New York. October THE Presidential
canvass is now fairly shaping itself out Of
the chaos Of the last two months, and some
reasonable opinions may be ventured. The
Democratic leaders here affect great conf
dence in Hancock's election; first, because
the party is reunited in New York State,
and, second, because the people desire a
change. They claim in this city. and
many other business and manufacturing
c~enters, that the indications are unmis-
taxable that Garfield will get many votes
heretofore Democratic. Indiana looked
more promising for the Republicans six
weeks ago than New York does to-day.
However, the best opinion is that Indiana's
vote will be close at the State election, with
the chances decidedly favoriDg the Democ-
racy.
The Presidential outlook is that Garfield
will have from 10, 1000 to 80, 900 majority in
New York outside Of this city, against
$4,000 to Sc, 900 possible majority for Han
cock in New York and Kings county, unless
great frauds are perpetrated. Connecticut
never looked more likely than now to give
q Republican majority, and the chances for
q Republican majority in New Jersey are
thought fair, and improving daily. While
a reduced Republican majority in Ohio
was feared a month ago, not the least
doubt is now entertained of a decided Gar
field majority. The talk of Pennsylvania
going for Hancock is buncombe merely.
Grant Getting the Worst of 1t.
New YORK, October THE Herald says:
Among the officers OF the army, and par
ticularly those stationed on Governors
Island, and therefore brought intimately
into relations with Hancock, there is a
good deal Of feeling in regard to the al
legged Fowler Grant interview. The amend
ments Of the original publication, said
one official, make the matter more mud
died than ever, and the next thing in order
will be for Grant to explain his explana-
tons.
Grant is bound, if possible" remarked
another officer, "to make Garfield the
next President. He knows then that he
will be the power behind the throne
whereas, il Hancock is elected, he will be
left out in the cold. He is not in q posi-
ton to ask favors of Hancock. In the first
place, he treated him most stability when
he gave Mcdowell, o junior Major-G General,
the command Of this Department, and
sent Hancock West. Then he did his best
to cripple Hancock while the latter was in
command at New Orleans"
"And what did Hancock do?" inter-
rupted another officer.
"He resented it," was the reply. "He
would either command or he would not,
and when he found that he could not COM
rnon krA 49, ~o-ko-k 1S--@1S -fsl l.
ing Q mere fgurehead, he resigned. and he
did what any high-spirited officer would
have done. There is an unwritten history
that may yet be written"
The Jeanette Heard From.
NEW York, October THE Herald says,
editorially: We print this morning a let
ter from Lieut.. De Long, commanding the
q. 8. Arctic steamer Jeanette. The let
ter was written on the Goth Of August,
1879. more than thirteen months ago. and
was left at Cape Serdze Kamen, from thence
it was sent to st. Petersburg, and we are
indebted to the courtesy Of the Russian
Government for its transmission to the
Herald. The Jeanette. it would seem, |
from the letter Of De Long, stopped at
Siberia. to learn tidings Of Nordensjold.
When De Long was seeking Nordensjold |
in Siberia the gallant Swede wal approach
ing Japan. The officers and men Of the |
Jeannette were all well, and on leaving |
Siberia she pushed toward Wrangell Is
land. Indeed, the Jeanette was sighted
BY whalers some thirty miles south of
Herald Island five days later, thus proving
how De Long vas keeping his word. We
trust that the next news from the Jeanette
will not only be as satisfactory as
what we nrInt fhfo xarxusn0 h,k will all |
OF heroic endeavors and Of achievements,
bringing new renown to the American
name.
Desperate Attempts TO Carry Ohio.
CHICAGO, October THE Inter Oceans
Columbus special says: The Democrats

it never penetrated before, and are making
desperate attempts to carry Ohio. Roughs
and reporters are circulating freely through
the State, and coming and going to the
chief points every day. The following was
