THE RErOEM DEMocRicY
or Ohio will Keep tn.ir Ticket In tn.
Pieid-No Compromise.

CINCINNATI, September 30.-The Com
mcrcial Ga:stte has the following: 1t is now
safe to assume that the two factions can not
and will not come together, and that the
two Democratic tickets will remain in the
field.
The FIRST member Of the Campaign Com.
mittee found was Theodore Cook, its
Chairman, who, with several others, was
found hard ut work at headquarters.
Mr.. Cook was asked II there was any
truth at all in the Engairer's statement OF
his negotiations with Julius ReiR, Congress
man Jordan aud others looking to with
drawal OF the College Hall ticket. Mr..
Cook answered: "Nota.word OF truth in
any OF them. There are no negotiations
pending, and will be none. The result Of
the conference committees OF the High
land House party, OF which Dir. Refs was
Chairman, and Of the College Hall party,
OF which was Chairman, settled the whole
business, and is known TO the public. They
admitted everything we charged upon
them, and admitted the fairness VI our pro-
position for the withdrawal Of both tickets
and q new convention; but when We asked
them toundo their wrong they refused and
said they had seen their candidates and
that they would not withdraw.
"rhey have put the responsibility Of
failure upon their candidates, who would
not take the chances OF new and honest
convention. Do you think honest voters
will vote for candidates who take such
position? don't"
Then its fight to the end is it?'
"Yea, to be sure. What else could We
do? We will circulate our tickets all over
the county, and every voter OF whatever
party will have an opportunity OF casting
bis ballot for the Reform ticket. The
tax payers Of both parties are getting
alarmed at the combinations made
aud making for perfect boss system
and ring rule in our county politics, and II
there are no frauds at the polls, destroying
Of bsllot.boxes, or changing ofballots af-
ter ihey are cast, you may look out to see
the Reform ticket elected over the machine
work Of hoth parties.".
"Haye you made provision against such
frauds?"
ayes, we think we have. Great frauds
generally come ss q surprise. We shall be
on the alert. All we ask for Is a chance to
cast our votes as we desire, without the in
reference Of bullies, and then to have
them honestly counted"

expectant crowd. How many people?
Three thousand, to-day, they say; yester.
day between 5000 and 1000, admission
twenty.f cents. In point of attendance,
then, here is very handsome success.
The best fair is failure II the people do
not come 10 see 1t. But the Middlebourne
fair is a success apart from the people.

CHICAGO, Feb. ia GLOBE reporter to-
day interviewed Mr.. A. L. Clark, of the
Wilmington Coal association and of the
Wilmington and Vermillion mines, at his
Office on La Sale street. Mr.. Clark said the
total number of miners lost was seventy
three. Fifty men had left families. The
statement that the 'scave-in" occurred at
the same spot which broke through three
years ago was not correct. This time the
surface water had come in
100 yards from the old place,
which had been securely fixed after the
former accident happened. Almost one
half of the workings were abandoned and
there being a slight inclination toward the
bottom of the main shaft, the water rushed
directly toward it and so stopped the
means of escape first and then pen etrated
to every part where the men were cutting
coal. The men who escaped were fortu-
nate enough to be near the only air shaft
in the part of the mine that was being
worked and perhaps more might have
escaped by that way but the water must
have been too quick for them. No doubt
many of the miners must have rushed
straight to the main shaft and have been
overwhelmed or The way, while others who
thought to get to the shaft by circuitous
route had still poorer chance of escape.
He had telegraphed that nothing must be
spared to get the men out and expected
that some time to-day passage would be
made over the water level to the fatal hole.
When they had once dumped that up they
could set their pumps to work.
''How long will it take to get to the i'm
prisoned menu"
1T may be thirty days if they do all
that can be DONE"
''Are there any other mines stopped on
on accu ut of this calamity"
eyes There are nine mines stopped
through it. The men may go to work in
a week or so, but expect there will be a
loss in output of 1900 tons at least. The
No. 2 mine, where the accident took place,
had an output of 800 tons per day."
''What about the families of the unfor-
tunate menu"
Well, nothing has been done yet. 1t is
rather soon to put that question. 1t is a
terrible affair, but we cannot fight the ele-
ments.
President Sweet of the coal company
states that an air shaft was placed by or
der Of the mining Inspector q considerable
distance further from the main shaft than
the company wished and he believes that
had it been where they intended
to have placed it, many more
would have escaped. Little progress has
yet been made in recoerving the bodies.
The water has ceased flowing in the mine
and pumps are hard at work. The num-
Der now known to be lost Is seventy-three.
The accident has widowed forty seven
women and made fifty three orphans.

husband and three sons, will prob

New YORK, Feb. 17.-At the opening
this morning stocks were fairly firm. An
early advance in Rock Island and Union
Pacific of per cent. caused better feel
ing all round, and it being the last day of
the week there was agood deal of evening
up among the shorts. This for time
gave the market an appearance of strength,
which lasted until the bank statement was
published, showing a loss in reserve of
s2,745,000, when prices dropped, and for a
time stocks became very dull. The demand
ceased, and there seemedeto be no orders
to buy from any quarter. Soon after ,
o'clock a decided weakness appeared
in the vanderbilts. Lake Shore
fell to 107, Michigan Central to 9115 and
the whole list presented rather feeble
front. Spectators for decline supplied
stocks freely, and the improvement for the
morning was quickly eliminated. The
outlook gives little hope for anything bet
ter next week. Louisville & Nashville sold
down from IS to 81 q in few moments.
There was some trading in Pullman at
121@121I. The declines during the last
half hour carried many properties lower
than they were at the close last evening
and the crumbling process still continues.
ST. Paul earnings during the second week
in February decreased $4,000.

same thing. The box contained the ele-
CANT silver cup, the principal prize award

Mr.. Fowler carried off against all other
