THE LITTLE GAME IN OHIO BLOCKED.
CHICAGO, October 4th.-Specials from Co
lumbus, o., indicate that the desperate still.
hunt which the Democrats have been con-
Quoting in Ohio has been earthed by the Re-
publicans, both as to its effects and its meth
DDS. 1t was brilliant idea of Chairman
Barnum, of the National Committee, and
one which came near succeeding to capture
Ohio, by the liberal use of money and other
means known to him, and to end the cam
paign then and there. There had not been a
doubt in the minds of Ohio Republicans that
that State would give stalwart Republican
majority In October, but when the quick and
etfectual work of thousands of Democrats
was put in where the most skillful political
schemers of the Democratic party directed
that it should be put. the phases of the po-
litical sky began to change rapidly, and but
for the note Of warning sounded by some
equally shrewd Republicans, the State of
Ohio would have stood fair show of coming
in in October with Democratic majority.
Republican orators of great ability are con-
surpassed in the history of the State The
Democrats have not given up their plan yet,
but yesterday Mr.. Barnum, who, as he said,
came to Ohio simply to attend to private
business, met John G. Thompson and all the
other more prominent Democrats in the
State, especially from the districts which are
classed as doubtful, and it is said made ar.
rangements by which it was hoped to carry
all the doubtful districts by such large ma

others will be overcome. The papers are full
of the details of the plan outlined, and it is
quite probable now that the Democrats
scheme will prove abortive, so far as Ohio is
concerned.
THE OUTLOOK IN INDIANA.
New YORK, October 4th-The Times says
Democrats returning from In1iana, after
stumping the towns in that State, claim that
Landers will be elected by 10000 plurality,
and that Landers himself thinks So They
claim that the Republicans are colonizing
voters in the State. The Republicans also
claim the State by majority of some 1900
to 10000, and have proof of thousands of
men being imported into the State for Demo-
cratic votes. The State is pretty well pa
trolled by detectives in Republican employ,
to detect and prevent any attempt at fraudu-
lent voting.
CONGRESSMAN C0XS FRANK.
NEW York, October 4th. = The Times
learns with regret that Congressman, Cox,
who volunteered to aid the Times in discover
ing the person who forged his frank, has left
Washington for Indiana without making good
his word. He gave wide berth to the Post
Office Department and to the postoffice in
which three bags filed with franked envel-
opes bearing his name are in quarantine. If
he were anxious to hush up the whole matter
and have nothing said about his double, " he
could not have been more shady.
ANOTHER CAUSE OF THE REPUBLICAN DEFEAT
IN MAINE.
NEW YORK, October 4th-Neal Dow,
lecturing yesterday ascribed the Republican
defeat in Maine to its leaders catering to the
rum-selling interest, and the Republican off
Gals neglectiEg to enfore the prohibition law.
They pleaded "solid South in our ears.
while the chief officers of the State tried to
overthrow the temperance law. We looked
the situation in the face, and came to the con-
clusion that our law must and should stand,
and we did not vote for their candidates.
This is what lost Maine to the Republicans
this fall. Let the solid South" come, bat
intemperance must go. We are temperance
men first, and Republicans afterward BY
her temperance Maine has saved S24 600, 600,
and business is in more satisfactory condi-
ton than ever During the panic we did not
suffer, as we were saving what the New
Workers were spending over bars.
THE "BAR'L IN INDIANA.
New YORK, October 4th.-The Tribune
says: A Republican success in Indiana is not
sure, simply because there is danger of the
Democrats unloosing an enormous fund for
the purchase of doubtful votes on election
day. The amounts they have raised in this
city within the past fortnight for this pur-
pose are without precedent. Samuel J. Til.
den makes a fresh contribution of S25, 900
Augustus Schell gives 800, 600, and others
contribute in proportion-all for single
Western State in October, and all after the
legitimate expenses of the campaign have
been provided for. Doubtless many of these
gentlemen will be shocked to learn
that their money was to be used for
the actual purchase of votes at the polls
on election day, but Mule buyer Barnum is
the man attending to the disbursements.
Large sums are believed by many to be
reaching him also from England. Weshould
he slow to believe this but it is known that
English manufacturers have contributed lib
orally to send documents to affect the Pres
idential election in favor of the tariff for
revenue party, and perhaps in the crisis of
the campaign it might seem only step from
documents to what Mr.. Tilden has taught us
to know as the best United States documents.
If General Slocum did not hurry from Liver
pool to Indianapolis thus burdened, he has
been naligned.
A WEALTHY CAMPAIGN CLUE.
New YORK, October 4th.-The Stock Ex-
change Campaign Club now numbers over
800 members, with james u. Smith as Presi-
dent. Among the members are Russell Sage,
J. Hutchinson, G. b. Foote, Brayton Ives
and others of the most prominent men on
Wall street. The E,eaing Commercial says
the club already represents over 1915, DOC, 600
Of capital.
