Cheering Outlook In Ohio.

THE TURN OF THE TIDE-DEMoCRATIC
VICTORY ASSURED IN OCTOBER AND
NOVEMBER.
From the special correspondent of the World
CINCINNATI, October IL desire to
record prophecy. Ohio will elect a
Democratic Secretary of State at the ap-
preaching election. A month ago
would have taken a person making such
an assertion for a lunatic, and so would
two-thirds of the observing men of the
State. Thirty days ago the tide was set
ting the other way; but the turn has
come, and come with such steadily in
creasing swell that no influence that can
be brought to bear between now and the
10th of October can check its course.
This is prediction based upon facts
gathered in the course of an extensive
tour of the State.
In almost every locality l have met
persons who voted for Hayes when he ran
for Governor last fall who will not SUD-
port him for the Presidency at the forth
coming election, and in but few instances
have met or heard of voters who voted
for Allen, last fall, who will not support
Tilden and the whole Democratic ticket
this time. In addition to this vote there
will be very large gain ON the head of
the State ticket-Alr. Bell, candidate for
Secretary Of State-because of the CRU
SADIE record of his Republican rival, Mr..
Barnes. This gain will come chiefly from
the Republican Germans, many of whom
will vote for Bell in October who will not
support the Democratic ticket in Novem-
Der. Still another element that enters
into the campaign (and very powerful
| one it is) is the geneIal-unreasonin it
may be-desire for change that has
grown out Of the long continued hard
times. While this class of voters could
not, if pressed tell very clearly how a
change of administration was going to
make times better, they can all very
readily answer that it couldn't possibly
make times worse; and acting upon this
idea, they will give the Democracy the
! the benefit of the doubt by voting the
whole ticket, local, State and National.
Our largest gains will, however, be in
the centres of the German population
the cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland and
Toledo. This class of voters, disguised
with the fanaticism of the temperance cru
saders, came to us in almost a solid body
two years ago, and would have remained
in the fold had it not been for the soft
money lunacy of last years campaign.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
PRESIDENTS GRANTS FEARS CONCERN
ING IT.

ING IT.
A reporter of the Pittsburg Dispatch
has achieved an interview with President
Grant, at Washington, Pa, and thus gives
the Presidents ideas concerning the next
Congress-
"Did you think that there is likeli-
hood that the next Congress will be as
strongly Democratic as the present one?"
s'There is the great danger. fear that
in the excitement or the Presidential
election the great importance of the cleo
tions for members of Congress and of State
Legislatures, who will be called upon to
elect United States Senators, will be over
looked. There is great need of using
every effort to return Republicans from
every Congressional district, and repeat
the danger to the country lies in these cleo
tions."
"But the people seem to have the i'm
preston that the Upper House cannot be
much effected by this election. Is that
branch of the Government threatened"
"That is where the principel danger is.
At present we have only small majority
in the Senate, and all the States that will
elect Senators this fall cannot be regar-
ded complacently by the Republican
party. A successor will have to be elected
to Senator Frelinghuysen from New jersey.
There are fears that we may lose him, by
having Democrat return in his place.
Then there has been or will be elections
in Oregan, Florida Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Mississippi, and South Carolina.
In the case of Oregon the Legislature has
already been elected; it is Democratic,
and will elect a Democrat. But (taking
up paper and glancing at the returns
from Colorado) Colorado will overbalance
that.

Triumph for the Knabe Plano,

A Diploma of HOnOr-Meddl of Merit
and Certificate of Distinction at the
Centennial.
PHILADELPHIA, October I'd, 1885,
Messrs. VIM. Knabe & Co., have won a
great victory, and they are to be congratu-
lated. They triumph over all competi-
tors in the Piano-Fote Department, and
have been awarded the highest honors in
the power of the Centennial authorities
to bestow. The Judge of awards and the
Centennial Commission have unanimous.
ly decreed them the diploma of honor, the
medal of merit, and, in addition, a GER
tificate of distinction. The reports of the
Judges specifying the elements of merit
are the only reliable exponents of their
decisions, and their report on the Knabe
pianos states that their instruments pos
sess the highest excellence, and that they
more nearly approach perfection than any
other, in power, in richness and sympa-
thetic quality Of tone, in ease and GER
tainty of action, and in elegance and
durability of workmanship. This leaves
nothing to be desired, and in recognizing
and commencing this rare combination OF
qualities in all their styles, of Grands,
Squares and Uprights, the Judges have
acted wisely, and have been endorsed and
ratified the opinion of the great majority
of visitors at the Centennial. The Mes
srs. Knabe & Co., have made less noise,
and have been more sparing in the use of
bombast than some of their competitors,
preferring to leave with the judges the
duty of determining which pianos were
really the best. The Judges were all ex-
perts, and they have honestly rendered
their verdict in favor of the Knabe Piano.
The public will doubtless commend their
action.

Popular feeling in England has been
more strongly excited by the Bulgarian
atrocities than by any matter that has oc-
Cured for many years. The demand now
is that Parliament be called together to
take decided action on the Eastern ques
ton, and a constant succession of i'm
mense meetings are being held at which
the subject is agitated. Mr.. Conway
writing to the Cincinnati Commercial
says:
If the popular feeling becomes irresist-
ible the government will probably order
a new general election in order to stavt
off the evil day. Gladstone resigned and
dissolved Parliament, with majority O.
sixty behind him in the Commons, anG
the popular feeling before which he had
to bend was not nearly so strong as that
which at present sweeps through the
country. II is guilty impossible to convey
on paper any glimpse of this uprising of
the English people. The only thing COM
parable to it which 1 have ever seen was
the uprising of the North at the cannon
ade at Fort Sumter. Every night 1.-The
hundreds of public halls in London are
thronged with clamorous multitudes Of
women as we'll as men, and no voice
breaks the unanimity of their indigna-
ton.
This tempest of feeling is largely due to
the irTitative tlippancy with which Mr..
Disraeli treated the subject. He denied
and belittled the accounts of the atroci-
ties as long as he could, and when the
public mind was awakened to their full
enormity he was no longer able to guide
public sentiment. His peevish speech de-
precating the agitation now going on only
intensified public indignation, and il
looks as if he will find himself without a
majority when Parliament meets again.

HOW r RANDALL MADE HIS FIG GUREs.

Following up our remarks in former
article upon the boasted economy of the
ex-Confederate House, we propose to show
by the figures in what Sam Randalrs
boasted economy consisted. Senator Win
dom divided his indictment of the party
into two counts-false statements of the
amounts of reduction in the appropriations
from last year, and the false character of
the reductions which were made 1t will
appear most clearly that of the forty mil
lions reduction claimed by Randall at least
nine millions are falsely claimed, leaving
about thirty millions instead of forty. This
error of over nine millions is made by in
PRODUCING into the balance the following
First, creditIng q difference in deficiency
bills amounting to over 81, 900, 600. 1t was
plainly evident that this difference had no
reference to comparison between the ap-
preparations of last year and those of the
present year. Second, N failing to take
account of the Unexpended appropriations
of the last fiscal year reappropriated by the
House for the current fiscal year. This
amounts to the sum of 81 ,SO7, 900.
Then there are various special appro-
priations made for the present fiscal year,
amounting to the sum of 81, 4,083, 900, of
which no account is taken. The gentle
men who put forth the vaunted pretension
of S39, ,000, 900 saved, were either grossly
careless in the preparation of their state
ment or else grossly dishonest; for it is per
fectly evident, even to a school boy, that
the 5000, 900 referred to should be sub
tracted from the S39, 900, 900,
When these corrections are made, in
cluding errors of computation in the House
statement, the true net reduction by the
House bills appears to be S29, ,594, 1873.

preceding the outburst of the rebellion.
