Cry Aloud, One to

General Hancock's frank, manly and

their purpose to spread the story that
in the event OF Democratic success thou
sands of millions of dollars would b.

so persistently and industriously has
this slander been circulated throughout
the North that it was deemed advisable

WARM WORK AHEAD.
BUCKEYE DEMOCRATS FORCING THE
RADICALS TO THE WALL,
And Compelling Them to Make Desperate
Fight for Existence Almost With
in Sight of Garfed's
Home.
HANCOCK BOYS STILL MARCHING ON.

The TACT that.the Democrats are rap
idly gaining ground in Ohio can no
longer be concealed, and the Republican
leaders appear to be thoroughly alarmed
over the uniavorable aspect OF affairs.
a moments thought will convince even
the most skeptical that there is abund-
ant source for their fears as to the result.
In 1876, when they had for a Presiden-
tial Cand date man whose record, both
civil and military, contrasted with Gar
fields, was as clean as an angels robe
and when their organization was simply
perfection, they only carried the State
10y the slender majority of 1916, in
total vote OF 655, ,0l6. Ii that small ma
jOrity was the utmost they could COM
mand under such favorable conditions,
their anxiety for the result in the pres
ent canvass can well be understood, when
they are burdened with candidate who
stands disgraCed before all men as a per-
jurer and a jobber, and when even such
leader as James q. Blaine cannot hold
his native State to her old time political
faith.

MORGANTowN, W. Va, Sep. -.
The Democratic mass meeting and
pole raising here, to-day, was the grand
est political demonstration that this
county has seen since 1910. The weather
has been inclement, but the people
turned out in great crowds, The pro-
ceSsiou, with music aud banners,
extended from one end Of the town to
the other.
Col. ID. ID. Johnson and Hon. VIM. |.
Wilson addressed the vast crowd in Tie
public square in the afternoon, and
Hon JAS Morrow madea fine speech in
the court house in the eveains. Two
splendid hickory poles about one hun
dred feet high were raised, and an
immense hlc bearing the names Of
Hancock, English and ia kson, floats
gracefully to the hreezt between them.
The faces OF Mor.autown Radicals are
at this writing longer than ever before,
They iorrbOde defeat. II is said as a
last resort in order to save Sturgiss' own
county, they have concluded to send
for Jim Blaine, oi Maine, but ii Blame
could not save his own State, how is he
to save MonOngalia county. The
Democracy OF Monongalia are in good
working order, and feel reasonably sure
OF success. +.

Much the largest meeting held in Gin

campaign was addressed by Gen. &. +.
Butler, in the Fifth ward market space,
on the 22d inst. Fully fifteen thou

plain why he now supports Hancock
and the Democratic party. Hon. Alex
ander Long presided over the meeting,
and after the vast throng had subsidized
into quiet, and the long list OF promi-
nent business men, who acted in the ca
pacity of vice presidents, had been read,
he came forward, and, in few we'll
timed remarks, introduced General But
Ter. At the mention OF the Generals
name the mighty crowd gave a roar
which fairly shook the surrounding
buildings like an explosion OF artillery.
When the speaker stepped forward the
cheers were renewed, and continued
with deafening force for fully five min
utes. After the applause had subsided,
Gen. Butler spoke as follows:

five lines, with entrechlents connect
ed by covered ways. It's rumored that
Munkhtar Pasba has arrived in the

received, says that in consequence of
the arrival OF a French courier, the
fleet will not start for Dulcigno for iorty-
eight hours.
In a Reckless Mood
LONDON, September 27.-The Con.
stantinople correspondent OF the Times
telegraphs as follows: The spirit of reck-
less defiance is becoming more and more
intense at the Palace. For several DAYS
past the sultan has refused to listen TO
any objections made by his ministers to
the policy which he has adopted, and
has issued an order than any official
who shall be heard expressing a con-
trary opinion shall be- dismissed and ex-
lied. Never before since the time OF
Mahond the Terrible, has such all order
been issued.
Montenegro Asks for Aid.

Montenegro consequently telegraphed
Admiral Seymour that he is not pre-

This step OF the Porte must be re-
garded as tantamOunt to declaration

A Constantinope dispatch says the

the surrender of Dulciyno, not only
that the demonstration be abandoned,
but no demonstration shall be employed
in connection with the Greek frontier or
any other question, and no other con-
cession in future shall be demanded ior

Thompson and Mckinney, says that a
complete poll has been made in sixty
five out OF Lightweight counties IN the

10000. This gives 80 per cent. oi the
doubtful vote TO each party. He thinks
that safer estimate will be to give 10
per cent. OF the doubtful vote to the Re-
publicans. lie thinks the Democrats
will certainly carry Ohio at the October
election.
