Ohio.

In little more than month the State
election takes place. Our information
from all quarters leaves little doubt in
our mini that it is certain to vote for
Greeley and Brown. The highest vote
that has ever been given in this State
is about $1,000. We will assume this
wear that it will 60 up to $4,000. In
1868 the Democrats alone, with an un-
popular candidate for President, gave
their Secretary of State 24O,6S2. The
natural increase on this vote. in four
wears, would certainly not be less than
1900. This, added to the 24O,OOO,
would make 26l 900 as the Democratic
strength in Ohio. Now, what is the
Liberal Republican strength? At
low estimate it may be put down at
10000. This increases the vote for the
Greeley ticket to 2Sl, 900 in October.
Take that from the $4,000 estimated
votes, and there would be a majority OF
over III 900 for our State ticket. But,
in truth, the $4,000 votes we polled
amid the discouragements OF 1868 did
not at all indicate our real strength IN
this State. A strong candidate would
e~en then have made it 10000 more,
With the 10000 Liberals the Greeley
vote ought not to be less than 29i wv
this fall. Even as far back as 1901,
without the Liberals, we gave Judge
Thurman for Governor over AO,OOO
votes against General Hayes.
We can not see, in the light OF these
figures. and placing the total vote at
$500 which is considerably more
than one vote for every five people, how
we can be beaten in Ohio. Many Of
the Liberals place their vote at -, OOO
or 10000. General Moves had less
than 10000 majority for Governor last
wear. Where will that be with 2OUO
of, and 10000 added to our ticket?
Moves had over 1900 majority in Ham
iltou county, and 5000 majority in Guy
ahogs county. This 1900 majority in
the two counties for him will be changed
to 1000 or 5000 against him. In Cuya-
boes county the Germans are all for
Greeley and Brown, and no one puts
the majority for the Grant ticket at
over 1000. In Hamilton county there
will be 1000 or 5000 for the Greeley
ticket. In these two counties alone
halt of the Moves majority Of last year
will be swept away. The rest Of the
State will do more than wipe out the
remainder.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

ed the murder Of his wife and children,
died at the hospital at 6 o'clock satur"
day morning. The child died at 5
o'clock the came morning. Mrs.
Schneaur will probably recover. The
account OF the affair shows it to be the
most cold blooded butchery ever COM
mitted in this section. After knocking
his wife down and splitting her head
open with a hatchet, he threatened
the child, but walked out Of the
room without doing it any harm.
He looked back. and seeing HE wife
rising from the floor, he returned and
dealt her two more blows on the head
and arm. In his efforts to kill himself
he produced two fractures of the skull,
opened veins in both OF his wrists and
made twenty-five wounds on his head
with an old axe. 1t was the opinion Of
the Coroner's jury that the deed was
premeditated aud carefully planned.

member and leader OF the Republican
party in this State. died, on Saturday,
of cerebro spinal meningitis. de
was taken sick on Thursday and died

FRANCIS HERMAN, Esq, Of Utica,
Oneida county, New York, who is the
Democratic and Liberal Republican
candidate for Governor, is one Of the
sblest and most eminent lawyers in the
State. His purity Of character, bis un-
challenged integrity, are as widely
known as his name. There is no posi-
ton in the State that he could not have
had years ago il be would have accepted
it. He has declined more offers OF
honor and emolument than generally
fall to the lot of one man to accept.
After the developments Of rascality in
the city of New York ard at Albany,
the people demanded man who would
afford a guarantee that there should
be no stealing in Legislatures, and they
have found such a one in Mr. ker-
nan. His election by an immense
majority over the octogenarisn General
Dix is as certain as that November rolls
round. The selection Of our old Ohio
friend, and Congressman from this State

Congressman at large, is q deserved
compliment to one o: the brightest and

fords. In wit, shrewdness and yivscity,
in lively and engaging popular elo'
auence, he has not his peer in Congress
or on the stump. He will iutro-
duce into the New Ysrk conflict

with him, and upon his election they

Destruet1ve Fire-Loss 8265, ,2OO-In.
surance 8s6,S5O.
MEMPHIS, September 8.-The most
destructive fire that ever occurred here
broke out this afternoon on the corner
Of Union and Second streets, about
two o'clock, and before the flames were
subdued, had spread to the adjoining
buildings, which being old and OF light
boards, were speedily consumed, and
despite the efforts oil the fire department,
the entire block on the eastern half of
the block between Union and Monroe
and Main and Second streets was q
mass Of smouldering ruins. The total
loss on stock and buildings. as footed
up tonight, amounts to $265, 200, upon
which there is an insurance of but $S6,.
$50.
When the fire first broke out, it was
thought that 1t could be easily put out,
but the entire fire department was set at
work. Finding the block named could
not be saved, they directed their efforts
to save the western end Of the block
which fronts on Main street, and is
nearly all large buildings, occupied by
wholesale boot and shoe and hardware
dealers, as well as several large retail
dry goods establishments, which, had
they been burned, would have swollen
the loss to over 81 100000
Several times during the progress Of
the fire the Peabody Hotel caught fire
in the roof, aud the fire being, a. it was,
in the central or business portion Of the
city, other buildings took fire from the
burning embers and sparks which filled
the air for squares around, and with the
flames from the burning buildings cast
a lurid glare over the entire eastern
portion OF the city. Indeed, the light
was so bright that papers could be dis
tinctly read at a distance Of ten blocks
At one time it was reported that several
persons had been killed by the falling
walls, but this proved to be incorrect.
In Brocketts livery stable there
were 200 horses and nearly as many
buggies, which were safely removed,
but had the fire occurred an hour later
all would have been burned.
Bruce l. Co.'S building was large
five story brick, filled from top to bot
tom with large stock, the largest,
perhaps, in the South, Of which they
saved only the carriages on the lower
floor. Over 800 employees are out Of
work.

Wages aud Living in California.

A letter from q farmers Wife" at

exposes a good deal Of the humbug
about high wages in California:

He never uses tobacco or any kind Of
spirits, and is desirable hand in the
harvest field. Hewent TO San Jose last
May, as we were able TO get along with.
out him on our farm. He soon wrote
me that wages were low, as the farmers
were working Cinnamon. Thirty doll
lars is all they have given
month in the Santa Clara VAL
ley the past seven years, except two
months, when they clip their grain
and while the thresber is going. Then
they will give $40 to two or three hands
among the twenty; the rest get ~ q
day; and at the end of the month the
men who have been getting 81 day
have not as much money rs those who
get $40 a month. The reason is, the
machine breaks, and the day hands
have no work and no pay; but they
have to eat. In the morning they are
called up at 4 o'clock and hurried to
the field by sunrise; in at II and out
again at l, and work as long as it
is light enough to see q head
of grain. 1t is often 10 o'clock before
they get their supper and get to bed.
This, tell you, know. I have lived
in it and seen it all. California is
glorious place for those who come here
with plenty of money. They intend to
get labor below 81 day as soon as
they can. As soon as harvest is over,
they say, there is labor on the railroad.
Yes, at just 81 day and board your
self. l have had men stop. nearly worn
out and out of money, and stay all the
nigh, that had been to get work on the
railroad. l have been in California
ten years. This is the eighth season
on the rancho. Until this year have
lived in San Jose. ! have travelled in
this State, and know all l wish to of

The effect of Chinese labor in the
shoe trade is thus described by local
paper:
"There are in San Francisco about
1000 white operatives employed in the
manufactuce Of boots and shoes. China
men who have three years experience
in this kind OF work are paid twenty.
eight cents per pair for making ladies
shoes. White operatives formerly re-
ceived seventy.five cents q pair. At
this rate of wages the Chinese earn
from 81 to $l.25 per day. White
men formerly earned from % to
$50 per day. Alarge number Of white
girls were formerly engaged in fitting
or making the uppers by machinery,
but Cinnamon are rapidly driving them
from every shop in the city. The girls
received about thirty-four cents pair
for fitting scalloped vamps and tops.
The coolies do the same work for twelve
and half cents a pair. Cutters for.
merly were paid sixty cents per dozen
for cutting out this work. The China
man does it for twenty-five cents. Sole
leather and stock cutters, who received
from $3.50 to 50 so per day, have given
way to Chinese, who do it for $l.25.
In consequence Of this great disparity
in the prices of labor white operatives
have been steadily losing ground, being
unable TO make a living at the ruin
ously low rate Of wages established by
competition with the Chinese. AS the
legitimate result OF this state OF things,
we find shops where formerly thirty to
forty white men were employed now re-
tain only from four to eight, and In
some but one or two remain. Yet the
boot and shoe business has increased on
this cost two hundred per cent within
the last three years. Last week the
wages OF fourteen white men in one
shop aggregated just $50 for. making
100 pairs Of kip boots, this being all
there was for them to do after the China
men were supplied. The latter made
42O pairs to the l2O of the white work.
men, and the wages Of the white ope>
ratives amounted to less than 81 per
man.

1t is to be regretted that figures do
not lie when they record the extent o.
liquor drinking in this country. Under
the returns made by the census it ap-
pears that in addition to the 63,3l4,627
gallons Of homemade spirits, and 7,l5s,.
74O barrels of fermented liquors on
which taxes were paid in 1871, were
imported of wine 9,7SS,9s3 gallons and
43l, ,562 dozen bottles; ofspirits, 2,629,-
326 gallons and l23,667 dozen bottles,
and Of malt liquors, s32.43l gallons.
1t appears, furthermore. that the con-
sumers put about $50O,0O0,OOO every
year into the pockets ofthe dealers:
The proportion OF those licensed
to sell liquor is about one in
every $50 OF the population, and those
who have figured very closely claim
that every eighty drinkers support q
drinking establishment and consume
400 gallons Of spirits, 80 of wine, and
1000 OF beer annually.
The State OF New York has %, l46
licensed sellers, or one for every $50 OF
its population, while one in 60 to one in
80 of it's people are engaged in these
liquor stores. The city of New York
has 7lS1 licensed sellers of drink, or

CaDers OF Lightning.

The lightning cuts up some queer
capers sometimes, and q narrow escape
from death is told by one of the Connec.
ticut papers. "The electric fluid en-
tered at the window of a room in the
second story, where a boy lay in bed
but no. asleep. 1t leaped across the
room to the wall, crossing the bed
where the boy lay, and tore both the
sheets on the bed into fragments, scorch.
ing one badly. but leaving the boy un'
harmed. 1t ripped lath and plastering
from the wall, and scattered them all
over the room. Then it descended to
the lower floor, and into closet,
smashing large quantity of crock
cry. 1t hurled two lamps from
a mantlepiece in the kitchen across
the room, overturned and smashed
a clock on the other side Of
the chimney, and then separated
into three bolts, two OF which went
down through q brick hearth into the
cellar, while the third went out at the
side OF the house, ripping the boards in
pieces. The boy, wild with fear, came
rushing down stairs, entirely naked, and
don't recollect whether be took off his
night shirt himself or whetherthe light
ming took it off for him. He was un,
harmed, not even stunned. He said
that he lay 'cuddled down into the bed
"a large feather bed), with the clothes
drawn up over his head so that he
could not see the lightning. and that
there was a noise as if some one had
fired cannon in his ears; that there
was burning heat and general tumb-
ling-up of everything, and that he
thought he had stayed there about
long enough, and so went down stairs.
