LEY Telegraph to the SENTINEL


CHICAGO, October 4.-Republican spe-
cials from Columbus, Ohio, indicate that
the desperate still hunt which the Demo-
Gratis have been conducting in Ohio. has
been unearthed by the Republicans, both
as to its effect and its method. 1t was q
brilliant idea Of the Chairman, Barnum,
Of the National Committee, one which
came near succeeding to the capture of
Ohio by the liberal use Of money and
other means known to him, and to the end
Of the campaign then and there. There
had not been q doubt in the minds Of the
Ohio Republicans but that their State
would give a stalwart Republican majority
in October, but when the quiet and effec-
tual work of thousands of Democrats was
put in where the most skillful political
schemers of the Democratic party directed
that it should be put. the phases OF the po-
litical sky began to change rapidly, and but
for the note Of warning sounded by some
of the fully shrewd in the State Of Ohio,
would have stood q fair show Of coming
into the October election with a Demo-
cratic majority, Notwithstanding the Re-
publican orators of great ability, who are
conducting the campaign with an activity
never surpassed in the history Of the State.
The Democrats have not given up their
plan yet, but yesterday, Mr.. Barnum, who,
as he said, came to Ohio simply to attend
to private business, met John Ct. Thomp-
son and all the other more prominent DEM
ocrats in the State, especially from dis
tricts which are classed as doubtful, and it
is said, made arrangements by which it was
hoped to carry all the doubtful districts by
such large msjorities that the Republican
vote in others will be overcome. The pa
pers are full Of details Of the plan outlined,
and it is quite probable now that the DEM
ocratic schemes will prove abortive SO far
as Ohio is concerned. The Times says
Conkling will commence his work in Indi-
ana, at Richmond, tonight. He went out
to the Chester Driving Park, in Cincinnati,
yesterday, and drove Maud s once around
the track.
What Returning Democrats from
Indiana Say.
CHICAGO, October 4.-The Times says
that Democrats returning from Indianap-
oils, after stamping the towns in the State,
claim that Landers will be elected by ten
thousand plurality, and that Landers him.
self thinks SO. They claim that the Re-
publicans are colonizing votes in the State.
The Republicans also claim the State by a
majority of from four to ten thousand, and
say they have proof Of thousands of men
being imported into the State for Demo-
cratic votes. The State is pretty well pa
trolled by detectives, in the employ OF
both parties, to detect and prevent any
attempt at fraudulent voting.

on Sunday morning q smoke was found is
suing from the Recorders Office In the
Courthouse. The vault door was found
unfastened, a number of books on fire,
which had been piled up behind the door.
and on the floor were four tin cans. bound
in felt cloth-or what was supposed to be a
torpedo-six inches long. There was also
a satchel Of charcoal at the door of the
vault. Had the plot been carried out the
Courthouse would have been blown to
flinders, prisoners and jailors killed, and
records valued at 50, 900, 900 wiped out.
Only fourteen books were destroyed, filed
