WASHINGTON. Sept. &c. -Political adviccS
received here from the various portions Of
the country indicate that the campaig On for
the October elections is more vigorously
conducted in Indiana, Ohio. and Missouri
than in any OF the other States. In the lat
ter state the Democrats have nominated no
State ticket, and have not completed all OF
their nominations for Congress. The State
ticket headed by the liberal Republicans,
with ex-senator Gratz Brown tor Governor,
and supported hy Senator SchurZ, will be
very generally sustained by the Democracy
OH the ground that it is against the further
prescription and Acknowledgement of the
white people of Missouri. There is 4 good
prospect that it will be elected.
The st. Louis Republican, the leading
Democratic journal of Missouri, has come
out in favor of this ticket. In Wisconsin
the Democrats expect to gain member of
Congress in the Milwaukee district and
two in Arkansas. Indiana letters say that
Il good many Republicans announce that
they will not vote for any of their candl-
dates of high tariff proclivitieS. The tariff
question is entering largely into the con-
test, and the Democrats expect TO gain
three members Of Congress in that State.
In Ohio their estimate is Il gain Of four,
with llattering prospects for two more. In
Pennsylvania the campaign is not very
vigorous on either side, but the Democrats
claim that they will elect eleven Congress
men.
From Alabama politicians write that the
Democracy will carry every district hut one.
Louisiana sends the same news. In Gcor-
gia the campaign has not formally opened.
but Democrats write that they will sweep
the State. Letters from Tennessee say that
I'll will n hlIt
Maynard'S. South Carolina is doubtful,
but the relormers are confident Of 4 gain Of
congressman i'll the first and fourth dis
tricts The New York Democrats expect
TO gain seven Congressman and elect Gov
ernOr Hoffman in November by eighty
Thousand majority. In New Jersey Il gain
OF one member is expected. Massachll-
sets udviccs state that it is not expected
that Wendell Phillips will he elected Gov
crnor br the labor rciormerS, but that the
~. GOO votes which the latter cast will give
the Legislature such complexion as to de-
feat the reelection of senator Wilson. From
Mississippi and Texas nothing very definite
has been heard. The Republican commit
tee here have uSt gone through their cor
reSpundenre. and make up al estimate that
does moi coucede Il Democratic gain of con-
"IcSsncn OF more than tWeny in all the fall
elections.

did not understand what he had been doing.

pose TO have left for England that morning.

refused to leave the country, so he con-
Guided to come back, acknowledge his guilt,
and resolve to do better. General Spinner

agreed to do, and went to the ONCE lor that

been sent for redemption from different
banks. The largest amount taken at one
time was $1,000 from the Davenport Ma
tioual Bank, and in order to make this EN-
bezzlemcnt good other packages were taken
and used until the speculatlonsln which ne
