Senator Thurman writes privately
to a friend in Washington that there
is a reasonable prospect of the Demo-
Gratis carrying Ohio ut the October
election and that he never knew the
democracy to be so thoroughly organ
lied. Garfield, he writes, is not q
strong candidate in his own State and
fails to arouse any enthusiasm.

Notwithstanding all the fraudulent
counting by the Republicans in Maine,
it seems that Plaistcd will yet have a
plurality of Il8 votes. With such Il
close vote, however, to operate upon,
it is not to be presumed that the Re-
publicans will permit a count that
will defeat their candidate. But the
signal victory of the Democratic party
cannot be destroyed and its effect
cannot be ignored.

n. O. Democrat: The excessive
passenger and freight rates over the
New Orleans and Houston railroad
are still the topic of discussion and
severe criticism. If is well that it
should be known that the obstacle to
q reduction lies in the management of
the line of road between Vermilion
and Orange, which is controlled by
McComk. In order to force the pur-
chase Of his line, he refuses to make
any concessions in the way of rcduc-
ing the schedule which ut it's present
rate must operate to the great injury

Ideemcd it necessary, some weeks

man, he responded by denials and
scurrility, for which | cared not COM

his true character he has sought to
cover his infamy by adroitly contriy-
ing to become the President of a fire
company and also q prominent mem

game as to obtain the adoption of res
0lutions and certificates styling my

Cause OF the Defeat.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The Herald pub
fishes interviews with several prominent In
dianians, in which they said the defeat was
caused by the unpopularity OF English and
Landers. Fleming, the defeated candidate
for state treasurer, does not conceal his dis
gust with English. He lays the loss Of the
state to English, and says that English has
proved miserably inefficient and utterly in
competent. His unpopularity lost hundreds
of votes. Thu rest of the defeated democratic
candidates are very severe on English, and
attribute the loss Of everything to his unpop-
ularity. They do not confine themselves to
mild terms, but in their wrath become very
extravagant in their denunciation of English.
Deputy Secretary Of State Pole says that
English lost Indiana for the democrats, and
thinks he ought to retire. Hendricks is said
to have declared to-day That English ought to
withdraw at once. He processes to believe
that if English withdraws Hancock can carry
the state.
There was a meeting tonight to consider
the plan of putting Hendricks in English's
place. The friends of Hendricks say that his
record was as coed in June as now. Mrs.
Hendricks says the Governor shall not &C
cept. English says he won get a chance to
accept for he (English) would not go of.

Election News.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-The Inter Oceans In
d%ianapolis special says it is now certain that
the republicans win in the 9TH congressional
district and possibly elect their man in the
18th, making nine or ten out of the thirteen.
If they have ten, they gain four over the last
congress. Everything seems favorable to the
republican side.
The Inter Oceans Columbus special says
Townsend's majority will be about $4,000,
and others on the ticket about $4,000. These
are the exact figures predicted by Foster on
Tuesday evening. Townsend was behind be-
hind because Of the opposition of the liquor
men and because he vas traded off by the
democrats. Saturday night there will be a
big demonstration to celebrate the victory.
There will be no letting up now until after
November.
The Inter Oceans Cleveland special says:
| General Garfield was visited to-dy his friends
| and he expressed perfect confidence in his
election. Garfield received 1877 congratula-
tory kilograms during the first twenty-four
hours after the result of the election was
known. and now has a food of them.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 1e.-An excursion
party Of Is cars, under the auspices Of the
Business Mems Club, went TO Mentor to-day
to congratulate Garfield IN the October cleo
tions. Garfield made q neat and fitting
speech. He greeted them as business men
and citizens Of Ohio, and as citizens Of he
republic. He advanced the thought, that "if
all the business men of the country coald get
q guaranty from the Supreme Being that there
would be no disturbance for four years Of the
great forces that play on the business prosper
ity Of this people, there is nothing they could
not and would not undertake. to do in that
time. Of course such a guaranty was impos-
sible, but while frosts, pestilence and accidents
may come, there Is a great political organiza-
ton in this country that can give you a poll
cy, underwritten by its faith and its
hand, against all evils that can come to you
from bad legislation, or the reckless wicked
ness of bad finance. For such a business i'll
surance, business men of Cleveland and
business men of America are manifestly will
ling to make some effort and bear some sacri-
flee, and that, I take 1t, is the meaning of this
assemblage to-day. Nowthe second thought
I had was, you are citizens of Ohio, and some
OF the frst-born children of the pioneers
who were instrumental in planting Ohio.
When your. fathers were born Ohio was
unknown except as a trackless wilderness,
and yet, where the smoke from not a dozen
white mems cabins assembled to the sky in all
this territory, now there are a quarter of a
million happy people, prosperous, honorable
and successful, living and guiding the desti-
MES of a people as great in number and
wealth as all who inhabited the thirteen COLO
MES when our fathers won their independ-
ence. What a spectacle is that! And all this
prosperity was won by the simple, plain and
straightforward process of downright hard
work. This is what did it: Labor was first
laid out on the raw materials that God made,
and then capital, which is only another name
for crystalized labor, saved up, protected and
honest law. Proud as you are of what you
have been and what you have done for Cleve-
= land and for Ohio, yet our pride rises a.
, little piece of bunting-a flag with stars and
stripes on-that speaks Of a great continent
with a government that carries it from sea tc
, sea, from lakes to gull, and that you as citi
, zens Of that republic have the right to wall
q on every foot of it as the equal of any mai
that lives anywhere, and that the score Q
black men that 1 see here and there have JUS
, as good a right as the whitest of us all. Nov
. these are thoughts that come to me as I looI
upon these Cuyahoga faces. You are in tn
