POLITICAL ITEMS.

Mr.. NJ. P. Handy of the Philadelphia Times
telegraphs from Columbus this feature of the
election at Columbus Il don't know how it Is
about Cincinnati but there was some ugly work
here of which had no suspicion until just now,
when upon examining the complete returns for
franklin county found that out Of total popu.
laton Of 1912 white males above q years Of age,
according to the census taken this year, yester.
day election turned out II 1852 voters This is a
full vote with a vengeance, and the allowance for
absentees, disabled and aliens is little less than
nothing It beats the South Carolina census all
hollow"
Seven car loads Of rough characters alleged
repeaters passed through here to- day from In.
dianapolis eastward and one Of them boasted at
dinner that he had voted for Porter seven times
The Ohio vote is likely to exceed seven hundred
thousand, or one to three and fraction Of the
whole population. Where all these voters came
from is what the Democrats are trying to find
out"
The San Fran cisco ESdmtner has no doubt Of
the Democrats carrying California and gives this
review Of the canvass in that State;
"At no time for years has the success Of the
Democratic party been so assured. We are re-
ceiving from all parts of the State the most en-.
couraging reports, Immense crowds attend every
Democratic meeting. Democratic clubs are being
formed in almost every precinct, and for no cam
paign since the days Of Broderick has the party
been so thoroughly organized. number OF
earnest men who have heretofore absained from
any active participation in politics have come to
the front. Men who have never been seen at
political meeting or ward club, are now regular
attendants. The workingmen, understanding
the Chinese question more intelligently aud ap'
preciating more keenly than any other class, are
almost to a man for Hancock and English. No
workingman honestly opposed to Chinese immi-
grafton could do otherwise. The greatest harmo-
ny, confidence and enthusiasm prevail In the
Democratic ranks. The belief that this State was
carried for Hayes In 1876 by the most outrageous
frauds is as universal as the determination to
punish that outrage by an overwhelming Demo-
cratic majority. Almost every Democrat we meet
can name one or more in his circle of acquaint.
anCes who, heretofore afilisting with the Repub.
liCan party, will vote for Hancock Upon the
other hand, there are no deserhons from our
ranks. The Republicans are quarreing among
themselves, divided into cliques and rings, each
hungrily desirous Of lingering the coin which the
Republican managers are exaCting from Federal
ofiice-holders, and in mutual charges and coun.
tercharges as to the honesty and fealty Of the
other
Repub lean journals praise the purity Of the
Hayes administration, no doubt, on account Of
allowing triple assessments on the clerks Of the
Departments.
The imperlalists OF this country are leaders in
the Republican party. Vote against them by
voting for Hancock.
The concentrated pharisasm Of the country
is embodied in the Rep. p.sechonal party, Vote

lie Thinks Hancock will be Elected-Thlnks the
Tariff Question will Hurt the Republican
Party More Than 1t Helps Them.

New York, October 17-Ex-Governor Seymour
has been interviewed on the Western elections
1--WE did not count on Ohio" said he; I'VE did
count on Indiana and do still. 1t is evident that
local and special difficulties interfered with the
success Of the Democrats in the State election
which will not be encountered In the Presidential
contest 1t is certain that the Republicans threw
into the State contest more men and money than
they can command in November. l think tn y
General Hancock is stronger than any local can
didate could be, as he is entirely free from the
disadvantages that affect the candidates in State
elections"
What effect will the Ohio and Indiana elec.
tions have on New York State, Governor"
II don't think they will have any effect upon
the result Of the Presidential election In New
York, rhe Empire State always lights It's polih
cal battles in local or State instead of Presidential
elections. The effect will be to make the Demo
Gratis fight more bravey in this State, TIL las
ground taken by the Republican party, which Is
az appeal to mems fears that Democratic VIC
tory will hurt business, is not one that will bear
scrutiny. On the contrary, the leading Democrats
have been anxious TO submit this question TO
careful discussion with regard to the G. mmercs OF
our ports prosperity and the reason for the disas
ters which preceded the last revival Of business"
"What about the tariff question, Governor"
"The tariff question in this State, the great COM
mercial center is likely to prove more disastrous
to the Republicans than the Democrats. Many
of the leading manufacturers find that so many
schemes have been hiched on the tariff that 1t
hurts more than 1t helps them. Manufacturing
interests have had loaded upon them so many
projects which tax the people and tax them that
they feel that 1t is better for them to cope with
foreign competition with less taxation than with
more What our manufacturers need now, more
than all other things, is the restoration OF our
mercantile and shipping interests, which will
search out markets for them in all parts OF the
world 1t is tacitly conceded that the continuance
OF the Republican party in power means the Vir.
tual abandonment of American commerce and
the destruction Of American mercantile agencies
aud interests"

WARD ON THE SITUATION.

General Durbin Ward says New York. New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and all the Southern States are
sure for Hancock aud will elect him The char. {.
ces, In his opinion, are also In General Hsncocks
favor in Maine, New Hampshire Indiana and all
the States of the Pacific slope. The Democrats
lost Indiana at the recent election by reason Of
comblra alton Of unfortunate circumstances and
because the Republicans were able to practice
the most gigantic frauds successfully. These can
not be repeated In November and Indiana will go
Democratic. He said he had learned on the field
of battle that preliminary skiTmshes were not
decisive. Slight reverses at this stage OF the fight
settled nothing. $50 far the struggle had been
dog falp all around The Republicans were con.
fdent Of Maine. They lost It. The Democrats
had expected to carry Iadiana and had been dis
appointed. The Republicans have Ohio. They
had 1t before The Democrats have as good a
chance to carry 1t at the next election as they had
at the last. The fight will not let up In any quar-
ter and all talk about demoralized Democracy
is 'demnitiOn nonsense
The General evidently is not under the impres
sion that the Democratic party has begun any re.
treat or is just now searching about for suitable
buTying place for itself.

CONFERENCE At COLUMBUS
And an Address Issued by the
Democratic State Committee,
Get out the Democratic Vote and
Rally to the Polls,
CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY.

An Address to all Lovers Of the Union Opposed to
Capitalization and Corruption, the Twin Sisters
Of Imperialism.
New York, October 14-The National Democrat.
ic Executive Committee met to- day and Issued
the following:
To the Democratic and Conservative Voters of
the Country:-The election of President and
Vice President is now before you, State and local
dissensions are eliminated from the issues Of the
day. The magnitude Of victory or defeat can
only be estimated by the forces and means EN-
ployed in securiDgit.
By fraud and corruption the people Of the coun.
try were defeated Of their purpose In 1876 and
the rightfully elected President was kept from his
office.
With the combined capital Of the Republican
party, aided by repeated assessments upon an
army of office holders, with the power OF the
federal government represented by United States
marshals at the polls with intimidation, fraud
and a resort to every corrupt appliance known to
Republican methods concentrated In two States,
our adversaries have succeeded in procuring the
probable return of their local candidates.
Can 1t be possible that In every State throughout
this broad land the same methods can be brought
to bear that were used by the Republican mana
gers In Indiana and 0hio2 Can the great States OF
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California,
Colorado. Nevada and New Hampshire be bought
intimidated and defrauded2 Even without the
vote of Indiana, which we believe will be regain.
ed in November, with New York and New Jersey
and the States that are conceded to u.s. including
Maine the election Of our candidate is assured.
The Republican party hes put In nomination
for President and Vice President two men who,
by the admission Of their own party and press,
are unworthy Of our confidence and your suf'
frages. It is impossible that fifty millions Of in
teliigent and patriotic people will consentto place
themselves upon the humiliatng level thus pre-
pared for them by Republican managers
Fellow citizens, the first da-'s repulse at Gettys
burg ended on the third with Hancock In the
front In glorious victory. That victory secured
us our Union.
The question is not now the preservation Of the
Union but Of constitutional government Han
cock ia now, as then, Ia the front The repulse is
now, as them the omen of victory which will
secure TO future generations the blessings Of civil
liberty.

South will cease TO be solid. With regard to wa
claims the Constitution forbids their pay nent

three or four skirmlshes which had been recently
made, and said that successes should be balanced
with repulses, the same as the war. There was
no cause for discoursgement.

But the nece ssity Of raising money for the ad.

long as human nature lasts. All parties agree
that the best way for us to raise revenue is large

therefore, all talk about free trade Is folly. But
the tariff question will probably be treated with
justice to all our interests tnd people by some
such bill as Eatons.
