In the present Congress there are six Re-
publicans and seven Democrats, including
De La Matyr. The legislature to be chosen
elects United States Senator to succeed
the Democratic Senator, Mcdonald.
In Ohio the Republicans expect, with good
reason, TO succeed. The State is close, and
of late yeirs has sometimes gone Republi-
can and sometimes Democratic. The fol-
lowing is the vote at recent elections:

The Elections To-Day.

The result of the elections held to-day is
awaited with intense interest by men of all
political parties; for there is possibility
that it may determine the Presidential con-
test. Should Indiana be carried by the Re-
publicans all chance of Democratic success
would be gone. On fair vote honestly
rendered there are good reasons for be-
lieving that the State is Republican this
year. But the probabilities are strongly
against fair vote. The loose registry law
gives great opportunities for fraud-oppor-
tunities of which the Democrats have never
hesitatcd.to avail themselves, and which
they seize upon with more than usual eager
ness this year. Heretofore they have con-
tented themselves with bringing voters from
Kentucky and thus securing large majori-
ties in the river counties. Now they seek
aid from New York and Philadelphia. The
notorious Bill McMullin is in the State at
the head of large gang of Philadelphia
repeaters, amply supplied with funds by the
Democratic National committee, and he
has for allies many of the retainers of Tam
many Hall. Though the Republicans are
taking the most active measures to discover
and expose these scoundrels, and the United
States marshals and supervisors are doing
their whole duty, it is TO be feared that the
consummation of the fraud cannot be pre-
vented. The Democratic repeaters are sent
to those precincts where Republicans are
almost unknown. There are many such in
Indiana. For example, in Dubois county
there are three precincts in which only II
Republican votes were cast in 1876, against
617 Democratic. Even if repeater is
spotted the Democratic officials receive
his vote, saying he cannot be arrested until
he has completed his offense.
The Indiana Republicans have certainly
made considerable gains within the last few
weeks. The tariff discussion has operated
in their favor, and many business men have
joined them. But they have to contend
against ruffians gathered from the slums of
Democratic cities and the ranks of Southern
bull-dozers. The fraudulent vote will very
likely be enough to turn the scale against
them in a State that the Democrats have
controlled for SO many years.
The nominations in Indiana are as fol-
