NO CAUSE FOR DISCOURAGEMENT.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 14.-The Ameri-
can will say Of the election this morning
SIT may be well to look through the smoke
Of Tuesdays battle to see if there is any
thing to discourage the democrats in fur
ther prosecution Of the canvass. We think
not, A party swollen with twenty years of
power, having possession Of all the elective
part of the government leagued with all
the corrupt moncpolies, has been able to
concentrate its entire power II two states,
practically in one. tor Indiana was the bat,
tie ground, That they would not yield
without terrible struggle and the use of
all the means known to them and possible
was certain. In November they will have
to diffuse their labors over the entire field,
while the democrats have only to devote

THE QUESTION STILL OPEN.
The Courier-J Journal, speaking of the re-
suit of the elections in Indiana and Ohio
says; Precisely as the gain Of Maine does
not seem to have helped the democrats in
the west may the gain of Indiana fail to
help the republicans in the east More
over the history Of politics like that of arms
shows many instances of battle losses in de-
tail, which have been more than recovered
in the final engagement In our sectional
conflict the confederates won more isolated
victories than the federals. II was when
the resources OF the combatants were
stretched to their fullest tension and the
combat deepened into fierce and final
struggle all along the line that force against
force prevailed and numbers proved deci-
sve. The democratic party holds num-
erical majority in this country, in Ohio and
Indiana. 1t has simply exhibited itself
unable to cope with the massed material
which the republicans we're able to put in
the field. In November the republicans
will have to contest for twenty instead Of
two states. Thus spread out 1t remains to
be seen whether they can hold their own.
Our hope is that they cannot; our opinion is
that the question is sufficiently open to
justify thoughtful men in renewed exertion
and to make ii crime in those charged
with the campaign to relax a single nerve. y

Virginia are coming in slowly. The indica-
