POLITICAL NOTES AND

| The Cleveland PLG5ndeGter says that
Cleveland and Hendricks are stronger in
Ohio than their party. Blaine and Logan
are much weaker than their party. Many
who voted the Republican ticket on Tues
day will vote for Cleveland in November.
This is true to still greater extent in
New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois, Wis
cousin, Michigan and Iowa. Ohio was
an absolute necessity to the Republicans
| to afford even an entrance into the No
vember race. 1t was not necessity to the
Democrats, and was never relied upon in
their calculations.
In his Brooklyn speech. Senator Bayard
said of Gov. Cleveland
s'As son and brother he has done has
duty.
AS citizen he has done his duty.
AS Sheriff he has done his duty.
AS Mayor of Buffalo he has done hi
duty.
AS Governor of the State OF New York
lie has done his duty.
And God willing, as President of the
United States. he will do his duty"
Buffers collusive candidacy will have
little effect upon the workingmen of the
North, now that it is very generally
known that he was put in the field to aid
the election of Blaine. Butler and Ma
hone are of the same school of polite :.
! Either can be bought again, as they have
been in the past, whenever their services
are wanted to do the dirty work of North
ern Radicals.
The Democrats of the 1st District say
that Mr.. Croxton will certainly be elected
from that District; that his majority over
Mayo will exceed 500. Do not let tn:s
hope cause you to relax your efforts. You
have a bitter. INSCRIPTIONS foe to fight.
Be prepared to meet him at every point
In 1880 workmen were told if Garfield
was elected wages would be increased.
Garfield was elected and thousands of
workmen are out of employment and get
no wages at all. OF 450 iron furnaces in
the country, $50 are out of blast; of H.
900 900 cotton spindles, 5000 900 are idle !;
wooden mills are stopped or running on
| half time.
At last the full vote of Ohio at the re-
cent election has been published, and it
affords the Republicans no ground for be-
ing sanguine concerning the result of the
vote to be taken there on the 4th prohimo :.
inasmuch as it shows that Robinson, the
head of their ticket, lacks 2 100 of a ma
jority of the votes cast. and that the aver
age majority of their candidates was only
900.
Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, distin-
gushed Republican of New York, and a
supporter of Blaine and Logan, in re-
cent speech said he knew Gov. Cleveland
personally. and that he was not only a
gentleman, but good A No. l lawyer !;
est man. He also bore testimony to the
| fact that Gov. Cleveland was fluent
speaker, fine conversationalist and an
attractive society man."
The President has appointed ex-Secre-
tary Hugh McCulloch to be Secretary
of the Treasury, and Secretary Walter Q.
Gresham to be Circuit Judge of the 18th
circuit, to succeed Judge Thos. Drum
mond, resigned.
There is a rumor current that the
threats of Blaine outrages in Indiana are
so open that the Democrats Of that State
have appealed to their friends in the East
| for arms with which to defend the free
dom of the ballot box next Tuesday, and
that their appeal has been granted.
Mr.. Wilkes, Democratic Congressman
from Ohio. says that in the twenty-four
wool growing counties of his state the
Democrats gained over four thousand
votes at the last election. This shows
that all the people want to make them
vote right on the tariff question is that
they shall understand it correctly. Mr..
Wilkins says he has letter from Mr..
| Cassidy, the member Of the House from
| Nevada, stating that he will be reelected
by large majority, and that the State
will 60 for. Cleveland. Senator Fair
has returned to the State and is taking an
active part in the campaign, and his in
| fiuence is immense. Mr.. Cassidy letter
says that California is safe for the Demo-
Gratis.
Gov. Cleveland, accompanied by his pri-
vate secretary, Col. Lamont, leaves to-
day for New Haven, Conn.,, returning to
| Albany tonight. He will review the
State parade at New Haven. Ga Saturday
morning he leave here for New York, for
the purpose of reviewing the parade of
| business men, returning to Albany, Sat-
urday. Gov. Cleveland will go to Albany
| to vote, and will return to the capital
Tuesday night, receiving the returns of
| the election at the Executive chamber.
The Democrats of Richmond have made
| several attemps to obtain from acting U.
s. Marshal, Ballard, list of Deputy
Marshals appointed by him for duty on
the day of election. This information he
has positively declined to give them, and
they have appealed to Judge Hughes for
an order directing the Marshal to give the
information desired. Mayor Darlington
will be asked by the Democrats to appoint
200 special policemen for duty on election
day.
The Indiana Democrats have given the
Republican leaders there to understand
| that they are determined to have a free
ballot and honest count, U. s. Marshals
to the contrary, and the Republicans,
seeing their determination, have agreed
that the election shall be fair, and that no
supervisors, marshals, or other U. s. or
State officers will be appointed by either
party. The Mayor and Magistrates are
to keep their offices open during the dag
for the administration of justice.
