Ben Butler as Maud Muller.

From the Chicago News,
Ben Butler on summers day,
Stood in a convention making hay;
The hay was sweet and the hay was dry,
But it wasn't as cooked as old Ben's eye,
For old Ben saw on a gelding gay
Judge Nomination ride that way.
When Judge saw Ben in the hay at work
He stopped his horse with a sudden jerk,
And he rolled his eyes on the winsome
face
And the buxom form and the airy grace
And the wealth of cheek and the mesh
of hair
Of sweet Ben Butler a-working there.
'Oh, sighed the Judge, ''that the fate
were mine
To wed with q creature so divine
With Ben for a mate my life would seem
Like poets song or an artists dream;
But when they heard of my martial pick
How like a steer my folks would kick y
So, fearful of what his folks might say,
Judge Nomination rode away,
And left Ben Butler standing there
With her wealth of cheek and her mesh
of hair;
And of all sad words of tongue and pen
The saddest are these-''He wouldn't
have Ben"

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. - The headquarters
of both parties are practically deserted, the
workers having gone to their home counties
for the final struggle The only labor now
being performed here is the attention to
transportation of voters to their homes
Both committees have secured reduced rates
on nearly all railroads in the state. The
Democrats are most confident of the
result. Senator Murphy, of the
state committee, who has charge OF the poll
books and estimates this year, as he had last
has made his estimates on the head of the
ticket. Last year he estimated Hoadley's
majority by counties at l., 200, being on ly
300 out of the way. He now makes New
mans majority $500 The other Democrat
managers estimate it stil higher.
Secretary Donaldson. OF the Republican
committee, is not hopeful. He saws f.:
Things looked as bad for us in 1850 as
they do now, and yet we pulled through"
The significance of this is the admission
that things look bad now. The Republicans
admit they cannot make gains
in Cincinnati, and without gains
there their chances Of carrying
the state are not as good as their opponents
have made an estimate of my own bv
counties. Newman will be elected by about
$500 votes, Martin leading him for supreme
judge. The Republican candidate for mem
bcr Of the board OF public works may be
elected. OF course such close
margin in such a great aggregate
vote, and amid so many influences,
is not worthy of much reliance. But the
practicalities of the situation are such that
the Democrats have the better chance
should not be surprised If either side wins,
nor il the Democratic majority should be
more than 10000 On the other hand, I
cannot see how the Republicans can get more
than 1000 to 5000 for Robinson, if they
succeed in saving him at all.

ing strength. [Applause.l My assurances
from every section of Ohio are that the Dem
ocrats are galantly at work: There is a
warmth and earnestness in the enthusiasm
manifested, which 1 believe foretells the
victory which the Democratic party of Ohio
will enjoy next Tuesday. [Applause.l Gen
tlemen, 1 thank yon for your kind greeting,
and will introduce to you Senator Thomas
F. Bayard. [Applause.l
Senator Bayard stepped out upon the plat
form and was greeted with applause. He
bowed an acknowledgement of the compli-
ment paid him, and said that he had been
in Ohio but ten days, yet in that time he
had seen such manifestations of enthusiasm
by the Democracy as to convince him that
this state will go Democratic next Tuesday.
Gen. Rosecrans and Senator Pendleton were
also introduced and made brief speeches.
The train stopped but ten minutes. and as it
pulled out of the depot there was tremendous
cheering and waving of hats and handker-
chiefs. Mr.. Hendricks remained on the plat
form of his car until the train was out of the
depot and then withdrew.

Our Republican friends who opposed p the
election Of dr. Blaine say we do not desire to put
the Democratic party in power, therefore we will
not vote this year. They say Mr. Blaine ought
not to be president and yet concede that if he is
not elected some one must be. or all the candi-
dates beside him we have but one that stands
the slightest chance of success-Grover Cleye-
land. iCheers. Then if we wish TO defeat
Blaine is it not the most expeditions way to Sc
cure fit president to cast cur votes for Grover
Cleveland [Cheers. You say you cannot
trust the Democratic party. Can you trust the
Republican party with such corruption as Blaine
represents at it's head? If you are a true citizen
you must see that proper man is In the presi-
dental chair. Look at the Democratic party to-
day. Show me any essential difference between
it and the Republican party. Both include good
and bad men. Representative citizens such as
Col. Villas and Gen. Bragg nominated Grover
Cleveland. Steve Elkins and his crowd chose
Blaine to be the Republican standard bearer.
What better evidence do we desire than that the
best people OF the country desire the election Of
New York's reform governor. Great applause. |
Ex-Mayor Grace, Algernon S. Sullivan and
Others also made strong speeches.

show. King and his pal, Kennedy, actually
came into Toledo with the crowd of states
men, and during the half hour preceding
the arrival of the train in the Toledo
depot, King, Blaine and the Republican can
didate for congress from this district, earn
estly talked over the situation. At the
mass meeting King occupied seat on the
grand stand, where he was recognized by
numerous acquaintances residing in this
city. 1t is needless to say that he probably
improved every opportunity to borrow pock-
etbooks and watches, in which profession he
stands at the he ad of the list. King left the
city with the party, and told one man,
who knew him well, that he had
started with Blaine from Maine and would
deem it his duty to see the gentleman safely
home. 1t is merely another verifcation
of the old adage, politics makes strange bed.

The Result of Blaine's ohio Trip.
TSpeciai TELEGRAM IN the Globe

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 12.-Considering the
fact that We are on the eve of election, after
a most hot and bitter campaign, the city is
remarkably quiet. Quite number of lead
ing Republicans are here. Filley, Ogilvee,
Dudley, Foster, Donaldson, and numerous
lesser lights, but their headquarters are prac-
tically deserted. These gentlemen, ,one and all,
say that the state is close. They do not
claim a majority for their ticket, but con-
tent themselves with the expression that the
parties are about evenly matched. On the
other hand Chairman Barger expresses a
conviction that the Democrats will win, n 0
matter what steps the Republicans may take
to capture the state. He says ''it
is no longer a question as to
the actions of any particular
nationality, but hunt for the preference of
every individual vote. The opinion prevails
among the Democrat leaders that they have
the state to- day, and can only be defeated
by treachery or fragrant frauds.
Although numerous canvasses have been
made OF the state it is two large to be polled
that way, and not much reliance can be
placed on them. Gov. Hoadly says, in
most polite terms, that if there was
any question about the matter a week or two
ago, Blaine's second visit to Ohio has settled
it in favor of the Democracy. He says he
sees no reason why the Democrats will not
carry the state. Senator Frye said yesterday
that he had been all the time opposed to
Blaine's visiting Ohio, and many other
Republicans coincided with him in
this opinion. Blaine made his first
visit against the protest of some of his best
friends, and the second trip only convinced
them of the mistake of the first. At all
events the Democrats have profted by the
excursions, since they served to wake up
the lethargic members of the party, and
given rise to a most dogged, determined
resistance on the part Of the Democracy. The
visit Of Blaine to the Hooking valley
does not, according to advices received here
to-day, appear to have done the Repub-
licans the good they have fondly anticipated.
The miners in that particular section of the
state have for over seventy days been on a
strike, and 4, 600 voters among their number
are in the most Strengthened circumstances.
4 $40 bill on election day may change the
votes Of many of the starving men. The
mining districts are being well "salted'' with
campaign literature, showing Blaine's inter
est in some OF the corporations which have
ground the life out OF these people, and it is
hardly probable that his visit has been of
much avail. Directly and indirectly Blaine
has promised to citizens OF Ohio about two
thirds Of all the offices in the gift Of the gov
ernment in case Of his election.

Chairman Barger. of the Democratic COM

A number of persons went down the
Hooking Valley yesterday to see the strikers
give Blaine freezing reception. Thieves
and robbers are reaping a great harvest by
following in the wake of the show. Among
the attractions which Blaine met with
at Lancaster last night was
a huge tent with a painting on the outside of
tattooed man, ''as the greatest curiosity on
earth," and man yelling: ''Only ten cents
to see the punctured man." Another
feature was a large traction road engine,
drawing number Of wagons all
labeled Fort Smith & Little Rock

These counter attractions by the Democrats
have aroused great feeling, and the Repub-
licans are fairly goaded to desperation in
handling their last legitimate resort.
The Republicans are still gathering in
small bets, but offer no odds, and say moth
