Show THE ELECTIONS. Further election returns confirm con-firm our opinion expressed yesterday morning. The Democrats have lost nothing and gained something. They have evidently gained two or three Congressmen in Pennsylvania. Ohio practically stands as it was; the Republicans Re-publicans have gained two new Congressional Con-gressional district and lost two of their - old ones. Iowa stands as it did before, be-fore, thorough Republican. In Indiana Indi-ana the contest has been closest, and there the Democrats have won. They elect at least six members of Congress, probably seven, out of eleven, while in the present Congress they have but four. They also carry the State ticket; and as the telegram to Senator Morton says the Legislature is doubtful, it is probable they have a majority there as well. The carrying of Indiana was deemed cf such importance by the Republicans that Vice President Colfax, Senator 3Iorton, ' Governor Baker and other prominent men of the party entered warmly and personally into the campaign. cam-paign. Whether the fact of the "smil-ing "smil-ing Schuyler" having interfered had anything to do with the Democratic - victory it is difficult to say. Probably it had; his "luck" is not k bright as it was when he was carried into the Vice-Presidency Vice-Presidency on the shoulders of his party. |
