The revised version Of DORIS US public
statement, explains that the money used
in Indiana during the last presidential
campaign was employed to pay the ex-
penses OF local committees in every part
of the state, whose duty it was 10 make
thorough canvass of the section block
ell out for them. This explanation
seems to he reasonable, and it Is evident
that such plan for a campaign in state
like Indiana would absorb large
amount of money without setting
aside any part of it for the purchase of
votes. II this fails t. account for all
the money Invested in the Indiana cleo
ton by the Republican managers, the
funds necessary TO watch and head Off
the colonization of voters along the Ken
lucky and Illinois borders would ac-
count for the remainder The Demo
Gratis spent about 100000 t. carry In
diana for Hancock apd English, and the
use Of that money couBteracted any
advantage the Republicans otherwise
might have obtained from their large
expenditure. The one offset the other.
and Left the final result about as il
would have been if not dollar of out
SIDE money had been sent into the state.
A recent change in the constitution of
Indiana takes her out of the October
states" and puts her with the November
ones There VIII be nc more desperate
struggles u carry Indiana in October,

she is going 10 vote until the votes are

NEW York, Aug. 1.-The situation Of
the telegraphic strike is about the same.
There are rlmors Of an important move
ment soon to occur en- the part of the
strikers, but nothing can be learned re-
garding 1t. Business is apparently GO
ing on smoothly at the Western Union.
All the operators were paid off yester-
day and were at work this morning.
The strikers who desired money were
paid of by the Brotherhood to-day.
Word was received at police hea1quar-
teIs at noon that Il number of striking
telegraph operators and linemen had as
sembled up town and were preventing
the linemen from the department Of
corrections from climbing poles to repair
the wires. A force of police was sent 10
the scene early this morning. The po-
lice telegraph circuit running south from
headquarters refused 10 work when day
light came. Linemen who were sent
out by the department found that not far
from headquarters some one had climbed
a pole and put a piece of heavy wire
around 40 or SO wires that run through
that street but not touching them to-
gether. All the circuits thus disabled
had the Instructions removed

THE sIrUA TIoN IN ONO.

Il is conceded that the election in
Ohio this year will be prophetic of 1884
Every sensible Democratic political Oh
server has long since given up all
thought OF ii tidal wave such as gladden.
cd his heart last year Looking over
the field to-day ne sees marked change
in the fighting condition of the two
parties. Last year the Republican party
seemed to be everywhere hopelessly rent
by the spirit OF discord, while the De-
mocracy was harmonious and united.
Ohio is fair illustration OF the situa-
ton to-day There we fad the Democ-
racy divided into hostile factions,
which, however earnest may be the ef-
fort to conceal 1t, are ready 20 fly at each
others throats. Their seeming nearness
to the goal of their ambItIon-the Off
ces and spoils, has demorallzed the
party IL is striking example of a
party that makes spoilsslhc first and
principle a secondary consideration in
its struggle for supremacy.
On the other hand, the Republicans
are united, serene and aggressive. In
defeat as we'll as 10 victory they have
something substantial 10 which they can
clIug-principle in which the hope and
safety OF the people are crystalIzed.
The Republican party has taken al
vanced ground upon all living ques-
tions-ls still in the van, even upon all
the reform issues to the. advocacy of
which the Democracy pretended last
year to attribute their victory, Ia short,
more radical change in the situation
and condition of the two parties during
the past year could mt have taken
place The Democracy have seldom
CROPPED about in deeper gloom, and the
pathway into the future has rarely
seemed brighter to Republicans than it
