WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Thero :,
still considerable discussion going on
here as to the real cause of the bon,
ocratic defeats in Ohio and Indian.
1t is most generally attributed to tba
auctt sslul manner in which the taris
question was placed before the hon
pie, but there are still other theori..
advanced which are claimed to har.
been equally effective. One of these
clearly expressed to your correspon.
dent to-day by Dr.. Thomas Norton
liberal Democrat of Albany.
T., is worthy Of consideration This
gentleman for two months has been
a close observer of the campaign in
the October States, and within the
last six weeks travelled in all sections
of Ohio and Indiana. He attended
various political meetings, and min.
ged with all classes, and says he was
satisfied ten days before tie polls
were opened that the Republicans
would be victorious mot because Of
their strong arguments upon fnan.
cial and tariff questions, or the Wig,
Orous fight against sectionalism, but
because Of the peace and prosperity
which the people seemed TO enjoy.
and which they have lear d to re.
spect and coye!. They are and have
been enjoying season of plenty,
which has taken many years to bring
/ about, and they do not hesitate in
expressing their decided objections
to a change. Dir. Norton further
stated that. though he eeS never 70.
ted any bat The Democratic ticket,h
will vote for Garfield in November.
/ because, like the farmers and manu-.
features Of the west, he prefers pros.
perity AVID comfort. and those bless.
ings which the people OF his native
town place before any consideration
of party.
WASHINGToN, October -. Some
days ago the Washington Post, Still

the gauntlet in the following terms
of characteristic Democratic 5li.vado

can managers, they propose to make
Indiana the Presidential battle.
ground. 1T is to be left to Demos
cratic State to decide between Han.
cock and Garfield.
1--WE accept the proposition and
its attendant circumstances. If III.
diana goes Republican two weeks
from to-day. we will give the elec
ton up. If it goes Democratic, the
Republicans, of course, will do the
same, Now let us hear from lnd.

Indiana now having been heard
from, it is only fair to suppose that
the Post will give up The fight. II
has not been heard from on the sub.
ject, however, for o day or two.
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-At both Of
the political headquarters to day the
determination is expre ssed to press
the fight more vigorously than ever
in all the Nor hern and PacifcSt States.
There has been no abatement of ar.
dor or energy shown. New subscrip.
tons to the campaign funds are
coming in. and the services of speak.
ers are accepted as fast as rendered.
The event of the week at Republican
headquarters was the presence this
morning of Senator Dorsey and Mr..
German, Mr.. Filley and John c.
New, of the committee, VINO arrived
late last night. They were warmly
congratulated. Mr.. Dorsey was
! thanked for his generalshlp, and the
4 Others for their difficult services.
They informed the committe. that
+ the machinery whereby the Republic
cans had won last Tuesday was left
in the same vigorous working order
as before the election, and that they
confidently expect $4,000 majority
for Garfield in Indiana in November.
All four complain of fatigue, and
the effect of arduous labor.
WASHINGTON, October 19.-The
latest intelligence received here from
many pats of Virginia indicates
clearly that amongst the masses of
both the Funders and the Readlus'
tiers all hope of compromise has
been abandoned, and the issue will be
squarely made in the approaching
election with three. electoral tickets
in the field. A prominent Funder
who arrived here this evening says
that no consolation can be derived
from the reported interviews of Gen
eral Malone and Speaker Randall at
Philadelphia, as no concessions could
be obtained from the former, except
upon such terms as the straightout
