TUESDAY’S ELECTIONS. Rousing Democratie Vic- ~~ tory in Ohio. Bishop Eleeted Governor by Over : - 20,000 Majority. The Legislature Strongly Democratic in ' Both Branches, - - . lowa Republican by a Largely Re--2 duced Majority. “Sound the lond timbrel o’er Egypt’s dark ses, Jehovah has trinmphed, His people are free.” The election in Ohio for Governor and other State officers, and members of the Legislature, resulted in a rousing democratic victory. Bishop is elected Governor over West by over 20,000 majority,,and the Legislature, which has a U: S. Senator to elect in place of Stanley Matthews, is largely democratic in both branches. Latest returns place the majority at between dO-anddo.. L e ' The Democrats gained immensely in the larger towns_and cities. They carried Hamilton county (Cincinnati) ‘by over 2,ooo.majority, and in Cleveland the republican majority was reduced about 3,000. In Lucas ceunty (Toledo) the Workingmen elected their ticket—a remarkable achievement.— ‘The vote for the Workingmen’s State ‘ticket is unexpectedly large throughout the State. The: Republicans lost heavily in the Western Reserve. -+ lowa, as usual, has gone republican by about 25,000 or 30,000 majority, which is about 20,000 less than last year. _ ‘ ]~ | SN M’DONALD’S PAIR-OFF. . - A large portion of our space, this ‘week, is devoted to the discussion of ‘the McDonald-Morton pair-off, which has attracted 8o much attention in political circles at home as ‘well as else.where. After reading the arguments on both sides we have reached the conclusion that Senator MeDonald ‘made a mistake in proposing the arrangement at this time. ‘Without doing violence to his personal friendship for Mr. Morton, he might have deferred his generous offer until aqfter-the special session. ' Nearly two months are yet to elapse before Mr. Morton is to go to Washingtorr; hence Mr. MecDonald could very properly have awaited events and governed himgelf accordingly_. The contingency in‘dicated in the “pair-off” may hever arise, and again advantage of the proffer may be taken by the republican Senators staving off action on' the Louisiana case with the expectation of either securing Morton’s vote or being benefited by Mr.' McDonald’s pair-off. The importance of the situation sho’d have prompted McDonald to proceed slowly. T . | ~ JOSEPH RISES TO EXPLAIN. Senator McDONALD has published an address to the Democracy of Indiana in regard to his alleged agreement with Senator Morton to pair off with him on questions upon which they would be at variance. He earnestly defends his course and says that the proposition was not to pair off unconditionally, but was to the effect that 'if Senator Morton should so far re‘cover as to be able to go to Washingit:on, Senator McDonald would relieve him from ths labors of daily attendance by pairing with him. The Senator says also that he has often been the recipient of similar favors at the hands of his colleague, notably last spring, at a time of illness in his family, and that the custom has been common from the foundation of the Government. He ‘concludes by warmly repelling the assertion of/the Sentinel ‘that his constituents’ wfu be disfranchised in the Senate as leng as he retains his right to represent them. - THE WISCONSIN DEMOCRACY. There is no uncertain sound in the platform of the Wisconsin Democracy relative to the finance question. The platform recentiy adopted in that State “declares its hostility to the financial policy of the republican party, withdrawing capital from taxation, increasing'the burden of the public debt by declaring currency bonds payable in gold, demonetizing silver in the interest of the creditors and at the expense of the debtor, and atfempting to force resumption, when it will bring ruin upon the general business interests of the country; and demands instead that the property protected by the government pay its proportion of the expenses of the government, that silver be remonetized and the present resumption act be repealed, and resumption be postponed until the financial condition of the country will permit 46" Good: e ARCHBISHOP BAYLEY, of Baltimore, died at his former home at Newark, N.

- The Glorious Victory in Ohio. Indianapolis Sentinel of yesterday. o Ohio has a Bishop and the Louisi- | ana returning becard theology with a resumption liturgy will be dismissed. Hayes is defeated in his own State. Fraud is at.a discount. The people of Ohio do not indorse returning board. villainy. The fact is recognized that it is better to be right than to be President. Thenew eraisdawning. Truth is.again trinmphing. The democratic party, always true to the people, is gaining ground everywhere. Ohio comes to the front nobly. New York and Pennsylvania will increase the democratic thunder. Hayes will think the day of judgment has come sure enough. Judas Bradley and J. Madison Wells will doubt the infallibility of fraud; and civil service reform, which feeds perjured villains at the publie crib, will be as it deseryes to be —at a discount. The tidal wave has again set in. The victory of 1876 was. reversed by a returning board protected by bayonets. Ohio stamps upon the crime. Mr. Stanley Matthews will have to retire. TFwenty thousand ma-

jority looks well in print. It is an evidence that the people can be trusted. The sober second thought is generally right. John Sherman will have to retire, Contraction has met with a. rebuke. Henceforth more greenbacks. 'The remonetization of silver is assur'ed. Bondholders will no longer dictate the policy of the government. We celebrate the victory and bring out the democratic rooster. Indiana Democrats salute the brave. and the true men of Ohio, and when the time comes will roll up majorities that will cheer the hearts of patriots throughout the land. All hail, Ohio! A noble work nobly done. All haill < i, O E— How the Republicans Explain their Defeat in Ohio. % Special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. CoLuMBUS, 0., Oct. 10.—The indications av this hour (1 o’clock, A. M.) are . that the entire democratic State ticket has heen elected, together with«a joint ballot, majority in the Legislature.— Dispatches received from Cinecinnati report that the Democrats have car'ried Hamilton county, and with that the political complexion of the Legislature is changed, ‘also, to democratic. The heaviest Republican losses are in the Reserve counties, where it seems that little more than a three-fourths vote was cast, thus giving the central and southern counties, where Bishop's greatest strength was located, a preponderance. The labor question entered into the campaign in several of the larger counties, but it has not proved to be so important a featurein the election as was expected. In Hamilton eounty, where.it, of course, had its greatest strength, they polled less than 10,000 votes. In the city of Cleveland, where they were greatly feared, the Republicans have succeeded in electing their entire ticket, legislative and county, though by a greatly decreased majority from that of last year. The Republicans lay their defeat to the apathy in their own ranks rather than to any marked increase of the Democraticstrength. The election of a Demoecratic Legislature defeats the aspirations of both Matthews. and Garfield for the Senatorship, and will cause a lively sc¢ramble between Pendleton, Ewing, Morgan and Payne when the Legislature shall -meet in January. ; : e - T—- "~ Another Russian Defeat. The Russian army of Asia Minor, after a long period of inaction, has again been defeated by the Turks in a great battle. It was fought near Kars last Tuesday. An official bulletin of the: Grand Duke Michael, who commanded the Russian army id person, puts the Russian loss:in Tuesday’s action at 3,069 killed and wounded,butthe Turkish bulletin says that the Russtan loss was over 5,000, The Russians were the assailants, and they were re‘pulsed along the whole line of attack, except at one point, which was of so little account to them that they abandoned it. On the next day there was some fighting; but the Russians were evidently exhausted in Tuesday’s action, for on Tuesday they withdrew from the field. = - In the operations in the Asia Minor, the Grand Duke Michael, who has commanded the army since the beginning of the war, has failed as miserably as’' the other members. of his' family have failed in the operations in - Bulgaria. His first campaign was'a disgraceful failure; and now, after his army has been recruited, and has enjoyed a rest of many months, his second campaign has opened as disastrously as his first ended. In his first campaign he laid the blame upon his subordinate, General Mellikoff, but in "Tuesday’s action, according to the despatches, he himself was in immediate command of the army. 1n the present war with Turkey, the imperial family of Russia have not shown themselves ‘o be victorious commanders on the field of battle.—XN.

Clay, minister to ' Russia under Lincoln,’is as follows: Clay employed White’s mother as cook, discovered her stealing and discharged her. Sheswore vengeance. Perry, a dissolute character,.resolved to Kkill Clay, and sent a threatening letter to the latter. Clay therefore went armed. On Sunday (Sept. 30) Clay found . White near the former’s house and ordered him off the place, but anticipa- ‘ ting an attack, warned White that if he moved from his position till he, Clay, mounted his horse, he would kill him. Claythen turned away, when suddenly the negro sprang forward.— Clay turned and drew his pistol, firing twice. Both balls tcok effect, one in the neck, the other in the breast.: The negro dropped dead. Clay rode 'to town and surrendered to the town authorities.

SENATORS HGDQN ALD AND MORTON. ‘The Former’s Generons Offer to “Pair - of? o About two weeks ago Senator MecDonald paid a visit, with Secretary Thom pson, to Senator Morton, and personally assured him that he should be rejoiced at his recovery, also that sho’d he so far recover as to get in the District of Columbia, he would gladly pair off with him, so as to relieve him of the necessity of daily attendance:. Genjeral Manson, Chairman‘of the Indiana Dewocratic State Central Committee, sent by Senator McDonald his sympathetic regards, with the hope for his. speedy recovery. Senator Morton, we are told, received both these messages with the liveliest expressions of gratitude, and was deeply moved by these evidences of solicitude for his restoration to health. Yol

The generous offer of Senator MecDonald has evoked considerable comment and discussion in the press of this State as well as of adjoining States. ‘With few exceptions, the democratic press strongly condenins the action of Senator McDonald as unjustifiable and unwarranted. “Below we reproduce the comments of several democratic journals, pro and con: e | |Crawfordsville Review.] The action of Senator McDonald in agreeing to pair off with Senator O. P. Morton does not meet the approbation of those who clothed him with ~the authority of United States Senator. The Democracy of Indiana did not elect Mr. McDonald to office that he might extend courtesies to the most ultra Republicans. - They elected him to the Senate that he might be their faithful representative in that body.— But it seems that he is willing to pair ‘off with Morton—that. is, leave his ‘seat in the Senate and allow the State to be unrepreésented, in case the latter is able to get to Washington. Therefore, in order to Kill Mr. McDonald’s vote in the Senate, Morton hasonly to be carried to. Washington and the work is done. In this matter Mr. McDonald has been entirely too generous. He has done many times more for the strength and influence of the republican party than any republican would ever consent to do for him or the democratic party. The democratic par'ty i 3 not responsible for Senator Morton’s infirmities, and should not be unrepresented in the Senate in consequence of them. But besides all this, one vote in the Senate at this time is very important and may change ' the entire complexion of that body.— The Republicans can only have a very small majority at best, and may even fail in that. In view of all these considerations we can not but regard it as a great mistake in Senator Me¢Donald to trifle with the vote of the great State of Indiana by dgreeing to pair off with Senator Morton. . [Columbus Democrat.] - : - Considerable unfavorable comment has been called forth upon the promise of Senator McDonald to pair with Morton under a certain contingeney in the coming session. The contingency was that Senator Morton would be able to go to Washington. As a matter of persoral accommodgtion, pairing with each other has been practiced by the members generally in past congresses, and so far as we know without a word of criticism from their party. DBusiness, pleasure or misfortunes have frequently called Senators from the scenes of their duties, and at such times the colleague has stepped forward as a personal favor and paired his voice during such absence. Whether the practice is right is a lquestion not to be discussed in connection with Senator-McDonald’s promise to pair. It is in vogue, and until it is abrogated we see nothing wrong in McDonald’s following it. It is contended that at this particular juncture the Senator should not have agreed to pair. No one has given a good reason why. If Morton is able to 2o to Washington at all, he would be able to be in the senate chamber and cast his vote upon the organization of that body, and would do so, in the event his vote was not paired. It is hardly worthy of reasonable men to say that Morton could be taken to Washington and then could not be taken from his hotel to the senate chamber. If he is unable to go to Washington the agreement to pair falls. Hence we can not condemn our Senator. If he bad agreed to pair his vote in Washington while ‘Senator Morton lies on what we believe to be his death bed in Richmond, then McDonald would be obnoxious to censure, but nothing of the kind has been done. In the past the Senator has beer the recipient of a kindred fa_vor at the hands of Morton, yetno one condemned him for accepting it. No one should now condemn him for returning that favor. From the reports it is almost certain that Morton will not attempt to go to Washington, his condition being such as to absolutely forbid it. Senator McDonald’s vote will be recorded in the organization of the Senate, and upon all political questions, to the entire satisfaction of the democracy of the State and country, so we believe. ' ] (Franklin Democrat.] So Senator McDonald has paired off with Senator Morton? That is decidedly liberal on the part of Joseph. Would Oliver have done so if his colleague had been on his sick bed? Not much, There is no such foolishness as that amounts to about Oliver P. Morton. That isn’t the kind of hairpin he is. We think Senator McDonald has made a great mistake in making any such arrangement, as it is expected of | bhim that he will record his vote as a Democrat upon political and all other questions. If Joseph E. McDonald desires the respect of -the Democrats of Indiana he will immediately absolve ‘himself from any such obligation, | < PNew Albany Ledger.) - We hold that it is the duty of Senator McDonald, whatever may be his private feeling toward his suffering colleague, to-appear in his place in the Senate and perform his duties toward his constituents. ‘We do net, nor will not, question the motives of the Democratic Senator. His kindness of heart -and disposition to reciprucate favors of this kind has nothing to do with his relation as a Senator. Thesystem ‘of pairing off in Congress should be abandoned at once. It is made use of for junketing and the performance of private business, and not unfre-: -quently to dodge responsibility. It - would be a reform to forbid it by law. We do not intend to quarrel with Senator McDonald on the subject. We believe him to be a pure and upright man, but we think he has made a mis‘take as the Representative of the peo‘pleot Indiana, | -, lioloinr T ¢ [Fort Wayne Semtinelj ~ = . | ~The Indianapolis Sentinel and other ~democratic pipers are making a great deal awwmﬂ o o ~' lessness to his trust,” “disloyalty to | i”mﬁlﬁ things.

Senator Mc¢Donald, and a desire to promote the personal fortunes of some | other person at the expense of that gentleman. The fact of the matteris | that the proposition of Mr. McDonald to Mr. Morton was only an ordinary exercise of parliamentary courtesy between colleagues. It involved nothing bub an agreement that if Morton got into the District of Columbia, Mr. MceDonald wouid *pair off” with him at times to save him from going to the Senate. This is certain by no unfaithfulness to his trust on the part of Mr. MecDonald, for any person with a grain of sense or fairness must know that if Mr. Morton gets into the District he will be in the .Senate upon' every occasion of importance, and that when unable to be there Mr.McDonald’s proposition does not hold. The Sentinel and other papers of the same ilk have already disgusted miany members of our own party with their brutality; and now we insist that if they desire to destroy and discredit Mr. McDonald, the faithful veteran democratic wheel horse, they take some other pretext

than a simple act of courtesy and decency, which is rather creditable to him than otherwise. e, O PP— Crimes and Casualties. The bodies of Abner James and wife were found near Roseville, Ohio, Wednesday morning of last week. James had a bullet hole in his breast, and Mrs. James one in the back. She was James® second wife. They having some past difficulty, it is supposed that Mrs. James was coming home, and was followed by James, as she was ghot near her mother’s house. It was shown at the coroner’s inquest that they walked from Putnam, Ohio, to ‘within a quarter of a mile of - her mother’s house, whén James, it is supposed, tried to get from her a note for $7OO, which she had pinned to her un-der-garments, as her elothes were torn open in front. She ran, and he shot her in the back, and then shot himself through the heart. Mrs. James draggede herself to where James lay, and, took the revolver and shot herself in the temple, as she had the revolver in her death-grip. : o A farmer by the name of Jacob Giv--ens, living some three miles from Mal--ta, 111, has a girl about 20 years old, who is said to be not very bright, and she lately confided to her friends the bad news that she was enceinte, and that her cousin Charles Givens was -the cause. Her brother Floyd learning of the situation met his cousin on the street Monday of last week and asked him to marry his sister. Charles refusing,; he (Floyd) fired two shots, both taking fatal effect. Floyd is under arrest. i ' A dreadful calamity happened Thurs-, day night, Sept. 27, at St. Gregory, six miles from St. Johns. The dwelling house of a -Canadian farmer, named Achete, took fire during the night, and the flames spread with rapidity that seven children and-a grown girl were unable to escape, and met their deaths. Five of the children were burned to death, and three were suffocated by smoke close to the place of exit. The father of the family 1s in California, the mother was at home, and barely escaped with her life. e - At Monroeville, near Fort Wayne, on Sunday night, Sept. 30, a girl of respectable family, named Annie Coivle, gave birth to an illegitimate child, which she secreted in a manure pile near her house, where it was discov‘ered after thirty-six hours, still alive. The babe presented a most sickening appearance, its eyes being filled with ‘maggots, and worms crawling over its bedy. It was at last accounts living, but cannot survive. The girl said George Stemmer, Jr., was her seducer, and caused his arrest. He is out on bail. 'T'he mother’s condition is very critical. ‘Wm. R. Cooper is a San Francisco forger 1n amounts aggregating over $50,000. It is now known that he is the person who in 1867 cemmitted heavy forgeries on the government while employed in the navy department. He martied a daughter of Government Printer Defrées, and was arrested on his wedding day, and finally consigned to Moyamensing prison, Philadelphia, for five years. He is supposed to have gone to New Orleans since his flight. , -~ i At Ellicott City, Maryland, on Monday of dlast; week, James R. Hawkins, colored, was sentenced to be hanged for the brutal outrage of- Ida Schafer, a girl of 14, The, crime was one of the most brutal on record, Hawkins barely escaped lynching.

This step is said to have been decided upon in consideration of the condition of the money market.— Persons Who claim to have knowledge of Sherman’s intentions say that; he will recommend to Congress that the 4 per cent. bonds be made exchangeable for greenbacks at par, and that the greenbacks thus obtained be retired.— This statement, however, is not made upon the authority of Secretary Sherman himself, and it cannot be definitely stated that such is his purpose, but it is well understood that he is in favor of popularizing the Government - securities. ~ b : et < — | Heavy Storm---Railroad Accidents.
