IT is really amusing to see the Washburn
organs argue that he (Washburn) perform
ed heroic act when he declined DR.. Ames'
challenge to debate. They shout snd
chuckle as though their candidate had per-
formed some wonderful feat of physical or
intellectual valor? The fact is, Bill Wash
burn is political coward and
positive ignoramus so far as
discussing public affairs are
concerned. He can encase his lily white
hands in kid gloves. strut about and look
wise, and by keeping his mouth shut not
disclose the fact that he does not know
anything. If he was to undertake to meet
an opponent in political debate his stupid
ignorance would be positively painful. If
he has to repeat three or four lines on a
public occasion, he wears the manuscript
in his coat tail pocket because he has
not brains enough to commit the little
speech some one has written for him. to
memory. If he had not been a political
and intellectual coward he would have met
DR.. Ames before the people whose votes
they solicit. The ''organs" only advertise
the imbecility of their candidate when
they do their shouting.

The Wackerle life insurance CASE

The Wackerle life insurance case re-
Gently tried at St. Louis is one of the
most peculiar which the history OF life in
surace has developed. Mrs. Wackerle,
while residing at Carver, this state, re-
ceived news that her husband had been
killed in Texas. Upon presenting her
claim for the life insurance the widow
was confronted with the charge that her
husband was not dead. The
inevitable detective was called into
reouisition and in the trial at st. Louis
man was produced who swore that he
was Mrs. Wackerle's husband, and further
that he was not dead and had not been
killed at any time in his life. When
a dead man produces himself in court and
swaers that he is not dead, it would seem
to be pretty strong case but it did not
win in this instance, Mrs. w. repu-
dated the alleged husband,
declared that she had never
seen him but once and the jury evidently
believed her as it gave her a verdict. The
whole case is an illustration of how 55'de-
tectives" aften commit instead of detect
crime. The insurance company having
made the mistake of employing a pro-
fessional detective, he proceeded to earn
his pay by having the brother of the de-
ceased swear that he was the missing hus-
band. The verdict is a squelcher on the
''detective" system.

A Large Vote Predicted.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. e.-The total vote
cast in 1881 for the several candidates for
governor was 624, 226. This was falling
off from the presidential vote of 1880 of
100, IA votes. Of that loss 52,395 came
from the Democrats. This year the loss
will undoubtedly be considerable from that
of 1880. However, the total vote of the
year will be much in excess of the year
1881. From the present hot contests go
ing on in some of the congressional dis
tricts of the state, it would not be surpris-
ing if the total vote would run up any
where from $4,000 to 10000. Of
the stay at home vote ev-
cry indication is that it
will be far greater on the Democratic side
than on the Republican. It would not be
surprising if the Democratic stay-at-homes
would aggregate $4,000, while the Republi-
cans will not likely exceed 10000. When
the Republicans, last year, carried the
state by a plurality of $4,000, they were
crippled very considerably by the temper
ance vote, which ran up to $4,000 more
than is usually cast by that party. With
the temperance issue, the over-shadowing
one in this contest, the Republicans conf
IDENTIFY expect to get back to their ranks
that largely increased temperance vote OH
last year, which will make an
accession to the Republicans of not less
than 10000 votes, which will no doubt
balance the Republican losses in Hamilton
and Cuyahoga counties. The Republicans
will lose votes in the other large cities of
the state, such as Columbus, Toledo, Day
ton, and Sandusky, but losses in those cit.
les will be overcome by the temperance
Democrats in the 1900 country voting
precincts OF the state. So in summing up
it would now seem that the Republican
state ticket, upon a total vote of 100000
cast by all parties, will not
fall below $4,000 majority.
A total vote in the state anywhere from
100000 to 100000, will give Republican
majority of not less than 10000.
The Saloon Interest in Ohio.

DAYTON, O., Oct. 8.-As election Gay
approaches the campaign in this part of
the state grows exceedingly warm and ex-
citing. The saloon men have definitely
and openly made an issue for favoring
liquor by calling secret meeting and
agreeing to pay into the fund for Demo-
cratic electioneering purposes $40 apiece,
which, there being upward of 800 in this
city alone, makes a neat sum of about
$4,000. If the saloon men in other cities
of the district respond as literally $780,
600 can be raised. Besides the
above they will station committee
at every voting precinct to work for the
ticket on election day. The meeting
where all the above was determined was
secretly held, but, as soon as it adjourned,
the enthusiasm ran so high that the entire
transaction was blown to the four winds.
The news spurred on the Republicans, who
held a rousing meeting at the city hall
yesterday and adopted measures to counter
act and check the influences of the enemy,
The remaining day of the campaign in this
part of the state will be extremely hot and
exciting.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-The rebellious tone
of half-breed newspapers like the Albany
Erening Journal, which declares that
''the future contains nothing more posi-
lively probable than the overwhelming de-

which asserts that his letter of acceptance
is "a disappointment and sorrow" is
the occasion of much anxious
concern, not only with the state
committee, but of all Republicans that de-
sire the success of the state ticket. As
soon as the trouble about congress man at
large is settled, an effort will be made to
obliterate the doings at Saratoga, and to
work up some sort of popular enthusi-
asm by starting series of mass meetings
throughout the state. Roscoe Conkling. it

ton, and he even backs it up with prom

there is no reasonable question, as the

such fools as to bring themselves once
more under the dominion of Boss Kelly

Doesn't liant the Doubtful Honor.


New York, Oct. 8.-Howard Carroll, of
the New York Times, who has been men
toned for the Office of congressman at
large, on the Republican ticket, in place
of Hepburn, declined, writes the follow
ing card:
1t has been stated in a prominent news
paper of this city, that the suggestion of
my name, as congressman-at- large, is
prompted by belief that such nomina-
ton on the part of the Republican state
committee, would result in large contri-
button of money to be used in
the pending canvass. I have no rea-
son to believe there is any foundation
in fact for this statement. Still, that there
may be no possibility of mistake, and in
simple fairness to the gentlemen who have
the matter in control, take this way of
saying. with as much emphasis as may be,
that from careful observation and some
what intimate acquaintance with the inner
workings of both political parties, I am
convinced that the one greatest curse of
our political system is the corrupt use of
money and patronage in elections. We're
l nominated, should not, directly or indi-
rectly, pay Or cause to be paid one dollar
to secure an election. Further than this,
may say that believing the work of Of
fce-seeking, place-brokerage and position
peddling are no part of the business of a
| member of congress. I should, if elected,
refuse positively to take any part in the
general scramble for place in departments,
an occupation which can only be engaged
in by neglecting legitimate and nee
essary work in the house at the
sacrifice of self-respect and to
the serious detriment and disgrace of the
public service. In short, I could only
accept the nomination with the distinct un-
derstanding that in addition to earnestly
and sincerely subscribing to all the time
honored principles Of my party should
enter the canvass upon the clean new plat
form of honest, progressive and independ-
ent Republicenism. If there be any gen.
tleman who would vote for my nomination
on other terms, I beg him to refrain from
doing SO. His action could only result in
disappointment.

in excess of that shall be without paw,
whether leave be granted or not. 1t has
been customary to give employees who 90
home to vote, ten days leave with
continuance of salary, but
MIR. Butler says the new
rule which is not evaded or violated, puts
stop to that. 1t is often the cese, espec-
tally with western men, that they take
their regular thirty days leave in the fall,
so as to bring the election into the vaca-
ton. In years of general elections the
ten days leave is added, and one Illinois
official says that two years ago, by adding
his two leaves and stretching them little,
he had fortT-three days at home. But he
had to do good deal of extra work after
returning in order to catch up with
his work. At this time only Ohio voters
would be going home for political reasons,
and Mr.. Butler says that no unusual num-
Der of leaves are now being granted. The
number of absentees is not large enough
to be noticed. In the Interior department
considerable number of employees have
gone home, six or seven days being allowed
those going to Ohio. There is desire in
the department to have as little as possible
said about the matter.
THE more there is said about it, said
one of the officials to-day, 1.-THE worse it
makes it. It is not a good thing
for the party to have needless attention
called to it." Employees in the govern
ment printing Office are not allowed vaca-
tions,like clerks in the departments,and the
public printer has to certify that the en-
ployes have earned the money paid them.
This threatened to interfere with the de-
sire of the printing Office employees to save
the country, but Mr.. Rounds arranged
that those of his subordinates who go home
to vote shall have an opportunity after get
ting back Of doing enough extra work to
make up the total of their pay.

they would be good enough to come to
a small retired village. they should at
once be paid; and in order to save them
the fatigue and danger of discovery in
volved by going on foot, he offered to
take them to the place he named in his
boat, which was not far of. The brig

Between A Sharks Jaws.

Anthony Mcdonald, a sailor belong
ing to the English ship Forest Rights,
was drowned while bathing near the
Central wharf. Being good swimmer.
it is not known whether he was seized
with cramps or attacked by shark.
The mate of vessel lying near went to
his assistance as soon as it was known
that he was in peril, but before reaching
the spot the unfortunate youth had sunk
out Of sight. The body was dragged
for, but was not recovered until the next
morning, when it was found to have
been horribly mutilated by sharks. De-
ceased was aged Is, native of Liver
pool, and this was his first voyage. We
are told that while quite q party of gen.
tlemen were viewing the body. an inn
mense shark estimated to be more than
fifteen feet in length-arose to the sur
face and, seizing the body, instantly
carried it under the wharf. Parties
standing near took hold of the rope and
after tug with the monster they de-
prived him of his prey. The subsequent
attack of the man-eater Is conclusive
proof that the young man met an awful
death in the voraciOus jaws Of Q shark.

gone, while q large cash was visible in
