= WHAT HIS PRESENCE HAS DONE.
1t is admitted on every hand that when
MIR. Elaine entered Ohio the State was lost
to the Republicans. His presence has
aroused the people and when the Repuby
licans Of Ohio are aroused they always
achieve a victory. The DEMOCRATS have
conducted very bitter campaign, thew
have resorted to every trick and Viii prac-
tee every fraud conceivable. Repcaters
nave been brought from the slums of the
great cities aud placed in various portions
Of the commonwealth. a large corrrp.
ton fund has been raised and distributed
IN every section Of the State and an order
has been issued that twenty votes must
Le purchased in each OF the I 800 town
ships OF the State. In spite OF all this. il
the Republicans do their duty and rally
to the polls, Ohio will place it's seal of
condemnation upon the Democratic par
ty. Every Indication and sign points to a
grand Republican victory. The canvass
made by the State Committee has been
Very thorough and the polls show hand
some majority. Mr.. Blaine has Leen alb.
sent from his home twenty-six days and
he has undergone enough fatigue to break
down most men. Heis in perfect health
and is the only man in the party who has
not had sick day since leaving home.
He goes to-morrow'to Michigan, where
he will spend a few days. He viii then
make a trip through Indiana, visit Hi.
nols and Wisconsin, and return Home by
way Of Now York. He. will be%nccom-
panied on the remainder, ,of his trip, as he
has been SINCE leaying-+ home, by Ills son,
