"CAPITAL DOTS"

Inc elccuoNS OF OnlO ana w est II
ginia have been the topic for the past
week. Predictions as to the result i'll
Ohio up to the day Of election, OF thilty-
two, noted twenty-three, give IN average
plurality for the Republicans of l0,2GO.
and nine an average plurality for the
Democrats OF :. $.c0j. Mr.. G. Croncnberg
predicted 12,0OO Republican which is
the nearest to the official, ll.Z3l, Prof.
d. B. johnson. Capt. w. X. Bachman.
y. G. Gonzales, e.. NJ. McJunkin and
Capt. II. L. Thompson. each put the
plurality at 10000, the next nearest. This
is evidence of what was anticipated here.
Cur hope was to bring the plurality be-
low that of October 1880, (when ii was
l9.005) and if possible as low rs 5000,
which would have been Il substantial
victory for our party. The result. how
ever, is far from diScouraging, con-
sidering the odds we had to contend
with. The presence OF Blaine and Lo-
gan the unlimited use of Doodle :
Deputy Marshals the colonization OF
voters land the Federal otliceholders who
were sent into the State to do their dirty
work. makes their plurality dearly got.
The Democrats have organized for the
November fight in OhiO-arc determined
to carry the State or make the Repub-
licans spend another million. West
Vi 'E'''s Democratic majority will
reach .,000. The message sent You on
the 18th was the best estimate given on
that day as You will notice by cUmpari-
son. ..,....

Chairman BraytOM who is becoming
noted for his impudcnce has Just re-
turned from Washington where he has
been to receive orders. He tells his
hcnchmen and poor blinded colored
voters that their future salvation de-
pends on the election of Blaine and Lo-
gan and that they must elect the Re
publican Electoral Ticket. The cOlored
peCrle ought to know'by.thiS time that
if Blaine was elected it could dothem
no good. They have been told this for
ten years and yet every time Republic
can ticket is elected the white Radi-
Gals get more and more of the few Off
ces in the gift of the President. Bray
ton not being satisfied with the lot he
has around him has taken in McLane,
Elkins and their crew. to help him kick
ont the few colored men left.
