MURAT HALsTEAD telegraphs to the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette from New
York:
l have private letter from Ohio say
ing there is clearly a scheme prepared
with extreme care to turn the State over
TO the Democracy. There is said to be
an agent for the Democratic Committee
in each county to secure the names of all
purchasatle voters, and of Republicans
who have grievances. The agent also
makes special inquiry as to the voters of
the laboring mems organizations, and my
correspondent says the Democratic mana
gers have prepared to spring a money
fight, and have a deeply considered
scheme to buy the State. This is one
side of the story On the other side l
have assurances that the Democrats of
Ohio are poor-that there are no barrels
on tap for them; that they have greater
trouble than the Republicans in raising
money.
