the Federal government back to its
constitutional orbit; to preserve the in

store fraternal concords and affection
among all the people OF every section; !;
TO rebuke the frauds which gave the
Republicans supreme power, and to
cleanse the administration of the laws

the cause is not lost. BE OF good cheer.
Renew the battle. Struggle on to the

LEADING QUESTIONS,
IN REGARD TO THE M0MENT0US
TOPIC OF TARIFF,
Which General Garfield Begged to Be Ex-
cused from Answering-The
Campaign in New York
and Virginia.
HANCOCK TO Be HEARD FROM AGAIN.

The recent attempt to interview Ger.
Garfield OH the tariff question, and OBJ
tain from him an explanation OF his no.
torious free trade record in the past, and
also some hint as to the course he
should pursue in the future, was not
brilliant success. A representative OF
the National Associated Press, armed
with formidable list OF very searching
and pertinent questions, was dispatched
to the residence of the great and good
Republican leader, but on making
known the object of his wish, the dis
tinguished member OF the Golden Club
kicked most emphatically, and per-
emptorily declined to say word. He
was well aware that his past and present
advocacy OF low tariff would not bear
any additional advertising at this crisis,
and he accordingly grutlly and ill.man-
nerly refused to hold any conversation
whatever with the reporter. A short
sketch OF this iruitless pilgrimage to
Mentor is given below.

regard New York and New jersey as
entirely safe. No money can purchase
them, and for the rest Of the campaign
money has to be spread over great
deal Of ground. Connecticut is very
doubtful, on account OF her |

will elect fusion ticket, and give three |
OF her votes to Hancock, which, with
New York and New Jersey, will elect
him President. But that is not all. Hi
nois regard as certain to 90 for the
Democratic ticket. Why? Because the
agriculturalists there are opposed to Re-
publican monopoly, and believe in the
doctrine OF a tariff for revenue, and |
cheap food and supplies for the working
people. Indiana will probably be re-
deemed, and am certain that Califor.
mia and Nevada will give their sufrages
for Gen. Hancock"

resented by counsel, VINO, however, took
no active part in the days Roceeiings.
The appointment OF a receiver was ur.

was heard. The court took the papers
under advisement and reserved decision
as to whether or not receiver should
be appointed. Miss Susan A. Crandall,

sible men backed the institution, but she
Miss Cran,lalD did not know anything

VIRGINIA.

The Triangular Contest to be Continued
to the End Estimates of the Three Par
ties.
WASHINGTON, October l9.-lt looks
now as il the triangular contest in Nir-
ginia will be fought through to the end.
The prospect of union OF the Demo-
cratic factions has grown less with each
do, of i...., and tnU present indioations
are that movement to that end ia no
longer contemplated. The Chairman OF
the Regular or Funder Democratic State
Committee has issued an address, stating
that "the May (Funder) ticket has come
to stay, and to win" The Readjuster
leaders and organs are no less deter
mined, judging from their utterances,
to hold the fort, and conse-
quently the result in the State
depends entirely upon the
Commands.
Ii these factions divide the Democratic
vote anywhere nearly equal, then the
election OF the Garfield ticket Is within
the bounds of probability. The Fund.
ers estimate the total Democratic vote
ut about 10000, and allow the Read
justers 10000; they estimate that the
Republicans will not cast exceeding 90
GOO votes, and, therefore, that their
(Funders'l ticket will be elected by a
plurality OF 10000. The Reaijusters
substantially

ity of from $1,000 to 10000. One effect

franchise thousands OF colored voters,
according to Democratic calculations,
but as there is ample time for the
payment OF this tax yet, it is. dill
iicult to tell how it will operate upon
the two, or rather three parties. The
estimate OF the Republican State Com
mittee is that there are in Virginia lS4,-
600 white registered voters, and ll2,OOO
col)red: that 10000 of the whites anu
nearly all the coored men are Republl'
cans,

that 10000 will be dislranchised by non
payment of the capitatiou tax, leaving a

600 white Democrats will not pay the
tax, and deiucting the 10000 white he

SIOUX CITY, a., October 10. The

\ severe snow storm OH Saturday and
Yesterday. All railroads leading to this
city, except the Sioux City and Pacific,
have been blockaded out. The Central

getting out of the drifts. The weather
has not been cold, but large losses in
stock are reported. Nearly all the
farmers in this vicinity report losses.
One man in this county loses 100 head
of sheep and l05 head Of cattle. In
Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa similar
losses are reported. The roads have
been so biockaded up and communica-
ton by rail and telegraph so completely

are vet meagre and unreliable. The
Oldest inhabitant does not remember
storm of such severity so early in the
season. To-day is bright and pleasant
and the snow is rapidly disappearing.
