Washington Special, Oct. IL
The business of the country was neve,
moro prosperous, especially the repeating
business. The demand for them has never
been better and from indications prices are
booming. Repeating hos risen to the digni-
ty of a fine art, and in utilizing it the Re-
puSlicans show Nepoieonic generalship.
The Democratic committee has besn spend
ing its funds ell along on the legitimate
work of the campaign. Documents and
printed speeches have been sown broadcast
over the country. The postage on these on
many days has been as high as $3.50, and
never less than $50, at headquarters, as has
been heretofore noted in these dispatches.
Speakers were brought from all over the
Union and their expenses paid. No money
was spared TO get an accurate canvass Of the
State and to organize thoroughly in every
county, city and village. In all these par
ticulars the Republican State committee has
been remiss. They have money now and to
spare, as the proceeds of Clmeron's barrels,
while the Democrats have Just enough to see
them through and no more. The Repgb-
licans saw the danger that is staring them
In the face last week, and to avers it, if pos
sibls, their money is flowing like water for
repeaters. Fhis was part of the Hale and
Cameron bargain already mentioned as hav-
ing been consummated on Sunday and Mon
day.
The first step was to raise howl about
imaginary Democratic repeaters, and then,
under the dust raised, to run in their OWN.
The Republican daily press did its duty as
to the howl. The work of shipping the re-
peaters by the Republicans is now going on
in all it's glory. For several days large gangs
have been going through here from the
East.
These fellows mostly come on the after
noon Pan Handle train, and are distributed
in Western OHIO and Indiana after nightfall
in localities where it has been arranged to
use them. This afternoon the train was
loaded down with them. They are mostly
young and passably respectable looking.
Seventy live were in one gang alone, and
dinner for the lot was paid for by their lead
er in person. He looked like one of Arthur's
custom house crowd. There were at leat
two hundred, counting all the troupe.
0oofSe n. NdSu was 30 worried about
the fellows not reaching their proper desti-
nations, that he came to the depot in per-
son, and while the train waited was in con-
sultation with several suspicious-lookine
characters. The chairman scarcely knew
whether hs was standing on his heels or his
head, while seeing that every detail was at
tended to.
There was much surprise that Nash should
show himself openly while the fellows were
passing through, but this charge will be met
with an excuse that he was looking for Dem
ocratio reporters.
Ed McCune, young Republican of this
city, was sent on the train after getting his
instructions from Nash, and it was learned
that he was to accompany ths rascals as far
as Urbana. Democrats in that place and
intermediate points will do well to look out
for any new comers he may assign to their
places. Word has been wired to Indianspo-
lis IN order that Democrats may be warned
and spot as many Of the fellows as NAV
reach Indiana points.
Chairman Nash sent out his usual number
of midnight kilograms to county committees
and his workers tonight. The repeater
business furnished the staple of them, and
orders have gone out to have all hands raise
as crest q olatter about Democratic repesters
as possible, in order that the work of the
Republicans may be Less noticed.
