BARNUM'S STRATEGY.
A Great Battle in Ohio and I'm.
DIANA

Barnum is now in Ohio, and has
been there for three days, although it
has not been publicly announced, and he
is there on business. He is fully salts
fed that Ohio is a doubtful State with
Garfield, and he will startle the Repub
lican leaders by his bold and hopeful
efforts to carry it. He now feels cer-
tain of both the Cincinnati districts.
and as Cincinnati has carried the State
in every close contest since 1875. he re
CARDS it as fairly debatable, and he will
throw his best speakers and his hither- I
to well husbanded means equally into
Ohio and Indiana for a thirty-day fight.
The loss of Ohio to Garfield in October,
or n nominal Republican majority there
for the State ticket. would in his Judge
mept, carry New York, sylvania,
New Jersey, Connecticut. New Hamp-
shire. Wisconsin. California, Nevada
and Oregon. without costly campaigns
aud by large majorities. You may res
Y upon the statement that before the
middle OF September the Republican
leaders will understand what Barnum
has been doing, and they will be more
earnest in their defensive campaign in
OHIO than in their aggressive campaign
in Indiana.
Barnum's theory about Indiana is
that it Is naturally "A Domcratic State.

and English shaft be ready to advance

of the Republicans will be largely ex-
hansted, and, With defiant assaults made

they will be unequal to the struggle.
Barnum has not a doubt about Indiana,

English has the money to offset the

it because he must spend it or allow
the Republicans to buy the State away

Gratis have not spent one dollar in In

bnt after the middle of September, the
Democrats will have more to spend

GLOOM IN MINING.
Death OF 1t. GOV. Robinson. Of Col
0radO Whining NIilii0naire
What is Thought in New York.

Especial DISPATCH 10 The Ere1iisg S'dr.l
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The mining business
here has been thrown into considerable gloom
and excitement by the death of George B. Rob
inson, lieutenant governor OF Colorado at the
mine named after him. There is suspicion
almost amounting to belief that he was muir
dered by diSaffected miners of the Mollie Ma
guire persuasion. His death will affect the Ten
Mile and Leadyille mining interest for some
time on account of his prominent position in
them, and the fact that several very important
suits before the courts have been managed by
him, and his place can only be filled with great
difficulty and delay. Gov. Robinson was only
SO years Of age, and bore reputation for enter
prise and Integrity that made him advance
rapidly In business and public favor. He was
engaged to be married to young lady In Nor
walk, Conn, and was soon to come east to full
fill the engagement. In three years he has
accumulated a large fortune. In Robinson
mining stock alone, which is selling at ten dol
lars, he owned one hundred and fifty thouS and
shares, ard his railroad interests and other
mining stocks place him among the milllonaireS
OF the country. He leaves mother and sister,
his only relatives.
