Especial Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. s. 1884.
The republicans are sick to-day over the
reports from all parts of the country, but
especially from Ohio On the result in that
State they have mortgaged their whole es.
tate, money, offices and promises, and
should thew lose it, of which there is now,
to saw the least, strong probability, and
the fear of which has almost distracted
them, their whole campaign will collapse
and Cleveland be elected by default. On
the contrary, should they carry Ohio the
democrats will be no worse of than
thew are now, for they have never in.
cluded Ohio in their estimates OF
the States they will carry, and the cleo
toral vote of that State will be more than
offset by other Northern States about which
there is no doubt. The intelligence here
from Ohio this morning is that it vii
90 by from five TO eight thousand majority
for the democrats that the miners III the
Hooking Valley have been so wrought up
by Blane's denial of his interest IN those
mines, while his own letters, which have
been stereotyped and scattered broadcast
throughout that district, prove that he was
q large owner OF the stock of the company
owning them, that they have threatened TO
stone him if he shall come there; and that
the Blaineites are so in want OF voters That
they have imported large numbers OF re-
| peaIers from New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and this city, and lest they should
be discovered, have publicly notified the

there to watch democratic repeaters whom

A friend of Senator Edmunds, having
heard that he intended voting for Cleve.
land, wrote to him for authority to deny
the statement. The reply he received was,
ssI am not in politics this year, but hope the
g. o. D. may pull through" Not word
about Blaine, and no denial of the state
ment. 1t seems that the Blaneites are dis
appointed wherever they look for help. On
the contrary everything seems TO be work
ing in the interests Of the democrats.
Senator Logan having impressed upon
those now in charge of the executive de-
partmeuts here the urgent necessity for
increasing their efforts to carry Ohio, left
this morning for Philadelphia to urge the
projected rnonopoSts of that city to make
further contributions to the fund with which
his party is now engaged in buying votes in

ing from democratic editor in North Car
DINA says that the report about any demo:
cratic detection in that State is without the
slightest foundation that johnson, the
democratic candidate in the district now
represented by Mr.. Vance, who lost re.
nomination on account of his temperance
ideas, in which district the reported defec-
ton is said to be strongest, will be elected
by two thousand ma GRITTY; that the demo.
Gratis will gain one of the two present re-
publican members Of Congress from that
State, and that the reported democratic de-
lection in North Carolina was started and IS
kept up by scalawags in that State who
wish to get hold of republican campaign
money.
Congressman Phil. Thompson, of Ken
lucky, who is in the city, says the demo-
Gratis will gain both the congressional dis
tricts in his Safe now represented by re.
publicans He also says he is convinced
that both Indiana and New York are safe
for the democrats, but he cannot think that
Ohio will go Democratic. He says if the
democrats in New York City are wise they
will endorse the recently made Tammany
nominations.
Judge Cockelille, of Fairfax county, Vir-
gina, has been appointed to an easy and
lucrative hut temporary place in one of the
offices Of the government of the District OF
Columbia.
Mr.. J. B. Butler, ex appointment clerk of
the Treasury under the late Secretary
Folser, says Mr.. Folger attributed his de-
feat for Governor OF New York to the letter
written by Mr. Blaine to Dick Harrington, of
Delaware. In commenting on the letter
Mr.. Folger always regarded it as the pre-
cipitation of Blaine's canvass for the Presi-
dency of 1884, and expressed himself as
feeling that Blaine and his friends did not
propose to allow him to succeed in that cleo
ton because his success would either secure
the delegates of that State in the coming
convention for Arthur or make himself
the Presidential candidate of his party"
Mr.. Butler, as previously stated in this COR
respondence, says he intends to vote for
Cleveland, and that while he speaks for no
one except himself, he does not see how any
stalwart can do otherwise.
