The result of Tuesday’s election in this State is anything but satisfactory or gratifying to the Democrats. Contrary to expectation the Republigans have captured the State by from 6,000 to 7,000 majority, electing their entire State tieket, a majority of the Legislature, and.eight out of thirteen members of Congess. .

~ The Republicans make large gains in manufacturing districts. The tarifi question seerss to have been of sorvice to them after al - L

Congressman Colerick: is re-elected in this district, by a largely reduced majority. He ran ahead of his ticket in nearly e\fex'y county éxcept his own. The Greenbackers generally supported it | .

Capt. Hiram Iddings defeats Mr

'Shu;gi; forJ ‘oinﬁ;Represeutativfe by several hundred may o'rity.; Mr. Shutt led his ticket handsomely in DeKalb, but Elkhart was too much for him. .

Igoscitlsko county gives Porter 774 majority, the largest majority ever given in that county. . The democratic majority in Allen county is reduced about 1,000. ~ DeKalb county elsets the demoeratic county ticket with the exception of Sheriff. Landers’ majority is 82, a democratic loss of 107 since 1876. Colerick’s majority is 180, | * Steuben county gives Porter about 1,000 majority. Taylor’s majority over Colerick is a few hundred less. v

~ Lagrange county gives Porter 930 majority, a gain of 51. The Greenback vote amounts to 121, ‘ v

Elkhart county gives over 500 rg-pub-lican majority. '

St. Joseph county shows a republican gain of about 200.. . The defeat of our excellent State ticket is a subject of deep regret. It deserved a better fate. There has been mismanagement somewhere, though the influence wielded by the barrels of money which were at the command of the Reépublicans was difficult to counteract. ;

s OHIO.

CoLUuMBUS, October 13.—Both committees have reliable and full returns from all but twenty counties in the Staté, The Republican majority will be about 20,000 on all the ticket, except Secretary of State. ' The Republicans claim and the Democrats concede the First, Second, Third Fourth, .Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Ilighteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth Congressienal Districts by decided majorities. The Damocrats have carried the Fifth, Seventh, Thirteenth and Fourteenth, Thisisone more than the Republicans meant their opponents should have when the present infamous Redistrieting law was enacted, but is a less number than the Democrats haye elected for ten years. Considering the odds, the Democrats

iin Ohic made a splendid fight. The vote is astonishingly large. The re r turns indicate that the total vote wilE ‘exceed 700,000, and 50,000 more votes are polled than were eyer cast in Ohio before. Oliio cast a vote for three and a fraction of population, a'larger vote ﬂ" proportion to population than ani ’State in the Union. In this eity th ‘census returns show 10,000 males over twenty-one years of 'age, and over 11,000 votes were polled. It can only ‘be accounted for by fraud. Nearly 1 per cent. of the vote cast Tuesday is fraudualent. The Oectober position oj Ohio has drawu the corruption fun from (he treasury of the great political parties, and the destinies of Ohio and of the repablic itself have been deter: ‘mined by a vagabond vote. The negro. vote—-ignorant, irresponsible, and unintelligent, as it is—has proven the Bavidr of republicanism in Ohio. Nearly two thousand negro votes were cast in this city, and at least thirty thousand in Ohie. The greenback vote has disappeared. The total Probibition vote will not exceed three thousand, and five thousand will cover the greenback and scattering vote, . The returns from the counties where the Greenbackers were strongest last year shew this vote has gone back to the old parties whence it came. i _The bull-dezing of laboring men by their employers was general throughout the State. In this city several large mapufacturing firms virtually issued orders to their employes as to how they slhould vote. Dollars, and not men, do the thinking and voting in this farcical government of ours. | Hardy, eorrespondent of the Philar delphia Zimes, thinks that Hancock stands an equs! show with Garﬁelﬁ for election. « The fight will be trans: ferred to Connecticut and New Jersey. Governor English, of Connecticut, is ¢ strong man, - was never beaten, anﬁ will carry the State. New Yoik ;f reasonably sure for the Democracy. He says a most terrible campaign wil/l be waged in those States. The Republicans will not be able to concentrat their money on one spot as they did ir Indiana, and that if the Ohio Democracy are shrewd they can make a goop fight up to the November election,and can afford a -diversion that. will axltl the National Democracy. If English, of Indiana, does not manifest a disposition tocarry his State, steps will 3‘3‘ taken to make the ticket Hancock and English, of ‘Connecticut. This step would - certainly, ‘he thinks, .‘secu#c Connecticuy to the, Democracy. ;

WEST VIRGINIA.

W iRELING, W, Va.,October 13.—The returns received here up to midnight from different portions of the State indicate a largely increased vote over any previous eiection, and a corgesponding increase in the democratic. majority. The Demoeracy, singiehanded aud alone, agaiust the combined forces: of ths Republicans and Greenbackers, the hard mopey and the soft money elements, the Sturgiss and Weaver and Walker combinations, with all the other truck and Dyker devices and schemes for the overthrow of _ the dominant party, has not only prevailed, but will show a largely increased vote, and a more compiete and signal triumph than it has ever before achieved in the State. Evexi in the stronghold of the Greenbackers in Kanawha county, the returns indicate 1 that the democratic State and county tickets have a good majority. Retgrus | from that heretofore stanch greenback localily, the Third Congressional district, show large democratic gains; both on the State and local tickets. The Democrats now eclaim .the State by 20,000, which is 6,000 more ihan Tilden received in 1876. Notwithstanding the fact that the Republicans and Greenbackers united on many caudidates for the Legislature in| diffenent parts of the State, yet the Democrats will have nearly aftwo-t}lirds mdjority in both branches, Tho Rad--Icals, with their dickering witﬁ the Greenbacliers, confidently expected to carry the Legislature, and thereby gain a United States Senator., But they have signally failed, and their defeat is an overwhelming one. - The Democracy of West Virginia has come forth from the contest with honor to their cause and a glorious victory upon their banners. | The feeling in this city is not one of despondency, notwithstanding the news from outside the State; but every Democrat is feeling jubilant, and positive thaton the 2d of November they will roll up a majority larger, and march thereafter to victory under the glorious banner of Hancock, “the Superb.,” -~ | -7

' New York was a democratic State even in 1868, when the passions of ' the war were hot. There ig no doubt that the democratic electoral ticket will be chosen in New York inj November, and New Jersey will vote with New York. No West€rn votd, however given, could affect this fact about the vote of New York. The majority mightbe affected by emotigns—and emotions a month old become emotions no longer—but the Empire State that voted for IHoratio Seymour in 1868 will vote for Hancock in 1880. -New Jersey, will vote with New York, and only three Electoral votes are needed to give the Presideilcy to the hero 6f Gettysburg. There are three millions of Domocrats in the North. There is a democratic majority of of more than half a million in the United States. 'T'wo-thirds of the Democrats ©f the Union are in the.Northern-States. They will assert themselves in Novewmber. The negro vote in |Ohio and Indiana on Tuesday was suqn an outrage upon suffrage as those tTJO States have wnever before. known. In this city the republican majorities were cast, without law, before eight o'clock, or before seven o’clock,| or, perhaps, before half-past Bix o’clock on Tuesday morning, and the sable men who cast the majorities have alreaay left the city for their homes.| In November all the States vote. ﬁTegroes cannot vote in Cincinnati and New York on the same day. The maney of the republican party, which was &oncentrated upon Ohio and Indiana last Tuesday, will lind uses inmore than two. States in No-: vember.

THE DPANGER AHBAD;

- Whatever success the. Republicans may have had in the recent election, was due. to the use of means.entirely outside of legitimate political warfare. Never before in the history of American politics were- efficial power and patronage, money and coergion of employes so boldly resorted to for control-ing-votes. Millions of money, the power of the General Government, and the power of capital over labor, never . before were brought to. bear upon the ballot-box to anythinglike the extent to which .tliese base means were emiployed during the campaign just closed.. It -isa sad thing te “contemplate, since to- the man who can rise above the excitement of the moment and calmly consider ‘the tendency of this method of controling elections;it means the beginning of the end of the liberty of the people; =~ - . = o

'*. Whenever’ the people of this country, from any cause, cease to eujoy . ‘perfect freedom -in the exercise of the right of suffrage, that momeng-our Re- - ‘publican institutivns are endangered. Iv is.a-start 'upon,the;,’road‘,tjo‘-mo’na’réhy‘, ‘and unless the people speedily retrace their steps and repudiate the-men and ‘the party resorting to such means for—~ retaining their hold upon power, they will be powerless to resist the encroachments of tyranny. Thisis a sabject demanding more than partisan consideration. . It demrands the serious reflection’ of every man who would pre- - serve.our fres Government and protect ‘the people -in the exercise of: those rights and lberties guaranteed to them , by the "Constifutiop. 1t the free use of ‘money: and offictal power and” pat-. ronage can. controt elections to-day, may they notdoso more readily in the future? - Where will it end? These questions.‘demand considerdtion, and we trust the people, before permitting such a result. may reflect upon:the tendency of ‘this method of overriding public sentiment.—7'oledo Times. !

- That thers was . fraud, corruption and repeating on the part of the Repnblicans cannot "be gainsaid.” The evidence was palpable. Colored men were marched up in squads,and voted time after time with impunity. They were not arrested because the Republican Marghals refused to takeanyone into custody - unless a commitment was made out.on the spot.. The whole municipal-machinery wasin the hands of republican oflicials, and they abused their authurity in the most shameful and flagrant manger. In the Foarth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Eighteenth wards,the colored brother. was found in force, and every oune of them had a pistol furnishied them by their “bosses,” the republican strikers. . I'ne. workhouse, the jail andthe station-house. were emptied ot ‘all"'who. would prom- - ise to vote the republican ticket; mou- . ey was haudled as though (it was nothing but Brown paper; false swear= ing was done with a vecklessuess and abandon almost Sublime; the repeater repeaLL;Q»xm.‘l astonisniog percinhmcy, and jevery disreputabls moans was ased to swell the republican gaius. Droyes of eimnployes were marched up tothe polls. and. directed to vote as their bosses dictated, under the penal-: ty of instant dismissal it they refused +a beautiful exemplification of the boasted frecdom of the ballot under republican institutions. That there was no. mere bad blood manifested than was witnessed yesterday speaks well for the forbearance and respect for order that characterizéd the conduct of the Democracy whom their -opponents -goaded by unblushingly boasting:of ‘their power to buy as many votes as they wanted from the colored element andthe criminal classes. That it was not a vain assertion is ‘proven by the result, which will show that the veote has got away with the census. The scenes last night were Bimply disgraceful. . Republican money was spent lavishly for whisky, and this working upon the enthusiasm engendered by success, created a pandemonium that was kept up till a late bhour this morning. ~ ...« .

‘The negroes-of our Sister Southern States cultivated friendly relations with our Northern people yesterday. They seemed to be attached to us. The industry of the ‘colored people was neyer more apparent-than it was yes-l terday in this city. ° The colored gen--tleman is a talented and industrious voter. - The result: of the election in this city is largely due to his talents and Industry. -An ordinary negrocan vote where he has a right to vote, but it requires .a negro of falent to vote where he has no right to vote, and only a negro of industry can vote repeatedly where he'has not even ‘a residence. The election in Cincinnati seems to have been largely determined by negro & falent industriously and early exerciged yesterday: -~ -= o
