TIMELY TOPICS.
What the Two Parties are DOing---ActiSity
contrasted With Apathy---Doings
Of the Ward and Gen.
eraI Clubs.

Only few days more than FIVE weeks
must elapse before the State election IN
October. Since the holding Of the national
conventions, time has glded along almost
imperceptibly, until we are on the verge OF
our local battle. Within the past week,
the proximity of the election has become
more apparent, especially among the Dem
oerats and there was not night that passed
unmarked by gathering or demonstra-
ton of some character. The Democrats
are on the alert. In every ward clubs have
been formed and are in the field ready for
the fray. Quite number of meetings have
been held by them and more are IN prepare
ton, and it is evident the Ohio county Dem
ocrats are up and doing. On the other
hand the course Of the Republicans has
been marked by an unusual apathy, esPe-
Gladly unusual for this locality, where they
are always so hopeful and buoyant. There
is nothing in the local outlook to cheer the
great Republican heart, or bloat- It's
great bosom with pride. Especially IS this
true in the lower end of towns, where busi-
ness is so dull and where the Germans are
the thickest A prominent Republican said
Yesterday That fool editorial in the In
ieligeneer of the day before the convention
has hurt US a good deal in the
Eighth ward especially. You see
he Inteligencer was dead sure fusion would
be beaten, so it pitched into the Greenback-
rs and called them blatherskites and other
let names. Our friend Burt and others in
he lower end happen to be Greenbackers,
and such language is not calculated to
;oothe them. There are local causes al
,ork down there that are against us, but
you'd rather not speak of them now.

The Democrats are very confidently pre-
licting the election of the entire ticket and
lain majority as high as 500 for Hand
an. One man told the writer there would
NO men on the ticket would go still higher.
Some Republicans are confident Of electing
Johnson, Elson ard Howell, but the Repub-
iican who has hopes for the entire ticket is
hard to find The Democrats are not dis
osed to regard the race as anything Of
walkoyer and are determined to remit no
fort until the last vote is cast. Their
ticket, even down to district Offices, is ex-
ceptionally strong and will commend itself
to the independent vote.
