ing with the shout of victory upon their
lips. Thus it alrernated betwixt hope
and fear, the Republicans having decidedly
the best Of the hurrah, by reason Of the
continued favorable returns from Ohio,
although their inflated claim Of g, 900 ma
jority suddenly abated to somewhere in
the neighborhood OF 10000 below that
figure. The cooler heads among tho large
body of devoted Democrats, who still held
their ground, declined to concede Re-
publican victory i'll the HOosisr state, and
their patient faith was ultimately reward
ed by the glorious intelligence with
which the telegraphcrs wound up for
the night, namely tho Democratic COM
mittee's claim Of 5000 majority for Lam
ders, nine out Of the thirteen congressman,
and Democratic Legislature. That set
tied it, and with three times three the
Democratic throng, who had held tho
fort long after their opponents had depart
ed, went home with an altogether COM
fort able feeling.
The news Of the Democratic success in
West Virginia, though not unexpected,
was heartily cheered.
It was notable,that the news from Ohio
entered but slightly into tho interest, for
while the Democrats were plainly disap-
pointed in the apparent unimpaired Re-
publican majority few il any Of them had
any idea Of securing control Of that state,
the home Of the Republican candidate for
president and Of the present national ad-
ministration in which the influence Of tho
federal patronage is most materially felt,
while all realized that every vital in
terest in the contest was directly centred
in Indiana, and that there tho Democrats
had moro than held their own.
During the night number Of fartlent par
tisans Of both sides imbibed rather
moro benzine than they could safely carry.
and 4 number Of scrimmages were the TO b.
suit, though nothing serious has been re-
ported.
During to-day the same excitement pre-
vailed upon our streets, the prepcnderance
| Of the enthusiasm being in favor of tho
other fellows because of the stout claims
made by the organs Of that party and
the uncertainty Of the result admitted
by the World San. Herald. Philadelphia
Times ond other Democratic and indie
pendent newspapers. From an early
hour this morning the street between tho
INTELLIGENCER and Nfm Era Offices
was occupied by 4 large assemblagc Of
anxious partisans who eagerly scanned
the bulletins Of varying Republican claims
as they were written out by the Era's
young man, the Democrats, Of course,
preferrins to put their faith to Mr.. Bar

INDUSTRIAL CENSUS.
The Work Practically Completed Shows til,
Philadelphia has 8, 600 E:sta aDiishments.

The Work Practically Completed Shows that
Philadelphia has 1000 Establishments.
The work of taking the industrial cel-
sus in Philadelphia is practically completed
and results results in the registering OF
over 5000 business establishments to the
credit Of Philadelphia among the arch.
ives at Washington. Except as to a few
scattering houses the field has been thor
oughly covered by Chief Arrot and his
enumccatOrS.
The number of industrial establishments
returned will be within 1874 of the return
Of 1870, not including fisheries, breweries
and other special interests in this count
that were included in that censns. AS to
the total number Of people employed in the
various industries, the census shows that
there has been an increase of 25 per cent.
over the figures Of ten years ago, not in
Guiding such establishments as those kept
by merchant tailers who manufacture gar
ments OH the premises, aud in this way a
very important showing is lost. In the
matter of value Of production there has
been a decrease Of probably 40 per cent.
or more in value on the average. In the
iron interest it will average Al per cent.
The actual results of the census cannot be
until after the work is reported
to the census bureau.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 1s, 1890.
The Result.

Tie result in the October states leaves
Che presidential battle in the best posi-
bic condition for heavy work all along
The line. The elections of yesterday
aend no very strong influence to the final
decision, whatever may be the result IL
Indiana; for there, wherever victory
perches, it will he by so slender a ma
jority as practically to he no indication
of the presidential strength of the parties.
In Indiana our party had to contend
against the weakness of itsgubernatorial
candidate because of his Greenback pro-
elivities, and it did not have in Mr..
English a candidate who called out the
enthusiasm of the people. 1t is possible
that Landers may be beaten and the
balance of the Democratic ticket
be elected: which would make a
Grawu battle of the contest, and it vii
not be much else anyway. There is no
good reason why few thousand votes in
Indiana one way or the other should Sc
riously affect the election in other states.
Ohio stands without change although
the presidential candidate is from her
borders. A great many people have been
looking to Ohio and Indiana to decide
the November result, as they would have
done if they had shown any decided
change of feeling among the people.
They have shown that party lines are
firmly drawn and that there is going to
he no political avalanche. All the states
that were debatable before are 50 yet. We
never have believed that any result in
Indiana or Ohio that did not prove a
strong political revolution to he going:o on
would greatly affect the November bat
tie in the Eastern states. There is
work and plenty Of it before both
parties, with the advantage OF the
situation strongly with the Democratic
party. The only thing discouraging to
us in Yesterdays results is to find that
the party allegiance Of Republicans is
greater than their disgust for their can
,lidate. There ought not to he decent
man in the country who would vote for
Garfield. B,u party spirit evidently will
make decent men do very indecent
things. Hard as it is to credit that any
large part Of the American people will
vote for periured man to be president,
it is certain that the Republican party
will generally stand by its candidate,
though he is such Il man. 1t is disgrace
full, but it is true. Hancock ought to he
elected by acclamation lie will he
elected by hard work.

MASKED CORRUPTION,

SpeciOus Republican Appeal to Northern

We have received from Mr.. Horace

pany. Mr.. Halden,an endorses the
paper as follows
Respectfully referred to the Lancaster

New YORK, SEPTEMBER "a, 1850.
DEAR SIR: Col. J. T. Collins, veter-
an of the war, good soldier, all upright
gentleman, an active business man and q
first class citizen who is intimately and
personally known to me, is running for
Congress in the First district of Georgia.
The district is {, 900 Republican. He ought
to be elected, and he can he with some ma
terial assistance.
They have raised all they can there; We
ought to assist him here and insure his
election. We all know how important it
is. Ipropose to do fully my share.
Will you not help us by indorsing check
for moderate sum, say $50 or 500, to
the chairman of the national committee,
Ex-Governor Jewell, marked especial 1st
district, Georgia" who agrees to he re-
sponsible for the proper disbursement of
such contributions.
The funds are wanted for tho payment
of poll tax and other legitimate expenses,
which the colored Republicans are unable
themselves to defray. A moderately lib
eral contribution will insure his election.
I shall subscribe $3.50.
Yours respectfully,
WM. E. DODGE.
Facts in Relation to the First COnsressiona!
District Of Georgia.
The census Of 1880 gives the above dis
trict IL, 454 white and Il, 425 colored voters.
The colored men are nearly ali Republi.
can; and at least 1900 of the white are
Republicans-giving on full vote a Re-
publican majority of about three thou
sand.
Owing to the fact that capitation or
poll tax is required from all voters before
the arc allowed to vote, . large number Of
they colored men who cannot pay the above
tax arc disfranchised, and their votes lost
to the Republican party. Could those
taxes be paid and a full vote polled the
district would be Republican beyond any
doubt. There are three candidates in the
field now for Congress, 4 Republican, q
Democrat, and an Independent Dtmocrat
on the Greenback line. The latter will, to
some extent, split the Democratic party,
and make the chances for the election of a
Republican much better. This opportunity
to gain Republican congressman who
will be sound on the financial and tariff
question is one that should be taken ad-
vantage of, and every effort made to secure
his election.

GRANTS old friend the New York Her.
aid says for him II General Grant has
shown excessive partisanship in this can.
vass, it has not been in declaring his strong
wish for Mr.. Garfeld's election and assist
ing to swell the magnitude Of party pro-
cessions, but in his ungenerous and un
candid aspersions of the distinguished fel-
low-soldier who is the rival candidate.
For our part We share Gen. Hancock's S
consideratc doubts Of the genuineness OF
those alleged interviews. But if General
Grants conversations have been misre-
ported, he owes it to his own character to
disavow the imputed language which puts
him in a light that gives pain and regret to
many Of his warmcst admirers. The re-
port of what he said certainly swarms with
historical blunders which General Grant
could not have made, and the alleged per
sonal aspersions should seem equally ill.,
credible. 1t is to be hoped that he will
authoritatively disclaim both the histori-
cal blunders and the personal dctraction." :"
