From the Gin. Com. Ind.
Ohio is the October state of the
year. The defeat of the republican
state ticket in this state on the second
Tuesday of October next would be
the signal of the utter discontinue of
the party in the presidential struggle.
Well, the nomination of Grant at Chi
cago would give the October election
to the democrats by a decisive major
ity. There are 1000 republicans in
this city alone who have already per-
sonally signiied that they would not
vote for Grant if nominated. 1t is
possible that one half of the republic
cans who would refuse to give their
votes for a third term have formerly
stated their purpose; but we think not
so large a proportion.

Some Of the Blaine men now in the
city are demeralized, and demand that
the senator from Maine come here
and manage his own case, particularly
under the temporary organization.
They hold that he is the only man for
the emergency, and that his presence
on the floor Of the convention during
that critical period would result in
the overflow of Conkling, Logan and
Cameron. who combined cannot match
him in parliamentary skill. A few of
his admirers, who believe this to be
bis only chance, will make an earnest
effort to secure his presence.
A dispatch from New York, where
Mr.. Blaine is now stopping, SAYS the
senator will not come to Chicago. He
is content to leave his canvass in the
hands Of "Billee" Chandler. and
thinks that if the other candidates do
not combine against him, he will re.
CeiVe the nomination.

Gazette, 26.l
Although the fight will be only for
governor and attorney general" said a
gentleman yesterday who is a delegate,
in my opinion we will have the hard
est fight that We have known for
years. am not inclined, as some are,
to the belief that there will be any
trouble that will endanger the demo
cratic party, but | do think that there
will be a struggle. Miller's friends
are tenacious, and they have shown it
all along. They showed it two years
ago. They will show it when the con-
vention meets. Churchill's friends
are determined. They don't propose
to give an inch. The general, in all
probability, will 90 in ahead, but he
will find war. Wilson is not so slow.
de has an instructed vote that is not
so very small. His friends propose to
stick to him. Don't you see that the
contest is bound to be %severe?"

improperly of his action In sub
hitting to the house what purported
to be a report of the foreign affairs
committee, of which he was not a

with proper motives. The evidence
taken by the foreign affairs com
mittee also proved, beyond all
doubt, the Improperly Of the act.
Tlo judiciary committee, there

Mr.. Acklen to make the report. The
committee will report to the house.

that il general strike is made against

Grain Movements.

New York, 7.-During eight weeks of
the season. from August LIST to September
25th. AZ, $4,000 bushels Of wheat and
-four was received at Atlantic ports
against 51,556, 0e0 bushels for the same
period of '79, which shows that notwith-
standing the larger crop this year the
receipts have been 1884, 800 bushels less
than last season. The exports of wheat
and -four for the same time have been
40, 242, 600 bushels or 8,S38,000 bushels
less than last year. 1t thus results that
with about 100000 bushels thus far
received at the sesboard, and exported
respectively, about 100000 bushels less
than in '79. This can ha dly be con-
sidered g. satisfactory course OF business.
1t shows that at the present prices
farmers are Indifferent about selling, and
exporters equally Indifferent about
buying.

one officer, "maks the matter more mud
