congressional campaign committee, says ne
is certain the democrats are sending negro
democratic repeaters into West Virginia
and Ohio, ard that he knows the men Id
charge Of these repeaters. This, OF course,
is blind TO hide the republicans who are
doing the very thing that MIR. McPherson
attributes to the democrats, for no man al
all acquainted with negro character believes
that negroes will consent to be colonlzed
to vote any other than republican ticket.

his term, does not like to have his anticl

The greatinterest Senator Edmunds take
in the Blaine campaign is shown by the fact
that he has arrived here for the winter, and
has telegraphed for his clerk and special

ed for him 10 day, and the same old demi.

From Y )rih Carolina it is learned to day
that there, as in Virginia, no money has
been received from the national republican
committee, but that the Blaine reliance I'D
that State is on heavy assessments upon the
Office holders and upon the work OF the
deputy u S marshals, hut that should
these latter cut any capers, such as they
attempted al the last election, they will be
taught lesson that will deter them from
similar attempts i'll the future.
Letters received here this morning from
Mr.. German state that Governor Cleveland
will attend the grand meeting to be held in
Brooklyn on the 10th instant, at which all
the members of the national democratic
committee are expected to be present. He
advises that meetings in oil the towns aud
cities of the country be held at or about that
time, so that the acclaim for Cleveland and
Hendricks may be resonant throughout the
land. He says that New York and Indiana
are safe, and that Cleveland's election is
certain, but is sorry to say there is preva-
lent idea that Ohio will go democratic,
as there is only possibility it will so so.

The news here from Ohio to-day is worse
and more oft for the republicans, and con-
sequently they are, what the gamblers say
ratified" This condition is not confined,
but pervades all classes of them, from the
few cabinet ministers in the city down to

one of whom is chairman of the democratic
State committee, Sergeant-at-Arms Leedom
