THE PROSPECT IN IOWA.



bined Opposition.
j. S. Clarkson, Editor Des Moines Register.
1 estimate that Gov. Sherman will have
from $4,000 to 10000 majority over Kline
and Weaver both, and $4,000 majority over
Kinne and the Democracy alone. In the
Legislature twenty of the twenty-one hold
over senators are Republicans. OF the
twenty-nine to be elected the Republicans
will elect nineteen certainly, and probably
twenty three. OF the 100 members of the
House the Republicans will carry sixty-seven
certainly, seventy-ive very probably, and
have fighting chance for eighty. So there
will be an old-fashioned Iowa majority on
Joint ballot and Senator Allison will be re-
elected without doubt 1t has been the hard
est fought campaign we have ever had in Iowa.
The Democrats, reinforced by the Weaver
Greenbackers, have fought with desperation
and money from every township, hoping to
gain from Iowa their one needed vote to
gain control of the United States Senate and
to break Iowa from the Republican line for
1884. In the last two weeks they have made
a desperate raid and concentrated their
efforts on twenty-five of the close counties,
and have spent money lavishly, but Iowa
is not State which can be bought with
money. The first hope and effort of the
Democrats, especially after their fusion with
the Weaver Greenbackers, was to stampede
the -Prohbitionists from the Republican
party and to produce panic in its whole
line but when they brought Mcdonald and
Hendricks, the most offensive of Western
Democrats, to lead disappointed Repu ublicans
out of their old party into the Democratic
party they soon found the old party feeling
again coming to the surface We may
possibly lose 5000 or 5000 votes, but this
will be more than made up by the votes of
conscientious Democrats opposed to the sa-
loon and by the votes of Irish Democrats
opposed to free trade. Weaver will get
about 900 votes for Governor and the rest
of the Il, 900 of that party will be divided
nearly equally between the Republican and
Democratic tickets. We have probably sus-
tanned net loss of A, 600 or 5000 Republican
votes on the exodus to Dakota, but we have
always in Iowa a moral reserve OF $4,000 or
90 900 votes composed of Quakers, Dunkards,
and members of the Church of God and
other religious societies. who come to the
polls only when moral and patriotic ques-
tions are in issue. All of these will be out this
year, called by the fight against the saloons,
and all will be for the Republican ticket.
The result Will be the election of the entire
Republican ticket, including Judge Reed
who will not run at the lowest over 5000
behind his ticket, and may run up with it,
as he will run as far ahead of his ticket on the
slope as Hayes will run ahead in the river
counties.

COLUMBUS, Oct. S.-Nothing Is yet known
of the whereabouts of the young girl, Julia
Klaus, who so mysteriously disappeared
from this city nearly a week ago, and the ex-
citement over the affair is increasing. Fred.
Roth, her betrothed, received an envelope
the other day containing the engagement
ring and the single word Revenge" but it
was not in her handwriting. Mr.. Roth is dill
igently seeking to unravel the mystery, as
he does not believe it a simple case of deser-
ton. 1t is almost certain that some parties
in this city know more of the case than they
care to reveal, and rumor is rife. The sensa-
ton will continue to grow until the affair is
explained when it may possibly be greater
than ever. The most generally-receiyed
theory is that the girl was forcibly abducted
to prevent her marriage, which was to have
taken place on last Sunday.

GREATDAY FOR THE BEARS.
All Chicago Speculative Markets
Heavy and Lower.
Markets
Wheat Touches the Lowest Point Yet
QuOted-Four indianapolis Men Come
to Grief on Corn Margins.
ne.aa1 to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.

CHICAGO. Oct. Son Change, to-day, all
speculative markets were heavy and lower.
Wheat was weighted down by offerings of all
''long" holders, who are tired out. The
trade was immense, with holders making
concessions from the opening to the close,
with no indications of a reaction. Under
large receipts, limited shipping demand and
larger stocks in sight, prices declined about
two cents, and the lowest point of the crop
was touched.
Corn is one-half cent lower, with surpris-
ingly large receipts, Considerable activity
was caused by large lines of "long"
stuff beng sold out on account of
margins being exhausted, four of
the suffering speculators being from
from indianapolis. The bears are afraid,
and the 'longs" are worn out, but lower
prices are predicted.
Oats went off, and leading houses say the
May option is the only safe one to buy.
Another break occurred in provisions, and
everybody is thoroughly frightened. Pork
was hammered down twenty cents, and lard
suffered a sharp decline. There was little
good buying, although the October options
seemed to have some support Eldridges
people, the Chicago Packing Company and
New York were all free sellers Deferred
futures are very weak, and everybody is
waiting for trifing bulge to sell on.
On call, all markets braced up a little, with
sales of 1,5Ge,000 bushels of wheat for No
vember and December The sales of corn
were 1000 bushels, mostly November. Of
oats the sales were 10000 bushels, for May
delivery, There were sales of 5000 barrels
of pork, mostly January, and 10000 tierces
of lard, mostly January. 1t was a regular

CINCINNATI, Oct. S.-The election in Ohio
tomorrow, is for officers and Legislature.
There will also be three amendments to the
constitution voted on; one to change the ju-
dietary system, one to regulate the liquor
traffic, and one to prohibit it. The last

what portion of the total vote for Governor

workers have been set going everywhere to
lessen Republican chances by pointing out
to Republican supporters of the prohibition
movement the inconsistency of voting for
the Republican tickets and for the
proposed amendment. in view of the indorse-
ment in the Republican platform of liquor
taxation under the Scott law. The design is
to induce Republicans to vote the Prohibi-
ton ticket, which is alone consistent with
the proposed amendment. Prohibitionists
will be engaged for the undertaking, as far
as possible. so that it will not appear on its
face to be Democratic move. 1t is hoped
that many Republicans especially among
those who would not go to the polls but for
the prohibition amendment, may thus be-
come unconscious contributors to Demo-
cratic success. On this and on effective agi-
tation among the Germans, Democratic hopes
rest. The Republicans will devote them
selves to resisting these influences. The
threatened colored boltfrom the Republicans

it will bring out on the Western Reserve
and in the country districts where we al
ways have large stay at-home constituency.
Basing my calculations upon this increased

5000 to 10000 majority. There will be
a very close and doubtful fight upon
the legislature, but I believe we will
get it also. Any estimate by localities
or counties would be vaueless. In cam

cality may do.'
will you be disappointed if Foraker is
defeated?"
Yes will 1 don't see how it can be
done. Our canvass is in better shape than
that. of the Democrats, and our people in
better sort. Ohio is Republican State, and
the large vote that will be polled will elect
our State ticket"
"Will the liquor amendments carry?''
II think not. From what have seen and
heard in my tour of the State l feel sure that
they will fail, yet probably may be mis-
taken. My best judgment is that the end of
this fight will be the election of Foraker, and
mighty close fight on the Legislature.

a DANGEROUS TOY.
The --latest Invention to Kill Off Young
America.

The inventive genius of young law
student of st. Louis is apparently of
such dangerous character that meas
ures ought to be taken, in behalf of the
public veal. to confne his energies to
Blackstone, Chitty and kindred writer's,
or at least to divert them into the harm
less channel of legal pugilism. This
embryo barrister, says the Boston Her
aid, fell a victim to the toy pistol mania
some time ago, and for the past half
dozen years he has been racking his
brains and wearing out his chest of
tools in the effort to produce pistol
uperior-that is, more Decentralization
anything at present known. Several
patents on different forms of his toy
pistol have been taken out at different
times, but it has only been within day
or two that he has invented the ne plus
ultra in this weapon of carnage, and
filed papers in the United States Patent
Office protecting him in the invention,
from which many citizens will doubtless
soon be praying to be protected. A
reporter called upon the inventor, who
proudly exhibited his latest pet inven-
ton. The toy resembles an ordinary
pistol in general size, but is somewhat
smaller and lighter. A peculiarly adj
justed spring furnishes the propelling
power and explodes the paper caps
used, the spring being released by the
pulling of an ordinary trigger. Mar
bles are the miniature cannon balls used
for ammunition, and they are held in
place by a second spring. The distance
to which the marbles can be shot is reg
ulated solely by the strength of the
spring, but the inventor at present will
content himself with a discharge of fif-
teen feet IN a straight line. Broken
glass in mirrors and over pictures in
the inventors room attest the merits of
his invention. The safety of the weapon,
however, is insisted upon by its origin
ator. ''It's death on caps, and it's a
good shooter, too, but no one can be
harmed by it. Ladies using it will get
accustomed to the explosion and be
better able to defend themselves with
genuine pistols. 1t will make marks
men of the youngsters. The pistol can t
harm any one. Why, it hasn't got
power enough to break homeopathic
medicine bottle at four yards. The boys
are crying for it already. Half dozen
to whom have shown this model have
been around to find out when / am going
to begin manufacturing them. They all
want to set up shooters galleries in
their coal sheds. There are three East
ern manufacturing companies figuring
upon the purchase of the patent and
beginning them at once. I don't be-
lieve 1 will sell, though. They can be
made to sell for % cents and have a
big margin for profit, and 1 am thinking
of beginning to put them upon the
market. Safe or not, they will take
with the boys, and that is all that is
necessary"
