TO Mr. Bell
..And where will their vote 60 nowf"
Mr. Bell nigh. have said, Thereby hangs a tale;'
but he less poetic and more logical in hrs answer.
sThe prohibitionsts had another Convention here in
Columbus not long ago, and they adopted resou

lcan Legislature whom they helped to elect last
proving false TO their pledges Of reform the matter
OF tho liquor business You see they poured petitions
perance cause and they have been sadly disappointed
According to this the prohibitionsss are not In love
with the republican tickctY"

resolved pretty generally TO stand by their own organ

"Wc have them with US this year. When speak Of

In OHIO who are reconciled to us on account o tho
hard money principles OF Mr.. Tilden."

Aud here the speaker added characteristic sentence
In which, for the rst time, he unbcnded into the jolly
sort OF fellow hc had been described to me by all who
had told me OF him.
''You can't accomplish anything that Is cxcellont
without labor, and am not laborng without hope. II
am beaten shall have the assurance OF having given
the other side dusty hunt"
Remember" he went on, 81 don't despiso my CON-
pcttor when tell you Mr. Barnes is gentleman
in every sense OF the word but he is impructicablc
and 1t would be very difficult to mako him Otherwise.

q. THOMPSON
In my further search Tor light upon the probable re-
suit OF the contest in October agnin called upon
e.. le
cratic Genital Committee, whom found. as before,
immersed IN business.
"Weil Colonel" said, ''they give you no rest in
this work 90
"Thcy keep comfortably busy " he returned, SEN
tentiously, and tearing open telegram
"I am gong TO ask you plump question this time.
On whs. calculation do you expect to succeed lext

He pausei In perusing his kilograms and got inter.
csted
"A simple one. We elected Bell two years ago by
Il. 7.0C0 majority Last year were bcaion by plu-
raIty OF $500 Tor Hayes. II you deduct the 1900
votes cast prohibition candidate the majority
OF Hayes less than 5000. But il is n fact
that In the total State officers the gubernato
rial about 500 behind the average vote for
the rest OF the tckok Most OF those 800 were prob
ably democrats"
(rhc inference was that they had scratched" the
name Governor Allen from their ballots nnd voted
the rest OF the ticket but tho speaker didn't wish to
1--WE discovered the fact alterward. Now further
allowance Tor these dscontcnted democrats shows that
with all the disadvantages we were contending against
Hayes majority was really nothing. The republicans
got the offices, but they didn't get the fight The
democrats didn't regard It as defeat, and they didn't
therefore, look upon II as q republican victory"
''Mr Tilden is said to be hard At work organizing
Ohioy"
'.Ohio is already organized thoroughy-(sharplyl
We do not know what Mr. Tiden is doing beyond send
ing documents 10 the names we havo furnished. But
the democrats of ONO claim to have the best, the
most efficient political organization In the country"
(proud!y.)
returned to the original topic
"Your strength tins year Will como in part from
Barnes wcakness"
'rhat's It. Barnes is n crusader On account OF
him tho republicans will lose all the Independent, lib
erdl German vote.
''you do not liberal in Its political senseY"
"No; mean liberal minded men And they will
lose good ,iany Of the liberal class. among Ameri
we'll Us among the Germans-men who do not
believe in the bgoted and prejudced ideas OF the cru
saders"
''what Is the report from the greenback mens"
'fhey have orsanizeu and Will vote tickets ior Con-
gress in the Sixth and Seventeenth districts, II
memoer right, but they arc not opposing the State
ticket. They will vote for Bell"
Another plain question. Boosting and extrava-

Hardly, bu. he will at least pull down Garasds ma.

Observation-Disclosures
1t Is safe to predict that the contest will be very
close. The ejaculation OF the republicans that they
have placated the Germans, whose dcsertion the
OF their defeat 1874 is upset by the vigorous
use the democrats have made of Barnes connection
with the crusaders Franz Sge has also given partial
check to Carl Schurz the effort this vote,

1t would be folly to allow anything for the liberals in
opposition either to Governor Hayes or the republican
