The battle in Indiana and Ohio is now so near that the liveliest interest is felt in the resuit- The gereral bellef seems to be that Indiana will go den.ceratic by a reduced majority, in com. | Pariscn with the vote of 1876, and that Ohio wil give a republican majority which will exceed that of the last presidential year. Both the Tepublican and democratic congressional com. Tulttees express avorebensions that the one pasty will practice frauds upon the ocher, Waile U.e Lemocrats insist that a democratic tnajority in Indiana in October will assure the election of Gen, Hanccck in November, the republican3 do not make any such corcession. Taney do say, however, that if the repubitcans carry Indiana next Tuesday that Gariield’s election is assured, because the fight in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut will be made upon business and tariff issues, with the chance that the repubii cans In a vigorous fight on this Ine will carr ad] three of these states, ‘The news received from Cailfornta ts not at al d «ouraging to the democrats. There was a icar at ope time that the visit of Presiden Hajyesto the Pacific Stope states was a part of the republican program to influence the votes cf the people of those states. The Presiden, however, has made no political speeches, and the democrats now feel no concern over the taip, because they find it to be one of ob:erva- Uo, and not of politics. ‘She betting men still offer odds on Indtana going democratic and the election of Hancock.

There {3 a feeling growing, too, that the charge that Gen. Weaver. the greendack presi. dential candidate, is a secret ally ct the repu leans, has been proven. If Weaver can deliver any gocds, (which point is involved in doub .) he might be able to turn the scale tn Indiana. ‘There are several thousand greenback votes in Indiana, which, if one-haif can be intluenced by Weaver, will give the republicans the sta‘e. The fact is, though, that Landers, the dom cratic gubernatorial nominee, has alway public life been tdentified with the soft-: meb; a very logical conclusion 48, tuen, t Weaver loses the confidence of the gi back voters the bulk of the vote will naturally gravi- tate to Landers. ‘The republican Congressional Committee have no fear put thal Outo is safely anchored tn the republican column. ‘The democrais claim to see a chance, but hardly hope to carry the state.

It 1s possibie that the 1st Ojo dis trict may be lost to the republicans, and Major Butterworth be defeated, but there 13 the sim> Chance to offsct this loss through the defeat oF Mahon in the Dayton districi. The repubdlt- cans claim that they will gain three member: of Congress from Ohio, a claim hotly dispatet by the democrats. ‘The chances now seem to be tha” the republi- cabs Will loose two districts in Pennsylvania, the ones represented by Harry White and Mr. Fisher, respectively. No one here seems to be able as yet to tell how the comparisons are to be made of the vote tu be cast in Ohio and Indiana next Tuesday. ‘The democrats say that the comparison shonid te made with the vote in isi6, the presidential ar, and it probably will so be made, ‘tLe outlook in Dinos is not such as to dis- courage the republicans or to give the dem- ecracy exuberant hopes. Trumbull is making in active canvass for governor. but there |g no rea! danger that the republicans will loose the Sate. All the democrats now claim ts that the Sy eieg majority will be cut down. Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana, thinks that 1f the election was held in New York to-morrow, the chance for the democrats carrying the state would be more favorable than for repabiican success, Sull he believes that by November the business men will wake up, and that Gar- field will get its electoral vote.’ ‘You see,” said he, "We can elect Garfield without the vote ot New York, but the democrats must carry New York to elect their man.” Word comes from New Jersey that the ques- (on of the tariff is the preponderating feature ef the canvass in that state, and is beins peed forward for all it is worth in the manu- facturing cities cf Newark, Paterson, New Brunswick, &c.; also, that a large proportion o the democrats in these cittes do not endors that feature of the derocraide platform which declares for “a tariff for revenue oaly.” it Political Notes.

It has been supposed that the largely in- creased registration in New York was in favor of the democrats, but Mr. Sweet, proprietor of the Hotel Brighton, at Coney Island, views it in a different ight. “You look at that immease registration in New York yesterday,” he said, “and observe how much it has increased in the Tepublican wards and districts.

NEw YorRK, Oct. $.—Gentlemen returnt "4 from Indiana and Ohio say politics are “red how” there, and so they seem here to-day. Tae morn- ing papers are fullof startling headlines and excitement grows rapidly. At both potitical headquarters long and cheer- ful dispatches have been received this morntag frem Chairman Barnum and from Secretary Dorsey, but they fail to show in either ease any additional reason why any one cain predict a result in Indiana. The betting fraternity are very active. The latest betting {s even on Ia- diena. Very few bets are being made with cdds, and, in fact, all betting rumors now iu- yolve a ton of talk to an ounce of money. Gen. Koynton’s charge that English swindi grancmother’s heirs out of thelr pension mon: is the latest sensation and town talk to-day. Commissioner Davenporv’s stubborn firmness in the matter of the election law as applied to tbe naturalization certificates of 1568 may create trouble at the next registration day, which is next Tuesday. Meantime the hewspepers are dealing witli the question vigorously. The Graphic this afternoon says: Yesterday Mr. Daveaport issued a circular to his subordinates, in which, after referring to the Tammany threats, he quotes the terms of the law under which super- visors of election act. It 1s certainly instructive reading for Mr. Kelly and his hot-headed tends. The Jaw ts sulphurous in every line. It would be difficult to find on the stavate b20K of eny country in the world a law giving cficers greater powers to punish those who atlempt apy resistance to their authority, AS lovg as this law ts in force it will not do for any one to make faces at a U.S. supervisor of election. The Evpress this evening attacks Davenport he methcds of carrying out the law sav- agely. _Dispatches from different portions of New York are more encouraging to the republicans. ‘The demecrats base their hopes mostly on lange Ioajorities in King and Queen counties.
