For President. ULYSSES S. GRANT. For Vice President. HENRY WILSON.
The Elections. The election., ot last Tuesday resulted in a complete Republicantriumph; Pennsylvania, where the Liberals oftenest tamed' their eyes with expeotatiou and hope, notwithstanding the (Usaffection in our party, elects the entire Republican ticket by upwards of 25,01)0 majority—the largest majority evtr giveu for the Republican party in twelve years, unless, possibly, we -except that given Grant in 1868. . Ohio, without any great deal of excitement*nd ver^ little canvassing, counts out 15,000 to 18,000 Republican majority. Indiana is very close on governor, State officers and Congressman at large, but the last report we have received up to the hour of going to press gives the State to by 500 majority with five counties yet to hear from. It is thought to have gone Republican by a small majority. Notwithstanding the closeness-of the countis on the State ticket we have secured the Legislature and will Lave a clear working majority of ten to fifteen on joint ballot, tbjjb . defeating —Hon. Thomas 'A." Hendricks for the United States Senate and securing a Republican successor to Mr. Morton—which will probably be himself. We have certainly gained two Members in Congress—Moi ton C. Hunter who defeats Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees in the sixth district, and Judge Cason who defeats H<>n. M. D. Manson in the seventh district. Nebraska nearly doubles the Republican majority of 1870 wlftch was 2,500. In New Jersey the local elections indicate large Republican gains. The result of Tuesday’s voting summed up, is, Grant will be elected in November by a largely in- "■ Creased majority over 1868* and the Democratic party will probably disband and abandon its name. In Pulaski county the Republicans made a terrible inroad upon tlie Democracy who for years and years have had upwards of 300 majority on everything. Last Tuesday the Repuldieans elected Dr. Hartman Auditor by 185 majority and Bruckcr for Recorder by a handsome vote. We congratulate our friends of Pulaski; a light is breaking in the east which will grow into perfect day.
