TO get an interview with apublc man
| here now one must, so to speak, catch
him by the coat tail, put finger in his
button hole, and ask why and wherefore.
They are all so busy darting about from
town to town, and from hlstings to
hustings that they have barrel y time to
eat their meals. Many leading politi-
clans are on the card for speech every
night up To the election, and for inter-
mediate speeches in the daytime. caught
q GLIMPSE of Senator Thurman as he de-
posted some letters for the mail just pre-
vious TO packing up for round OF stump
speaking in support of the Democratic
cause. In response to an inquiry US to
his opinion of the canvass, he said he
had lust come in from his farm, where
he had been rusticating and recupera
ting since his return from Washington n
month ago, and he was not prepared rs
vet to say much. He had talked, how
ever with the farmers, but they had
shown little disposition to talk of other
things than thei rcrops. They were be-
waiiing their ill.iortune that, with the
rpatest crop ever made, they were
,,orcr and worse OIL than ever. Pota-
ICES had sold rs low rs twenty-five cents
3, bushel here, in Columbus, and hay at
- per ton.
venturcd TO ask if the campaign had
not been conducted quite decorously, re-
ferring to the good feeling which has
prevailed so far IN OHIO.
Il hardly think So" he said; the
Republicans have called Mr.. Tilden all
sorts of names. They have dcnolgccd
him as a perjurer and swindler, and 1
don't know what else.
The Senator returned in few
minutes TO the distress OF agricultural in
terest.
"Yes," he said, "with the greatest crop
ever made the farmers do no! know what
to do with it, and what to think Of the
future. As ior corn it is n burden on
their hands, and they are helpless IN try
ing to dispose of it. In other times they
could feed it TO stock, but there Is no
money, and they are afraid to go into
hogs"
"But you think Ohio will 60 Demo-
cratic, do you not, Mr. Senator?
.If the election were to take place
to-day Ohio would 90 Democratic. Peo-
ple are of the state OF mind now that
such would be the result This is my
opinion; only, remember l shall be able
to tell better a week or two hence, after
have gone about among the people.
"What will the greenback men do?'
"They will vote for TiIden. They
are still greenback men and will re-
main SO. 1t will be gall and wormwood
to them to vote for Ti!den, but they
will do SO, every man of them, l think
:.And what will the farmers do?"
"a great many of the heretofore ke-
pubiicans of them will quietly vote for
Tilden, and the result will astonlsh that
party
"Why do they think they will do bet
ter under Tilden than under Hayes! .,
81 do not know for certain. Like all
people who feel the depression OF the
times they expect benefit from change

1t will be seen by the table that the
vote last year was the largest ever cast
in the state. The Republicans had ne'er
beeun before 20 reach their aggregate
vote of last fall, and yet their msjority
was but 5,544-not by any means sub
stantisl triumph in state bosstlngly
claimed as good Tor thirty thousand Re-
publican msority. 1t is well known that
the Germans were united against the De
mocracy last ia Il, and that large number
of other voters were drawn to the support
of HAYES by the agitation OF the schooI
ouestion. These were the two points OF
the campaign that turned the election IN
favor of the Republicans, nevertheless
they came through with only meagre
majority of 5,544 out of an aggregate
of $4,000.
This year it is certain that the total
vote will exceed six hundred thousand
If we apply the rule which Maine fur
nishes to Ohio the Democrats will gain
all the increase in the total vote. This
WAS the case in Maine where, while
the Republican vote was less than
it had been in a former
year the total vote was nearly five
thousand more than ever before. With
an aggregate vote of six hundred thou
sand IN Ohio, and the Democrats getting
all the increase over the poll of last
year-ss we have right to expect will
be the case-the Republicans will be
left in the minority by five thousand.
This without counting any benefit from
the natural advantages of the Democracy
in the pending campaign, but by simply
applying the sscertsined percentages OF
gain in the Vermont and Maine cleo
tions.
The more thoroughly advantageous
features OF the situation are: First, the
school question is wholly out of the can
vass now, and the Radical hurrsh about
it is shown to have been a contemplate
electloneering sham; second, the Ger
mans are now rs solidly against the Re-
publican ticket as they were last year for
it, and third, there are q great many con-
versions of honest men to the cause OF
reform and good government. 1t Is
certain that the Democrats

HUNTINGTON, w. VA, September "a.
Yesterday was triumphant one Tor
the Democrats at Charleston. The Re-
publicans, headed by Gof: their kid
glove candidate for Governor, had a pole
raising there They attempted grand
rally, but it was miserable failure. A
few respectable Republicans, who came
in IRON the country, were disgusted with
the molly crew of four or five hundred,
nine .tenths of whom were negroes,
and left before the whitewash farce
and bloody-shirt dodge were exhibited.
Last night Captain Eustace Gibson,
candidate for the State Legislature
from Huntington, and Colonel w. ii.
Hogeman, of Charleston, addressed a
large and intensely enthusiastic meeting
in the interests of Tilden, Mathews and
reform. Captain Gibson proved himself
aH orator worthy Of attention, sub
jecting the Republican party
TO terrible arraignment for
mlsmanagement, robbery and C@;arism,
calling it to account for the condi-
tion of the south under
Its ruincus reconstruction policy.
He presented In clear and
forcible manner the superior claims
of our candidates, and especially called
attention to the fact that according to
Bob Ingersolps theory Hayes was with
out character, insomuch rs character is
based upon history, not prospectus.
Tllden had both history and y record as

AN ITEM appeared in the local columns
of the hteliigeneer yesterday morning
stating that gentleman interested in
collecting fund for the yellow fever
sufferers of Savannah had said that Mr.
GEORGE K. TINGLE, Democratic candI-
date for Sheriff, had refused TO sign a
communication asking for benefit at
the Opera House for the above purpose,
on the ground that we had no CONNER
cisl intercourse in Wheeling with Sa-
yannah.
The gentleman alluded to as having
made this statement desires us TO tatiy
contradict It. He admits that in prl-
yste conversation with the MtetilgGmcer
reporter. a conversation which he had
no idea would ever find its way into
print, he did mention the fact that
Mr.. TINGLE had declined To sign the
said communication. But he never limited
at the idea even, that MIR. TINGLE refused
10 siyn from so sordid and uncharitable Il
motive ss the reporter gives. lie FUR
thermore says, that in a subsequent con
yersation with Mr.. TINGLE, that gentle
man remarked that he would GLADLY
aid this or any other charitable
object to the limit OF his means; but he
did not wish to lead od in u communi-
cation of the character aforesaid, lest his
motives might be misconstrued. From
this it may be seen that Mr.. TlNGLES
position in the matter is worthy OF praise,
and what can we think of y party or
party paper which lends itselfto the small
ness OF retailing private conversation
to endeavor to excite prejudice and make
political capital? If that is the only
means the Radicals have for carrying on
the present campaign, they would do well
to abandon the field. Such conduct Will
make them more enemies than they can
ever hope to gain friends.

Boss Tweed-Farewell 10 spain.

VIao, Sept. 26.-The U. S. steamer
Franklin arrived here this morning.
Tweed was much surprised when told
that the Franklin was 10 take him TO the
United States. He had hoped or ar
irving IN Cuba 10 be able through the as
sistsnce and influence OF friends to avoid
being surrendered 10 the American
authorities. He expressed great disap-
pointment at the new aspect OF Affairs.
On the arrival of the Franklin Mr..
Adee, acting minister of the United
States instead of Gen Gushing, went on
board and conferred with her commander
in reference to the proposed transfer of
Tweed to the Franklin. The intention
is 10 remove the prisoners from their
present quarters to the steamer this
evening. During their confinement in
Castillo del Castro, Tweed and
Hunt were kept IN seperate rooms, close
ly guarded, and not allowed to commu-
nicate with each other. The Captain
General issued strict orders that no one
be allowed TO speak to them. Mr.. Adee
has been warned that Tweed may make
away with himself rather than return to
New York. The CO mmander of the
Franklin has, therefore, been instructed
to keep HIM strictly confined, and TO
leave him no chance to jump overheard.

The reading of the resolutions caused
considerable excitement, one delegate

these points-the Republicans concede
that. A change of one-balf OF one per
cent of the vote-oAe voter of each two
hundred-will give the state to the
Democrats, and who is to say that even
q greater change has not already taken
place. The Republicans have no reserve
vote to call out, as has been the case
frequently; they threw their complete
vote last fall.
These are the facts which have caused
the Republicans alarm, which have led
them to take Ohio out of the Republican
column and set it down with the doubt
