Returns of the elections from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana come in
to-day. They look very well, particularly the two latter. Pennsylvania does not
quite come up to my expectations. The city of Philadelphia has done very well,
but in too many of the counties there are Democratic gains, — not such,
perhaps, as to overcome the Union majorities, but will much reduce them.
