New-York tribune., 1876-10-03

Cerman Democrats Nor is there q school question
to alarm the Lutherans and the other ant-C Catholic
German sects; and that howlsg humbug Sam
Cary is unfortunately not upon the Democratic
ticket If the Republicans get for the state
ticket our old average majority in brisk
campaigns Of 1000 they will do well. The Germans
have not deserted in a body as the Democratic man.
ayers at Columbus pretend to believe but they are
divided about as they used to be. The course of Nh
Theme and his paper Der Udechtor an Eric in go
ing over TO Tilden through the door of the Fifth
Avpuue Hotel Conference has undoubtedly had some
effect but the plain Inconsistency of supporting
HAYES for Governor one year and opposing him for
President the next is appreciated by the mass OF IN
telligent Germans. The danger of losing the
State through want of effort began to dawn
upon prominent Republicans here about fort
night ago, and since then there has been
q very marked change in the tone OF
the canvass. Clubs have been organized in all the
wards of the city two or three in some of them, and
in all the country towns, and matters begin to look
a good deal as they do in Indiana. These cold
booded Clevelanders, who appear to get their tenn
perament from tneir chilly lake Winds are actually
warmed up at last and taking hold of politics in
earnest. The business men of Superior, Bank, and
Water-sts, and even the arstocrats of Eucld-ave.,
have agreed to carry torches in the procession at
the great demonstration to take place when MIR.
Blaine comes here next week. Nothing could more
forchly show the interest fell hy the best classes OF
Republicans in the election. 1t is The best omen ot
Republican victory have seen in the State. The
business men here are convinced that Democratic
triumph would unsettlc public confidence in the
financial policy of the Government, reopen all ones
tions affecting the currency and che bonds which
the Republican party has settled, and 80 fill the
public mind with apprehension of uuwisc tnkerhg
with legislation affecting monetary and general
business interests as to indefinitely postpone the adj
vent of a new era of prosperity winch now appears
SO near ut hand.
Throughout the Western Reserve the spirit ami
mating Republicans here begins TO be everywhere
manifested General activity has taken the place
Of general apathy aud the report that comes IN
from all quarters is that the full vote will be got
out The estimate of the Republican leaders here Is
that the decreased majority in this county will he
compensated for by gains in Ashtabula, Geauea'
Portage. and other heavy Republican counties, so
that the State ticket will 20 of the Reserve with as
large a majority as Gov. Hayes received last year.
1t will be remembered that in the mining and
irOn-wOrking districts the Republicans lost heavily
last Fail, notably in Youngstown. Mas,iloh, Steu-
bcnyille. and Portsmouth. In all those localities
they will make important gains. Eepubhcans VINO

many of them are bacl, in their old ranks Judge
Kelley. who furnished them with the arguments to
Justify their descrton a year ago. has been around,
telling shcm that there hope for the success
of their theories from the Republicans than from the
treaghcrous and unprinciplod Democrats, 80 that
they are now furnished with what most Of them
were waiting fora plausible reason for returning
to their former allegiance.
With the Western Reserve promising its last
years majority, and with gains infhc coal and iron
regions and a large gain in Hamilton County to
count uuon there would to be no reason 20 ap-
plchend defeat. he only locality where there Is
likely 10 lie Democratic gain outside OF Clc'ci1id
ism Dayton. There the inmates Of the Soldiera
Home. three-fourths of them foreigners, have been
captured by the local Democratic politicians ana
are going TO mmatcfully vote against the party
that feeds and shelters them. In all the rest OF the
State the signs are encouraging. ] visited thc
