HOW 1T is REcEIvsD IN OHIO.
Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
Co1uxBus. O.. Oct. l6.-There was an import
ant mi citing at the rooms of the Democratic State
Central and Executive Committee to-day and TO-
night Ii was composed of members of the COM
nittee and other prominent and influential Demo-
Gratis and public men of Ohio. / believe that all
the congressional districts of the State were repre-
scented. There was q full and free interchange OF
views as to the political situation.
Every man who spoke promised an increased
vote for the Democratic electoral ticket in his
county and district over the Democratic vote OF
last Tuesday. The result of the recent election
has in no degree disheartened the Democrats any
where in this State. 1t has not shaken their conf
dence either In the principles of the Democratic
party or its nominees. The meeting, before II al
journed, resolved, on behalf OF those whom II
represented, against any movement In quarters
looking to the withdrawal of Seymour and Blair,
and pledged them the hearty support Of the De-
mocracy OF Ohio.
THE PROPOSITION CONDEMNED BY THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF OHIO.
A resolution has been unanimously passed by
the State Central y2ns S1 Spno se
to it. Thurman, Eshelman, Van Trump and
others refuse to support Chase in any event.
GEN. BLAIR's HOME ORGAN ON THE sUBJEcr- Z
Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirerl
CT. LOWS, Oct l6.-The city has been In a state
of great excitement all day over the rumored re-
signation of Seymour and Blair. Blair's friends
openly reported that the general, who arrived
last night, had assured them that his resignation
soon as it was known that Blair had visited the
Evening Dispatch office, the editor of which il hs
personal friend and counselor, the appearance Of
that paper was looked for with great interest.
The editorial upon the subject contained the fol-
loving sentence: tt
alt is, however, proper to say, that neither
nor Is 1t probable that any suggestion to that
effect has yet been made to them. Such q coup
detdt ought not TO be resolved upon rashly.
Neither Of the candidates is at liberty to resign
until il is made clearly manifest that such is the
wish of the Democratic party. Should such a
manifestation be forthcoming, neither gentlemen,
we presume, would hesitate q moment as to his
course. The designations Of both would, we
venture 10 say, be In the possession of the Ma.
tional Democratic Executive Committee as fast as
the wires could carry them. The first duty, how
ever is to consult the country. We should wait
to hear what the Democratic press has to say
the Democratic State Executive Committees have
to say upon 1t. At the present moment there
seems to be panic in New York and Washington,
and counsel coming from the panic-stricken is
seldom wise or safe. We say, then. let the COL
lected sense of the party determine the question
and not the fears of individuals. One thing is
very clear: Seymour and Blair, whatever may be
their feelings or wishes, have no right to quit
their posts as standard bearers OF the Democratic
party until they have authorized permission to
do So"

GENERAL BLAIR WILLING TO WITHDRAW.
Much excitement has existed here this afternoon
consequent upon reports from the East of prob.
able change In the Democratic national nominees
and rumors have-been freely circulated that both
Blair and Seymour have resigned. General Blair
arrived here at noon, and denies that he has re-
signed, but says he has written letter expressing
Willingness to withdraw, should it be considered
essential to the success of the party for him to do
so. The general will be SOL euaded to-ns b. when
II Is probable he viii make some explanation OF
the matter.
HOW 1T is VIEWED AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l6.-Ihe dispatch from New
York, signed by Belmont, Schell and Tilden, re-
fusing to participate in any movement contem-
plating change of Democratic candidates, has
These are mainly Mr.. Johnson's friends who seem
to think he would prove acceptable to the people.
The friends of Chase aud Hancock emphatic Ally
deny that either would consent to allow the use Of
their names. NOT formal committee has waited
on them. So far as expression has been elected
In this quarter, it is generally against the move
ment. An intimate friend of Chase said to-day
that If the proposition had been made six weeks
ago il might have been entertained, but the time
was too short now for 1t to be successful. There
L. no doubt he reflected the views of the chief
ustice.
