an Interview here to-day, said that the ont
look was favorable to the Democracy in Ohio.
He said: "You will see blow struck that

OF two OF the most prominent aspirants for
the Presidency will be sent to the rear
Should Foster be elected, the chances Oh
Ohio's great Democratic Senator (Thurmanl

Gen. Ewing, despite all the executive patron
age and moneyed power, of which the Democ-
racy are made victims, should be carried on
IA triumph to Ohio's State capital, SO sure aa
there is night and day, John Sherman will
never gee daylight fn Republican conver-
ton. There fS no room for Haunting the
bloody shirt In Ohio" Said Col. Blackburn.
"While Foster, the Republican candidate, was
getting rich In measuring calico at seventy
five cents yard, and selling 1t to soldiers
mothers, wives and daughters, Ewing and
Rice were at the front fighting for the Union.
Every vote will be called out in Ohio. The
contest will be a bitter one In the Buckeye
State there are $4,000 Greenback votes, more
than half OF whom now acknowledge the
leadership and adhere to the cause OF Gen.
Ewing, who, more than any other man, rep
resents the principles for which they have
and as certain as the twelfth of Oc-
tober arrives, 10000 Greenbackers will vote

Hon. Richard Ashton Cross, Lord Cranbrook,
Right Hon. VIM. Henry Smith, Lord John

Il Earl Beaconsfeld, in replying to a toast,
said that the treaty Of Berlin had been fully
executed; that Russia had fulfilled all OF her
engagements with honor and dignity. Iur-
key, he said, was in difficult position and re-
quired time to accomplish the proposed re-
forms, and the scientific frontier of Afghanis-
ton, he said, was rapidly being achieved and
satisfactory settlement Of South African
Afairs was imminent. He attributed COM
mercial depression partly to speculation and
the sudden decrease OF wealth and precious
metals. The remedies were time and a
beneficent Providence. Already there were
better signs, and he hoped that country had
seen Its darkest hour
