No Change Needed.

The essential question of the cam
paign is, shall the administration of
the government be transferred to
the Democratic party? And the
preliminary indications from Ohio
and Indiana show that the people of
the north are awakened to the i'm
portance of the events that will fol-
low upon the selection of the next
president. As a matter OF party
policy, merely, the "solid south" has
been a mistake, a blunder, fatal
error to the success of the Democrat.
ic party. With its unfair methods,
its illegal ballotings, its intimida-
tions of republican voters, the "solid
south" has been a menace to good
government, a menace to fair.plsy
in political contests; a menace to
free institutions, and when the coun-
try awGkes, as recent events show it
has awakened, to the significance of
the issue, there can be no doubt
where the American people will
stand on Nov. I'd. With an impair
tial election in the recent slave-hold-
ing and rebellious states, now the
seat of power in Democratic coun-
sells, there never could have been a
particle of doubt as to the election
of Garfield and the continuance in
power, for the next four years, of
the political party which has so
triumphantly vindicated its right to
be placed at the head of affairs
in 1861.
The "sOlid south" has tended to
make a "solid north" The concil-
iatory administration of President
Hayes has proved at least one thing,
viz. that the poison of state SOW
ereignty, nullification and secession
has not yet been eradicated from the
minds of the southern brigadiers.
and that the anxiety their work in
congress caused has been sufficient
10 bring into vivid recollection the
scenes of lS60-'6l, and TO startle the
north into active participation in
the campaign.
Republicans, and with them that
host of loyal democrats who follow
ed the flag of their country on many
a hard. fought battlefield, to the
crowning hour at Appomsttox, will
be glad of the day, glad in their in
most being, when the results of the
war. the establishment of the Union
on the basis of liberty and equality,
and the safety of our free institu-
tiOns, triU be .tf.oed necer to be re-
mOced.
Till that day dawns in all its
splendor, let the men who stood
shoulder to shoulder, from 1861 to
lSG5, Union men, all, now stand to-
gether and vote together; after that,
when the life of our government
shall no longer be at stake: when
the assassin's dagger shall no longer
be feared, political parties can safely
and consistently make up their is
sues on differences of mere admin
istrative policy.

HOWEVER much or little the peo-
pie may be able to accomplish thro'
their representatives in the legisla-
ture this winter, there is no reason
to doubt that they are alive to their
own interests as touching the trans
pOrtation gu estion. This was made
evident at the State convention when
the railroad plank was nailed onto
the PLATFORM, as a part of the creed
of the dominant political party of
the State. How long it may be, and
how many reverses may happen
before that creed (Which is but the
echo of our constitution) shall be
made the solid law of the common
wealth, enforced in the full extent
of its spirit, no one can tell, but the
times are fully. ripe for it, and if
railroad companies can see their in
terests as we think they ought to see
them, they will avoid a contest
which augurs no good to them, by at
once conceding what justice and
right reasonably demand of them
to do.

Glorious News.

The latest and most reliable cleo
ton news shows that the Republi-
cans of Ohio have carried their state
ticket by majorities not far from
10000 to $4,000.
They also elect fifteen Republican
congressman.
The Republican majority on the
state ticket i'm Indiana is claimed to
be 5000 and may reach 10000 on the
official returns.
The Republicans also carry the
Indiana Legislature by small ma
jority, which insures the election of
d Republican United States senator.
The Republicans of that state also
elect eight congressman.
Republicans claim everywhere
that they will have the president,
senate tied at least, and the house
after the 4th of next March.
In connection with the inspiring
news from Ohio and Indiana every
true lover of his country should re-
jOice and give thanks TO the people
of those states for their prompt and
untiring efforts, and their presence
i'm masses at the polls to secure a
fair and honest election. True pa
triOtism demands of the citizens Of
every state in the Union, 10 see to
it, that every person entitled TO vote
shall exercise the right without fear
or moleststion from any quarter,
aud that all honest and fair votes
shall be coHnted, and that all fraud
ulent votes should be kept out of
the bsllot-box. Ii the people SO de-
termine il will be accomplished.

THE attempt last week to remove
John |. Davenport from the chief
snpervisorship of elections in New
York sigDally failed. Davenport
was making an honest effort to cap
ture some of the 25,000 fraudulent
certificates of naturalization issued
by one judge in session of five
hours. The judge to whom the case
was submitted found that his action
was in good faith, and that the Ian
guage of the circular should be moo .
flied, but his original intent wa
good.

The business men of Indiana
turned out and were present nearly
all day at the places of voting. The
election passed off quietly. No dis
turbance reported from any quarter,
when the polls closed at six o'clock.
This shows conclusively that when
the great body of the people deter
mine to have fair and honest elec-
ton it can be accomplished. If we
are not greatly mistaken the day is
not very far distant when fair and
honest elections will be carried on
in the southern states, when every
man who is entitled to vote under
the law will do so without fear or
molestation, and have his vote prop
erly and fairly counted.

"When the rebellion was crushed the
heresy of secession in every form
and in every incident went down
forever. 1t is thing of the dead

way: 81 yield to none in devotion
to that lost cause for which we
