Whenever the October States have been
carried decisiyely by one party, that party
has chosen the President in November.
There is no exception to this rule. More
than this: since the Republican party was
founded no important October State has
reversed It's verdict in November. The
Democratic pretense to the contrary is not
supported by facts, as a careful reference
to the election returns will show. In DC.

msjorities, while Fremont held Ohio by
In October, 1850, the Republicans car;
ried Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania, and

that moment, and preparations for seGes'

In October, 1875, Indiana went Demo.
cratic and Ohio Republican, both by small
msiorities, and the Presidential election
which followed was the closest in the his
tory Of the country. Williams Dem
majority for Governor in Indiana was

5,5l5. Barnes (Rep.) majority for Secre.

Der elections being SO close and the gen
eral result in doubt, the parties held their
strength remarkably well 10 the two States,
and there was less variance between the

aspect, show that Ohio never but once be-

do not equal that given for Porter last
