tic nominee for governor Of Missouri,
overheard lately. The latter said that
Landers had apparently lost grit. The
tariff he feared would lose him thou
sand votes Another cause Of the dis
couragement. continued Crittenden, is
the unpopularity of English and the
bad blood existing between him and
Gov. Hendricks. Landers believes
Hendricks would rather lose the
state than see English elected.
At the mention Of English the mule
buyer opened out, charging him with
being the meanest, littlest man In the
nation.
The TriJaae's Cincinnati special says:
The vote in Ohio on Tuesday viii be
the largest ever cast. II will reach
$50 900. possibly 100000. Last year
the total vote was 6G9. 600, and the re-
publicans carried the state by ma
jority of 1854 and a plurality Of IL, ,l29.
Alarge vote always means in Ohio a
republican victory, and as rule the
larger the vote the greater the victory.
/ am Inclined to think that the size Of
the republican majority on Tuesday
next will surpr Use those who are hgur-
ing on very close contest. There has
been no campaign in Ohio in which the
people. as n whole, were SO deeply in
terested since the memorable Vallan-
dighan campaign of 1868. There is an
under current of feeling running very
strongly in favor of the republicans.
The TriJane's indianapolis special
says: The democratic menagers and
certain well known officials banded to-
gether for the congenial purpose OF
carrying out the following dastardly
plan to prevent decent men from re-
cording their will at the ballot box:
First, The democrats propose to go
earliest TO the polls get possession Of
the line and vote, say 1900 OF their men
first.
Second, The democrats who shall
have voted are then to. withdraw
from the polls and gather at a place
agreed on at convenient distance.
Third, The republicans are to be
harassed and annoyed by being chal-
lenged, and quarrels are to be gotten
up with them and with their neighbors
who swear to their right to vote.
Fourth, Shoulder strikers and bullies
from abroad are TO follow with blows
and bring a general disturbance which
Is then to be called riot.
Fifth, To suppress this bogus and
manufactured riot the governor Of the
state is to be called upon for troops at
the polls.
Sixth, An officer OF the state is un-
derstood to have already formed a
democratic secret military organization
to enable the governor to respond to
this call.
Seventh, 1t is said that an army OF
democratic conspirators was secretly
organized in our midst who are to be
the early voters on Tuesday morning,
and who are then to withdraw to the
appointed place.
Eighth, At the rendezvous of this
democratic army there is to be full
supply Of state arms and ammunition
ready for use.
Ninth, A riot, so called, which will
be simply an assault on the citizens by
hired thieves and assassins, is to be
carried on until the ballot boxes in the
republican wards can be seized and
rihed or exchanged, while all this time
the arms Of the state are to be used for
the purpose Of aiding this hellish scheme
to destroy the rights of the people.
In significant comment on this
satanic piece of ingenuity the Journal
say: We tell the leaders and loafers of
the democratic party, its senators and
Its scullions, that IL Gov. Williams
shall dare attempt to turn the arms Of
the state against the breasts of the citi-
zens ut the bidding Of the solid south,
and in company with the criminal
classes c. the north, the men OF Indian
apolis, yea, and Indiana will, with
majesty and might, meet them bullet
for bullet.
The Inter Oceans Indianapolis spe-
cial says: The general feeling tonight
Is one of relief from fears that have
prevailed Of trouble on Tuesday. There
has been SO much talk Of trouble and
the citizens have been SO persistently
warned that the prevention has come
with the alarm. There is more danger
OF trouble at many Of the other large
towns than here.
The Evening Ners has a dispatch
from Evansville stating that at dem
ocratic meeting at Rockpo,t on Satur-
day, L. N. Schonfeld shot down in cold
blood Uriah Webb, colored man, who
was fleeing for his life from a mob OF
two or three hundred democrats. An.
other negro was badly cut. While webt
lay weltering in his blood in the street,
the Hancock and English club, in uni
form, swung their hats and gave three
cheers for Hancock. Schonfeld had
not been arrested at last accounts
