THE TALL. SYCAMORE.

Hon. ID. W. Voorhees, Reception At the
Governors Onlcc-IIOw the Democracy
Turned Ont 10 Welcome the Apostle OF
soft Money and Antl.RcsumptIon.
Senator Dan Voorhees,, Of Indiana,
came to town yesterday morning from
Steubenville, where he addressed the
Democracy on the day previous, and tht
brethren in this city gave him qiae a
little reception at the Governors office
shortly alter his arrival. Governor
Mathews looked after the presen.
tations, and most OF tbG local Democratic
lights OF this vicinity we're introduced and
stated that they Xere glad to have met the
gentleman fI6m the Wabash. Among
the visilsrs were Sheriff Jingle, Major
Swe4tey, Hon. Lewis Baker, Hon. ]. II.
t10od, Drs. Hardesty and Hullihen and
numerous others who have escaped the
recollection OF the IETELLIGEScER.
Senator Voorhees, looked comfortable
and apparently enjoyed the outpouring.
lie is q tall, portly gentleman, with good
head, phrenologiCally speaking, and clear
cut, expressive features. proiusion Of
dark red hair brushed back from his fore
head and behind his ears, aud q luxuriapt
moustache and goatee OF the same color,
give, him rather aleonine appearance, but
he is cordial in his address, and seemed TO
make good impression on the untcrriied
who came to see him.
In reply to the questions OF the ISTELLt-
GESCER commissioner, he said he had had
an enthusiastic meeting at Steubenville,
the crowd apparently being in the con.
dition OF short stop when the ball was
coming and ready to "holer" before they
got it. He thought he saw considerable
change toI the better in Democratic pros.
poets in Ohio since he came into the State
three weeks ago. The campaign on the
DemOCratiCside was being well conducted,
and II the Democrats were beaten they
would have the satisfaction of knowing
that they had made good fight. Ewing
he thought, had made magnificent can
Vass, and il he had had little more
money his success would be assured.
Asit was, no was not inclined to DESPAIR.
Of the thirty.cight thousand Greenback
votes cast last year he thought living
would get ut least twenty.four thOusanj
and Piatt the balance. Hamilton county,
he did not hope much from, although he
believed II the right men had been sent
and kept there it could have been secured,
The proper policy in regard 10 that section
was being adopted now, and Thurman
was 10 be sent there to-day and would
stay until after the election. Cuyahora

village anyhow. We thought we had It
fixed once before, said the Senator, and il
went back on us to the tune OF sixty.Rye

On tho general outlook, however, the
tall Senator proiessed serenity, There ia
no trouble with the hard money Demo.

proportion OF the soldier vote would 6e

tons had been partly healed up. Bill
Bishop and the rest OF the Governors
managers, who were so disguised with the
Columbus result, had become reconciled
TO the situation, and the former was work.
ing heartily for Ewing in Cincinnati.
Altogether there was enough loveliness in
the atmosphere, and sufficient altitude for
the goose to encourage hopes Of Demo.
cratic success next Tuesday.
In reference to himself, IAIr. Voorhees,
said he was feeling well and had rather en-.
ioyed his CanvaSsing tour. He said be
had been speaking nearly every day for
the past month and generally talked abont
two hours each time, longer, perhans
than he ought to talk, but people seemed
willing to stay and listen and he Ind
enough to tell them 10 occupy that mncS
time. He complained that some Of Tho
reporters had stated that no swore good,
deal and told smutty stories in bis
speeches, and said he never used an az.
preston in any public address that he
would be unwilling 10 have his own wife
and daughter hear. In TACT, he rather
spoiled some OF his stories and 0uotations
from other people by submitting them 10
an expurgatinG process Of his own, The
other charges against himself no dismissed
with the solemn asseVeration that thew
were "roorbacks" OF the deepest dive,
which he bud exploded times without
number, but that, like the hero in the play,
"theviliain still pursued him."
AS 10 the latter the Senator manifested
some disposition to so into particularities,
