we're Blow TO zsae Democracy
Still Room for Hope.

aSOOAgk AUX
The elections last week were a
great surprise to people in this sec,
ton Of the country. It was ex-
pected that the Republicans would
carry Ohio but there was faint
hope in the minds Of many that
this State would go for the Dem
ocracy. AS to Indiana there seem
ed scarcely to be doubt; that
State was confidently counted on
for an increased Democratic ma
iority. Great was the surprise,
therefore, when the news came that
both States had gone for the Re-
publicans.
At the Ohio October election in
1875 the Democrats elected the Gov
ernor and a majority of TIE Legisla-
ture. But at the Presidential elec-
ton the State went for Hayes by a
majority of nearly 10000. The
Democrats between 1875 and 1878
redistricted the State, and by ger
rymandering" succeeded in electing
in 1878 II Congressman, to the Re-
publicans' 9. When the Republi-
cans carried the State in 1878 they
'sgerrymandered" the State il their
favor and made the Congressional
Districts the same as they were in
1875, when the delegation to Con
gress stood II Republicans to S
Democrats. By the election the
18th the Republicans got Is Con
gresham to the Democrats 5.
Indiana in 1875 went Democratic
and gave Tilden a majority of s.
SIS. In the State election in 1875
the Democratic majority was abont
$4,000. At that election QS79) the
Democrats elected 6 Congressmen,
the Republicans 6, and the Green.
hackers i. In the election the 18th
inst, the Democrats elected 5, and
the Republicans S.
There is no use trying to dis
guise the fact: the Republicans
have gained an overwhelming vic
tory that will give them fresh cour'
age and enthusiasm for the Presi
Dental election in November.
There is a possibility that the
Democrats may carry Indiana in
November, but the probabilities
are against them. But Indiana
| While very desirable, Is not neces
sary to Hancocks election. If the
Democrats carry New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, as they did
in 1875, and the "solid South
Hancock will have a majority. In
the Presidential election Of 1876
Indiana, with her Is electoral votes:
went Democratic, while South Caro-
lima, Florida and Louisiana, with
their 10 votes, went-or was count.
ed-Republican. Reverse that this
year and it gives Hancock a ma
jority, provided there are no other
changes upon the vote of 1875.

For THE HERALD.
Our Washington Letter.
WAsIi1NGToN. p. e.,
Oct. 18th. 1880.

Oct 18th. 1880.
There seems to be no doubt 1T this
writing that Indiana and Ohio have
defeated the Democratic State ticket.
In the Csc of Ohio this was expected.
1n that of Indiana despite questions
as to the advisablity of certain poml-
natinus, it was not expected. There
is no good reason for supposlng that
the result on yesterday is conclusive
as 20 the vote in November. On the
contrary there is reason for believing
that the Democratic ticket next month
is stronger in both States than the
tickets just defeated: and the Repub-
lican ticket is entirely weaker than
those Just elected. All that can be
said Of the present aspect Of affairs is
that Republican prospects, desperate
few days ago, are better now, and
that the Democrats who lately seemed
certain Of victory, have fierce fight
before them. That fight will be
made all through the country, but of
course special attention will be- paid to
Indiana, New Nork, New Jersey,
Connecticut, New Hampshire and
Maine. All, of which must from this
date be considered doubtful. In the
Pacific States there is also a good
chance for a Democratic gain, but
with proper effort further East there
is no need of relying upon California,
Oregon, Nevada, or Colorado.
Every Que will be sorry to hear Of
the serious iiDess of Justice Clifford
Of the United States Supreme Court.
Appointed by President Buchanan in
1857, Mr.. Clifford has performed
cred;table service on the Supreme
bench longer than most cf his asso-
ciatcs. 1t is feared he will not be
able to participate iii the business If
tie Court hereafter.
One Of the sius OF the late election
which should be promptly aad en-
phatical!y condemued is the sending
of government officials into doubtful
States. From Washington, besides
the government clerks 7ho nay be
considered to have gone voluntarily,
there were seat two members of the
police furce, two of the five detectives
whu arc supposed to look out for the
property of Washington people. They
went BY order Of Attorney General
Devens. and participated in the elec-
tlon. Ii they were seut to watch or
detect any particular criminals, the
Attorney General should make the
fact known. If, as is more likely,
they were sent for the purpose Of in
timidatiug voters, that fact should be
known at once. The United States
Government can not legally or properly
interfere for or against any one party
in State election.
All the Governors will this month
receive from this District proposition
that their several States shall unite in
preuoting the interests here Of the
NATIONAL Fair Association: The wish
is to have the agricultural productions
and manufacturing Interests Of every
State represented each year at the
spacious grounds of the Association.
It is believed that in this way, with
out noticeable expense to any State,
greatly increased Interchange Of
products will enure to the benefit of all.

The House of Representatives
stands now 146 Democrats, 139
Republicans. and Is Greenbackers.
The Greenbackers are classed as 7
Democratic, and 9 Republican
making the House; l53 Democrats
to 139 Republicans-a majority OF
Il. The Republicans gained 6
Congressman in the Ohio election
the 18th instant, and 2 in Indiana.
The Democrats will have all they
can do to hold their majority in the
House; and we see how important
it is that South Carolina should
send back a solid Democratic dele
cation.
The Senate stands 42 Democrats,
33 Republicans and l Independent
The Republicans will get 4 Senator
from Indiana in place of Mcdonald,
whose term expires next March ;
another in place OF Herman, of New
York, whose term expires at the
same time; another in place OF
Thurman, of Ohio; another, (very
likely) in place of Wallace, Of Penn
sylvania-4 in all, making their
number 81, with chances in Con-
necticut and New Jersey. The
Democrats will gain in Mississip-
pi, in place of Bruce. The Senate
therefore will be close.
The Republicans are putting
forth every effort to carry every
branch Of the general government,
and so far their success has been
alarming.

To the President and Board Of d.

GENTLEMEN-Your committee on
Information and statistics beg leave to
submit the following report for Sep

sixty-eight correspondents in twenty
eight counties, the average date be.

The weather during September is
reported by forty six as favorable aud
by twenty two as unfavorable to the

might be desired. Twenty-six report
that the plant has retained its squares
and bolls, and. forty-two report uu-
favorably. complaining principally Of
shedding. The proportion Of the crop
that has been picked is estimated b.
five at fourth, by twenty one at
one-th'rd, by thirty-two at pnc-aa!f,
and BY ten at three-iuurths.
AS tv the yield, compared with last
year, seventeen think that the same
@lil be larger, tweuty-six that it will
be the same, and twenty FIVE that it
will be smal!er. The labor is re-
ported by teu to be better than last
year IN numbers and efficiency, by
