THE SITUATION.

Conceding that the election in lndl'
ana viii show q Republican gain, even
thoueh the State should be Democratic
BY Q small majority; or conceding the
State to the Republicans b. small ma
jority, it is in either case source OF en-
courasement to the Republicans.
But does this complicatc the contest
between the parties, for the Presidency
We have frequently shown heretofore
that il does not, further than to intensi'
~ tine campaign and put each party on
its best behavior.
Before the election took place We took
occasion to show, in these columns that
the Democratic party could well spare
Indiana and still elect HANCOCK. 1t Is
very plsin and easily understood.
One hundred and eighty five votes in
the electoral college are necessary 10
the choice of President. The south
ern States. without exception, it Is con-
coded, will choose HANCOCK electors.
This gives one hundred and ,hirty'eight
votes, with !orty-seven more to come
from Northern States New York,
about which no intelligent man express
es a doubt, will furnish thirty-five OF
these votes, leaving twelve to be sup
plied. II the Democrats carry Indiana,
and no other Northern State, HANCOCK
will have majority Of three in the cleo
toral college, and that one State will set
tie the whole business.
But indiana is not the only Northern
State beside New York that is expected
10 choose Democratic electors. The Re-
publican party has just been shown to
be in minority in Maine, which gives
seven votes, and there is little doubt
that it will be defeated in New Hamp'
shire, which gives five votes more, That
il, il Indiana should 90 Republican,
these two New England States, with
New York, would furnish the forty
seven additional votes required to elect
HANCOCK and ENGLISH.
This by no means exhausts the list o'
doubtful States. Suppose that GARFIELD
should by any accident or possibility
carry all three OF the States mentioned
Indiana, Maine aud New Hampshire
there still remain Connecticut and Ne"
Jersey, both OF which are normally
Democratic, and will doubtless choose
Democratic electors in November. Con
necticut has six electoral votes, ant
New Jersey nine; and these, with the
vote of New York, will give HAScocH
and ENGLISH a majority OF three, thu
same as il Indiana were to add he
fifteen to the Democratic poll.
In short, unless New York can be car
ried by the Republicans, it is practica
impossibility for that party to secure
enough electoral votes to bring GAR
FIELD in. And no one imagines tina
they can carry New York. Hence it il
that the loss OF Indiana by the Repub
licans would he recognized as deciding
the Presidential contest, the loss OF tn,
State by the Democrats would onl!
transfer the battle 10 other fields an'
leave them still an ample margin for tn
election OF HANCOCK.

AND DEFEAT.

1t is thought that Indiana has gone
either Republican or Democratic. But
we think there is a mistake. IL mas
perhaps done neither, and at the same
time done both. The head OF the ticket
ia probably Republican and the tail
Democratic. The news from that sec
ton is meager, and that is encouraging
II is characteristic Of Democratic news
that il is both meager and SLOW from
that section. The same counties from
which the returns sre withheld turned
a Republican victory into Republican
defeat in 1876. They may have larger
odds TO butt against This year, but sti!i'"e
are anxious 10 hear from them.
Oa;o is panninc on, quite vel! on The
Democratic count, AMI glorious West
Virginia stands up amid the wreck OF
matter and the crush oil worlds Ike a
great Democratic Gibraltar, beckonlng
TO her sister States 10 take courage anu
follow her lead for the grand conquest
in November. Hurrah for West Var
GINA!
To enable our readers to make
clearer comparison between tine returns
now being received from Ohio and IN
diana and the figure Of former contests,
we present an analysis oil the vote at the
last two elections in each State, Tor
which we are indebted to the Boston
Herald.
In Ohio in 1873, OF every 600 voters
400 were Republicans, :6i Democrats
l6 Prohibitionists and 81 GreenbacAers.
Thus the Republicans had a plurality
over the Democrats OF cniy . votes IN
900, and were left in minority on the
total vote of G2 in the 1000. Last year
in every 900 voters SOB were Eepubii'
cans. Az Democrats, . Prohibit;onist, Is
Greenbackers ami l scattering. The
Republicans had plurality oil % votes
| in 900, and clear majority Of between
) and 6 in the ,OCO.
In 1876, OIL the vote for Governor, IN
every 1000 Hoosier voters there were
I9l Democrats, 40 Republicans and ~
Nationalists. Thus, the Democrats led
the Republicans by II votes in the l,CCo,
but were left in a minority On the total
vote of IL in the l,000. In 1878, on tie
vote for Secretary OF State. in every 900
voters there were 400 Democrats, 49,
Republicans and 95 Nationalist. The
Democrats had a plurality over the Re-
publicans OF 81 votes in the 900, but
fell short OF a majority by CT votes in
the 1000.

Tur strongest argument ever made Tor
a change is to he found in the desperate
and corrupt means employed by the
Republicans to carry Indiana. There is
not another instance in the history OF
the country ofsuch an amount OF money
being expended corruPtly in any State
AZ was distributed in Indiana by the
Republicans. The Pittsburgh Post al
leses that there were over sixty thou
sand dollars contributed by the Repub-
licans in that city, and in Philadelphia
three times that amount, all for Ia
diana. The aggregate from all sources
constituted an enormous corruption
fund, which well exempliies the re-
sources and rottenness OF the Republi-
can party.

tbs jubilation which the Lnts'iige"cer
made over the returns from West Viz
pinfa must have been occasioned by the
claim that Tucker county had gone K
ty casts about 400 votes, all told. There
are probably not $50 Republican votes
in the whole county, and the official
returns will doubtless show that they
cast less than that number in the cleo
ton on Tuesday. The report that the
Republicans carried the county will
will prove to have no better authority
than bogus Republican bulletin.

WHILE people are being confused by
the conflicting claims in Indiana and
Ohio, some light may ID, thrown on the
situation by rejecting which party
would make change OF its Presidential
candidate ii it had a fair chance now.
Are there any signs OF Democratic dis
satisfaction with HANCOCK in the Octo-
Der States? Is there any doubt that
Indiana, which was strong for GRANT,
or Ohio, which preferred SHERMAN, is
