Carrying the Bloody Shirt IN
Procession.

Editors Intelllgeneer;
The Democracy Of this city and county
seem to take special pleasurein Haunting
the "bloody shirt" in the faces Of those
whose blood helped to stain II. The sight
Of the disgraceful transparency carried in
the "rebel' procession OF Friday will not
soon be erased from the memories Of
those whose nearest and dearest friends
gave their life blood TO stain the So
called bloody shirt. The gaping
wounds by rebel bullets bring cruel mem-
ories to the hearts OF the brave boys who
witnessed the reality Of that bloody shirt
transparency on many a hard fought battle
field Tor the defence Of their country.

fault with it, but on the contrary was very

The Possibilities aud ProbabiIi-
ties Of the Ohio Vote to-day.

Editors IntcllI;euccr:
On the vote Of Last year for Governor,
in total vote Of 592,GS2, Hayes received
207,S17, Allen 292, ,272, Odell 2,593.
II the vote tomorrow should be the
same, that would give us II and the Dem.
ocrats 0. Republicans districts: ID, 4th,
9th, 9Th, 10th, llth, 10th, 18th, 18th, 10Th
and 20th. The Democrats the lst, Sd, 9th,
7th, 18th, l4th and 10th.
A gain Of one.half Of one per cent by
the Republicans regains the 1st and Sd; a
gain OF one per cent will give them the
9th, which Il not improbable. The per.
sonal popularity Of nominees may secure
this result. The delegation would stand
IA Republicans, 6 Democrats. A loss Of
8 per cent on last years vote the dele
CATION would stand Democrats II, Re.
publicans 8. The prospect is favorable
TO the Republicans and we will secure
from 12 to IA OF the Congressman with
an increased total vote from 6O4,00O to
6l2,000, with a Republican majority
from II ,000to $4,000. This is supposing
gain Of per cent or more, which l
think is certain. The record Of the last
Congress, the personal popularity OF the
Republican nominees Is certainly a suf-
ficient guarantee for expecting such q
result after such thorough canvass oil
the position Of the parties.

SPANISH AFFAIRS IN CUBA.
In connection with the conflicting re-
ports relative to the Captain 6eneralship
Of Cuba, the correspondent Of the Stand.
ard at Madrid, writing to that Journal
under date OF October Sd, explains that
General Martinez Campas was summoned
to Madrid on the I'd Of October in conse-
quence OF the receipt by the government
Of the news OF the recent capture Of Las
funds by the Cuban insurgents.
General Martinez Campas conferred
with the War Minister and Senior Canova
Del Castillo, the Prime Minister, and
stated the terms on which he alone was
willing 10 assume the Captain General.
ship. These terms included draft OF
5000 men from the Spanish army, to be
shipped before November, in addition to
the 25, 900 already under orders. He also
demanded more artillery, and dwelt upon
the necessity OF an effective blockade, TO
be enforced by martial law. He further
demanded full and entire power TO deal
with all the questions Of reform and tax
alton without appeal. A Cabinet council
to which these terms were submitted
raised objections because Of the heavy ex-
pense. The Moderator party particularly
do not approve Of General Martinez Cam
pas leaving Spain, because they desire
him to become Premier in place OF
Canova Del Castillo. This cause and
the intrigues Of Gen. Jovellar are the
principal obstacles which still prevent
General Campas' acceptance. The parti-
sans OF Canova Del CastilloI are proper
tionately anxious to send Gen. Campas
to Cuba.

Times writes to that paper under date Of
October 5, as follows: The reactionary
