POLITICAL' HERO WOU.S1IIP. Kach political canvass, as tliat momentum tnt rvcnrs in our political history, invents ah army of American youn men with the solemn privilege of the ballot. It coiner to them a frve gift from an ancestry full of the very so ai ' freedom, and stll able, after a century lias passed, to keep in jicrpetual glow the fVirr.e flame that wxt nursed re"Mgiou.dy at Valley Forge. It should be, rid it i. with feelings of gratitude and patriotic that a young man inherits the dearly bought Wn of the franchise. He enters tl it'nk? of citizen-ship with high impnly. iLTfi roile aims. S far as in him lie, he n.-o:ves to serve the cause which ajv-ear-to hit hont judgment the promise of all ti e ballet was meant to secure strict integrity u, public life, unflinching respect for the constitution, sleepless enmity to ail pol it fT)acks and insurrectionists, and consort fellowship witli all plans for cenu ni'rtg .r.r national unity and jcace. lie demands two things a cause an a hero. Give hire j cause without a hero, or a hero without & cause, and hi: maiden venture ic politics is clouded with pcrplf -ty .rd apprehension; but give hint both .orohSncd and at once you not only sottl S'iis choice, but tire him w itH enthusiasm, arto Lc enters the campaign with the rcshr.csEar.fi vigor of smne 'Sirrin knight" of the Jvour.d Table. The ycnr.g man of the present canvass hast his eatw ir. the cry fur reform, which Is comirg lip from a disgusted North, fron a plundered nd perscctitel South. Iii. in-stimt-drive him from the party which has outraged the decencies of human nature by it's k nr. very and arrogance, and into the party when champions a change. The war con-os to him as a tradition of hit early boyhood, and a part of that tradition it the ineradicable idea that the North fitif t'to conquer a jx-acc, and not to pcrpctvuifc hcdility and hatred. That war ha,-" rangf! itself in hi.s memory Inside the comests of a dead and buried past. He took no part :n it melancholy incidents, and he takes no ink-'estin keeping them alive. He turn with contempt a:id distrust from the battle sr ii which are daily thrown upon the political canvass by the lantern-workers at W;tu:riyV n. He wan to an administration thai Urf.-k? tc the present in which he lives and to the rtdttre he hopes to improve; not Jo the "J a?t which he outgrew and left Ih hind, lite Me fir.-t pair of twwscrs. He is on the side of the attacking battalions, and iir lance Is as keen and bright f his new ambition. The yt nr.g men of the country are with us," ?iJ. Oct. Tilden in a recent address. They havo u cause thai suits the temper of their ffsrl', on selfish aspirations. That is the p!a;r. maI potent reason. But is it itc only one? Ry no means. He wants a h rt. to lead hi cause; one w ho shall be the sc'f-rf Hart, firm-hearted, fearless cxponer.; oi the principlci he has at heart; one whose u-tr shall furnish an unbroken chain o! tcrlimony to the brave honor-loving iiiattr.fJ in his character; one whose record en a knight errant in iolitical ?:sts shall Im spotless and invincible :, was that of Sir Itncelot ir. t.re Tournament of Camclot; one whf tery name .shall kindle devotion and -, f .ck r.-ce in his followers; one who wrings victory from the elements and spurns the '.vL'-:i.oi)gers that are barking at his heels. TJ-f possibilities of youth, its strength, i'j;rg:es, iiicentiTes, all enter into the u,( t,'ai"o:i, when the young voter watches the rombat as it thickens and notes the cer.lr.i" figures on the field. He believes n yon lit. it is everything to him. He means ind hör- t reach milion lefore it has iasscd away. Two transpicuous candidates arc before him. Ore i bamNome and middle aged; the rchtr ha furrows on his brow and streak- r. in Lis hair. He finds another d'Tert-nce between them. The former La- h-. t r s-!ispicuoiis from boyluKKl for letting tt world, the tlcsh and the iloil rc--j-tf:tnlly alone, and hence is on mte. i-c: 'votive sptaliins terms with thisimportar t L-Io; while the latter began in Iii 1 arrest Vars to stamp Lis character on f he wc -IfVfiJi.i ha Wn so relcnt'ess in Jiis warfare a:ut the flesh and the devil ever ince thüt U.er instii.ctively. skulk around the corner whenever his nervous and lctermincd i tiep is heard.

Cariyle calls genius an int:r.i; etscity for work. fiov. Tilden' ofrteifc.1 srd rof.'ssional achievements prove the trutr. tf the definition. His industry has bxn tiinply prodigious. Before he was out c' Yin teens be Lad mastere! the probkn ut were.ierplexing the brains of Van BiLt and the whie Albjuiy regency. At the fege of tighteen. while preparing for college, kc rot an address during the antiMasonry t-c.fl Republican coalition in Kew York in which aktoundisl the nperieoct d Waders by its marvelous penetration. It wa greedily indorsed tut the document, c f t.v? campai-n, and exerted an influence w':-.kh contributes! to the Jackson rictory cf tLatyear. In 1831 lie ventured to reply if- rat lie debate to that old and trained politician. Senator Talmadge, of Kew Ycr, and amazed the audience

the Independent Treasure Scheme.in support of which Talmadge and others were deserting to the Whigs. At the age of twenty-five he was the constant adviser of statesmen like Van Buren, Marcy and Wright. Ills brain was full of brilliant conceptions, all the more startling because their practical application was plain. His resolutions, like his logic, were invincible. His legal career displays the mot fertile and powerful origiualUies in his methd.sof attack and defense, while his public life reflects the influence of the stern, heroic Cromwell blood be inherited from his mother, and the freedom-loving instincts of the county of Kent, where his ancestors had gained ditinctiin in the days of Hanislcii and l'ym. Here is a record, then, which naturally appeals to the young voter's enthusiasm. Hero worship, when properly tempered, is one of our noblest faculties, ami the youth of America take an honest pride in following illustrious examples. Oovernor Tilden was distinguished as a thinker Wforc he was qualified to vote. His present mature wisdom and honors are the result of fixed habits of industry sine the flays of his brilliant boyhood. The youth of the country are with him. He is their chevalier, their hero. He made his own youth ill u.-.t nous, and young Amrricaindorscs the achievement.

lilNlMXS AM) POI.ITICN. The lladical party is becoming desperate. It has been driven from its strongholds, its refuge of lies has been demolished, its props knttcked from under iL It no longer invites a 1mM, manly, stand-up light, but has resorted to contemptible subterfuges that are understooel to be confessions of defe'at. It has ceased whistling a plea-ant way for cowards to keep up their courage and Las Liken to howling. In the South it hopes to achieve succe-s by murdering liberty with Federal bayonets, and c crept s the testimony of notorious villains in justification of acts so nefarious that fair minded men pronounce them monstrous. In the North, where bayonets can not be profitably used, the organs and managers resort to schemes so transjjarently false that a ray of trutlt renders them powerlc. Having exhausted their resources of falsehood upon (overnor Tilden private life and public record, they have cone-luded to try the power of concentrated mendacity in another direction. Having failed in convincing hdoring men that the election of Hayes und the continuance of thieves in office will prove iK-neticial to their infere-ts, the purjH'se has lcen disclosed to array capitalists and business men against the lemocr.itic party. The cry Wis started that the syndicate would refuse totalÄj any more londs lintil it was settled who was to he elected, and would take no metre at all if Tilden was elected, but Mr. August tkdmcvt promptly dispesed of that rickety scheme to deveiye the people. Tint cry came from a miserable set of sehenters. hs it did in 1K72 such men as Jay Cook, w ho are preparing now as then to rob the government and all w ho put any faith in their representations. This dodge having been promptly put to rest, the next scheme is to impress the public mind with the falsehood tliat business men in Xew York and other cities are arraying themselves against Tilden and Hendricks, because the fiscal affairs of the government under PemtK-ratic rule would not le faithfully administered. Tilden' record a:s governor of New York will efVcctually trample the life out of such a weak and malicious fabrication. Tilden administration of the financial aiTuirs of the Empire state is the grandest record ever made. Since his inauguration thieves have had no show at all. He has saved his icolpe millions in taxation and in the expenditures of the state. It is a record cf honesty and economy, of retrenhement and reform, from first to lasL In addition to this we have the record of the Democratic Hou.sc of IlcprccnLitives, showing a saving in the cxpensisof the government of $30,fV,00o a j-enr. Business men comprehend fciu-h records and when contrasteel with the swindling, thicting and squandering record of the Itadical tarty, it is easy to determine how they will cast their votes, ami where they will giye their influence. Notwithstanding ull this, the Chicago Tribune of yesterday captions an article 'The Busines Men's Campaign." and lalors through a column to show that all the Xew York business men are working to defeat Tilden. If says: ;oik1 new from New York! The business men the merchants, bankers, capitalist all who are interested in maintaining a stead y standard of value and' dread a reyulslon la In tne present rowtn 01 commence ma resumption of prosperous times, have been fully amused at last to the danger threatened bv the Kiicec. of Tttiniiiun.- Hall and a solid Bouth" in I heir eflorts to obtain poetlon of the gov ern Hunt. It may le well to look at the business af fairs of the country and of New York for a few years past, just to see what has transpired to well calculated to niako business men anxious for a continuation of Radical rule. Since 18i0, the date when the Radical ntrty took charge of the government, and including nine months of the current year, the btiinc."s failures of the country number involving a loss of $l,ö.5!,73ö,0O0. Since 107 business men of the city and state of New York have suficred terribly by failures. In the city of New York there have been 1,800 failures, involving a loss of $177,871,000 and in other portions of the state 4,'JbVi failures w ith a loss of ?e3,029,llf, a gra ml aggregate of 9,121 failures and a loss .of $.":!, l'70,ll 9, an average of more than flu'.WO.OuO a year. Such has been the influence of Radicalism upon business a Hairs. We conclude that business men hare not a particular fondness for that ort of ' management. Nor are they likely to indorse a party with enthusiasm that has contributed larscly by its profligacy, by its frauds and thievery to such a state of affairs. The attempt to array business men against the Democratic party will, like other schemes of the Radical party, prove a signal failure. Business raen demand an honest

j government and a united country. Under ; lladical rule thev have neither. Under Til-

den aad Hendricks they may expect both. TIIK XEW YORK TKIHUXE ASD ITS KMORI). The malicious course pursued by the NewYork Tribune towards Governor Tilden :s attracting the attention of the honest por. tion of tV.e Republican party. The indications are that in its efforts to out-herod Herod, the Tribune has overshot its' mark, and tliat instead of injuring the Democratic candidate for president, it has improved his chance of success. A correspondent of the Tribnne, W. A. Ramsey, writing from Killourn City, Wis., troubles it w ith the following questions: 1. Did von leileve what jou said in the rum paten of lsT-J? 2. DM you believe what you said iu 171? 3. Ild you iK'lieve what you said the yearbelore Mr. Tilden was nominatfsl? 1. Do you Itelieve what you wty now? 3. Don't ou think we had "itetter let the south work out its own salvation? The Tribune affects great complacency in its efforts to reply to the questions of its correspondent, bui there are evidences of great men til perturbation, and in spite of its desire to advance the interests of Hayes, Lj compelled, by its record and the searching scrutiny of the honest portion of its readers, to reproduce in its columns Mime wholesome truths; in other words, it is compiled tet swallow itself. la response to question No. J, the Tribune says: The Republican party wa.s demoralized by triumph. It went from bad to worse. The scum ros to the surface. Corruption bred corruption. The party needed the discipline of an overwhelming defeat. We did whut we could to cast It down, and retolcs1 in the triumph of the opjKjsition in ls4. We said what we helle ved, and we believed what we said. Here we have the Pemocrtic doctrine fully indorsed by a Hayes organ. The Republican party was and is "demoralized." It has gone from "bad to worse." The "scum" of the party "rose to the surface," and has remained there. It was this "se'um," Morton. R'aine, IViss Shepherd, Hayes, and hundreds of others, who drove decent men such as Horace tJreeley, Charles Francis Adams, and others equally prominent from its councils. The Tribune "did what it could" to overthrow this scunt-control; it did not succeed. This scum is thicker than ever before; still the Tribune ha-s gone back to it, like the sow which was washed, and having gone back to the slum and scum of the Radical party, its subserihers may naturally doubt its honesty. " In reply to question No. .", which touches upon a matter of the most vital importance to tiie whole country, the Tribune repliea.s follows: After the clone of the war unprincipled adventurers, by orvuni.inz the neuro vote, cur:d control of many of the Southern states and plundered them. The government fell Hiti the UandK of those who were i en o rant and paid no taxes. It wan an unnatural condition of political MK-ietv. It is not strange that the whites have revolted against it. Here iö another confession, indor.-ing the action and policy of the Democratic party and Southern whites, who have been -"Ug-gling to free thcnistlves from the grasp of "unprincipk'd adventurers" who, since the close of tin: war, organized the negro vote, obtained control of Southern states and plundered them. Against this " unnatural condition of political society" the people of the Southern states have contended. It is this and nothing else that has brought alxtnt a "solid South'' solid against plunderer.-, solid against unprincipled adventurers, solid against thieves in oflice, solid in favor of good government. And, as the Tribune says, ' it is not strange" that such should bo the case. On the contrary, it is natural, it is honest.and merits the approval of honest men everywhere. No state has been more cruelly plundered by "unprincipled adventurers" than South Carolina. No greater villain thun Chamberlain has escaped justice. In no Southern state have the whites struggled more valiantly for the right than in South Carolina. What is the result? When there was a prospect of victory over "unprincipled adventurers" ami pIundcrers,Chamberlain a-ks (.rant to drive the state back into the hands of the thieves, and, quick as lightning from. the clouds, Orant responds, and. planting his military heel upon the prostrate state,he pins it down with four thousand bayonets. And thw outrage upon the constitution and law is approved and applauded by the Tribune. Under such circumstances and with such a record, it is not surprising tliat its tubscrilier inquires "Do you believe what you say now?" The Tribun does not believe what it says now in defense of Hayes and Grant's Southern olicy, and if its throat w ere not äs wide and deep as Hen Hate the lies that it teil would choke it to death. DEftPEBATE. The Radicals are desperate they realize that they arc beaten they know that on next Tuesday their goose will be COOke-d. They have been beaten on their own isues. In Indiana and "West Virginia their strong cards were money and the bloody shirt their crimson rag is in the dirt and their money only brought down by Woicott. The Independents refuse to be delivered according to contract. Poor they may be, according to Kilpatrick; but they will not be sold to Friedly. Routed and demoralized throughout the North the Rads turn to the Sörth, and hope by the use of bayonents to retrieve their fortunes, but there they are not succeeding as well as they anticiated. The war between the whites and blacks has not yet commenced, and the bayonet order has excited a whirlwind of indignation throughout the North. The news from New York is disheartening to the Rads. The empire state is certain for Tilden, the majority is et down anywhere from 50,000 to 73,000. Connecticut is 'certain for Tilden and Hendricks. New Jersey is equally certain to go against them. Pennsylvania is wheeling into line. No wonder the Rads are desperate. But these favorable prospects must not abate the zeal of Democrats in Indiana. Our dutyia to carry thi state by at least 13,000 majority. This will

require earnesL active anjj determined work. The outlook is glorious. There are cheering rift in the clouds. Radicalism is on its la-t legs. Democrats should re-light their watch fires iu Indiana. Once more to the front and victorv is ours.

TUE POLLS A.D VICTORV. It is possible that Democrats have been relying too much upon their October victory. The October battle was one of terrible earnestness, and the victory was well calculated to induce a calm bordering upon stupor. The Democrats of Indiana were entitled to a furlough for a few days, but the time has expired; every man must lie in camp on to-morrow morning, ready for duty, for tncre is earnest work for every one. For weeks past the Radicals have leen at work, laying their plans anil concocting schemes of fraud. The intention is to wrest the laurels of the October election from the Democratic party. Money has flowed like water. Already the importation of voters has cenumeneed. They have been recognizid in the streets of Indianapolis, and, upon being interrogated, have confessed to the damning outrage which Radical managers have plotted to defraud the je-ople out of their choice for president and vie-e presidenu Tuder such cinlumstanccs hat is to !te done? Democrats must nerve themselves for the work before them. They must lie at the polls early, they must stay at the polls all day, they must w ork for their country on Tuesday as they never workui Itefpre. They must see that frauds arc not jierpetrated they must watch with untiring vigilance for imported negroes, and prevent them from voting. Nothing less than this will answer the demand; the interests involved are such that there is no escape from the responsibility. You may grow weary; never mind, stand by the polls. You may have pressing business elsewhere; never mind, stand bv the ttoll. From earlv daw n until the sun goes down stand by the polls, and as certain as the sun rises and sets on Tuesdav the virtorv will lie voure STII.L. THEY CO ME. Things are getting all right in Michigan. The Menominee Journal, until recently an I itdependent organ, is out for Tilden and Hendricks. What makes the change all the more significant it tha the edittir has I teen an-out and-out Republican. In coming out for Tilden and Hendricks it says: Tl If ten 'a letter relative to Southern claims, cotton tax, payment for slave and ensioniriK of r liel soldiers, makes him the next president of the nation. Disposition relative to these questions exhaust all Republican argument. It leaves the party, its press nnd orators, naked to the bone. The gut-fat w hich such men um 11. .1 . Rrown and James A. Crozer accumulated in lvlta county, holding up JSam stephenson'n coat-tail, melts. Itoh InerhollV glory wanes. The entire bloody hhirt and dirty shirt fatirle falls to the round, unwept and unmounted. The drift is all right. Hayes may carrv a Northern sLite, but doubts accumulate every day. The Independents are coming over by thousands. The Rads have been unfortunate; they have not leen able to make the Southern claim bonanza pan out profitably. REBEL DEBTS. This is the way that Samuel J. Tilden put his foot on the rebel debt bugaboo and crushed the life out of it. He says: Should I !: elected president the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment will, far aa dcs nds on nie, lie muintained, executed and enforced in perfect and almoin te good laith. No n.-tiel d-bt wilt be assumed or paid. No claim for th loss or emancipation, of any slave will In allowed. No claim for any loss or damage incurred by disloyal jiersons arising; from the late war, whether covered by the Fourteenth Amendment or not, will lie reeogniz d or paid. The eot ton tax will not liei-.-funded. I shnll deem it my duty to veto every bill nmvidlng tor the assumption or payment of any such dobts, losses, damage, claims or for the refunding of any such tax. Major General Genjrgc Stoneman. one of the most brilliant cavalry officer of the war. administers a nto&t scathing rebuke to Radicals, whei claim that their party suppressed the rebellion. General Stoneman writes as vigorously as bo fought, and being honest as weH as brave he does not hesitate to state plain fact. Among other things in his admirable and timely letter. Gen. Stoneman says : A reference to the rmy Register for the year lsi;i discloses the fact that out of seventyrtve major generals of volunteer then belonging to the army of the United States, and engag'd in righting the battles of the Union, miy-flve wen at the commencement of the wur pronounced Democrats : and but fifteen claimed to In-long to the Republican party. Duringand since the war, twenty have died, and of the remaining fifty, three-fifths, by actual eount, are now in sympathy with the Dentoeratie partv;and if they voteat all, will vote for Samuel J. Tilden for the next president- of the United States. Among the major genetals of volunteers who left the Democratic party re ftutler, Logan and Sickles, whilst amongst those who have left the Republican party are Slocum, Sigel, and Palmer, of Illinois. The thirty major generals of volunteer who nave never severed their connection with the lemocratic party, and have emained true to 1 heir Democratic principles, are represented by tiuch men fUf Koweerans, Hancock, McClernand, Mct'lelian, Franklin, Buel, ttrd. Couch, A. H. Williams and Fighting Joe Hooker. New York, the btrongest Democratic täte in the North, Kent more troop, into the field than anystate in the Union in proportion to her population, whereas Massachusetts, the strongest Republican state in the North, sent fewer of her citizens into the war, in proportion to her population, than any täte in the Union. In New York the Republicans are playing a game by which the knowing ones are deliberately robbing those of their party who put any faith in their estimates of Radical strength. Chief among these managers is Sheridan Shook, one of the Republican leaders in the city of New York. This fellow bet heavily on Indiana 'and lost, and now be is making up for his losses by procuring favorable report of Republican prospects, and in this way deludes his fellow Republicans wbo are not in the secret, into betting their money, while Shook and his confederates rake dow n the pile. Senator Morton is at last defending Belknap. Sitting Bull nays that Grant's secretary "did not Ktcal from -th government." His crime, if possible, was w orse. He virtually etole from the soldiers for every dollar, the scoundrel obtained w tu a tax upon the men who, on the frontier,-were fighting Indians.

BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS. !

IiOuis Time, Ivm.J The victory is preeminently a triump of the iieojile over train edand experienerd politicians, intrenched tiehind the spoils and safeguard of year, backed by the entire influence of the administration, by an immense army of ofiiceholders. increased for the occasion by a vast number of new and unnecessary appointments, and by thousands of the soldiers of the United States, forced by unscrupulous partisans into a service for which they w ere never designed. Although the result is clearly a victory for the Democracy as a party organization, the Democrats are proud to acknow ledge the assistance they have received from friends of reform, over all the country, regardless of previous party affiliation, who have rallied around the standard of honest government, with the purpose of affecting such changes as shall give the country permanent peace and real prosperity. The importance of this victorv can not be over-estimated. It is the second salvation of the country. It is the Inginning of a new century of "the nation's life. It puts an end to the corruption that was preying upon the vitals of the Union and threatening to destroy its existence. While fully sensible of the great value of the victory, we are not disposed unduly to exult over our defeated opponents, but rather to express a profound gratitude tliat God, in his goexl providence, has led the people in the right path and brought them out of elarkness into light. It eu It of the Reform Fight. ICivl-agoTiibui. Rep. While the Republicans were thus endeavoring to pnynt desertions and to hold their own forces, the Democratic party pursued a most aggressive war. It held (ov. Hayes responsible for all the errors and mistakes of the administration during the last eight years, and while his platform and his principles weie all that the country eould desire, he had to carry the weight of the very crimes and foil it 8 w hieb be had lieen selected to reform. The result of a campaign thus conducted aeamjstiLMi intensely aggressive on the one hand, and exclusively .defensive on the other is shown in its eltect in all the close and debat able states. In Indiana it caused defeat w hieb defeat gave new vigor to the Democratic party in other states, and in the general result the story is told of the defeat of a great and jowerful party by a few thousand votes in each of two or three small state-s. The PeopIeN Triumph. Cincinnati KiUtilrcr.J This is the result, as it appears at this writing, of this centennial struggle t if the people to perjietuate a government of the peopl,". It is the jeople'.s triumph.

For the lirst time in the history f the world a government has been taken from the hands of those who saved it and given fiver to those who sought its destruction. The ReCublican party has fought a gallant battle, ut it has fought against too great fdds, and it is overwhelmed. It has fought an tijien enemy in front and a treacherous enemy in the rear.

Indiana was the first state last night to cut down the Iftijics of the Republicans. The small Democratic gains tin the October vote rejiorted from time to time, told tlte story that while the Republicans had stotKl up bravely, they were unable to stem the torrent, and that they had lost their "litrhting chance," so the fifteen electoral votes of the Hoosier s'ate may be counted for "Tilden and Reform." as it were. Romove the ApprpbenstfMis of n Itow. Courier-Journal. There is no doubt that Tilden and Hendricks are elected president and vice-president of the United States. The likelihood is that the majority will le sufficiently decisive to remove the apprehension of a row over the count. The IVmocratic ticket has doubtless received at least two hundred electoral votes. TIIK TII.DEX TOUXAIIO That Swept Over the t'txtntrr on Tue ty. Chicago Tunes." Hninmary of the situation. Within an hour or two after the close of the polls, yesterday, the special corresjKindents of the Times in all parts of the country began to send in scattered returns from precints or counties here and there, with occasional confident estimates, based on scraps of information of the result in some of tlte states. These were nearly all of one color, strongly tinged with Tildenism. The earliest returns from voting-places in Chicago showed small hut steady gains for Tilden on the close vote for certain county officers last year, and at midnight ÖÖ precincts in Ctiok county had been heard from, giving Tilden a net majority of 4,4Ö. At 1 o'clock 4o precincts heard from gave Tilden a majority of 5,200. These precincts represent Democratic rather more than Republican wards, and therefore furnish no exact data, except that they indicate in a general wav that Tilden has carried the county by from 000 to 4,000 majority. Tilden, ki almost every instance, leads the ticket, save in the case of Kern, for sheriff, w ho promises to run several thousand ahead of his ticket. In the lirst and Second districts the race for congress is close; in the Third district Lc Moyne appears to be elected, in many instances running ahead of his ticket, especially in the American prenincts. Mills, for Mate's attorney on the Republican ticket, is making a close nee. A mass of detailed returns from all part of Illinois will he found below. They leave no doubt that the state has gone for Hayes by from 15.000 to L'O.OOO. The Republicans gain several congressmen in this and. other 8tatef, but not enough probably to change! the complexion of the House of Representatives. The Iemocrnts and Independents have doubtless carried the legislature. Some comfort for Haves $ found in a majority of 40,000. :rore or less, in Iowa. Vermont, Maine and

Rhode Island are also sure for Hayes. From Wisconsin early in the night came dispatches showing lilieral Tilden gains in various towns and precincts, and for a time the prwlabi'ities seemed to be that the Republican majority had been overcome. Milwaukee, however, fell far short of her expected majority, and it scemtsl doubtful if the outside counties would lie ab to recover the ground thus lost; but soon after midnight the editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel sent out a tlispatch giving op the state to Tilden. The returns from Indiana came in slowly, and showed several small gains in the northern part of the state, but not enough to endanger tlte Tilden lectoral ticket there The earlier, reports from New York gave abundant reason for the lelief that the state had gone for Tilden by a handsome majority, and this was so fully confirmed that the New York Time's' people telegraphed to Hayes the Ions of the state le.ore midnight. The debatable gronnd of Connecticut was a subject of intense interest for a while, but the returns at an early hour left the llayesites no pin to hang a hope upon, and they turned their saddened eyes toward Xew Jer-ey as their only hope. The news from what used to lie called the state of Camden and Amboy wa fruitfully slow, but what little there was of it brought no hope to the desjondent Haveites. A crowd of them had hired a hall is Columbus. O., w ithin earshot of their candidate, and had made all preparation for ar outburst of t nthu.s'&'mi; but the returns did not warrant the ontlay, and the elit-pirited party slowly melted away. In the Southern states the election was a very orfe-siued affair Maryland was nported 17,000 in round numbers for Tilden; i ieorgia, 50,ono; Tennessee. 40,000 or ."Vo.ooO; Missouri.

A HATTER II AYS ED. He Had a Claim A?ulut Hayes InviueibleM. the AIXO s AX ATT ACUT K.VT. The Uor-teoMt ralfM-ms r the Have nnd W heeler Uwtrln m the iir p of the Iji w . es an Francisco Morning Herald. The air yesterday was murky w ith rumor, and seemed fairly sureliarged with imjiciiding calamity. Karly in the forenoon it was announced on the trects that the Hayes. Invincible, "that itnist magnificent oliticid clul on the continent," had been rent by internal dUsen-ions, and bad disbanded, to Ik, seen no more of men. This was hardly believed. True, the morning Republican press had published, as if by , authority, that there would be no more j-arades, no more iireworks, no-more glare and pLiiuor, but that Republicans w ere at last going to work. This, of course, admitted of but one interpretation, tow it: that money could not be niised to pay the expenses of the parade and it had the ret tire to lie abandoned. TbU was tlte correct explanation as subsequent events. slmweL The first luutteriugs of the su-rm came on Monday, when the musicians, who had leeii engaged to furnish the "Marching through t icorgia" on Saturday night, walked upon Mr. lit truck and demanded one half of their coin on the sjot and the other half Saturday afternoon, otherwise thvy would i ot turn out Mr. lioiw-k putpetL, tore bin hair for tlte moment and then sent a number of envoys in a best and dciperate skurry for cash. The niuaicia-n. waited. Mr. Rortick sat with tlte cold perspiration oozing from every jiotv. The envoys retured in an hour and reported that they had been unable to raise a cent. Then Mr. Itocuck, with tlesjienite calmness dcclarcel that t!ve parade would ' have to go- to h J' Tlie rejiort spread abroad that the "committee was busted." and a general paJiic seized the creditors. The newspapers who bad been doing Mr. Horuck's advertising on tick, sent their affrighted collectors to the sevne, but they came hack empty-handed. Hie paper, more lucky titan tlte rest, liaving a bill of SJH'i, took $4."i ami gave a re ccipt in lull, and "mighty glad to get it I was," said the collector. Individual creditors began jxuiring in about thhi time, and one report lias it that Mr. Horuck w:n nearly ready to goovcr to "octh Reach for a "swim," as he saw the long line of determined faces beseiging the doorway. Rutthe contagion soon spread, to other headquarters than Ilorucks. Mr. Rcichart'a comfortable nest was invaded by the hawk, early in the flay, and that courteous gentleman was re ? nested to lift a little mortgage on the Hayes nvincibles uniforms without delay. Mr. Reichart went down into his Y1x'i:t'f, vainly did he turn them inside out the haw k stilL held its own. There was a hurrying to amLfro, a rattling of tle -r over the stony fctrect. M. Sears was hunted ip. N coin could begot from him. Mr. Harding was found, belt ot course had not a cent. And st on down the list of vice presidents. Not a cent could lie found among any of tlx-uv. Sadly Mr. Reichart went back to Horticultural ila.ll to confront Mr. Collins, the katicr, to whom the. debt was due. To him he re ported that he could not raise tin? money, "but ttt-m ." Mr. Collins shook his head with a determined air ynd made a lee-Lne for an attorney's ofliee where a writ of attachment was sued out pro forma, placed in the hands of the sheriff, and in twt hturs all the.se gorgeous caps and capes, those magnificent trapping, tlKtse lanterns, flags horrors! the silken Mag of the old (irant InvinciUes, the eagle, the howitzer, the decorations, in fact, everything in the way of property abont the building, except the glee club and Mr. Steppacher's white necktie, wa.s in the ruthless grip of a slieriff minion. This untoward calamity has come like a blight unon the fentunes of the Invincibles, and it Is doubtful if they survive iL I-ist night the pro,erty remained in the sherifl's ponsetcwon and if nt redeemed will be old at once to satisfy Mr. CWilins claim. The sheriff! officials are reticent about the whole business, and there-fore the Herald reporter could not learn what the claim amounted to, but it frs understood to be about 400. Xew York World: It may mean much or it. inav iiipxu little, but it otiffht to be tl earlv tiu'lerstood that the Radicals are talking 'MVMson" pretty openly all over thiscouutry. Perba jis the human race may not loe much if these people undertake to carry their threat into execution. They may expect decent burial at the hands of a DemtK-ratie government, but no contracts feir "headstones' will le made.
