democratic, comedies the election OF
Garfield IL its previous editorial utter
ances mean anything, for il has-dis-
tinctly declared for two weeks that II
both Ohio and Indiana went republi-
can they would give up the fight.
John O.. Thompson, early In the
campaign. made the same declaration,
Secretary Schurz expects TO see from
six TO ten republican majority in the
next house. Postmaster General May
nard concurs. The magnitude OF the
victory Of yesterday is fully appreciated
here, and Schurz sent to-day a telegram
congratulating Garfield on his certain
election.
Chairman Hubbell now considers
Virginia, North Carolina and Florida
hopeful, and attributes the result to
the fear Of democratic accendancy and
its effect on business. Garfield would he
said, get 10, 900 more votes in Ohio than
the republican majority at this election.
He is confident Of New York, Maine,
Connecticut and New Jersey. He
don't believe there is a man who un-
derstands the political developments Of
the last two weeks who does not feel
certain that New York is securely re-
publican. Republicans must, however,
keep right on gaining congressman and
rolling up majorities. Not the least
pleasing result OF the computations on
the effect OF the Indiana election at
Republican headquarters is the pros
pective recovery OF the control Of the
United States senate. That body now
stands, republicans 80, democrats AZ,
Independent l. 1t is now considered
certain that one republican senator will
be grained in each Of the states OF
New York, Ohio. Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana, and
one lost in Mississippi, leaving 3s re-
politicians in the senate after March
4th. The democrats will lose the fore
going six and gain one, leaving them
81. Should Davis, Of Illinois, vote
with the democrats. making a tie,
Arthur, as president of the senate,
will have the deciding vote.
Washington, Oct. 13.-The news to-
day of the republican triumps in Ohio
and Indiana inspired thousands of gov
ernment employees in this city with
feeling Of Joy and elation, in striking
contrast with the anxiety that has pre-
vailed during the past few months
Throughout the various public Offices.
The Indiana victory is universally con-
sidered in the departments Us sure
fcrerunner Of republican success in all
doubtful states next month, and there
for isa guarantee Of continued republic
can office holding for four years longer.
This feeling Of jubilation and serene
confidence is expressed on every hand in
governmental circles, alike by the heads
OF the departments and independent
employees, and it is shared also by the
Washington republicans, whose judge
ment is unbiased by pecuniary needs
or personal aspirations. fhe demo-
Gratis, although discouraged. insist that
ths real struggle is yet to come, and
claim that New York will next month
triumphantly determine the pre-
sidential contest in favor of Hancock
and English. The republican congress-
ional committee has tonight Issued the
following to the republican voters of the
United states:
We have met the enemy and they are
ours, from Oregon, from Rhode Island,
from Vermont. from Connecticut, have
come recent voices, bearing no uncor-
tain sound, but booming and ringing
with notes Of republican victory, and
now Ohio giving US at least %, 900 of a
popular majority and 16 Of her 20 con-
gressional districts. and Indiana giving
us from 5000 to 10000 majority, and
probably 0 Of her 13 congressman and
her legislature, with its certain prom
ise Of a republican U. =. senator, join
their swelling voices with those shouts
Of triumph. and seem to make our COM
ing victory sure.
The vote of yesterday is due to the
fear Of democratic ascendency, Of q
solid southern domination, OF the ruin
to our industries, which would follow,
democratic free trade, experiments OF
the disasters to business and laboring
and other interests which would follow
change Of government when all is
prosperous now. 1t means also unit
cd north against vindictive solid
south.
We have pierced the enemy's centre,
but we must not sleep on our arms. We
must charge along the whole line and
route him, horse, foot and dragons.
Republicans, remember that is the last
ditch Of the solid south, and that the
desperation of despair is not to be de-
spised. Stand by your colors; rest not
for an instant; sustain your committees
In the fight for doubtful districts; be
vigilant, aggressive, pressing the enemy
In tho front, in the rear and on the
tanks, and do not cease your efforts
until q complete and overwhelming
victory In November shall crown them
