Special Dispatch to the Register.
WAsHINsroS, October 2I.-A summary Of
the reports sent to Republican headquar-
ters here from the various States voting in
November show q state of affairs which
augurs i'll for the future prospect of the
party in power. Some few localities report
that the Ohio waterloo has had tendency
to solidify the party and bring the voters
10 realization of the fact that there will
be pressing need for their presence at the
polls, but the vast majority of letters and
kilograms tell different story. There is
no doubt that a very large percentage of
the rank and file are determined that
Boss Rule and Machine DIetatIon
mustsend, even if Democratic President
should be the outcome, and the sooner the
leaders accept this fact and act accordingly
the better will be their prospects for new
lease OF political life. Things look bad all
through the New England States for the
| Republicans. Chandler's tactics have cre-
ated great dissatisfaction in New Hamp-
shire, and the internal feuds in the ranks
] promise to result in large Democratic gains.
In Massachusetts, things are no better. Col
lector worthington's refusal to let Hub
bells land pirates have full SWING in the
| custom house has stirred up pretty size
able row, and will do the cause OF
| Butler and the Democrats much good.
Several grip sacks of Hub6elps
| plunder have been taken South by
workers in the aauSe, in the hope OF sur
| prising the Democrats and making Congress
| sional gains, but so far the result has not
been gratifying. In Mississippi, Bruce,
after calling upon all the gods to dash him
to pieces if he uttered word IN favor OF
Chalmers, has at last been
Forced 90 Take the stump,
and is now actively engaged in whooping
things up in the interest OF that apostate
| Democrat. The prospect Malone once ap-
peared TO have of winning a victory in
Virginia seems to have been nipped by the
early frosts, and the opposition has recently
received decided impulse. There are vague
rumors that the statesman from Maine has
had something to do with this state OF
affairs, il being asserted that the straignt-
outs have been the recipients OF consider
able sum of money direct from Blaine. 1t
was this which caused the late wall OF an
guish TO 90 up from the little boss OF the
Old Dominion for more funds. Postmaster
General Howe brings bad news from the

certain, with possibility OF worse things

Loss OF q Member In Nebraska
has been the cause of great deal OF strong
language at the headquarters. Measure;
were some time since taken TO INK up" the
Quarrel going on there, but late reports
from the scene Of action are not favorable
for the election Of Republican. Senator
Van Wyck is not held blameless, and hi
relations with Blaine are referred to as thu
: key to the matter. Secretary Teller ma!

the fences he looked after six weeks ag'

distant, the same causes are represented u

. as everywhere else. The Senator does
however, have hopes of Republican mem
her from his own Nevada. There are som
of the reports recently received at the Hub
n bell headquarters. As to New 1ork
r Pennsylyania, Indiana and Illinois even
: the result in each of these States is expected
O TO be of a piece with Ohio. To his friend
