northern parts of the state. There
seemed to be much less life and energy
among the Republicans than there
ought to be. The Senator feared they
would not warm W To their work be-
fore the election. But the enthusiasm
in the southern counties has removed
all doubts. At the very points we had

DEMOCRATS DELUpING THEMSELVES.
The Democrats are deluding them-
selves in Ohio. after the manner of
Uncle William Allen. They are toa
unwarranted extent assuming possess
sion of the people; and they are cult
waiting for themselves sore disappoint-
ment. The meetings of the Repubi-
cans, last week, in all parts of the
State, looked like victory. Taft and
Hayes had laundering time at Ak

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial
CLEVELAND, Sept. 2l.-Mr. John
Tod, of this city, eldest son of the late
Governor Tod, has written to General
Woodford, who speaks in Youngstown
on the finances tonight, the following
letter. 1t is significant from the fact
that MIR. Tod ia a heavy iron and coal
proprietor in the Mahoning Valley,
and is, moreover, politically Demo
crat. General Woodford's speech in
NnnnuGfnu-E Il IN aan,nI al ,l,
he has delivered there during his pres
ent visit to Ohio. They like a strong
antidote to initiation down there, and
he gives it to them. Mr.. Tod writes
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 81.
Hon. Ste1Odrt l.. Woodford:
DEAR SIR greatly regret that /
can not go with you to my native city
of Youngstown, where all my business
interests in coal and iron are located,
and attend the meeting which you are
to address this evening. | wish to aid
the Republican party of Ohio, as far
az | can, in its efforts to dispose of this
Democratic idea of initiation. The
only true way to relieve the present
embarrassing condition of the country
is to return to aspecie basis at the earl
lest practicable moment, because until
money has an absolute and certain
value, business can not be conducted
on fixed business principles, but is
simply gambling.
Very respectfully, JOHN TOD.
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gaze te.
WASHINGTON, Sept. q.
There is universal good feeling here
0mong Republicans over the an
nOuncemeut that Gen. Schurz is to
take part in the Ohio campaign. I'm
mediately upon his arrival becoming
known here, steps were taken 10 in
duce him to do this.
Information from New York,
brought by Democrats directly from
some of the leading Democratic mon
eyed men, is to the affect that the
position of their party in Ohio and
Pennsylvania has already begun ger
ceptibly to effect our credit abroad,
and that if Ohio goes Democratic next
month the financial injury done
abroad will be very great. These
moneyed men are actively engaged in
creating feeling among Democrats
against the Ohio ticket, and have even
expressed Willingness to subscribe to
Republican campaign expenses.
The Cincinnati Gazette editorially
says:
Leading New York Democrats init
mate their willingness to subscribe
money TO the Republican campaign
expenses in Ohio. We think, however,
We shall be able to distinguished Bill
Allenlsm without any foreign help.
George E. Pugh was to have declar-
ed his views on finances and things at
Lima, last night. The event was an
| ticipated with some Interest under the
circumstances, and reporters and Dem
ocrats gathered in considerable num-
bers, but George did not come. Pers
haps the pressure from New York was
too great
The New York Tribune, referring
editorially to Gov. Aliens fifty speech
es of the canvass, says:
They all resemble the rollicking,
roaring talk of an ignorant loafer be-
fore bar-rOom fire, who gives his
opinion, between drinks, on science,
religion and government, from the
| point of view of his own momentary
whim, without the slightest regard for
law, for fact, or for moral sense. As
long as he hears an occasional "That's
80, jake" or go for 'em, Billy,u his
valuable TRADE goes on, without
gllmmer of conference or Responsible
ty. YET this sort of gable made Mr..
Allen Governor of one of the greatest
Commonwealth of the Union, and he
fully expects to be reelected by it.

loving is the call addressed to Hon.

reply:
CINcINNATI, o., Sept. 2O.-Hon.
Carl Schurz: The main question un-
der discussion, in view Of the approach
ing election in this State, is whether

and business men we invite you to
come to Ohio and present in public
speeches your views upon the cause at
