| Dank In view YORK WITHOUT security;
/, nor has ne told why it is that this
same bank is giving so much time in
reporting its bond transactions for
the Treasury, that it is able TO cut
off a few extra coupons from two sets
of bonds, thereby drawing three
monthsor more interest on both the
hoods exchanged and the ones ex-
changed for. If he should tell the
plain people out here that he owned
a large interest In this bank and was
putting handsome profit into his
own pocket by these transactions,
they might not consider it a good
and sufficient excuse. At any rate,
John didn't tell them that.
AS 1 said in my former letter,
Democratic success has been general
Iy thought to depend largely upon
getting out a big vote in the Demo-
cratic counties of southern Ohio.
But am now certain the ticket will
get quite as much of boost from
some of the old Republican strong
holds. Information from the Wes-
tern Reserve reports greater activity
there on the Democratic side than
was ever known before-even in the
Allen campaign. The opinion has
been expressed that it is necessary to
get out the Democratic vote in GAR
field and Monroe's districts to
make the State sure, and the Work.
ing men say it shall be done. There
was large Greenback vote in the
Nineteenth (Garfield's) and TWEEN
tieth (Townsend's, districts last year,
nearly 10000 in the two. Ewing
will get two-thirds of these, and pro-
badly more. The vote may not be
as large as it should in Cuyahoga
county lGleveland,) but it will be
better than last year, and the best in
formed say that there will be no
cause for complaint. There is a con-
siderable hard-money element in
both of these districts, but there is
no dissatisfaction with Ewing. He
will get every Democratic vote or 80
near it that the exceptions will
be worth nothing. In Mcmahon IS
district there will be a positive Dem
ocratic gain, in spite of the most des-
perate work on the part of Fosters
friends and allies to break into the
Soldiers Home. The soldiers have
had plenty of time to read, and are
well informed. They know that
Rice was the author and advocate of
the pension bill; that he was the best
friend the soldiers ever had in Con-
gress, and they intend to vote for
him.. In the three counties the
Democrats will gain not less than
500, and it may reach, 1000. In
LeFevre's district (Fifth,) which Is
Democratic and Greenback, there is
assurance of very positive gain.
LeFevre carried it by only 1888
plu, atty, whereas, in 1876, Tilden's
majority was not less than 5000
Ewing and Rice will get back hard
on to Tilden's figures, and may ex-
coed them. Lucas county, in which
Toledo, is situated, was strong Re-
publican county in the flush days of
RepubliCanism, but now the INDIE
pendent and Greeuback movements
have taken strong hold. Ewing is
sure to get two-thirds of the Green
back vote, and, it is thought, will
carry the county. 1t is the district
now represented by Frank Hurd,
one of the ablest men in Congress.
His admirable speech on the troops.
at-the polls question, just before the
adjournment of the late extra ses-
sion, was the best preseDtment of the
issues between Congress and the
fraudulent President made during
the entire debate.
Above [ have indicated some of
the leading points where the Demo-
Gratis look for favorable results, most
~ gathered from information obtain
able at committee headquarters here.
In the last gubernatorial campaign,
when Richard M. Bishop was cleo
ted over William H. West, the con-
ditions were somewhat unusual
Just then the Hayes and anti-Hayes
rings of the Radical organization
were, metaphorically speaking, like
two tom cats over clothes line, and
clawiDg away at each others Gin
wards" This nomination, made
against the earnest protest of the
minority, was a square slap in the
face of Gen. Beatty and his noble
gang OF bloody-shirt howlers. The
great strike of 1877 was also in full
bloom about the time of the Repub-
lican Convention, and West, WIN is
an arrant 'demagogue, in accepting
the nomination, made bad mess of
it right at the start by commu-
nistic speech That speech settled
his hash. Business men all over the
State set him down as an unsafe YES
sci. Then he went over the State
