AN EFFORT TO PREVENT THE RLEoTIoNloF SOFT
MONEY MAN-sAML. j. RANDALL THE ONLY PROM
INHNT CANDIDATE OF THAT PERSUASION.
Special Dispatch to the Baito. Sun.
WAsHINaToN, Oct. 7.
An .. important if true" rumor floating around
political circles to-day gained much credence.
1t was to the effect that great movement has
been set Oh foot intended to prevent the cleo
ton of any soft money Speaker Of the House.
The plan is in case an iDhationst should receive
the nomination in the democratic caucus, for the
republicans to concentrate their votes on hard
money democrat with the hope of inducing
enough democratic members Of that way OF
thinking to join with them to carry his election
against the caucus nominee. 1t is not known
that there is any very prominent soft money
candidate for speaker, unless MIR. Randall
claims to be such. II the intiationists win in
Ohio and Pennsylvania it might help the
chances of soft money man for the caucus
nomination very considerably, and if nominated
the force of dicipline in the democratic party is
so strong that it would be difficult if not impos-
slble to prevent his election. But if Ohio and
Pennsylvania go against the inhationists the re-
publicans need have no fear that the democrats
will put up soft money man for Speaker.

DISCOVERY OF SCHEME TO CHEAT REPUBLICAN
VOTERS BY MEANS OF INVISIBLE INK.
Special Dispatch to the Nelo York Times.
CINCINNATI, o., Oct. Z.
A rather startling discovery of the considera-
ton of fraudulent scheme to defeat the cleo
ton Of Hayes has been made to-day. 1t is al
legged that chemist from Alabama is here in
consultation with the Democratic committees,
State and local. concerning method of scratch
ing tickets with invisible ink, which he claims
has been successfully tried in his State.
The process is to obtain as many Republican
tickets aa possible and scratch the name of
Hayes with an invisible ink, and get
them into the hands of Republicans to vote.
With good organization it would not be difficult
to obtain and scratch many tickets at every poll.
Then Democratic confederate casts ballot in
which is wrapped powder which being shaken
in the ballot box developes the ink and makes
the scratch visible Thus Republican voters
would be cheated Of their design to vote for
Hayes in manner that would render subse-
quent detection useless il not impossible. The
scheme will be exposed in the State papere, and
voters will be placed on their guard.
