layed for more than month. Mr.. VIM.
Rnllock has the contract for putting the
bridge up, but he has beon so busy clean

the waste stuff, for some time past, th t
he could not get sta ted on the bride.
There has been rumor to the effect
that there had been a serious m'sunder-
standing between those having charle OF
the enterprise and Mr.. Bullock, and this
was causing delay, but it has been shown
that such is not the case. The work Will
be resumed soon.
The abutmen's on either side of the

SECOND EDITION
Z he Democratic Defeat in Ohio.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-In Demo
cratic circles here there is q general air
Of gloomy depression. In discussing
their crushing defeat in Ohio, there is
cons lderable acrid recrimination between
the friends of Ewing and Thurman. The
adherents of the former declare that the
election was lost through the juggling
chicanery by which 1t was sought 10 pull
Thurman through for the Senate at all
hazards. That in his anxiety to secure
the fortunes of his patron John G.
Thompson attempted the hopeless task
Of measuring wits with those Republican
leaders in the 81 ate who were his masters
in the art of political intrigue, and the
consequence is the complete overthrow
of the Democratic party in Ohio.
The friends of Thurman say that no
other result could be expected, a' the
nomination OF Ewing was trick to catch
the Greenback vote, which operated to
!orce thousands of hard money Demo-
Gratis to vote the Republican ticket. That
the methods upon which the campaign
was conducted were most i'll advised and
presaged disaster from the inception.
That from the beginning it was clearly
apparent that Ewing stood no chance OF
election, and IL would have b en- but the
part of isdom for all the energies ofthe
party to have been directed to securing
the Legislature, so as to retain Mr.. Thur
man in the Senate, where he has always
been tower of strength for the Demo-
cratic party.
MIR. INGALLS, CASE.
Senator Ingalls, is in the city. He is
in excellent spirits over the .ecent inves-
tigation of the alleged bribery Oh his part
| o secure a reelection to the Senate, and
is perfectly satisfied with the result. The
committee, witt out dissent, will report
that the charges are groundless.
Mr. Ingalls, says that, while the inves
tisalion was conducted with view te
ascertaining the facts, he received every
| cons deratiun at the hands of all the com
mittee. He cvnstrues the Ohio election
as a Stalwart victory, and therefore al
addition 10 the "Boom."

In rendering his decision, the Mayor
said: 81 do not know whether it would
be exactly right for me to finally dispose

charge that has been brought against you,
one that should be punished severely.
The charg', melting to right, is serious
one, and in city, where riot Is easily
started is even more so. The results OF
the affair OH Wednesday night might
bave been very serious and the dsoI.
