.... NEW YORK, Oct 81.
A new spirit prevails. Have hope and
cease not to work. The object of the
healthy shaking up of the question of
candidates is now disclosed 1t was to
eliminate the Blair question ont of the
struggle. 1t has been done. Mr.. Sey-
mour is in the field He will give the
Democrats all they desire to fight on and
the Radicals more than they can digest
His speeches are unanswerable just when
they are wanted.
The speech at Buffalo tomorrow will
reassume the aggressive, and will tell
something about the finances not yet de.
veloprd The spirit here is two hundred
per cent better than week ago. Every
Que feels that the Worlds thunder has
cleared the sky. The Broadhead letter
and the disproportional significance of
Blair have been both exploded. The
campaign is restored to its due and dra-
matte unity 1t is Seymour and Grant
peace and WARP The head Of their tick
ct is not confronting the tail of ours.
| PENNSYLVANIA SAFE FOR SEYMOUR
Advices from Pennsylvania leave no
doubt of carrying the State in November
The Democracy are alive once more.
New York views Seymour's taking Of the
stump as just the thing is as putting a
pig against greyhound to pit any Radi-
cal against him Radicals are alarmed.
They fear decentralization and defeat
everywhere as the very result of recent
success. RAYMEsK.

| SAN Francisco, Oct 23-15, a. m.
| Another severe shock of an earthquake
this minute has sent the people shrieking
in terror into the streets. 1t is impossi-
Bile at present to tell whether any more
damage was sustained by the shattered
buildings or lives lost, The streets are
crowded with people in their night cloth
es, fearful what may come next. The
atmosphere is thick and weather warm
and sultry.
Excitement somewhat quieted since the
shake at 2-15 a. m. The people evince
no desire to retire, but remain in the
streets discussing the probability of re-
currence of another disaster similar to the
one Of October 2lst.

erably complete returns from eighteen
counties out Of SO, composing the State,
show net democratic gains of $500 and
same ratio of gain throughout the State,
which ratio certainly exists, and will give
Us West Virginia by handsome major
ity.
