be that this substantially decides the
presidential contest, and makes General
Garfield the next president The party
which carries the October states usually
increases its majority in November, and
the Democratic disappointment in Ohio
and Indiana will shake their whole line
and cause desertions of their allies every
where. In 1876 the Republicans carried
Ohio in October by STA majority and
in November by 1907. The Democrats
| carried Indiana in October by ), 1S9 anC
in November by $685.. Yesterdays re
suit is surprise to the managers of botI
parties, for while the Democrats hav,
within the past week been very conf
dent, claiming Indiana by from 1000
to 10000, with possibility of caTryins
Ohio also, the Republican manager
gave up Indiana for lost and were ex
tremeIy uneasy about Ohio.

PRESS COMMENTS ON THE OC-
TORER ELECTIONS

Chicago Times: 1t begins to look as
though the white house would be No.
329 next year.
Atchison Champion: The victory is
won, now and for November 1t was
not so much Porter and Landers in In
diana, as it was Garfield and Hancock
Where one word was said for the state
ten were uttered for the national ticket.
Both parties so understood it before the
election; and all intelligent men so I'M
derstand it now.
Chicago Evening News; The strug-
gle will go on, of course. But the Dem
ocrats have no reasonable ground now
for expecting to carry either Connecti-
cut or Indiana in November, and one of
these states is necessary to Hancock IS
| election. New York becomes the battle
ground. But with the practical defeat
in Indiana and Ohio, New York be-
comes more than doubtful to the Democ-
racy.
New York Tribune: Tuesday settled
the presidential campaign. Nothing
but over-confidence and impossible neg
ligence can now prevent the election of
James y. Garfield. The contest is not
ended, and the work that remains is as
hard and exacting as any that has vet
been done. The country wants NO
change; least of all does it want the
change proposed. Thirty-five millions
are not going to lay down their power
and invite fifteen millions to rule over
them. The solid south is met by the
solid north, and the party that saved the
nation Will continue to rule it.
Chicago Tribune: The country has
again expressed its confidence in the
wisdom, patriotism, and sound policy OF
the Republican party. 1t has rejected
all the inducements held out to il under
the form of state rights; it has again af.
firmed, and under circumstances whose
emphasis cannot be mistaken, in favor
of preserving American nationality and
of transmitting it unimpaired to future
generations. Let US repeat that the
friends of national union and of civil
liberty the world over owe an everlast
ing debt of gratitude to the men of In
diana and Ohio for this great victory
