COLUMBUS, O., October 0.-No Democrat
OF any responsibility who is on the inside
OF the manner OF conducting the present
campaign by the Democratic Executive
Committee can indorse the shameless
methods now being employed. The COM
mittee, as the hour for opening the polls
draws near, is becoming reckless and bra-
zen In It's movements. Secretary A. P.
Gorman, OF the Democratic National Com
mittce, Is in the State with number Of
disreputable henchmen, assisting the
State Committee in laying the wires for
the pcrpetration OF the grossest frauds on
Tuesday next. The New York and Balti-
more machine politicians, such as John
L. Fellows, Thomas and others, who have
the manipulation OF every known polit-
ical wire down to fine point from their
long experience in working the slums Of
those cities, are in the State working un-
der cover. y Hordes Of repeaters and ballot
box suffers have been imported by the
State Committee, and the work OF dis

TIRE mo COMMITTEES PROFICIENCY.
The Ohio Democratic Committee seems
to have attained Il proficiency in the black

from accomplished manipulators al

Constantine and company is kept up.
Roorbacks to be sprung on the eve OF elec-
tion, too late ior denial, are being pre-

ensnenditure OF money is the order OF the
day.
uoADLY's BUREAU.
The Governors office has been turned
into 4 ver!table campaign bureau OF false
hoods. Several Of the most reckless lie $
tina. have been disseminated have been
traced to that source. Even the Execu-
tive documents are not respected by the
unscrupulous politicians, but are carted
lown to the Democratic headquarters. and
in one instance, at least, ''mislad" when
the interests OF the Democracy can be
.uhserved thereby. One instance OF this
kind has come 10 light to-day and another
Democratic lie nailed. Several years ago
Charles Martin, 1 colored man, was MUIR
dercd at Bellefontaine by Albert Hoge, Il
white man,. Iloge was sent to the Peni-
tentiary, and after he had served a portion
OF his term was pardoned by Governor
Foster. Tasing this for cue the Demo.
Gratis have circulated among colorcd voters
the story that General J. S. Robinson, the
Republic IN candidate for Secretary OF
State. wis one OF those who signed the
petit IN for Hoge's pardon, and have at
temptcd to inhame the minds OF coiored
citizen against General Robinson on this
acc 1unt. General Robinson was in the
city to-day and his attention was called to
the matter. General Robinson said the
story is false from beginning to end and
that he gid not sign the petition. he
