OFFICIAL VOTE OF JASPER COUNTY, OCTOBER 10 th, 1876.

Repnblioaas have cauaa to rejolce over the result Ot the election in Indiana. While the democracy have elected their candidate for governor and probably a felt tioket of state offioera, their majority has been rednoed from 18,000' of two years ago to about 8,000, a loss of lft.000; and republicans have gained four or flee members of con* gress and a amall majority ia the legislature on joint ballot. Tbiaia by a« aaeane aa overwhelming victory for either party, Tat it is calculated to inspire eoc£d«neo rather than cause depression among republic so s. Democrats may olalm a victory in eleetlitg their state tioket—they may Are cannon, tight bonfires, illuminate their houses, jubilate and make merry over Hie result—but another such victory would prove their annihilation, and their rejoicing is not the exultation of conquerors who have destroyed an enemy but le an expression of thankfulness for having escaped utter extinction themselves. The most they can claim is a drawn battle ifi which they have lost important positions and large numbers. Republicans have all they commenced with ki the engagement, and more too. They madsT inrbads everywhere. They have reduced the democratic majority in the state five-sixths; they have eaptured the legislature; they have gained--five representatives in congress aftdhibw have nine of the ' thirteen *wfle«i they only had tour; they have also made gains of county officers by hundreds. Tht .practical result of the campaign ia decidedly m • favor of the republicans, and to Inspire them with a 'determination to renew their efforts for the success of their presidential tioket in November. The political history of Indiana is Inspiring to republicans. In 1888 they succeeded 1n •electing governor Baker by lees than 1,000 majority while-Übey-oir-ried the state by 10,000 atithe sudrteeding November election. - In #8«8 they lost the govern orbyoesrly 4,900 bat curried their electoral ticket through with over 22,000 /majority. Both history and. the great ad' sntges gained in the campaign jastsloaed cam bine to inspire «w nptJh hope of certain victory in JLndinna nejct njoetk. buuid by yoarpriqciplca,rsf>iiblieaiiaJ Bland by yonr Aaiors, and on -the 9th day of next Wflmlh charge upon she Mfruny for Hayes and victory. • At .mi i jjaasua—W jasper county republicans have cause for congratulation far the part they bare borne in - the Campaign which has just , been a»r eluded.

Although spoken ia irony our friend has thanks for the high estimation of the 'ability of Tan Union which he so frankly expresses; bat with the light dheemiufted by the brilliant victory woo in “Jasper sad adjoining eounties" oa last Tuesday by the republican party over the oombined forces of democracy and indepeodeat-greonbeokism it is oar candid sentiment test tea ravings of ten thousand subsidised editor* would net have changed tee result Oae thing more in regard to “retaining” editors and “speaking for the serrioen of organs:” It is thk We hare frequently heard that tee loudest in the mob to cry “stop thief” is the guilty scoundrel himself, and the severest prude is the female of questioned reputation.

John P. Derr Bo*. of White oounty, republican, was abated joint representative in tho general aasembly for the eounties of White and Jasper by a majority of B*l oyer O. B» Moist ire of Jasper, in- j depood SUt and democrat. Wh)ll county gave him 48 majority and Jasper 811. Ia Carpenter and Jordan townships a few democrats remained steadfast to the independent-green-back tioket, bat elsewhere in Jasper they gave it the grand bounee generally. They were shouting for Cooper before eleetion but intended to vote tor Bias Jesns all the time. Henry & Travis of Benton oounty, republican, is sleeted prosecuting attorney lor the 80th judicial circuit over Ira W. Yeoman of Jasper, independent and democrat, by an aggregate majority of 157. His majority ia Jasper ooanty wee 193, Newton 184 and Benton 180 for Yeoman. It it estimated that Judge Harrington, eondidete fbr governor on the independent greenback tioket, reoeived between 5,000 and 7,000 votes. £eite a dropping down from the 50,000 to 70,000 estimate of their strength in the early part of the campaign. Ohio ropablieans elect their state ticket by 8,000 or 10,000 majority, and carried twelve of the twenty eongresrional districts. Coant twenty-two electoral votes for Hayes from Ohio. In two years the independent strength in this county baa dwindled from 418 down to 180, nearly all of them' having gone back, to the democracy.
