morning papers all concede the election of Por-

sweep Of state officers and the legislature by
various majorities, and republican gains OF Con-
gressmen In both Ohio and Indiana. At demo-
cratic headquarters they gracefully yield, and
VIII devote their energies now almost wholly to
carrying New York state. They admit that the
result in Indiana has left that state certain for
Garfield, and are prepared also to give up Con-
necticut and New Jersey. They do claim how
ever, that they can carry New York and Maine,
