New YORK, October 6-There was jubi.

gest diamond seizure Of many years had
been made. Stones and trinkets roughly
appraised at $4,000 had been taken from
Mr and Mrs. james Graves, who arrived
on Friday evening on the steamer America

ious unaccountable places about the incom
ing passengers, and the officials are unkind
enough to hint that Mr. and Mrs Graves
were trying to smuggle them ashore.
Careless and Gay.
Mr.. Graves was ight.hearrrd in look and

BLAINE AT PARKERS3URG.

A Howling, Disorderly Mob without
Order or Decency.
PAREERsBURG, September g. Exclusive
The train pulled out from Grafton at 2
o'clock. The meagre crowd at the depot
cheered as vigorously as possible under the
discouraging circumstances. Governor
Pierpont was left to spcakto the thin crowd
Blaine said his little piece to
handful Of people, without
enthusiasm at Bridgeport. At Clarksburg
$500 people were assembled and cheered
Justify as the train pulled in. Members Of
the West Virginia NJ. E. Conference in ses-
sion at Buckhannon, boarded the train at
this point and we're introduced Bishop
Walden. who presided at its session, &C.
ccmpanied the hipprodrome. Several other
ministers also went along Blaines speech
was an ampEfcation Of his former remarks.
Other stops
After leaving Clsrksburg stops were made
at Salem, West Union, Central Pennsboro,
Euenboro Corvallis Cairo, Petroleum and
Laurel Junction. At none Of these points
was there any enthusiasm. The regular
speech was relieved by appeals for the elec,
ton of Maxwell. Cheersfor Cleveland and
Hendricks were frequent and hearty.
A Disappointment.
The tn p was fast merging into a disap,
pointment when Parkersburg was reached.
The crowd here was large and enthusiastic.
Blaine was taken to the residence of Mr..
Moss, of the Parkersburg National Bank, in
a carriage drawn by four horses, followed
by yelling mob After supper torchlight
procession escorted Blaine to the Court
House, where platform had been erected,
and where John Campbell, of New Cumber-
land, and others were speaking. Blaine s
addre ess was short, and was mainly a repe,
tition Of the day rear platform speeches.
Shortly after Blaine took Especial for Mari
eta:
- An Incident,
One OF the local incidents of the day at
Parkersburg must have been humllating to
the Republicans. They were in debt for
rent on the rink. Before the procession the
creditors of the g. o. P attached the torches
of the local clubs. Then there was picnic
Everybody cussed, and the tears of sorrow
and disappointment would have been sutti-
cent TO quench the disastrous historical fire
at Troy, and thereby have saved
from bankruptcy sundry aud di-
vers oriental insurance companies.
BY dint Of desperate begging and hard
struggle, arrangements were made whereby
the torches and other paraphanalia we're
released in time for the parade.

crowd amused themselves by iuterrupting
Caldwell with such cries of Judas Iscariot,

The confusion during Blaine's speech was
so great that not half the people heard it

On Ohio-A Republican Majority Pre-
dicted.
New York, October 6.-The Sun pub
'iShes a special from Cincinnati which con-
aims the following:
Ohio is in many respects a peculiar
State. The heart Of the Buckeye Common
wealth is Democratic; the edges and Dor.
iers are Republican Draw circle Of
seventy-6ye miles radius, having Columbus
!or centre, and the Democratic majority
in this fertile agricultural region is 10000.
From Conuesut to Ssndusky, on Lake Erie
IS the Western Reserve. New England
colony, Republican by 10000. From
Youngstown down the Ohio River to Ports
mouth. a distance Of 800 miles, is the min
ing region. It is Republican by 10000.
There are this year $4,000 qualified
voters in the State Just half of these are
outandout Americans. Of the remainder
250.OO0 are Germans. either by birth or de
scent, 100. 900 Irish, $4,000 English, Welsh,
Scotch and Canadian, and the balance
Swiss French and Bohemian. Uf the latter
there are $500 voters. six-sevenths of them
in Cuvahoga county (Clevelsnd). The col
ored vote of Ohio is 22.T60.
What They Want.
This year the Republican State Commit
tee is working for, hoping for and claiming
5000 plurality for Gen Robinson, who
heads their State ticket. The Democrats
have nominated Newman, the present in
cumbent aud q popular man. They are
hoping and expecting that he will not be
beaten BY more than 5000 to 1000 votes.
But the present situation is this: Out
side of 3 very slight detection of
Germans, the Independent Re
pubHcans in Ohio do not number
$500.
In October, 1880, | made q canvass of
this State for Eastern parties, and after
touring through it from OHIO to the lake,
estimated the Republican majority at 90
900. When the votes were counted, it
turned out to be l9,005. Ny best impress
sion this year is that the Republicans will
carry the State in October BY $4,000, aud
that Blaine and Logan will have not less
than $4,000 plurality in November.
