Thoy have smashed that hugo ma- jority to picces, and have planted their flag within the onemy's intrenchments, One, moro charge will carry the works, and thoy are going to do it on the 7th of Novomber with a rush and o shout, TILDEN'S DEFEAT. Tho defoat of TILDEN may now be accepte ed as an ascertnined cortainty. The elections in Ohio and Indinna have both shown the inability of the Democratic party to make tho loast nggressive impress uponthe Ropub- licanparty. In Vermont the Ropublicans lost one or two thousand of the majority, but the loss was too trifling to indicato tho least change 'of popular sentimont in favor of the Democrats. In Maine, after a vigorous as- snult, thd Republican majority remained al- most undiminished. In tho now State of Colorado, where, two years age, the Demo- crats had 2,000 mnjority, the Republicans wore able not only to recover the State, but to roverso this majority, 1In this campaign the Republican party had to recover the ground lost in the overwholm- In that yoar they hind lot State Governments, Stato Legislatures, and members of Congress, awd a large popular majority was rolled up agninst thom in many Republicau8tates, as in Ohio, Now York, Massachusetts, Indiana, sud Illi- nois, and Ropublican mojorities were reducod in Mickigon and Wisconsin to a minimum, In tho meantime, both parties wore to somo oxtent divided on tho curronoy question, In 1875, the struggle was precipitated in Ohio in tho contest between IHAyves and Artew, and, after an unprecedented cfforton both sides, the Republicansrecovered the Stato by 5,000 majority, Tho campaign openod under more than ordinary embarrassments. 'The contest for tho Cincinnati nomination was bitter and in. tense; soversl able andpopular men wero de- fonted, to the great disappointmont of their frionds; the candidate selocted, though one of the nblost statesmen aund purest patriots in tho country, had not been as conspicnons in national politics as many of his compoti- tors. Tho Democrats selocted as their candi. dato a man then gonerally and favorably known to the country as a great reformer, who, as o Democrat, had volunteored to do- stroy T'wrep and bring him totrinl, and who, as Governor of New York, lind broken up the great Cannl Ring which bad maintained its power for forty years. This samo man was recognizedas a veteran politiclau, the great or~ gauizor of party victories, an able and success. ful Iawyer, and a man willing to spend of his enormous wealth to nid the party, ' The second mau on the Democratlo ticket was selected because of his residenco in the Btats of Indiana,—one of the States whoso voto wns absolutely essentinl to the sloction of the Demooratic ticket. Under these cir- cumstances the campaign opened. The cry of Roform was intousified by tho exposures,e truo and falso, of the thirty so-called inves- tigating commlttees of Congress. Upon this isnue of Reform the canvass has progressed,— the Ropublicans endeavoring to maintain their ground, aud recover tho loss of 1874 ; the Democrats to Lold their gains of 1874, nand to captura now ground. As we havoe shown, the Demoeraty failed to make the lenst impression in Vermout and Maine, positively lost their possession in Colorado, nnd at last ooncentrated all their efforts on Indiona and Ohio. In Ohio, the Ropub- licans bave, on their State ticket, not only hold . their majority of last year, but bave incrensed it, and gained six members of Con- gress. ‘They have boaton back the Domo- cratic party at this local eleotion; and now can givo the Btate to Haxes by 25,000 majority, Indiana was a Domooratio State before the ‘War, and in 1868 nearly returned to that party,—the Republicans electing their Gov- ernor in that year by lesa than 1,000, whilo the Stato o month later gave Gmant 10,000 majority. In 1870 the Btate voted Demo- cratic, and in 1872 elected Hexpiicrs Cov- ernor by about 1,200 majority in Qctober, sud in November gave Guant 21,000 major- ity, In1874 tho'Stato gave a Domocratio majority of 17,000, and hes now, in 1876, after the most memorablo canvass on record, given a small Republican mnjority, which will bo swollen into many thousands for Harxs in November., Considering thab Hex. puices wasnominated to scoure Indiana, that the vote of Indiana ie indispensable to the election of L1uorN, aud that the Domooratio candidates cannot bo elected withont it, the loss of Indisua practically dotermines and sottlos tho fact that T'rupEN's defent is in- evitablo; It domonstrates also tho inhorent weak- ness of the Demooratio parly, On o light vote it made a bold anssault along the wholo lino in 1874, and has not been nble to hold the ground it thon wou, From Ohio and Colorado it hina been disastrously expelled. Indiana, however, waa the keyto the position. Indinna was the great pivotal Btate, It was the Btate that was to furnish the roquived fifteen votes to eloct Trrury, The Btate has been lost; the Democracy fafled to *Hold the Fort"; nnd the Republicans have proved stronger in that Btate than they have al a State election siuce 1606, That Yaves will bave from 15,000 to 18,000 majority in Indiana fn No- vember will now hardly be quostioned.

It is the practico in Domooratio precinata for the officials to rofuse to reglstor o colored voter nnless he is vouohed for by,a white Democrat—the which is well-nigh equivalent to denialof the rightof sufirage. Itisalso tho practice, in making out the registry lists for tha uso of tho judges, to omit the names of colored voters daly registered, and who of conrso aro slraightWay challenged when they offerto vote, and sent after cortificates of registry, which are systemntically withheld. The resultis, that, by these paltry pettifogging red-tapeappliances,thonsands of the freedmen are swindled out of thelr votes, nnd thousands of others, despairing of fair play, practically surronder the right of suffrage by staying away from the polls. Thus in Mobile (city and county) in 1872 tho Republican vote was 5,988; in 1874 it ‘was 1,200 loss, and in 1876 2,000 less. This whila the population remained about sta- tionary, and the ratlo of tho blacks to the whites wns unchnnged. This syatomatio swindling, which is moroe infamous than oven Tammany’s ballot-stufling, is countenanced and porpotrated by the *“best” cikizens of Alabama—the poople of superior intelligenco who unscrupulously uso it to cheat the negroos out of their right to voto, Tha suc- cess of this rascally businoss in Alabama is what commends that plan to the rost of the South~the ex-Rebel portion of which, despite their scceptanco of the situation, are resolutely bent upon nullification of the Fiftcenth Amendment, and will be satisfled with nothing less than * kicking the nigger out of politics.” tho rulers of tho Democratio party froa nll tho Btates, Tho Confederates sro the mon who will dictate polloy and originate and control legislation, and they are dotermined that tho North shall componsato them for their losses during the War, and the Northe ern doughfaces and Copperheads will do their bidding next wintor na thoy did it be- fore the War, THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

We have given him North Carolina 10, and Louisisna 8, both of which nre almost certain to voto for Haves. Now comes the probable loss of Indiana 16, reducing tho possible vote for Tipey, including all the doubtful States, REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION. The Republican County Convention mel yostorday at Farwell Hall, and nominated the following ticket: TFor Bheriff, Jomn H. Orovon, eox-County Commissionor; for Btate’s Attornoy, Lurnen Laruiy Minis; for Clerk of the Cireuit Qourt, Jacon Gross, the prosent incumbent; for Coroner, Exg Drxrzscn, tho present indumbent; for Re- corder, Capt. J. W. Brookway; for County Commigsioner from tho Bouth 8ido, L. H. Davis, insuranco agont; from the North Bide, P, L. Hawkmsos, ex-Jnstico of the Peace; from the country, H. O. Szyne, of Niles, 8 member of tho Legislature; and from tho West Side, Geonar L. Newcoun, Iawyer, and M. J. McGrath, Superintendent of Mails in the Post-Office, ¥ Theso names indicate that the delogntes represonting the Ropublican party of this county were notuatod by other motives than those which governed the rocent Democratio Convention. The latter was dominated by the spirit of foreign Know.Nothingism, and tho detormination to * put no Americaus on guard” The native element was feobly represented among the Turner Hall riotors, It was so weak that it was not considored worth whilo to mnke any special offort to pleasoit. The ticket from top to bottom was divided among the Irish and Germauns, with the oxcoption of two insignificant mor- gols which woro contemptuously tossed over to two small American chickens, The courso of the Republicans was widely differont. /They have ncted on tho theory that some Americans should be nominated along with ropresentatives of forcign cloments, They have ' given the Germans a fair share of the nominecs, a Congressman, Coroner, Olerk of tho Circuit Court, elo. They Lave also recognized tho importanco of the Beandinavian voting population of this city by giving a'represontative of it a place upon tho ticket. They havo treated all na. tionalitics fairly, and have shown this yoar, o4 in other yoars, their entire freedom from that fecling of foreign Know-Nothingism whick kins spparently takon total possession of the Democratio party in this city. Tho Tepublicaus are not o perscouting party, They are in faver of equal rights for all, and opposed to prosoribing men booause thoy Liappen to be American-born, Mgr. Crover, the Ropublican nomineo for Sheriff, i a man who, if olected, will attend siriotly, honestly, and fair- ly to tho .duties of hiz office. If ho is eleted, the publio will never have cause to mako complaints about tho careless or im- proper manuer in which the dutics of his position aro performed, "Thoro ‘will be no |- repetition of jail deliveries, no bumming abont the Court-House, no suspicion of pacle ed juries. The peoplo will rest nssurod that the place is ocoupied by & man who will deal fairly and justly with all. The theory of the Democratic Convontion was that an Irishman having held the position for the last two years, if ho was to bo supplanted, o German must take his place. Undor no circum. stances was an American fo have it. The Ttepublican Convention, on the other hand, recognized no stck ruls, and saw no ronson why an Amerienn was not entitled to the position. It melocted a 1nn who will dis. charge the duties of the offico to tho genernl sntisfaction. Tho only remaining question is whother the people waut such a person, or whether thoy shall continue the patronage and power nod influence of thet office in the lands of bummers and sympathizers " with the criminal claases, ‘Thero will bo a fesling among thoughtful meon of both parties that noithor haa scleoted as able a man for State's Attorney as tho im- portance of the office requires. Junior membars of the Bar eannot meot the require. ments of 80 exncting a position. Mr, Rexp was o strong lawyer, of great oxperience, capable of doing a4 much work as two or three ordinary lawyers, and an antagonist with whom fow members of the Bar came in confliot without being roughly handled where tho Btate's Attornoy had anything like a case to prosconte. Tho most briltinnt mombors of tho Bor are oftea omployed in criminal coses, Whichever of the young men put in nomination is elocled, it will an olection. If Indinna has really gone against them, which seoms now highly probable, there will be no posaibility of making good the loss, and New York, New Jeruey, and California will as surely go for Hayes ag Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, Thoy mny strngglo on and fight with the onergy of dospair, but with the certainty of overthrow staring them in tho face. 3 e ——ry Tho constant nssertion made by Mr, T~ pEN nnd his supporters that the Government is squandering its income, and not living within ita means, s not borne ont by an ex- amination of the figures, The New York T'ribune, looking over the books, finds that the Government saved from its income last month $2,915,805, and applied 1t to tho pay- mont of tho debt; 33,119,369 in August; and 81,188,033 in July, making for the past three months $7,172,769, being at the rate of $28,501,076 yoarly. Binco March 1, 1869, embracing ninoty-one months, it has saved something every month, except oight, and applied it towards lossening the debt. The following table shows the amounts actually saved and applied: THOSE REBEL OLAIMS, In caso Baxvzn J, Tipex is clocted Preai- dent and is backed by a Domocratic Ton- gross, what disposition will be mado of the Southern claims for damngos inflictad by the Union troops in keoping the South in tho Union? 'This is a question which should be considered boforo it is too lato by the tax- payers of the North, and, in considoring it, two facts should bo kept prominently in mind. First, if tho Domocratic party is suc- cessful, the House will be dominated by Confederates, and party policy will bo dic- tated by them. Thoy ruled tho doughfaces ‘beforo the War, nnd they have alrendy given them to understand that they must submit to the yoke. Becond, Mr. TipEN hns publicly aanounced himsolf a Btate- Rights man and while the War was pending deolored that he would op- poso every effort of the Government to coerco tho South into the Union. Putting thesa two facts together, we shall bave o' | Congress that will admit all theso claims and a Prosident that will approve them, un- less it can bo shown that tho Bouth js indif- foront to the payment of thom, and that Alr. TioeN i8 not o friond of the “Holid Sonth " upon which he relies for his olection. As these claims will bo introduced, and as Northorn men will havo to pay thom, it is o matter of first importance to consider them in their entiroty. Tho Congressional records of tho last session furnish the data. Twenty- five bills of n gonoral nature wero intro- duced by the Southern -Reformers, of which the following are fair snmples : 1L R, No, 9,430, by the Hon, E. J.

Tho aggrogale of these general claims, ns shown by the rec. ords, is ns follows : 7 Total, 01 months, $433, 180, 684 It must bo remomber at this period includes the three years of tha panic, when the times were so stringent that the income wes materially reduced, and yot tho Govern- mont kept on reducing its dobt. These fig- ures spiko another Domocratio canard, and wo commend them fo any such porsons as lave beon imposed upon by the charge of tho Tildenites that tho Governmont hns beon oxtravagantly spending its income, instead of paying its debt. They do not naed further comment. They speak for themselves, Some months ago, Mr. Ruusey, the owner of o lot on LaSalle atreet, sued the city for dnmages to that property resulting from tho construction by the city of what is known aa tho LaSnlle-streot tunnel. That tunnel find the opproachos «thereto cocupy tho central third of the rondway of the street. The case was claborately argued at the time, and Judge Rooens, of the Cirouit Court, held that the aity waa responsible, and the jury gave o verdict for the plaintiff for $19,000, that sum boing tho oapitalized oquivalont for damages nssessed. Tho caso was reargued on motion for new trial, but Judge Roarns adhered to his judgment, and the case was taken to the Buproma Court, wheroe it is now pending. On Tuesdsy - & similar caso in which the Muworn estato, owners of alot in the same locality, sued the city for damoges gustained Looauso of the constrac- tion of the tunnel on LaSalle atreot, was tried before Judge MoArnsTkn, of the Circuit Court, who scems to have quickly diaposed of it by deciding that the owners of lots hod no title to any part of the street on which the lots front, and that the fes of the streots is oxclusively in the city, Under this docision the jury found for the defend- ont. 'The onss will also go to the Bupremo Court, where the two cascs will ropresent judgments pro and con, sud the Bupreme Court will havo the bonefit of the opposing interprotations of the law by the two Judges of the Cireuit Court. .
