ter, but under the leadership of the old
rebel element it committed Q series of blum
ders 90 glaring - to elicit only the scorn
and contempt of the loyal masses. The
esgerness it displayed to pull down all that
had been accomplished by Republicans, to
repeal acts when beneficial effects were
Just beginning to be felt throughout the
country, is but . foretaste Of what may be
expected when it is clothed with power.
The excitement here in regard to the can
vsss in Ohio and Indiana continues to in.
crease. From information obtained from
reliable sources there is no doubt that the
Ohio Republican, will elect their ticket on
the tenth of October next. Some fears are
entertained for Barnes on account of his
having been . temperance crusader, but
then it is claimed that what he will lose
from this cause will be made good by gains
from the temperance men. The Repub-
lican nominees for Congress are men of
ability and character, and making allow
ance for all possible losses, it is believed
that Barnes will carry the Stato by larger
majority than Hayes did last year. With q
possible loss of one, there will be Repub-
lican gain of seven or eight members of
Congress.
In Indiana the fray grows hot. Such
monster mass meetings have never been
known in the State before as are being held
by the Republicans. At the grand rally on
the Tippacsnoe battle ground, it is es
timated that over 20 900 persons we're pres
ent and the enthusiasm unbounded. Power.
full speeches were made by General Har-
rison, James G. Blaine, General Fitzpatrick
and others.
The recent speech by Colonel Bob Inger-
soil to the Boys in Blue at Indianapolis
has been the absorbing topic of converse
tion among Republicans here since it was
first received. Of all his eloquent, mastery
efforts, this is said to be tho finest he has
ever delivered. He is another Harry of
the West" and . perfect wonder of elo-
quence and power. This speech will long
be remembered by those who heard it. And
now Senator Conkling comes to the front,
as appears from . Utica dispatch, and will
make his first speech Of the campaign in the
Utica Opera House on Tuesday evening
next.
The success of the new four-snd-a-half
per cent loan is beyond all precedent in our
financial affairs. In less than three weeks
$iO,000.OO0 of this loan has been subscribed
for, and it is confidently expected by the
Treasury Department that the whole
$500, 100000 will be speedily absorbed.
This is Republican fnanciering, and as .
political barometer, shows the faith that
large capitalists have in the success of the
Republican party next November. Capital
is sensitive, and if it was believed by the
business men of the country that there was
any chance for the Tldenites to get control
of our government, and by their financial
policy unsettle securities and bring about a
shrinkage of values, they would be very
chary about taking hold of the new loan.
Democrats who are bondholders will more
than likely take this view of the matter,
and hesitate about placing in power party
which by its financial policy will disturb
the stability Of their securities.
Centennial visitors continue to pour in
and out of the city. The centennial year
will do much for Washington, not by the
amount these visitors leave here, but by the
impressions they carry away with them.
Washington is now the most beautiful
city in this country, and is destined to be
the most healthy and beautiful city in the
world. These visitors 60 away feeling that
the capital Of the nation is common prop
erty in which all have an interest and all
should have q pride. The denunciations
which have been spread broadcast by the
press of the country have done much to
prejudice the minds of people at Q distance,
but this disappears as soon - they ''see
with their own eyes" Every courtesy
should be shown these visitors, 90 that they
may return to their homes with pleasant
recollections of their country's capital.
