telegram, received yesterday, and
comments thereon:
MENTOR, OHIO, II.

Avenue:
The five counties composing Gar
fields congressional district give q re-
publican majority of II, 757; gain of
1,60S over Fosters majority OF 1879.
The vote OF Tuesday was the largest
which this district has polled in sew
enteeD yesrs. Tell this to the mud
singers.
(Signed) D. E. SWAIN.
As it happened this dispatch was
delivered at the dinner table, at
which sat three members OF the DEM
ocrstic national committee and TWO
of its ex ohairmen. To their honor
be it sai3, the democrats were the
first to express their personal grstifi-
cation at the vindication, and every
one at the table joined in cordial as
sent.
HeraLd's indianapolis publishes an
Interview with several prominent
IndisniRns, in which they say the de-
feat was caused by the unpopularity
OF English and Landers, Fleming,
state treasurer, a defeated candidate
for reelection, attempts no coz
cealment of his disgust in re-
gard to English. He Gays: This
has been the worst managed cam
paign on the democratic side in the
history OF that state; that English has
proved miserAbly inefficient and
incompetent; that he has been out
generated at every point; that his
personal unpopularity lost many
hundreds OF votes; that he has never
bad the state properly organized for
the democrats in any way" Frank
Lsnders ascribes his defeat to
English's stupidity, stinginess
and Encouragement of the canvass.
But that's all bosh. Landers
is not fit to govern. General
John Love, Of the state house board,
says the loss of Indiana il
due to the Incompetence, avarioe and
appropriately OF EngliIh. He says
the latter cannot comprehend his
position, because the only thing that |
could annoy him 10 the loss OF little
money. State House Commissioner
Nelson ia equally severe on English
and lays all the blame on him for the
loss of the state. Secretary of State
Shanklin, who was defeated for re-
election, 10 boiling over with rage and
the mere mention of English's name
fairly throws him into paroxysm of
anger. He refers to English tendsrly
as a "hog" and "brute." Gen. Man
ION, another Of the victims, boils over
With profanity, and blames English
or all the trouble in the most forcible
expletiyes be can command. Colonel
tray nominee for lieutenant governor
isys: "Lsnders was q dead weight to
carry, but that the state could have
'een carried but for English" He
lGes bad words in talking of the latter,
md blames Mcdonald and voorhees,
or their English nomination.
tray pronounces English "a base
raud;" Deputy Secretary of State
'eele, says that English lost
indiana for the democrats and I
links he ought to retire. Hen !
ricks lie said TO have declared,
D day, that English ought to with
raw at once. He processes to be- !
eve that if English WithdraWs, Han q
ock can carry the vote of the state. q
q respect to the withdrawal, I can 4
i've you gossip only. Messrs. Hurl. Il
ert and Waterbury remained until :
lie afternoon, an extraordinary fact,
Mess there was something up. A
rominent citizen and lifelong
says there Was a meet.
lg, last night, to consider q
an of putting Hendricks in T
ngliIh's place. The friends of s,
endricks say his record was as good
June as it is now. Mrs. Hend-
ks says the governor shall not ~
cept. English SAYS he won't have B
chance to accept, for be (English)
,uld not go of; he'll 60 down with b
g ship, and guess he will.
