TWENTY THOUSAND MAJORITY FOR HAYES PRE-
DICTED-THE EFFORTS TO SECURE THE SILENT
voTE-wHo ARE ENGAGED ON EACH SIDE ON
THE STUMP.
IBY TELEGRAPH FROM STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF The

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 5.-The Ohio campaign is
still pushed Oh both sides with extraordinary zeal
and activity. Neither party will stop to take breath
until the coming of election day. The leaders OF
each continue to profess entire confidence OF
victory, but the confidence of the Repub-
lcans is of the quiet kind which is born OF
knowledge, while that of the Democrats springs
rather from their extravagant hopes. The RepuD-
lcans always show the figures upon which they
found their expectations of success but all that can
be got from their adversares is boasful talk OF the
sody of their party, and inflated estimates OF the
accessiOns it has received on the money question:.
All political signs point distinctly to the election OF
Hayes If these signs prove misleading, 1T VIII be
because the Republican party is undermined and
weakened by the initiation delusOn to an extent
which its chiefs do not dream OF. On
the surface, there are no indications
Of such a condition. Appearances are
that but few thousands of Republicans will go
over to Alen to signify their acceptance of his rag
money doctrines and that their detection will be
fully made up by the hard money Democrats who
will not vote at all, and by the Germans who voted
for Allen two years ago and are now supporting
Hayes. Taking Aliens trfing majority of 500 in
1878 as basis for calculation, it Is easy to hgure
out majority for Hayes next Tuesday of over
10000 from data that are as trustworthy as any
political data ever are before election. When shown
these figures the Democratic leaders admit their
force and frankly say that they depend on the silent
vote of former Republicans to carry their ticket
through.
The fate of initiation is TO be settled by this silent
VOTE and it is to this vote that both parties
have sent troops of stump orators all the State
aud have prosecuted the most remarkable campaign
of argument that Ohio has witnessed for many years
The fire of speeches has not slackened in the least
1t will be kept up until Monday night with undated
vigor On the Republican side, Gen. Hayes con-
tnues his effective canvass, often speaking twice
day. He will spend the next three days in the north
western counties and will make his closing effort at
Oberlin on Saturday. Stewart L.WOodford speaks at
Gallon tonight, and will make his final effort at
Tifin on Friday. His services to the cause OF
honest currency are spoken Of in the highest terms
Carl Schurz makes the last of his speeches for
the State Committee at Canton tonight, but has ac
cepted invitations from the people of Wooster and
Mansfield, and will probably not be allowed to
leave the State until the end of the week.
Senator Sherman and Congressman Burrows OF
Michigan are stumping the Western Re-
serve counties. Col. GrOsvenOr of Missouri is
in the SOUTHEAST. Congressman Hale of
Maine is on the line of the Pittsburgh and Fort
WAYNE Railroad Senator Ingalls, of Kansas will
start at Urbana tomorrow, and work across the
State TO Bellair. Senator Dawes Of Massachusetts,
will make three speeches this week, at Ravenna,
Painesvle, and Cincinnati. Gen. Garfield, ex-Goy.
Moves the Hon. Alphonso Taft, aud host Of others,
are also doing efficient work.
The Democrats make fully as formidable show
of speakers Gov. Allen will keep on the stump un-
til the last moment. He speaks tonight at Cincn-
natl and following the river counties, will end this
remarkable canvass at Chillicothe on Monday even
inr Already he has made over 30 speeches, and has
visited more than half the counties III the State.
Gen. Sam Cary, to whom talking comes by nature,
has made so speeches and has nearly a dozen
more to make George II. Pendleton and Gen. Thos.
Ewing keep the stump constantly, and are probably
the most effective of the soft-money advocates.
Senator Thurman has made in all, IL speeches,
without doing himself or his party any good. Daniel
w voorhees, of Indiana spoke at Loveland near Gin
cinnati, Yesterday and is to traverse the State
diaqonally TO YOUNGSTOWN. Gov. Hendricks, al
thongh he had completed his appointments
some days ago. came over 10 the LOveland
meeting. There is no question now about
his being down, and low down too, OH the
raq-money side OF the fence, upon which
he perched so long. In his speech yesterday he held
up a ten-cent note expatiated on its convenience,
and denounced the project TO substitute silver for
the fractional currency. The NEST notable recent
accession TO the Democratic corps of orators is
Gov. Curtin of Pennsylvania, who speaks every
night this week beginning at Cleveland and closing
at DAYTON 1t is said that he does not go the length
of advocating imitation, but talks of the evils to
come from a resumption of specie payments This
ia also the line of argument of Congressman Heister
Clymcr of Pennsylvania, who, only last Winter,
was a strong hard-money Democrat, and who should
be ashamed of himself for supporting Allen. Victor
f. Piollet the Democratic candidate for State Treas
urer of Pennsylvania, is also down for series of
meetings, beginning on Thursday He ought to be
at home fighting his own battle, but he no doubt
feels that Aliens cause and his are inseparable.
Half dozen other nfatonists from the same State,
of MINOR importance, are also here. Indiana fur
nshes a squad of orators of local celebrity, all fierce
for soft money, while Kentucky sends man Of real
weight Congressman James b. Beck, and Virginia
contributes an nex-Governor-Gilbert &. Walker.
