TO.lIOrrON's Elections.

For some reason not explained the repub,!.
cans to-day are more jubilant than they have
been for a fortnight. They not only believe
that Ohio is going TO roll up and old-fashioned
republican majority but believe, too, that Indi-
ana viii record verdict in favor of the republ,.
can party to morrow. Bets which up to within
twenty four hours ago of odds on democratic
success and which could find no takers are not
now SO profuse. and several bets were made
even to-day that Porter would be elected gov
ernOr OF Indiana. The stock gamblers gener-
ally have keen scent Of POLITICAL probabilities.
tionS Of to-day are somewhat significant
The market Is strong and all the leading stocks
ale held f1rm. Republicans say thisis an auglry
. of republican success, Tor were the market 8off"
it would indicate contrary result.
Despite the confidence which, at the eleventh
hour, the republicans are assuming, the demo-
Gratis still continue to claim confidently that In
diana is all right Much OF their faith Is based
upon the assurance made by Chairman Bar
mum, OF the national committee, who is quoted
as having said that it is impossible for the dem
Gratis TO lose Indiana. This assertion however
was made before IL became known that the
republicans had made such ample arrange
ments to contest every inch of ground. Itis Tor
this same reason, too, probably, that the re-
publicanS now have considerable hope of car
rJ ing the state. Cool-headed politicians, how
ever, see no reason to suppose that the demo-
Gratis viii lose Indiana. The killing OF the
democratic sheriff at shelbyvllle. on Saturday
it is not thought will help the republican can
vass. SEelbyville is the old home of GOV.
speech in that county seat On the night pre-
cediEg the election, the probability is that at
to-n1ght's meeting in that place he viii not
neglect to allude to and make political capital
out OF the tragedy. The democrats who ac-
tually believe they will succeed In Ohio are few
and far between.
A dispatch received In this city from a promt.
nent Cincinnati democrat last night did not
of1er any encouragement for democratic success.
John e. Thompson Is claiming the state, but it
is one Of his peculiar methods of tactics to
trighten the opposition. 1hc republicans do not
feel at all alarmed but that Ohio Is firmly
1iyetted IL the republican column. There is b1tt
little Interest felt In the West Va election. The
democrats feel sure that the result will be ali
right, and no republican Is Sanguine enough to
dispute the claim. Word comes from Ohio that
the Associated Press In Its election dispatches
will make its comparison OF the vote with the
election CT Gov. Foster in 1879, when he defeat
ed Gen: Ewing and carried the state by a
plurality CT l eco. In Indiana the comparison
OF the vote Will be with the election of 1876,

Would be Injurious to Business
At Least for AwhiIe-NO Refer-
cncc to the Fowler Talk.
Especial Dispatch to The St0r.1
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Your correspondent
called on Gen. Grant at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
this morning and had pleasant chat on per-
sonal and general topics. The genera! did not
refer to the Fowler interview. but spoke with
evident pleasure of going to Washington. He
said that he would 60 to Boston after The pa
rade here and return In a few days to remain Ia
New York and in Washington all winter He
Will make the Fifth Avenue Hotel his home for
the present. He has not yet decided when to go
to Washington, but when he goes he Will stay
some weeks. The following was part of the
conversation: COrreSpondent-"It' known that
you favor the election OF Gen. Garfield. What
do you think would be the result Of his elec-
tiOn upon the business community" Ans.-"I
believe that our people are prosperous now. No
thing could say would make my opinion better
known than the fact that our people are doing
well. / believe that If Gen. Garfield is elected
our present prosperity viii continue without
interruption, and that we Will advance in every
branch OF industry. l believe that il Gen. Gar
field is not elected all the good results Of a
long-matured and now successful busi-
ness will be Immediately checked Que5-
tiOn--"Iou believe, then, that business would
suffer by change in administrations" Ans
Il believe most nrmly that If Gen. Garfield be
not elected the change would result in a sus-
pension OF business. HOW long that suspen-
sion would last l cannot say, but it would last
until a new administration differing In the
policy from the present would act. Business
people know what to expect from continue
ton OF the policy Of the present administration.
They would not know what to expect from a
new one that involved a change of politics.
They would be nervous from the time OF the
election, and business affairs would be unset
tied for a long time. There would be suspic-
ion connected with change that would work
great inJury-the suspicion that change OF
policy might involve losses in some way not
exactly understood. 1t would not destroy, but
it would rather cripple some branches Of bust
ness and retard Others"

the English proposals in regard to the eastern

conflict Which might open up the whole eastern

ton as completely changed, and are resolved TO
