THE Pittsburg Telegraph regards the
Ohio election rs having settled the ques-
ton OF woman's rights at the polls. Be-
iieving in the benefits to themselves, their
neighbors and their families from the
enforcement of a prohibitory law, the
women OF Ohio went to the polls on Tues.
day of last week, put up cofee-stands at
the voting places, where they dispensed
fragrant Mocha free to all, button-holed
the sovereign voter, coaXed, bullied and
cajolcd him nearly out of his senses and
to the honor OF American manhood, not
one woman was treated in any way but
with courtesy by even the most reckless oI
the men present. People may doubt the
propriety OF women appearing at the
voting places, but the fact that they may
do so fearlessly and without danger of be
ing molested is indubitable. As the Pitts
burg telegraph wisely remarks, the elec.
ton in Ohio has settled the question by
Showing that women can take an active
part in the most exciting political contests
without fear of insult"

Lore and Lar, which is the title OF the
latest drama in the Nobles's repertoire is an
American melodrama in three acts, with
an Irish lawyer for its hero and an'Italian
street-singer for it's interesting female.
Two acts of the play are given up to love,
and the last to law. The scenes are laid
in New York, and the people of the play
are such as you could find any
day in the metropolis. The story
reveals the tender nature of the Hiber-
nian attorney and several adventurous
phases OF the street-singer's career. Felix
O'Paf' takes an interest in the girl, learns
to love her, and when his strong right arm
is required for her protection, he is on
hand to shield her. When she gets into
the clutches of IA villainous Italian, and is
held prisoner in his den, 'O'PafF is the
valiant knight who comes to her rescue
and sets things to right in time to claim

y SPECIAL telegram to the New York
Herald states that Sir Stafford Northcote' s
visit to Ireland is universally regarded as
a huge personal and political blunder.
The copious streams of wishy-washy chat

proof of abyssmal barrenness of mind and
expression. That the intellectual diet

COukIing Also Believes "a Break-up In-
eyita5Ie.

Ex-senator Conkling, who has been
here for several days, shares the same
views expressed by Judge Davis. Conk-
ling is quite content to remain out of
politics until a new deal is made. The
Democrats, he believes, will be successful
next year. Their prosperity will be their
ruin. The Republicans will go to pieces
after the downfall, and out OF the two great
parties will be born a new Independent
National party-a party of broad ideas
into which all classes and sections may
come. Then when the breakup comes,
Conkling will have an ample fortune and
will seek his old position in the Senate.
Notwithstanding his outward philosophic
calm and attention to business, he is out of
his element when out of politics. He is
ranging himself in the position of a good
citizen. His domestic relations are now
pleasant. He has the confidence of the
business men of New York. He takes no
interest in politics OF the present time be-
yond that of mere observer, because he
believes the breakup is too near at hand.
Who are to be Candidates.
Judge Davis believes Tilden can have
the Democratic nomination next year if
he desires it, but he does not pretend to
have any special information upon the
subject. He is a great admirer of Judge
Gresham, the Postmaster-General, and
thinks he has most promising future
Gresham is too high-minded to remain in
the Cabinet and act as a Presidential can
didate against the interests OF Aathur
Judge Davis as an unprejudiced observer
from his vantage ground of private life,
says that he thinks if the Republican
voters OF the country could have their say
about the nomination next year that
Blaine would receive the support of over
three-fifths of them. Blaine, however, he
understands, is not a candidate, and he
has no idea how he will stand in the next
convention. Senator Logan, most unques-
tionably, will have the support of Illinois
in the next convention, and a very large
support from other Western States. He
knows nothing of Losan's strength in the
East, as he has not been in that section of
the country for some time.

VHLAINOUS ATTEMPT
To Wreck IA Passenger Train Near
Wheeling, w. Va.

WHEELING, w. Va, October 16.-A vii
lainous attempt was made tonight on the
Parkersburg, Cincinnati and Western rail-
way to wreck the passenger train at Glen S
Run, seven miles above this city, where a
rail was tied across the track. There is a
stretch of track at this point level and
straight, and good time is always made.
The train was running at the rate of sixty
miles an hour, and when the engine struck
the obstruction it jumped into the air but
fortunately kept the rails. The rear cars
broke the rail and the train passed unin-
jured. If the train had been thrown off
the track it would have plunged into the
Ohio, over an embankment, as the track is
very narrow at this point, and great loss
of life would have ensued

RayArts ON Rufler

In an interview at the residence of
Charles James Faulkner, at Martinsburg,
Berkley county, on Saturday night, SEN
ator Bayard, of Delaware, said, when
asked for an opinion as to the chances of
Democratic success next year: "The pros
pect is most favorable. The Democratic
party is on the eve of brilliant triumph
The result in Ohio foreshadows this with
out doubt. Even if Judge Foraker had
been elected we would not have been
much jeopardized, but Democratic tri-
umph, after such great eXertions had been
put forth by the Republicans, puts Ohio
in the Democratic ranks and places the
election OF our candidate beyond the
shadow of doubt"
"What do you think of Gov. Buffers
chances of becoming the Democratic
standard-bearer?
Butler has no chances. He is not a
man to be trusted. The Democratic party
has no use for the leadership of an apos-
tate, man who for fifteen years was one
of the most fanatical Republicans in the
country"
"You do not admire him, then?'
"How can l admire such man ? When
the Democratic party needed every voter
Butler turned traitor, and now, when we
who have borne the heat and burden OF
the day see victory almost within our
grasp, he seeks 10 crawl back into the
ranks that he may seize upon some of the
emoluments OF success. The local in
terests of Massachusetts, may demand a
leader of that stripe, but the national

treachery in 1860. He would stab the
