GARF1ELD's ELECTION CERTAIN.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 14th.-Last nj ght's dis
patches more than confirm the results as
shown by the previous reports in Indi-
ana. The democracy has sustained an
overwhelming defeat, and even its most
sangu:ne adherents no longer express
any hope. Landers admits his own de
feat by 5000 majority, but the republl-
can estimate of Porter's majority is from
1000 to 10000. The republicans have
undoubtedly elected congressman in the
first, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth,
eleventh and thirteenth districts, and
probably in the twelfth also, and the leg
islature has working republican major
ity enough to secure repub lican sue
cessor to Mcdonald in the United States
senate. Two prominent democrats are
said to be urging the ....-.
WITHDRAWAL OF ENGLISH
from the ticket. and it is said that all the
prominent democratic newspapers will
come out shortly, simultaneously de-
&manding it.
In Ohio the republicans hold the ma
jority of yesterday intact, and have cleo
ted fifteen out OF twenty congressman,
gain of six. These gains and those in
Indiana seem to indicate that the next
congress will have from fifteen to twenty
republican majority, and alse renders
the senate less likely to be democratic.
In Garheld's own district, where spec
ial effort was made to lower the republi-
can majority, the republican gain is 1903
over FCster's vote. Gen. Garfield takes
the news very quietly. Independent and
republican papers unanimously declare
that the result of these elections assure
Garfield's election in November, while
the democratic northern press IS uncOm-
mun1cative and the southern press yet
hopeful. ~

Sr PAUL, Oct 15th.-Later returns
from Indiana and Ohio do not materially
alter the result as heretofore telegraphed
Returns from eighty-fve counties give d
net republican majority on the state tick
ct of $500. The counties yet to hear from
are Han cock, Noble, Posey, Upton and
Union, all democratic except Union
county. In 1876 these counties gave a
net democratic majority of 1868, which.
if unchange on Tuesday. leaves q repub-
lican majority Of 5,235. The contest in
the fifth district is yory close, and it may
need the
OFFICIAL COUNT TO DECIDE
it, The repu ublicans claim it by small
majority, which would give the republi-
cans nine copgressmen and the democrats
four. The present representation
is six democrats, six republicans and one
national. The legislature probably
stands: Senate, twenty-five republicans
and twenty-five democrats. House, fifty
seven republicans and torty-three demo
Gratis Among many reasons assigned by
prominent democrats for the result is
that Ignatius Donnelly was one OF the
democratic speakers in the campaign.
Eighty-seven cut Of eighty eight counties
heard from in Ohio, give metropolitan
majority of1S,804 on Secretary Of State.
The balance Of the ticke: has over 20, 900
majority. A great jollification meeting
will be held at Columbus, Ohio, to-mor-
row night. The result has caused the
national democratic committee to be
summoned for conference. P. II. Kelly
af this city was summoned in hot haste,
and left for New York last night, accom-.
panied as far as Chicago by Hall Of the
Globe, who is supposed to be looking
for
MARKET FOR HIS BOOSTERS.
The press continues 10 thlhk
that the result settles the November cleo
ton, though the democrats and southern
papers are hopeful. The democratic ma
lional committee have issued an address
which, after reiterating the old cry Of
fraud and intimidation in 1876, and
claiming some gains for Ohio and lndi-
ana this year, urges every man to work
