ATTORNEY GENERAL DEvEEs has practi-
cally decided that he will not authorize
the appointment Of any special election
deputies in the South for the next cleo.

the elections in those States and does not

An Indiana correspondent Of the Cincin-
matt Enquirer (Dem.) says:
"As the case stands to-day, II all the
candidates were 70 be voted for, give it
as nv prediction that the Republicans
would carry the State by 5000 votes. And
unless great changes take place you may
certainly expect that $4,000 soft money
Democrats will stay away from the polls on
election day. Party managers have been
insincere with the masses; they have dealt
with them as though they were fools, and
the people have had enough oil that thing
The big guns who think they own the vote
OF Indiana may find they are mistaken.
ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS is wise enough
to tell the truth-a failing which he has
not derived from his party associates. He
says there is nothing in any of the Demo-
cratic ISLANDERS against Garfield. A report
er Of the Augusta Chronicle credits him
with saying: "As to the CreditMobilier
matters, with which Gen. Garfield has
been charged, believe lie was altogether
innocent OF them. 1t will not do for the
Democratic party to throw mud at Gen.
Garfield, because II they do they will
elect him." Stephens was far in advance
OF his party in the secession days, and
again in the reconstruction period, and
still more lately in opposing the mad folly
OF the extra session. He will live again to
see his warnings neglected, and his pro.
phecies fulfilled, and the Democratic party
electing Garfield by the simple and char.
acteristic process OF throwing mud at him.
RUDoLPH LExow, the editor OF the New
York BelletitiSehes Journal IA German
paper, cool and quiet observer, political
writer and thinker, writes in his paper
about the Republican prospects in the
State Of New York as follows: "Since the
last State election, when the Republican
ticket was elected with the exception OF
one man, there has nothing happened to |
strengthen the Democratic party; on the |
contrary, very much has occurred to
weaken It, Among Republicans there
exists no dissatisfaction as 10 the Presiden.
tial nominee. The association Of young
Scratchers' has dissolved its organization, |
and Is working rank and file for Garfield,
The quiet observer must, under all
these existing circumstances, come to a
conclusion as to what the real political
situation Is In the State OF New York.
We are positive In what we say, and pre-.
dict that the State Of New York will give
at least majority for the Republican
ticket Of from 10 600 to 5000 votes at the
November election"
