a BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR EHE Republican,

WITHDRAWAL
Special Dispatch to them Y. Times.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oot. 6.-As the canvass
draws to it's close, Republican confidence in
creases. Gen. Harrison returned Tonight
from hisktriumphsl tour of the State, in
which he was accompanied by Hon. Eugene
Hale, of Maine, and for the fcss time since
his nomination expressed the opinion that
he would be elected. sir. Hale said be
would stake his reputation as a politica
prophet on Republican success in Indiana.
1t was not, he SAID, the vast meetings lie had
addressed, nor the great proces sions he had
seen. which led him to this conclu-
sion, but everywhere he had been
he had talked with men on the
prospects in their immediate neigh
borhood, and in no case had hn failed TO
find that in each neighborhood there was
one Cor more) who was for the fret time in
his life going to vote the Republican ticket
This, he said, settled matters in his mind
and if he were betting man he would give
odds on HsTrison's election. This Is the
judgment Of every candid observer The
withdrawal OF 7Yolcott, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, has dismayed the
Democrats, and all sorts of lies are being
resorted to to break it's force.

FRANK MAYo's "DAvY CROCKETT" LAST EVEN
INa-PERFoRMANoE TONIGHT.
Frank Mayo's "Davy Crockett" was pre-
sented last evening to an audience consist
ing OF full gallery and a rather thinly pop
Mated lower house an unbalanced state of
affairs from which we conclude that many
fastidious play-goers may have been de-
tered rather than attracted by the staring
posters with their melodramatic pictures
which are used to announce this play. Yet,
in reality, those sensational advertisements
in no way give fair idea Of the real merits
Of this backwoods idyl, in which Mr.. Mayo
develops u character unique and startlingly
realistic Its modest reticence, its colloqul-
al naturalness, the subdued tone Of even
the most pathetic and passionate passages
are in wide contrast with the bombast
into which an inferior artist might
be betrayed by such melodramatic situa-
tions. AS a love story pure and simple no
more delightful play than ''Davy Crockett, .
as rendered by Mr.. Mayo, holds possession
of the stage and we are sorry for those who
have allowed themselves to miss what may
be their last opportunity of seeing it in this
city. The play of tonight will no doubt,
however, have special merits of its own of
a different sort.
The support given Mr.. Mayo by the prin-
cipal members of the company, last even
ing, was very fair, and the whole perform
ance creditable.

DIPLOMA OF HoNoR-MEDAL OF MERIT AND
CERTIFICATE OF DISTINCTION AT THE CEN
TEHHIAL
PHILADELPHIA, October 2, 1s76.-Messre.
VIM. Knabe e. Co. have won a great vic
tory, and they are to be congratulated.
They triumph over all competitors in the
Piano Forte Department, and have been
awarded the highest honors in the power of
the Centennial authorities to bestow The
Judges of Awards and the Centennial Com
mission have unanimously decreed them
the Diploma of Honor, the Medal of Merit,
and, in addition, Certificate Of Distinc.
tion. The reports of the Judges specifying
the elements of merit are the only reliable
exponents of their decisions, aud their re-
port on the Knabe Pianos states that their
instruments possess the highest excel
lence, and that they more nearly
approach perfection than any other,
in power, richness and sympathetic quality
of tone in ease and certainty Of
action, and in elegance and durability of
workmanship. This leaves nothing to be
de ired and in recognizing and commencing
this rare combination OF qualities in all
their styles Of Grands, Squares and Up
rights, the Judges have acted wisely, and
have but endorsed and ratified the opinion
of the great majority of sitors at the Cen.
tennial. The Messrs. Knabe d Co. have
made lees noise, and haYe been more spar
ing in the use of bombast than some of
their competitors, preferring 10 leave with
the Judges the duty of determining which
Pianos were really the best. The Judges
were all experts, and they haye honestly rem
dered their verdict in favor of the Kuabe
Piano. The public will doubtless commend
their action.

A LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE Or

NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Rooms
New York Oct. 6.
To the Editor of the Nelo York Times
wish to correct some of the mistakes in
theletter which was published in the World,
Sun, &C., on Wednesday, as coming from
Gov. Hayes Secretary; and First-Gov.
Hayes never was a member of the Ameri-
can Alliance. 5econd-He never saw the
constitution or bylaws of the organization.
Third-No committee of this order ever, at
any time, called on him, either at Column
bus, Philadelphia, or any other place, for
any purpose. We simply notified him by
letter that we indorsed his nomination,
in answer to which we received the letter
from his Secretary. That letter was taken
from my Office, aud was as much surprised
as any one can be TO rec it in print. l am
at a loss to see why those papers should
find any fault with the proceedings, as we
indorsed Mr.. Tilden for Governor two years
ago, and he found no fault with it, but on the
contrary was very grateful for the assist
ance, only he requested that it might be
kept secret, as, If it should become public,
he feared he might lose the foreign vote.
Respectfully yours, LEMUEL s TYLER,

There have been two men buried close by

Rebecod Clyde, wrecked on the morning of

They we're both about the same age, 35 or

vorable on Thursday, but the attendance
was very large, nearly 10000. The general
attendance keeps up well. Towns-people
are taking their last series of visits, now, in
addition to the strangers in the city, What
a season it has been
The announcement of the 10Th of Octo-
ber as delaware Day" has just beenImade.
Delaware is nearer to us than RhodeIIsland,
so the 10000 of yesterday ought to be far
exceeded on next Thursday week. That is
the day originally announced for the close
of the Exposition, it being the anniversary
of the surrender of CORVALLIS.
The cattle show closed this week. The
exhibition of sheep, goats and swine COM
mences next Tuesday. There was a sale of
short horn cattle on Wednesday at the Live

many of the States. In Pennsylvania there
are several women serving as directors and
one as superintendent, In Iowa and Illi-

and cattle must be sustained with what
will pay to feed them. Stall feeding
also increases the productiyeness OF the
land an thus increases the production
of wheat.
1t is therefore estimated that by low
ering the price of American corn ten
cents bushel OH laying il down at
Liverpool, the fifty million OF bushels
now annually consumed in Great Brit.
ain, of which 0ne-half is supplied
direct from the United States, will
rapidly increase until the export Of this
staple becomes one Of the standard ele-
ments in our foreign trade. We have
seen the computation that if American
wheat could be delivered in Liverpool,
at the average price Of 81 40, which is the
the average price Of Russian wheat In
that market from 1860 TO 1872, and II
American corn could be delivered in the
same market-at the average price OF ~
cents bushel, the export trade in both
these staples from this country would
speedily mount up to seyenty-tive million
bushels annually OF wheat, and two
hundred million bushels annually of
Indian corn. This would bring up our
cereal exports to level with that oi
cotton, where they should be. What we
need first is a sound currency and
duties that encourage an export trade

The snow storm.

The snow storm which is raging i'll this
locality to-day appears to prevail gen.
orally throughout the country, but more
especially in the Southwest and North
west. We find by the Signal Office re-
ports OF 7 O'Clock this morning that snow
is falling at Memphis, Nashville, and as
far South as Shreveport, Louisiana.
Snow is reported. also at st. Louis, at
Cairo and Chicago; at Fort Gibson, Ind.
Ter; at La Crosse, Wis; in the far
West, at Cheyenne and Virginia City;
while at other places, st. Paul, Leaven-
worth, Omaha, Davenport lowa), and
7 ahkton, it is either fair or clear weather.
Another polar wave is reported sweep
ing over the country from the Northwest.
The mercury at 7 A. NJ. to-day indi-
Gated eleven degrees below zero at Yank-
ton, thirty degrees below at ST.. Paul,
three above at Leayenworth, and three
below at Omaha. According to this we
may expect another very cold spell in
this vicinity by tomorrow OF Wednes-
day.
There is also low and falling Their
mometer in the far Southwest, but it is
reported rising at points due west, at
Pixies Peak and Denver, 1t being twen~
ty-one degrees above at the latter. This
probably indicates another quick feturn
to warm weather when this cold wave
shall have passed.
