SICK REPUBLICANS.
How the Ohio Defeat ETacfed
Them.
Special Dispatch to the Register

WASHINGTON, October 13.--It is
absolutely painful to watch the sad
features, limp attitudes and general
woe begone and grief 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 know
it was loaded sort of expression com.
mon to candidates who had sure
thing" and folks who have ju st re-
covered from the sudden explosion of
battery of boilers in close prox-
unity to them. A few of the leading
lights half expected something of the
sort, and were therefore partly pre-
pared, but the great majority, ruled
into security by the result in Maine
and the golden promises held out as
to what Ohio would do.
DROPPED FROM SURPRISING ALTITUDE,
and now go about with dazed and
bewildered expression which it will
take time and careful nursing to eff
fectually Danish. Democrats make no
attempt to conceal their satisfaction
and such is the happy frame of mind
into which they were thrown by the
news from Ohio, that even the loss of
two Congressman 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 a Democratic
President in the White House.
NEWS FROM INDIANA
is of the most glorious description.
Great Democratic gains can be coun-
ted on from every city in the State,
and members of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee at indianapolis
claim from $4,000 to 10000 majority,
and all but five Congressman. There
is no mistake about the way things
are drifting. The once great Re
publican party is going lift has not
already gone, to pieces. 1t has been
carrying two enormous dead weights
-Bossism in the East and Prohibi-
tion in the West-and it exhibits all
the symptoms of broken back as a
result.
MANY OF THE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES
from Pennsylvania and Indiana have
already gone home to take a hand in
the campaign, and others are prepar-
ing to go. The interest is altogether
unusual for an off year. The Repub
licans in the employ of the Govern
ment, as we'll as their party at home,
are divided. The Pennsylvania In
dependents will have the support Of
a percentage of the employees
although in most instances it
will be covertly given. Numbers,
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 con corning
employees hailing from New York. 1t
has been apparent of late that those
of Half Breed proclivities and sympa-
thies have received such instruction
or advice as has decided them to fol
low the Woodfords, the Curtses and
Weodins. In Foleer's own depart
ment are Republicans who go with
his enemies. New York Republi-
cans therefore, holding conspicuous
positions who wish to see Folger de-
feated, 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
Folger. here is field for him to work
in. He need not be ignorant where
to begin. He possesses the means
knowing how the case stands. He
can straighten out the crooked if he
has a mind to do it. If he does not
it will be because he is not SO mind
ed, and, like Blaine, wishes to see the
party overthrown. Prominent offici-
ais from Pennsylvania also have gone
home to exert an influence against
the Beaver ticket. If Chand Ter real
ly desires to save the party in the
Keystone State, here he can also ex-
ert 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 suspected of
! being in accord with Blaine. Why
does he not declare himself this is
not so and do something to recall the
wanderer wherevers they are? 1t is
time for Mr.. Chandler to speak out
and show his hand.
During the last session of Con
gress proposition was made to re-
duce the tax on salt, a necessary OF
life. The Democratic party voted in
