OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

Ex Lieutenant Governor Mueller, prominent
German Republican Of Cleveland, has signlded
his intention to support Ewing and Rice. And
still the Republican small fry, like the signal,
yells that the Germans will vote for Foster We
defy oue Republican neighbor to mention one
German Democrat who will suDpOrt Foster in
Henry County.-HdpOieon Northl0ea.
The Cincinnati Enquirer pays Its respects to the
Republican game Of bluff eharaCteIizlng the Ohio
campaign in and out of the State. We have
watched Ohio politics pretty closely for years
and have remarked this peculiarly Of the Re-
publican managers whenever they are in ClOse
quarters their brag game commences,-P Pittsburgh
Post
Our fellow.townSman, N. a. Hartman, who has
lately visited the home OF General Ewing, Informs
betting two to one, without takers, that Ewing
and Rice will be elecled in October. Go to work,
Democrats, and we will achieve glorious vico-
ry this fall.-NGpOleOn NorthtceSt.
The boom Of the Ohio campaign has certainly
reached the river counties. III there is as much
politics In the balance OF the state as in our
neighb0ring towns across the river, we don't know
where there is any chance for that ''Btill hunt"
they talk about Wheeling Register.
The Republican newspapers and campaign
speakers are devoting their time now, with re-.
markable sssiduity, to the great work of tearing
down the confidence in the assured success OF
their ticket, which they spent two months in
building up Washington Post.

LETTER FROM ONE OF EWING's
SOLDIERS.
MANHArrAN, Kansas, september = 1s7

MANHATTAN, Kansas, September 7, 1879.
Mr.. ]. v. LaWler-Dear Sir
A few copies Of the Chronicle have fallen into
my hands which have read with great pleasure.
When left Carroll county more than twenty. five
years ago, you were asmall boy supported by q
widowed mother. am glad to zee that you have
grown to be man Of business which Ia evident
from the able management Of the Chronicle II is
strongly Democratic which is plain 70 be seen.
Years ago this would not have suited me, but as
now view things think 1t all right The present
state OF the country, politically, clearly demon
atTates the fact, that the only safety for Repub-
liCan form of governmentisint two parties of near
ly equal strength, so they act as check upon the
way ywardness of the other making 1t necessary
for each party to bring out their best men for
offices OF honor and trust In this can heartily
commend the wisdom OF the Democracy OF Ohio
in bringing out as their candidae for Governor,
Gen. ThOs. Ewing The people OF Ohio ought
certainly 10 elect him, and ! firmly believe they
will. His public cAreer1s before the country and
! need not speak OF that Hs private character
is not known TO large majority of the people Of
Ohio, but to me It Is we'll known, I was mem
Der OF Co. G Of the 1lth Kansas Volunteers Of
which he was Colonel This regiment was organ
lied as an Infantry Regiment afterwards changed
TO Cavalry by OrdeI.o he War Department !
While we were Infantry we made long, weary
campaign IN Arkansas and the Indian Territory
during the winter OF 1862 8. Many a day have
seen Col Ewing walk all day long through the
tuuu hlLDObl ku66 uebD, hllOWI0R IOOL
sore, w0rn.out soldiers 10 ride his horse. This
was not for the purpose Of making political capital
either, for with the re I Of us, he would ha dly
have given ten cents for his chance Of getting out
OF that country alive. l conclude man OF this
character is safe to be honored with any position
within the gift of the people of Ohio, No matter
what his politics may be, presume no one will
question bis ability was also in battle with him
at Maysville, Cain Hill Prairie Grove and the tax
ing Of Van Buren,. There is no one who will
question HIS war record for there are too many
Kansas Soldiers yet alive who shared the dangers
aud hardships Of that campaign with him. But
they are not all alive, many of the 1lth Regiment
found graves in that then hostile country. l feel
proud Of the State of Ohio as nv birthplace, but
would have to acknowledge with shame her lack
OF judgment II she should fail TO elect Gen Ewing
on the % Tuesday of October next,
Ian no politician, nor man Of influence here
nor any place else that know of, but some Of the
older residents Of Carrollton may remember me
as the cub tailor that worked for NJ. V. suaunder
ABOUT thirty years ago. As one OF the common
people like to see good men placed in high posi-.
tions We have had too many examples Of an
opposite character Of late years, . .

The party consisted Of two men, besides the agent
who brought them, four women, and the re.
mainder young boys and girls from IS years Of

they were hot ted at by crowd OF women and
children and some men, and a few stones were
thrown. To make the Shortest cut, tbty took
what is known as the stone crusber lot where
they was assaulted ty crowd Of $50, mostly
men. Rocks were thrown at them in perfect
showers, and one Of the men named Bouche 10

come out of 1t alive. He was severely kicked and
bruised by stone. One woman with babe in

on women and children. string the feelings Of
every good citizen, No arrests have yet been
made.

Akron, Sept. 8.--0ver 5000 people listened to
Gen. Ewing at the corner Of Market and Howard
streets last evening. The speech was one Of the
most powerful Of the campaign. He not only re.
viewed the financial question in his mssterly
manner, but he charged all along the line. The
enthusiasm ran high and the Democrats are jubi
liant. The meeting was presided over by Lewis
Mil er Esq, who, In response to loud calls for q
speech, said that the bulldozing was not confined
to the South, and cited instances of Akron men
who last year wished 10 vote for him and were
threatened with the loss Of their job. He further
stated that parties had come to him personally
aud told him that these threats hR been renewed
this year. One Greenbacker he told Of who held
a lucrative position, and the price he was to pay
to hold his situation was 10 vote for Foster. Mr..
Miller told him not to sacrifice his principle, and
volunteered to pay his salary out Of his (Miller 81

At the conclusion Of Mr. Mller's remarks the
