TIE REPUBLICANS ON OHIO AND INDIANA
At republican headquarters the advces from
Ohio are that the democratic ideas OF carrying
the congressional districts Of Young and But
teTWo1th are based on proposition to make
use OF Kentucky and Philadelphia repeaters
This charge is boldly made, and they say the
most careful precautions have been taken to
avert the fraud. They expect to hold every
congressional district now represented by a
republican, and to beat Frank Hurd-thus max
thousand majority, and say the state has never
been as thoroughly canvasSed as it is now.
None OF the republican leaders here believe that
anything can happen to injure their party pros
stIength IN Congress Or the expected 10000
majority.

not candidly claim the state but expect to cut

BUNsBYIsM AMONG NEW YORK LEADERS,
1 have given you the two sides here, without
going into details, and now want to make sug-
gestion. Suppose Indiana should go republican
and Ohio democratic next Tuesday? Indeed it
would not surprise any OF the leaders OF either
party here. and as several OF the leaders say to-
day, there are many good reasons for believing
In such result, and certainly nothing to be
surprised at In It, In view Of the recent extraor-
Glnarily vigorous work On both sides In both
states. The careful observers who analyze the
dispatches from out there agree that both states
VIII be very close.
NEW JERSEY POLITICS.

nor, formerly OF st. Louis, and now of New Jer-
sey,-well known In Washington. He says Mile
Ross Will be beaten for Congress in the Patter-
son district and that John Hill, republican. win
be elected. That Smith, democrat, OF the At
laDttc district, VIII be defeated. because the
grtenbackerS, who elected him two years ago
