Secretary Chandler and Mccormick,
the two hard-Working men Of the COM
mittee, are in almost hourly receipt Of
news from all parts oil The country, and
to-day stated to your correspondent that
the improvement Of last week in Indiana,
Wisconsin, Connecticut, New Jersey, the
Carolinas, Florida and Louisiana, with
the wonderful reaction in this State, rem
ders the election Of Hayes and Wheeler
beyond doubt. Some parts Of Pennsyl-
vania, the Lehigh and other mining dis
tricts, report signs OF disafFection, owing
to the suspension OF labor and the dis.
tress among working people generally,
but whatever this may amount 10 may
be more than Offset by other parts OF the
State and especially Philadelphia. New
York, however, absorbs all other points,
and l doubt whether there ever was such
a political campaign az is now going on
in this State. Tammany in It's palmiest
days was never so much exercised nor its
working machinery in better order, and
its leaders, commencing with Tilden, have
realized in the last few days that If the
State is to be saved II must be, done by
most hercnlean efforts, in this city, and
that unless majority can be swelled up
to over $4,000 they are lost On the
other hand the action that has taken place
among the Republicans and the activity
they are maniiesting Is spreading great
alarm and will break up more than one lit.

"to vote early and often" There has
been more active work done in this city
during the last week than for month

noticeable features Of the canvass in this

SEw YoRK, November 6.-InformatiOn
from the most Trustworthy sources, in.
cluding our own specials and dispatches
to the Republican National Committee,
as late "a s o'clock this evening, indicate
that all doubt about the election Of Hayes
and Wheeler has been removed by the
extraordinary manifestations OF public
sentiment during the last ten days. Es.
pecially in this city has great change
taken place, eviuced by votes at public
places, notably at the New York Stock Et.
change, where ten days ago, there was .
majority for Tilden, while on Friday, the
vote stood 1893 for Hayes to 2O4 for Til
den. Many similar changes are noted,
caused by the general uprising Of the bank
ers, merchants manufacturers, and other
business men, produced in 4 great meas
ure by the general conviction that the
election OF Tilden means the imposition
upon tbe country Of great burden Of
debt and taxation to pay war claims.
The fact that Mr.. Tilden's frantic call
upon the Southern Democrats to save his
election, by swearing not to press the war
claims, has been responded to by only five
out Of the fourteen Southern States ap.
pealed to and not by Missouri, which has

and the gamblers in the pool-rooms, who

As a summary of the present indica.

Democratic frauds in this city will be
prevented, and the majority kept down to
$4,000 or 10000, which will be more than
overcome by the interior Of the State;

The Republican Demonstration
Down nc PoWhnttan.


The Republican meeting and torch
light procession at Powhattan, Ohio, on
last Saturday evening, was largely at
tended. It was a grand rally OF the Re.
publican citizens Of that place and yicin-
ity, which will doubtless swell the ballot
for Hayes on the eventful day. AT an
early hour the streets began to be crowd.
ed with spectators, men, women and
children, anxiously waiting to see the
grand torchlight procession, which was
announced 10 be the first thing on the
programme. But it was thought best by
the officers in charge to hear the speeches
OF the evening before the march. The
hall intended for the occasion not being
sufficiently large to hold the people, the
speakers were compelled to speak from
a platform in the open air. The audi.
ence was first addressed by Col. Poorman,
a noted and veteran politician, Of Bel.
laire; followed by F. L. Campbell, Esq,
Of Washington City; also Capt. Lee, Of
Bellaire. The speeches were eloquent
and effective, replste with solid thought,
telling facts and figures, with humorous
expose Of Democratic professions Of re-
form.
Great applause was ELECTED by the
speakers; but here and there were little
groups Of Democrats, regarding with
fierce disgust the abundant evidence Of
enthusiasm manifested by the large as.
semblage present as compared with the
one they had the evening before.
The procession was made up Of several
Companies OF the Hayes and Wheeler
boys OF Bellaire, under Captains Garrett,
Kiser and Lee; and the Powhattan
Club bearing torches and banners.
Flags were flying to the breeze, and
transparencies with appropriate notices
were borne alott. The procession parad.
ed the principal streets headed by bands
ofmusic. In the rear was the Ship Of
State in the form OF a huge skiff hansome-
ly decorated with evergreens and lights.
in which were thirty-eight ladies, re-
preventative Of the States. Many OF the
houses were brilliantly illuminated.
