Indiana than IS English
WHEN the solid south gets the returns,
the rebel yell will be silenced.
THE patriotic instincts of this country
may be trusted when duty calls.
Mn. ENGLISH may think about presenting
those libel suits he has threatened.
WHAT magnificent reply to the ISLANDERS
of the malignant Democratic papers.
DIsBAND your rife clubs. Disband your

Republican majority was 6,636, and the
Democratic majority in Indiana 5,OSi.
GENERAL GARFIELD once said In the
hour of triumph let us be merciful, for it
costs nothing but little good nature
The Republicans will carry every nor
thern and some of the southern states. Have
you heard the news, Mr.. Wade Hampton
MARTIN LYNCH of New York city, who
lost all his savings in betting on the In
diana election, cut his throat and died
BLAINE said the Vermont election lost us
Maine, and the Maine election would save
us Ohio and Indiana. Perhaps he was right.
Prominent Democrats are trying to force
English off the ticket, but he proposes to
stick. He is the most unpopular and UNI
happy man in Indiana.

the greatest consideration, for they held the
balance of power in the struggle.
CINCINNATI Gazette: The result insures
forty thousand Republican majority in
Ohio in November. This is Ohio's answer

charge the national committee with neglect
ing the state too long, and growl at English
because he did not tap his barrel soon
enough.
The result of the West Virginia election
was no less Republican victory than that
of Indiana. Although the state was not
carried, the Democratic majority was largely
reduced.
CINCINNATI Commercial " The result of
this election will be certain Republican
victory in November, probably Republican
control in congress, and final breaking up
of the solid south"
Mr.. ENGLISH lost lightweight votes in
his own ward and Mr.. Landers ninety-nine

all day, hard at work. Judge Porter gained
ninety-four in his ward.
GovERNoRELEcr PORTER, in accounting
for the result in Indiana, says General
Grants Warren, Ohio, speech had an aston
ishing effect. The people have a profound
respect for anything that Grant says"
New YORK Sun: "The Indiana result is
great surprise to the Democrats, and as
great blow as the Maine election was to
the Republicans. 1t turns the probabilities
of the case in favor of the election of Gar
field"
ONE effect of the victory is the advance
in stocks. They went up with bounce.
Business men are rejoicing. There is no
doubt that New York city business men,
without regard to party, are aiding the cleo
ton of Garfield
THE change in the majorities in Indiana,
considering it is the state of one of the
Democratic candidates and the herculean
efforts put forth by them, is phenomenal
The Democratic plurality at the last cleo
ton was about $4,000. The Republican
plurality now is not less than 5000,
