COLUMBUS, Oct. 4.--There are in
dications that desperate sti.' ;''nf,
which the Democrats have bs,h II
ductins in Ohio, has been unearthe':
by the Republicans, both rs to Ell
fects and 1t. methods. 1t was a
brilliant idea Of Chairman Barnum,
of the National Commit ee, and one
which came neat succeeding. to cap
ture Ohio by tue liberal nse OF mon
CIV and other means known to INN,
and TO end the campaign thea and
there. There has not been = G"uot
in the minds Of Ohio Repubicans
that their State would give stall
wart Republican majority In Octo.
Der, but when the quiet and effectnai
work of thousands Of Democrat.
were put in where the most skiliful
political schemes of the Democratic
party directed that it should be put,
phases of the political sky began to
change rapidly, and but for the note
of warning, sounded by some equal
" shrewd Republicans, the State OF
Ohio would have stood a fair show OF
coming in in October with Demo-
cratic majority.
Republican orators of grent abili-
~ are conducting the campaign with
an activity never 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
prominent Democrats in the State,
especially from the Districts which
are classed as doubtful, and it is
said made arrangements by which it
was hoped to carry all the doubtful
Districts by such large majorities
that the Republican vote in others
will be overcome The papers are
full Of details of the plan outlined,
and it is quite probable now that the
Democratic schemes will prove abor-
fire 80 fal us Ohio is concerned
NEW YoRK. Oct. 4.-The Tribune
says: Republican success in Indiana
10 not sure SIMPLY because there is
danger OF Democrats unloosing an
enormous fund for the purpose OF
doubtful votes on election day. The
amount they have raised in this city
within the past fortnight for this
purpose are without precedent.
Samuel J. Tilden makes fresh con-
tribution Of $4,000. Augustus
6chell gives $4,000. Others con-
tribute 10 proportion, all for a single
Western State in October and ali
after the legitimate expenses OF cam
paign 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 dis
bursements; large sums are believed
by many to be reaching hin also
from England. We should be slow
to believe this, but it is known that
English manufacturers have contrib
uted iberaIly to send documents to
affect the Presidential election in ia
vor Of the tariff for revenue party,
and perhaps in the crisis of the cam :
paign itmight seem only step from
documents to what Mr.. Tilden calls
the best United States documents.
If Gen. Slocum did not hurry from
Liverpool to Indianapolis thus bur-
iened, be has been maligned.
