Democratic success was menace to the indus-

similar story, suppiemerting it all by the ille-

The Avalanche says: 1.-THE Indiana election
was revolution. A change of 10000 votes to
the Republican party, within two years, in SO
closely contested State, is significant of the
final overthrow of the Democratic party. This
revolution not only means the defeat of Han
cook in November, but it means
the disbandment of the Democratic
organization, to be followed by the disruption
OF the Republican party and reconstruction of
parties on new issues. The disintegration of
the Southern wing of the Southern party is
now far advanced. In nearly every Southern
State, with q reasonable certainty of electing
Hancock, the Southern Democrats would stick
to the national ticket and cast 1873 electoral
votes Tor the Democratic candidate, but tho
unexpected, overwhelming disaster in Indiana
will paralize the Southern Democrats, and the
l3o Southern electoral votes will not now be
counted as sure for Hancock. The change of
opinion developed by the result of Tuesday s
election has fairly stunned the Southern Dem
ocrats. They see in that result-a solid North
Tor GARFIELD. The Indiana verdict demands
that the political solid South shalt be the first
to disband."
MISSOURI.
ST.. LOUIS, Oct 13.-Tho Republican to-
morrow under the caption "Ths Duty of Demo.
Gratis, will comment on the election as follows:
THE Democrats have lost Ohio, which they
didn't expect to win, and they have lost
Indiana which they did expect to win This
IS tne SITUATION, Its worst phase; what shall the
losers do about it? We say EN- phatically imi-
tate the example of the winners, The Repub-
licans were.far more sure of carrying Maine than
| the Democrats of carrying Indiana, and thew
failed to carry Maine. Did they sit down,
fold their arms and give up the ship? On the
contrary, they then for the first time in this
campaign got up and went to work in earnest.
Is was absolutely necessary that they should
retrieve an unexpected and almost fatal dis
aster, and they have retrieved it. They are to-
day where they were before Maine was
snatched from them. The Democrats have re
ceived heavy blow, but no heavier than the
one the Repu bicans received. It now remains to
be seen whether they will bear it as well and
improveit as wisely. Democrats are not m ade
OF the stuff that surrender easy. If they were
the party would have been dead and buried
nineteen years ago. They have indomitable
pluck and pertinacity and now is the time to
give those qualities practical expression. In
stead of being discouraged and demoralzed
by an unexpected reverse, they should be and
will be nerved thereby to greater effort.
Again we say to Democrats, do as the Republi-
cans did after Maine; and if they follow this
advice, letting the past GO for what il is worth
