OHIO AND INDIANA.
Bright Democratic Prospects in Both
these States.


Special Telegram 10 the Globe
WASHINGTON, Sept IA prominent Ohio Re-
publican, who arrived here yesterday, says there
is no use trying to hide the fact that there is a
panic in Republican circles in Ohio, and that un-
less the panic settles down the state is sure to
90 Democratic in October. He says the thing
that is giving the Republicans of Ohio the great
est trouble is that the state committee has no
money to run the campaign and so far has been
unable to raise any. He says the actual truth
is that the committee has not enough
and other matter it sends to the county and
district committee. The leaders of the party
have been appealed TO, but have not yet con-
tributed anything. He says further that the
Republican press Of that state, headed by Murat
Halstead, have in the past eight years said more
severe things against Blaine than the Democratic
press. Under these circumstances, therefore
he says, the people do not regard The appeals
now made in the Republican papers in favor of
Blaine as in earnest, and that il this
feeling does not soon change it will
be all up with Blaine, for the
Republicans will remain from the polls. The
Republican collecting committee took in some
money last Saturday and had their hopes very
much raised by the promise OF more While
the members do not give figures it is estimated
that as much $500 was contributed
Representative Mattson, OF Indiana, is in the
city, and is very confident OF Democratic success
in Indiana, and thinks Cleveland win be elected.
He says the lowest Democratic estimate in Indi-
anais 10000 majority.

WHAT OF THE NlGHT7
VIM. Daniel, Prohibitionist Candidate
for Vice President, Expresses
the Opinion that Cleye-
land Will Win.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

Especial Telegram to the Globe.I
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Mr. VIM. Daniel, of Mary
land, e1-Gov st. Johns running mate on the
Prohibition presidential ticket arrived at the
Palmer house this morning in jaded condition
from across the mountains. He comes west on
stumping tour, and after filling engagements
Will return to Maryland. He says st. John puts
the temperance vote at one million, which he
thinks little high. In his opinion there is
very strong prohibition sentiment in the south
which is now latent but is capable of develop
ment.
Nr, Daniels was formerly Republican aud he
says the Republicans had the Prohibitonists
with them but dropped them
TO securethe Germans and now they
have lost both. 81 have travelled over the coun-
try to some extent, and am prepared to say
that the German detection from the Republican
ranks very greatly out-wcighs the Irish defec-
ton from the Democratic ranks. The Demo
Gratis took the attention of the Germans on the
Temperance vote. They concluded the German
vote was the greatest, and accepted that. All
well and good. They were welcome to choose,
but though the Prohibitionists may not this
year be able to poll as large vote as the Ger
mans, their future growth, il made with as much
rapidity as the past, will, in few years, exceed
the immigrants from Bismarcks dominion
As between Cleveland and Blaine he regards
Cleveland as much the strongest, though he
thinks the personal attacks have done some
damage, but says in comparing their public
record Cleveland is pre-eminently the man.

M. & ST. P. MANAGEMENT.
Mr.. Ripley's Probable Position and
Salary-Other Changes.
Especial Telegram to the Globe,

lPPtSi1i iSlcSTdln 10 OlOoe,
CHICAGO, Sept. lie. P. Ripley, general
freight agent of the Burlington, left yesterday
for Milwaukee on two-fold mission. The les
ser object Of the visit was to attend meeting of
the Rockford pool, but the more important was
to give an answer to the offer of the office of
assistant general manager of the st Paul
road. 1t is believed that he will
accept. The question of salary will enter into a
decision of the matter. He has been offered
$4,000 by the st. Paul people, which is So 200
more than he receives at the present The Bur-
lington will cover the st. Paul figure if he will
remain, but will not change his title. On the
St. Paul he would be virtusIsy general
manager, Mr.. Merrilrs poor health
uniting BIN from active service. Mr..
Ripley would supersede Roswell Miller as acting
manager, although the latter would be retained
with his present rank Mr.. Miller is lawyer
rather than railroad man and his duties would
be advisory rather than executive. 1t is said
that Mr.. Miller would have added to his title
that of third vice president
THE BURLINGTON VACANCY.
Should Mr.. Ripley leave, his successor will
probably be chosen from three officials who are
mentioned, Joseph F. Tucker, j. A. Grier and
Paul Martin. 1t is intimated that Mr.. Tucker
is considering more advantageous offer, so
that he would possibly not accept. Mr. Grier
has been approached regarding the matter, but
has not yet made answer. It is
not improbable that he may be inclined to favor
ably consider the proposition. He has proven so
valuable an attache of the Michigan Central that
strenuous efforts will be made TO retain him in
his present position. Mr.. Mortin is one Of the
most capable traffic men in Chicago, and
would fill the position well should Mr. Ripley
leave. lie has had ten years experience with
the burlington and for several years has ably
discharged the duties OF first assistant general
freight agent. The matter will be decided with
in very short time.

The Republican Committee a Failure.

1t is well known that President Garfield
selected his Cabinet at Mentor, previous to
bis departure for Washington From the
day OF the election up 10 this time everything
was lovely. Garfield and Conkling were as
happy as two clans. When twas announced
in the public prints that Blaine was to be
Secretary OF State Conkling and his friends
heightened. Blaine had antagonized him
all his life and was personally hostile A
second trip TO Mentor was resolved upon
and the Senator arrives at the modern
hecca in a terrific snow-storm.
This interview was short one He begs
that another name be submitted for Blaine,
but the request was denied him. The Pres
ident remained firm TO his original purpose,
at the same time reassurlrg the senator that
he would grant all his wishes in reference to
the New York appointments. This promise
was made In good faith by the President
elect, and when made nc intended to carry
1t out to the very letter; but IS the seouel
proved, there was "a power behind the
throne greater than the throne itself"
Blaine was the ruling spirit of the Cabinet
and Garfield yielded to his influence. Hence
the war that was waged among the leaders
oI Inc hepuDlcan party at Washin Cton.
Every intelligent man knows that the shoot
ting of the President was the anti-growth of
that war-a war inaugurated by the man
James &. Blaine. An uncalled for war, an
unnecessary war, gotten up entirely and
solely to crafty an unholy ambition of the
man now asking the people to elevate him
to the Presidency, repeat, therefore, what
l said at the commencement, that Blaine was
n IF
deadly enemy. The statements have Civ
en- of Blaine's secret history while in the
Cabinet are true and cannot be successfully
denied. Let the responsibility, therefore,
of the great crime of numbering the Presi-
dent rest where it rightfully belongs and let
the friends of the lamented Garfield reflect
and hesitate ere they cast their vote for
James G. Blaine.
