much to promise for Gov. Flden. But we
may answer by pointing to the great re.
forms he has personally effected in the

peated explicit pledges o: reform that lie
has given. lie would not have to FIGHT

CINCINNATI, October S.
The Cincinnati Enquirer will publish to-
morrow Especial dispatch from New York

doubt. The latter State is of special i'm

have held their own in the Congressional
