New York, Oct. 15.-The following adj
dress was issued to-day by the Republi-
can National Committee:
"NEw YORK. Oct. j.. 1SSO.-To the
Republican voters of the Union: The
elections of Tuesday last clearly show
that with continued zeal and systematic
effort Republican triumph in November
will be complete and over Ginning. Our
plurality in Ohio is about - 600. being Il
gain of 1000 over the exceptionally large
plurality of 1879. while the election of
fifteen of twenty Congressman gives us
gain of six members. Our plurality in
Indiana reaches about 900, being Il gain
$1,000 upon the Democratic plurality of
1873. In the Legislature We have a ma
.iorlty of fourteen, i'll contrast with the
Democratic majority of twenty-six in the
last Legislature. thus gaining 4 United
States Senator. OF thirteen COMPRESSION
al districts nine have been carried, max
ing 4 gain of three members. The re-
suit in each State, and especially in Ohio
is a conclusive answer of the people to
the false and malignant assaults upon the
personal character of our candidate for
President, which have thus far been the
principal weapons Of our opponents. and
/ have been Inherently and Shamc1eSSly re-
peatcd i'll an address this day published
by their stunned and demoraliZed nation
al committee. Both these victories are
the result of a spontaneous and enthusi-
astic uprising of the people i'll favor of
patriotic principles, enlightened legisla-
ton and good government. That in In
diana has been one in spite of the lavish
expenditure of money by the Democratic
candidate for the vice-preSidency, who
was nominated solely for that purpose.

these results that if Republicans relax no

Garfield and Arthur all branches of the
government are likely to be Republican
once more. Republicans, however, need
/ to be reminded of the remaining danger
that the disappointed Democratic leaders
will not shrink from desperate acts to

can he no conflict on its organization. BY
unremlttlny eXertionS, such as have Sc
cured the brilliant achievements in Ohio
and Indiana, the Republican party can
defeat the purposes of the reactionists
who, in order TO gain palitioal power and
/ patronage. are willing to unsettle the
results of the war for the Union, change
the financial and revenue policy of the
government, derange the national cur
rency, and iieopardize the thriving bust
ness interests of the country. Republi-
can success will, on the other hand, firm
ly establish throughout the country a
free and honest ballot, protection to life
and property. well-paid and contented
labor, activity i'll all agricultural, manu-
featuring, mechanical and commercial
pursuits, and Will make the States of our
Union prosperous and powerful beyond
those OF any other nation. BY order Of
! the committee:
Marshall JEW El.i., Chairman.
