= WAsH1seros, October 13.-It is absolute-
" painful to watch the sad features limp
attitudes and general woe.begone and griet-
stricken air of the Republicans here, from
Hubbell down to the smallest salaried CLERK
in the departments. They generally betray
that surprise and didn' t-knowit-was-loaded
sort of expression common to candidates
who had sure thing" and folks who
have lust recovered from the sudden ex-
plosion of battery of boilers in close prox-
imity TO them. "A few of the leading lights
half expected something OF the sort, and
were therefore partly prepared, but the
great majority, lulled into security by the
result in Main and the golden promises
held out as to what Ohio would do,
Dropped From Surprising Attitude'
and now go about with dazed and DEVIL
dered expression which it will take time
and careful nursing to effectually Danish.
Democrats make no attempt to conceal this
satisfaction, and such is the happy frame
of mind into which they were thrownb by
the news from Ohio, that even the loss OF
two CoSgressmen in your State makes not
the slightest impression upon them. All
agree that the boom is just inaugurated,
and that next month will see an old
fashioned wave of Democracy sweeping
over the land, which will defy all efforts to
check its course, until it lands Demo
cratic President in the White House.
is of the most glorious description. Great
Democratic gains can be counted on from
every city in the State, and members OF the
Democratic Executive Committee at In
dianapolis claim fIom $4,000 to 10000 ma
iority, and all but five Congressman. There
is no mistake about the way things are
drifting. The once great Republican party
is going, if it has not already gone, to
pieces. 1t has been carrying two enormous
dead weights-Bosssm in the East and
Prohibition in the West-and it exhibits
all the symtoms of broken back as re-
suit
Many OF the Department Employees
from Pennsylvania and Indiana have
already gone home to take hand in the
campaign, and others are preparing to go.
The interest is altogether unusual for an
off year. The Republicans in the employ
of the Government, as we'll as their party at
home, are divided. The Pennsylvania lnde-
pendents will have the support OF per.
centage of the employees, although in most
instances it will be coyertly given. Num-
bers, there is reason to believe, have sue,
ceeded thus far in Disgusting their real
intention. Some, however, do not hesitate
to declare that they will work and vote
against the bosses
without Fear of Losing Places.
This is also the fact concerning employees
hailing from New York. 1t has been ap-
parent of late that those of Half. Breed pro-
cliyities and sympathies have received such
instruction or advice as has decided them
TO follow the Woodfords, the Curtises and
Woodins. In Folger's own department are
Republicans who 20 with his enemies. New
York Republicans, therefore, holding con-
spicuous positions who wish to see Folger
defeated, and without intending to COM
promise themselves, will help bring his
defeat about.
In nearly every instance, so far as can be
ascertained these disaffected employees
Belong TO the Blaine Faction.
IF Secretary Chandler wishes to help Fol-
ger, here is a field for him to work in. He
need not be ignorant where to begin. He
possesses the means for knowing how the
case stands. He can straighten out the
crooked if he has a mind to do 1t. Ii he
does not it will be because he is not SO
minded, and, like Blaine, wishes to see the
party overthrown. Prominent officials from
Pennsylyania also have gone home to exert
an influence against the Beaver ticket. II
Chandler really desires to save the party in
the keystone State, here he can also exert
himself. Nothing is better known than
that Blaine is in full sympathy with the
Pennsylvania independents, and specially
wants to see Cameron buried out Of sight.
Chandler is the member of the cabinet sns-
pected of being in accord with Blaine. Why
does he not declare himself if this is not so,
and do something to recall the wanderers,
wherever they are? II Is time for Mr..
Chandler to speak out and show bis hand
