Tax Legislature is Democratic on joint ballot, and Ben Harrison does not go to the United States Senate.

GEN. MORTON C. HUNTER, the National Bank Congressman from the Vigo District, is defeated. Glorious.

- THE National Banks must have had a special fancy for Elkhart county, or. Eikhart county for the National ‘Banks; hard to tell which. . !

‘NOBLE COUNTY oeccupies a proud position among the democratic counties of Indiana. She has a number of capital good wotkers in most of the townships. ba i .

"THE Republicans of the Ft. Wayne District did not have a candidate for Congress in thie field. ? Some voted for Colerick, others for Studebaker, and many of them not at all. |

THE National Banks will have to put up the rate of discount. The contributions to theelections on Tuesday will have mbé'made up by the poor borrowers. / ;

THE effort to connect S. J. Tilden with the steal of the Marquette mining books has been unsuccessful. The cipher dispatches have been translated and show that he neither sent or received any of the telegrams.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 9.—Midnight— Returns from four hundred precincts, being about 35 per cent. of the vote of the State,-have a falling off of 6 per cent. from the vote of 1876, and indicate the election of the demoecratic State ticket by a majority ranging from 10,000 to 14,000. The national vote will reach 80,000, ‘being an increase of 12,000 over 1874, 14,000 over 1876. Thie exact status of

!THE LEGISLATURE is not definitely known, but enough is determined to.indicate that the Republicans will be able to control neither branch of it. The Senate .will stand 24 Democrats, 1 National, and 25 Republicans. In the House the Republicans will have from 40 to 45, giving the Democrats 51 certain and possibly 654, with the remainder to'the Nationals. It is very generally conceded that this will return Mr. Voorhees to the Senate. ;

THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION still stands as follows: TFirst District, William Heilman, Republican; Second, i’homas R. Cobb, Democrat; Third, George A. Bicknell, Democrat; Fourth, Jeptha D. New, Democrat; Fifth, Thomas M. Browne, Republican; Sixth, William R. Meyers, Democrat; Seventh, Gilbert De La Matyr, Democrat and National; Eighth, A. J. Hostetter, Democrat; Ninth, Godlove 'S. Orth, Republican; Tenth; William,H. Calkins, Republican ; Eleventh, Calvin . Cowgill, Republican; Twelfth, Walpole Colerick, Democrat; Thirteenth, John . Baker, Republican, making six Republicans and seven Democrats. :

' ORTII'S ELECTION ' : is Ly no means certain. His majority, without Boone county, is 24. Orth’s majority in Boone county is one vote. This elects him by 26 majority. The present delegation stands 9 republicans and 4 Democrats; Heilman’s majority is about 800, Browne’s 1,000, and Baker’s 1,500. Sexton is defeated by about.6oo, Grose between 800 and 1,000, and Hunter by 800. ‘Hanna runs behind his ticket 500 in Hendricks and is defeated by about 850.

: - MARION COUNTY is carried by the Reputblicans for all except treasurer, probate judge, and one superior court judge. The majorities range from 300 to 1,200. One township is yet to hear from, bufts enough is known to put the national vote at between 1,800 and 1,900. Last spring at the township election:the Nationals cast 2,800. =

ELECTION NOTES.

The vote in Sparta township is rather light. - The republican majority has been reduced nearly one-half. Those “pasters” in Perry township didn’t count very big in Prof: Merrill’s favor. ] :

Wayne township covered herself with glory. R L . Will Curry promised 40 majority for Stoll in. Elkhart township. The official vote gives 39. Close guessing. Swan township did her duty splendidly. There are some good workers down. there. :

- The Republicans of Sparta township were rather severe on Mr. Ulmer. Perry township placed herself in the democratic ranks on the highest vote ever’ polled. She gave her last democratic majority in 1856.. The world does move. ’ f

Judge Tousley is a host as a campaigner. ; ! The Berry Brothers, at Swan, are entitled to lasting gratitude for their excellent . services during the campaign just closed. . “If you can’t vote for me, vote for Baker,” is said to have been Colonel Williams’ advice to the Nationals of Steuben county. - ¢ - Riding two horses was not a winning game, as Nelson Prentiss has had occasion to discover.

Jake Shauck didn’t prove much ofa “dead weight” after all. Ile seems to have been a very sprightly nag, judging from the returns. : i C—————— THE FIGHT MUST GO ON. The election is over in Indiana, but the discussion of questions bearing directly upon the welfare of the people is not likely to cease until the remedies demanded are applied. The people demand greenbacks instead of national bank notes, because they are better and cheaper. “The saving to “the people,” says the Boston Globe, “by the use of greenbacks is easily “computed, and forms an important “item in the discussion of the financi“al question. The greenbacks now “ outstanding amount to $346,000,000. “ Computing interest on this sum at “the lowest rate at which the govern“ment can borrow money, 4 per cent., “and we have an annual saving to the “people, resulting from the use of the “greenbacks, 6f $18,840,000. But if “greenbacks were substituted for the “$322,000,000 of national bank notes “now outstanding, there would be a “further saving to the people of 4 per

“cent..annually on that sum, namely, “sl2.BBo,ooo—making a total annual “gaving by the use of the greenback “of $26,720,00. From this, however, “ deduct the taxes on their circulation “paid by the banks, amounting to “about $06,000,000 annually, and the “ net saving would be about $28,720,*“000. Perhaps, in strictness, this de“duction for taxes ought not to be “made, for it is probable that the “banks throw the burden of the taxa“tion upon their customers, who in “turn shift it to the shoulders of those “with whom they deal, until, like all “ other taxation, it finally falls upon “the great body of consumers, the peo“ple. The greenback saves us now “$18,000,000 annually, and ¢an be eas“ily made to save $23.000,000 directly.” - Cor. WiLLiAMs must have been somewhat excited while delivering his WW‘WMWW

He made three appointments—one at Metz, one at Woodworth S. H., and one at Pleasant Lake—-and then jumped the rest. There were 16 of the bolter’s tickets voted in this place, and 9 of them had Baker’'sname on, and so you will readily see where the trouble is that we had to contend with. S 0

The Work in Allen Township.

AVILLA, Oct. 9th.—We .make large democratic gains, in spite of the tremendous efforts that have been made here to entrap Democrats. All sorts of tricks were resorted to by republican workers to gain votes for Baker, Prentiss and Smith, by swapping off the Republican State ticket. Ed. Spencer made a special fight for Baker and Smith. Similar tactics were used in adjoining townships, doubt!ess in obedience to orders from headyuarters.

DeKalb County.

Democratic majority on State ticket, 222. Stoll’s majority over Baker, 275. The Greenback State ticket polled 456 votes. Hon. S. S. Shutt, Dem., is elected to the Legislature by a round majority. . The Republicans elect the Clerk, Auditor and Sheriff. Bad work this. Some of the Greenback candidates for county offices polled quite a heavy vote. o e il

The Meaning of Tuesday’s As Interpreted Just Before the S R e : What It Will Mean. WAsHINGTON, D. C, October 7.—A Democratic defeat in Ohio to-morrow will be accepted by the Administration to mean that resumption shall be accomplished by January 1, 1879; an indorsement of and the continuatien of the National ‘Banking system ; an endorsement of the acts of the President and his Cabinet; an indorsement of the Money Power and corporations against the people; a repudiation of thé “Ohio Idea” at home, to be followed by the employment of the all-pow-erful means of the Government to crush it out; an endorsement of t,he\ contraction of the currency by aény'i means within the law which Sherman in his hocus-pocus policy may see fit to use; an invitation to further continue the grasp which Wall street now has upon the country; a condonement of the fraud by which the Presiden-! tial office was given to Hayes: a rebuke and rebuff to the financial legislation accomplished at the last session of Congress, including therSilver Bill; an affirmation that Secretary Sherman’s acts are approved by his own people; a further locking up of the currency ; and, worse than all that, Ohio gives notice to the States to hold elections in November that the gallant fight which its people have made against rings, corporations and Money Power has been madein vain. On the other hand, a victory by the Dem‘ocrats to-morrow will serve notice on Hayes that Sherman’s policy of ruin must be stopped; that the people no longer intend to be the victims of the National Banks; that the greenback muss take the place of National Bank currency, and the banks be wiped out. Suach a vietory will also be a notice served to the second session of the Forty-fifth Congress, whiéh convenes in December, that the Resumption Act must be repealed ; that the greenback must no longer be ostracised to build gold up; that the bondholder’s dollar shalt be the greenpack, as it is the poor man’s dollar; that imports shall be paid in greenbacks instead of 1 gold; that the greenback shall be exchanged for the silyer dollar, as the law intended it should be; that the poor man shall purchase his bonds from his earnings with greenbacks; that there shall be equal taxation and one currency for all. As goes Ohio’s verdict to-morrow, so will the Administration - act. It awaits anxiously the result, - : . S e _ : 011110.

Republican State Ticket Elected. — Eleven Democratic and Nine Repu b- ' lican Congressmen. . A DIMINISHED VICTORY. CoLuMBUS, O, Oct. 9.—The rousing republican victory by the republicans last night has grown beautifully less during the day.- The republicans, being greatly surprised at carrying the State at all, became dazed, lost their heads, and sent the most extravagant telegrams to all parts of the country, claiming the State ticket elected by fifteen or twenty .thousand majority and a majority of the B

OHIO DELEGATION IN CONG RESS. This morning returns began ¢oming in from the interior of the State which materially reduced the majority ion the State ticket, and to-night the republicans only claim eight thousand on the State ticket and nine Congressmen, thus giving a majority of the Ohio delegation to the democratic party. At the democratic headquarters to-night reports from various portions of the State weére received which cut down the republican majority to 5,000, The following :

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMEN are known to be elected; Geddes, Fifteenth; Atherton, Fourteenth; Warner, Thirteenth; Dickey, KEleventh; Ewing, Tenth; Converse, Ninth; Finley, Eighth; Hurd, Seventh; Hill, Sixth; Lefevre, Fifth, and McMahon in the Third District. It is also conceded that Si b

' THE REPUBLICANS : have elected nine Congressmen, as follows: Butterworth, First; Young, Second; Xeifer, Fourth; Neal, Twelfth ; McKinldy, Sixteenth; Monroe,: Seventeenth, Updegraff, Eighteenth; Garfield, Nineteenth, and Townsend in the Twentieth District. Thus far official returns have been received from v < i FORTY-EIGHT COUNTIES, but the majority cannot be judged from those thus far reported, as the ratio will not hold good in computing the majorities from the balance of the State.

The other portion of the train was saved by the exertiouns of the train men at the risk 'of their own lives, but all of them escaped injury. About 18,000 gallons of oil were consumed. The accident involves a loss of about $15,000. are

A most extraordinary funeral occurred at Mankato, Minn., last week. The diphtheria broke out in the family of Mr. Samuel Randall, and carried off four of his children within four days. The bodies of two other children, who had died some time previously, and had been buried in an old cemetery, were disinterred, and the six little coffins, carried to the graveyard at the same time, afforded a sad and uausual spectacle. An immense concourse of sympathizing friends and neighbors gathered about the family-mansion, to attest their sorrow for the grief-stricken parents,

The manner of highway robbery in the Black Hills is illustrated by the recent capture of a stage coach, in which was zold worth $27,000. The treasure was in an iron safe, and was guarded by five well-armed men.— There were no passengers. The robbers first took possession of a log house, binding and gagging the only inmate, and removed the mud from the chinks, so that they could see and shoot through :the openings. 'When the stage came along they fired from their ambush, killing two. of the guards and seriously wounding another. The remaining two fled. The driver was bound. 'The robbers then opened the box with sledges and carried away the gold on horseback. The yellow fever is rapidly spreading to the small towns and villages of Louisiana, and is causing great suffering and destruction. Last Thursday ' the Secretary of War received a telegram from the New Orleans Relief Committee asking for rations to be distributed among the destitute and saying that this request was made because aid had been refused by the Howard ,A,z‘ﬁpcinﬁon.': ‘The Secretary declined ntniﬂ*li?‘ff ‘h"] dﬁiﬁ d relief on the ground that it is reported that the | Howard Association has & large | amount of money on hand and has dis- | os oet ln ik« BRI e erto? cpsolies o i | self for judging of the necessities of Ithesituabion.. .. . 0 o o b S AR e o e ASek i e T AR SRR

Reports from all parts of the State notice an increase in the acreage of wheat being sown. The bountiful crop has encouraged farmers to turn their attention more to this grain.

A solitary canvass covered 'wagon passed through our streets on Monday evening last with the picture of sad despair and distress pictured on the faces of its occupants.

Miss Moser, a young lady -of Indianapolis, was shot in a peculiar manner last week. While sweeping the floor of the parlor, her broom brushed against a loaded revolver lying on the floor, beldnging to her brother, which was thereby discharged, theball nearly penetrating her right lung below the breast.

The Money Power’s Work., [Cincinnati Enquirer, Oct, 9.] ; The Money Power was never before so visible in' an Ohio election as on yesterday. Hundreds of dollars were paid to men apparently without influence, and with such freedom as to indicate that there were thousands behind the hundreds. The federal government was moved into town, and the spectacle, unprecedented in Ohio, was presented of the federal government appearing as a corruptor of suffrage. Deputy marshals in unknown numbers were secretly appointed at five dollars per diem, who went about. in citizens’- clothes voting and electioneeripg for the republican party. With all these appliances it is amazing that the State was not lost to the democrats. Money flowed freely in every copgressional district where there was hope of electing a republican member. Personal attacks were made upon democratic candidates. Trading was resorted to; and this partly egf)]ains‘ the result on the State ticket. The republicans, by making this vehement attack in congressional districts, have probably succeeded in gefting a small majority on ‘the State . ticket, 'pe_rha%s" 5,000 or 10,000 votes. The Money Power is not conqueror in this great continental State.

Less Politics. - e : (Fort Wayne Sentinel,) The campaign is over at last, and most people will be heartily glad of it. Elections are entirely too frequent in: this country, and the unfortunate voters are kept stirred up by politicians and ‘office-seekers the greater part of the time. The campaign just closed was long and tedious. Not more than six or eight weeks should be devoted to any State- canvass, That affords time to organize forces, and present all the issues to the voters. . The people can stand the strain that long, but a campaign' of ‘half a year’s, length is preposterous, It is wearing upon the candidates and oth- . digeieuygnmw&%:m becomes almost insufferable to the people. So the Sentinel said la RM‘ 6 convention, and },',;:
