ters. He called on Conkling yesterday,
and in the course OF conversation he
saws: "Conkling asked me il the Dem
ocrats expected to carry Ohio. l told
him yes; and he replied:
WELL, THE SIGNS INDICATE IT.
, do not find the enthusiasm expected.
NV audiences are cold and distant.
There is some medemonstration, to be sure,
but il is not spontaneous. Did II
strike YOU that your audience was cold
at Warren. Senator, in Garfield's own
district Yes, said Conkling."
To-day the Republican managers have
tried to get up great escort to take
| Conkling across the state with parade,
and create a hurrah along the route.
When Conkling was notified, he par
ayzed the Committee by informing
them that he
WAS NOT TRAVELLING MESAGKRIE,
and that he considered his time his own,
and he preferred to travel without dis
play. This put an end to it, and My
Lord came out OF Cleveland accom-.
panied only by noble body.guard OF
correspondents. He came as far as Del.
aware with the party.

"lS SUMMING Cr TuR SITUATION,
il is safe 10 say that the Democrats in

uf the Republican majority in CUyahoga
county. from all sources, have ranged
from 800 to 300. Nv Judgment is
that the Republicans vii, carry Cuya-
hora by 5000, and the indications are
that it will be less instead Of greater
than this. II the Democrats do their
duty in strong Democratic counties,
Ohio will 90 Democratic in October, and
money can't save it TO the Republicans.
