THE ELECTIONS, The Republican Majorities in Ohio and Pennsylvania Larger than at First Reported. INDIANA STILL VERY DOUBTFUL. Hendricks Possibly Elected by a Small Majority. REPUBLICAN GAINS OF CONGRESSMEN, Pennsylvania: Republican Majority, 26,090--- Ohio: Republican Majority, 15,000---In- diana: Majority for Either Men- dricks or Brown, 500 to 1,000, ‘The returns from ‘Ohio are still incomplete, and from Indiana very meagre and unsatisfactory. In the former State, however, there remains no doubt @f a decisive republican majority. The democrats admit a defeat of from 10,000 to 15,000, while the Ohairman of the Republican State Committee claims as high as 18,000. In Hamilton county, how- e there has been a heavy republican loss, and 4m Cleveland the liberal republicans have evidently ‘deen a substantial and palpable addition of strength to the democratic ticket, About Indiana nothing certain can as yet be mated, The latest despatch concedes the State to Hendricks by an infinitessimal majority ; but opinion fluctuates every hour as the news of the varying fortune of the two parties in the more remote counties is received. It will certainly need an official canvass of the.vote to show whether Brown or Hendricks has been the victor in the fray. Tl any event the Legislature is very decidedly sepublican, and there can be no doubt of the com- plexion of the next United States Senator, The fepublicans also have certainly gained one Con- sreseman, ¥rom Pennsylvania we have a few additional re- turns, showing an enormous republican majority in the Congressional delegation and the utter defeat of the liberals, Mr. Forney has abandoned the Oght and has declared in the most unequivocal nd positive manner for Grant. PENNSYLVANIA. Estimate of the Congressmen—Twenty- three Republicans and Four Democrats Elected. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9, 1872, The Evening Telegraph says the Congressional @elegation will be twenty-three republicans and four democrats, republicans being elected in the Sixth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Twen- eth, Twenty-first and Twenty-fourth districts, Forney Gives Up the Fight and Swears Allegiance to Grant—No Hope tor Greeley. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9, 1872. Forney’s Press heads the returns ‘“Greeley’s Doom Sealed,”’ and says:—‘‘It would be folly to allege that Hartranft’s majority ts the offspring of fraud. We believe it to be a legitimate majority. General Grant pulled the ticket through. In any ordinary contest the ticket would have been beaten out of sight, but his name and the fear that Gefeat now would damage him in November ral- Med thousands to his support. He has always been stronger than his party. Having fully chal- Jenged such acts of the administration as we be- Neved deserved challenge, we shall do what be- comes us to support his retention as President.” The Congressional delegation will embrace eighteen republicans and nine democrats, Fifteen republicans and three democrats are elected to the lower branch of the State Legisla- ture. Alexander, republican, is elected state Senator from the First district. A Gleam of Comfort tor the Democrats— Gain of a Member of the LegisIature. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9, 1872, ‘The democrats of Bucks county elect both mem- bers of the Legisiature—a gain of one. Allegheny County’s Hartranft Majority Still Swelling Larger—Gain of a Con- gressman in the T'wenty-fourth Dis- triet. PitTsBuRG, Pa., Oct. 9, 1872. The aggregate of the returns from Allegheny county received up to one o’clock P. M. gives Hart- rani{t 7,190 majority. Fifty-seven districts yet to be heard from will probably increase his majority, The returns come in slowly. J. 8. Negley, repub- lican, is returned to Congress from the Twenty- second district. McJunkin, republican, is elected in the Twenty-third district. The republicans have gained a Congressman in the Twenty-fourth dis- trict. William Moore, republican, is elected over McClelland, democrat. The Congressional Districts—Details of the Vote—Heavy Republican Majori- thes. CoLvmBvs, Oct. 9, 1872.

This gives the democrats seven Congressmen, a gain of twoin Hamilton county. The democrats do not concede the Sixth and Tenth districts, but Foster, of the Tenth, telegraphs to friends here that he is surely elected by over 600 majority, Thisis the frst time the republicans have ever carried Ohio with- out the ald of Hamilton county.

THE VERY LATEST, Both Sides Claim the Victory—Repub- licans Say Brown is Elected by 228 and the Democrats that Hendricks is Elected by 1,000. INDIANAPOMIS, Oct. 9, 1872. Ateleven o'clock to-night the Republican Cen- tral Committee figure a majority, on actual official returns from forty-seven counties and partial re- turns and estimated majorities from the balance of the State, of 228 for Brown (republican), The Democratic State Committee claim a net gain on the returns from fifty-five counties over the vote of 1868, which, with partial returns and estimated majorities from the balance of the State, will elect Hendricks by 1,000 majcrity. The vote is so close that it may require the official majorities to determine the result. The democrats are jubilant. ‘The late returns giving democratic gains will not change the complexion of the Legisiature from pre- vious reports.

Marcus Otterbourg, Jacob Hess and Louis Reiss, on the part of the frving Place Central Committee, and Messrs. Carl Schmedier, Louis Naumann and Gustav Beyerie, on the part of the German Repub- lican Central Committee. On recommendation of the Committee of Organization action was taken to communicate with other organizations in refe- rence to nominations of candidates for Congress. A number of new members proposed at the pre- vious meeting were adinitted, In addition clubs of the Tenth and Eighteenth Assembly districts were admitted Lind de sohgehander and several other clubs were prop . The meeting in the course of the proceedings was addressed by Mr. Paul Stro- bach, @ leading German republican and govern- ment oliver, of Alabama, Who gave an interestin; aecount of the condition of affairs in the South and the disposition of the Southern people.

The Isenes of the Present and the Lessons from the Past—The News from Indiana—Exultant Jubilation by the Multitude Over the Vic- tories of Tuesday—Speeches by Gen- eral John A. Dix and General BRobinson—Scenes Outside. The grandest rally in its enthusiasm of the pres- ent campaign was that of last night in the Cooper Institute hall, A densely packed mass filled every portion of it, and at seven o’c!ock for one more hu- man being to squeeze into its precincts was an utter impossibility, A heavy detail of police were stationed amid the crowd, and, indeed, their pres- ence secimed necessary—not because of any vio- lent or antagonistic impulses, but from the universal eagerness on the part of 4,000 people to press themselves into the little space near the platform. In the front seats ladies were very numerous, and the general character of the audience was nighly respectable and intelligent. However, long before General Butler, the hero of the evening, made his appearance signs of good- natured impatience became manifest, There were Trequent bursts of cheers and applause, and in the Outskirts of the ‘hall pertinent jests provoked rounds of langhter, which ran like waves from mouth to mouth until they reached the platform, aud even around the philanthropic lips of Peter Cooper, who had arrived in the company of his celebrated air cushion, there played an amused smile. It seemed evident that the whole spirit of the occasion was loyal to the national party that won such great victories on Tuesday, and ex: ultation beamed upon most of the crowded faces. The platform was plentifully decorated with the American emblem, Over the seat of the Chairman were the words :— PONCE OLE LLI TELE LELELELONETELO LE IORENE TE ROLT DD UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER. ie OLOLEIOLEDEIEOEIE LONE LEIOLEDOLEDE DELO LODED 6D On the left side was read :- Ce ee ee We propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all Summer, POOOOOLONEDOLELELEELELELEDETELE DE DOLEDESOLOLE DE OOD: On the right the words of the late Secretary Stanton:— AO OORONELE DE RELELOAELELE DONE DODEDEDELEDOLEDE DOD The thanks of this Department and of the syrormnene and of the people of the United tutes—their reverence and honor have been deserved—will be rendered to you and the and gallant officers and soldiers of your for all time.

At half-past seven the fecling of the audience broke forth in cheers, and with their feet they kept up a thunderous tramp; but still there came no Ben Butler. Some impulsive individual shouted coaxingly, “Oh! come, come ; do come!’ and others of the throng loudly called out for a song, which not main 4 forthcoming, they shouted alternately for speeches from Cooper or Sigel. The requests were not responded to, and great amusement was then created by the whistling and singing in chorus of old battle songs. Four thousand voices sung ‘The Battle Cry of Freedom” and “John Brown’s Body Goes Marching On,” with an effect spproeching deur. At this point several promient per- sons came upon the platform, including General Robinson, who was wildly cheered, and hats were swung excitedly in the air, which seemed black with them, General Butler soon atterwards made his appearance with a step as agile as that of a ance eighteen, and was received by General rp SPERCH OF GENERAL GEORGE H, SHARPR, The air was then filed with deafening shouts and cheers, General Sharpe came forward and satd:— We are often told that history repeats itself.

He read the following telegram, which explained itself and was cheered to the ecl * ‘ INDIANAPOLIS, Oct, 9, To A. B. CORNELL :— oe Republicans elect State ticket by about 1,200 majority.

ROBINSON was introduced amid cheers, He said:— If there was any man in the house who didn’t feel jolly Jet him go West and buy asarm. (Laughter.) Knowing the anxiety felt to hear the distinguished.gentleman wlio was to speak he would not detain them long. Three Weeks ago @ Soldiers and Sailors’ Convention was held in Pittsburg.

They proposed to throw their ballots th same way that they threw their bullet. The quest Whether the government should be retained by the par that crushed the rebellion or should be given over to the party whieh lifted itshands against the Union? General Grant and his party had done more to bring about recon- ciliation than Mr. Greeley ever could if he lived long enough to wear out his white coat. (Laughter) General Robinson was listened to ver: tiently and cries for “Butler” interrupte: every sentence. SPEECH OF GENERAL BUTLER. General Butler was introduced amid cheers, He was about to begin his speech when his voice was drowned by shouts for Genera! Dix, who at this mo- ment made his appearance on the platform. Cheer after cheer was given for the gray veteran, and General Butler then said :— Thave come to discuss the great underlying principles that were at stake in this campaign.

There were about two hundred delegates present. Mr. Horace F. CLanw, from the Committee of Con- ference, said:—Mr. Chairman, as one of the Com- mittee of Twenty-one charged with conferring with other outside political organizations as to reporting in harmony names for nomination to the judicial oMces of the county, I have the honor to report that we have met a num- ber of these organizations, have had conferences with them, but as yet have come to no satisfactory conclusion, Some of them have asked for places on our tickets, which we had no right to concede. A nomination now is not all that is necessary to success, Our success depends on a general ap- proval of our candidates, We propose to make nominations which the outside organizations as well as our own can support, Wo consequently desire further conferences. We have not seen all the organisations; nor can we do all the work re- quired of us in #0 short atime. i have here the resolution of the committee relative to the matter, which I will read. Mr, Clark, thereupon, read the following RESOLUTION.

Mr. KELLY—A motion to adjourn ts not debatable, Mr, McOarrrey—Is there any previous question? Mr. KELLy—I believe there is, Let me say ag re- gards this report of the committee of conference that it Is important that we adjouin until Monday | for various reasons, as well as for consideration of | the nominations, It is very important that har- mony and unanimity of action should be secured, As to the feeling relative to candidates to be pre- sented, there are some against whom much can be sald, The names of candidates have been referred to this committee of — confer- ence. Is it prudent that we should hero discuss what is said of some of them by these out- side organizations? ‘The effect on the public of the bof tion of names here that ought never have | en presented must be considered, We are in no | Mr. MoCarrrey—Mr. Chairman, I presume, as there is @ previous question, that no debating is allowable; but as this gentleman has debated the | subject I presume I have the same privileye. CHAIRMAN—There has been no rule made in the matter, You are entitled to the floor. | Mr. McCarrrey—I would like to kuow what can | be the intentions o! this Committee of Conference ¥ | ‘To confer with these outside organizations ¢ “Why, | figures lie, which they never do, save when applied to an exhibition and elucidation of our national debt. Impressive this, but in a manner diserent the Committee of Seventy could not get seventy | votes outside of its own circle, What is the Bar Association but a mere clique that you or I, sir, might gather in our parlors, ‘The ‘other outside | organizations cannot stir up a corporal’s guard | from what is intended, and so the HERALD repre- sentative turns from thie whistier for courage and asks of the situation of an_ old-time democrat, later-time republican and present liveral, He said:—We centered this campaign on the basis of reform in the national, State and munici- pal government. We have met with a defeat, and, though dispirited, we are not disheartened. If we were working mercly for the spoils we should give over the fight, but the continuance of our institu- tions ts at stake, and there is nothing left for us but to keep it up. We are like a people in a revolution, and cannot atford to yield and make terms with the | enemy upon the first reverse. ‘The fight must go on, though upon a modified basis, We must con- tinue our devotion to the interests of the city and State. In this matter of reform, in the change Which the interests of the country demand, we are with the democrats, but the least taint of corrup- tion must be avoided. 1 have just returned trom a meeting with Tammany. The men whom they pre- sent for prominent offices may be and doubt- less are free from dishonesty; but in the minds of the people there is a taint connected with that institution, and that this should be considered is admitted’ and appreciated by Tammany.” Referring to the South he said:— “What is to become of the Southern people? They threw themselves into our arms, and asked us to save them from the ruin which has beea brought upon them by carpet-baggers and scalawags, fos- tered and upheld by the present edministr ation. They relied upon the democrats and liberals of the North to come to their rescue, accepting a man as the representative of the spirit of reconciliation | Who had been their life-long political enemy. Their | trust has failed them, and they seem like to be sub- mitted to another four years of mal-adiministration, out of which has arisen every crime. That their utter ruin and the consequent disaster to the The gen- | tlerman failed to answer his question and our re- | porter withdrew. Democratic Headquarters. An unusual air of gloom hung over these head- quarters yesterday and visitors were few and remained a short time. All hopes of Pennsylvania and Ohio were given up at an early hour and inquiries were entirely confined to Indiana, from which @ grain of consolation was hoped for, There seemed much more of a disposition to surrender the fight on the part of the democrats than on that of the liberals, and the feeling was general that the latter had not been able to do as much as antici- pated and that a mistake had been made in forming the coalition, It is, probably, not too much to say that “straight-out’ democracy is, comparatively speaking, looking up in the sentiment of “the un- terrified’—though too late for any practical result—as it ; an felt thas a defeat ja Bfraight-out — cqniest =woulg be jes8 demacklinge than at prescut. So fat as the politicians are concerned it is certain that the coalition movement, if it prove a failure, is like to bring about bitter feelings, which may throw the coalition asunder in despite of the hon- est men of both parties who are working fer re- form, and chaos may come again among the oppo- bents of the administration, Regular Republican Headquarters. After the exertions and late hours of the even- ing previous there was very little activity at these headquarters yesterday, and only some of the un- der officials were in attendance. Callers were con: stantly erepuiee im and exchanging congratula- tions over the result of the elections. It was felt that the fight was practically over, and that the re- election of General Grant, with all its beneficent results to the country, was assured. Less enthusi- | asm was manifested than might have been ex- pected, attributable, probably, to tie fact that | things had been so arranged that success was | neither unanticipated nor at all doubtful. Headquarters Democratic State Come mittee. “We have recovered from the shock and are again at work,” said the Hon. Allen C. Beach, chairman of the Executive Committee, as the HERALD reporter greeted him. Some of the lesser officials aroge to explain, but His Excellency thought matters were beyond explanation. Frauds may have been perpetrated, but the moral | effect upon the forthcoming national contest is the | same. “We are going to work to save our own State,” continued the Governor, “and no abate- ment of energy will be made. We are continuing and extending our arrangements for mectings throughout the State, and we anticipate the best results,” ‘ THE APOLLO HALL PRIMARIES, The Apollo Hall (O’Brien) democracy held pri- mary elections last evening in the several Assem- bly districts in this city.

I have taken an active part to reform and purify the administration of public affairs; but I dutered | from many good men as to the best means to ac. complish the object. Iwas and lam in favor of | working for these ends in and through my own | party. ay voice was early raised in Tammany | against the frauds and for reform, and 1 wish eifec- tively to co-operate with all who sincerely have the same purpose. My influence would be dimin- ished if | appeared to press for office, which, I can | honestly say, I never unduly coveted. Our com- mon object 1# to reconstruct our local party in | harmony with the spirit of reform, and 1 will | continue to labor for it with our best | men. It is my just pride that I have administered my present oitice with fidelity to the public and the strictest purity, and I am content with the | popular approval. Believing that some pa ay mated by the sentiments above indicated Will be nominated, 1 will cheerful errr’ him, whether it be Judge Leonard, Mr. Lhwrence, Mr, Peckham, Mr. Marri, or any other good man, 1 wish my friends in the Convention not to noml- nate me, for I decline to be acandidate. 1 value highly the general and cordial support extended to ime, and the friendly expressions of a large portion of my brethren of the Bar, and I remam your obe- Nous +9 meet Haturday evening, Ovyoner se 1 diemt pervant, ALGERNON 8, BULLIVAN. oe | the result of the | om ll give it him here or | H Amid great confusion the Convention herenpon | 1 and Clark and McCaffrey were swallowed up aud | ‘The sub-committee on elections of the Committee of Seventy met last evening at thelr rooms in the Everett House at eight P. M. Five members of the committee were present, and for some short time they talked quietly among themselves on the prose pects of the coming election without being dis~ turbed by the visit of any party or society repre sentatives. Shortly before nine P. M., however, the committee were surprised by the entrance of soméd TAMMANY BRAVES in full war paint. ‘This party, headed by Richard Schell, comprised several other noted chiefs, sucht as M. T. Brennan, Judge Ledwith, 8 J. nd Donnelly, Hewitt and Kelly. The doors were im. mediately closed, and Tammany and Keform sat down to have # quiet ciat, Alter a little playtu discussion on electioncering expenses, one of th Seventy gentlemen made a chance reimark in rela. tion to “strikers,” which brought out an answerin gun from Tammany to the effect that they ha transierred the biggest ‘striker’ (hat ever be- longed to then’ party to the noble cause of reform, and gave JAMES O'BRIEN as the person alluded to, The Tammany men thei sald they were anxious to nominate a pure, honest and effigient man, but he must be a sound dem crt. Several games were then mentioned, seine ing Clarkson N, Potter, Abraham Kk. Lawrence, Oswald Ottendorfer, Green, Havemeyer and som eight or ten others. The Seventy people wei very strongly in favor of Have: ut Tarn many could not coincide in their views and sat that they would never nominate a Grant man, B, way of a break in the conversation one of the Tam. many committee remarked that Jimmy cm th would have some money to support him from th Grant party. ‘The Seventy man said he did not eve it, and added that O’Brien could raise TWO AUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS among straight democrats to help to elect hi The Tammany brave ‘responded, saying that he was certain if the Committee of Seventy wi aware how hard Tammany had sought for pure, honest candidates curt the past eight month they would not mention the name of O’Brien, Tammany knew him. The evening’s CUAFF AND SPARRING, however, resulted in nothing, as the Seventy me appeared to consolidate upon Havemeyer, & Dam that did not appear to agree with ne Th nearest approuch to any similarity of opinion w: upon Ottendorfer, but nothing definite transpired.’ They then adjourned, agreeing to meet again of} Friday evening. One of the Tammany Committe afterwards said to the HERALD representative that both committees were satisfied that Jimmy O’Brien would have no chance against d pure, honest am well known man.
