After Talk.


Everybody makes mention of the way
in which the Cannady Republicans, indeed
all the straightOut were smothered. The
Republicans frequently say that there is
no freedom Of opinion in North Carolina.
There seems to be little in their party. Mr.,
Cannady and Mr. Gambler and Mr. Lawson
can all bear testimony.
Mr.. NJ T. Leach says: '"The Demo-
Gratis needn't be at all alarmed. We
can beat that ticket with most anybody
we might name. I think the ''reve-
nuers" have over estimated Mr.. 1Ork's
strength, and while they may succeed
in uniting their factions the people will
not be slow in apprehending their little
game and it won't work"
Capt. w. S. Harris says: 81 don't
consider it such a strong ticket. DR..
York's record in the Legislature will
come in direct conflict with the leading
plak in their PLATFORM and with Coke
to handle him there is not much proba-
bility that the Doctor will remove from
his mountain home to the new Cover
| nOr'S mansion.
Maj. E. J. Hardin says: cit looks to
me like a very weak ticket, though DR..
Mott is considered a smart, shrewd ruler
and he seems to think York a strong
| canOlOaCe ana naO MIN nominated. he
must be relying on some strong point
we know not Of The other leaders
seem to think with Mott, but al the
combinations in the country couldn't
beat the Democrats this year.
Col. L. l.. Polk says: Probably it is
as good as they could have done though
| see no reason why it should be con
sidered strong ticket. Lots of old-line
Republicans will refuse to support York,
and will become perfectly Indifferent.
doubt whether they will be able to
muster their own forces much less
arouse any enthusiasm among what
might be termed an independent ele-
| ment.'
Mr. J. j. Litchford Secretary of the
! Democratic Executive Committee, says
Il was anxious for them to nominate
York but was fearful they wouldn't dc
it. If Russell had been nominated for
Governor he would have polled 5000
more votes than York will. The people
| wont stand York's record on the Western
| North Carolina Railroad. l consider
Mr.. Duke the strongest man on the
ticket, and Judge Russell has more
ability by far than any of them. The
| Democrats can and viii easily defeat
| them.

Hendricks Popularity.
Especial Telegram to he Globe.


CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Geo. W. Julian, of
Indiana, the silver-tongued Democratic or
ator of that state, passed tn ough Chicago
this morning on his way to Wisconsin to
spend two weeks in that state making
speeches. He called at Democratic state
headquarters, where he gave an account Of
the situation in Indiana. He said that Com
missioner Dudley had been called there by
the Republicans, aDd he would take all the
machinery with which Ohio was carried into
that state. The local Republican managers
would be superseded by men of wider exper-
ience, and great amount OF money was to
he expended in making the state Republican.
The bulk of this sum was to be used to buy
up votes at the polls. A considerable sum
also was to be utilized to give Democrats
employment on the day OF election and keep
them from voting.
"Will these methods be successful in car
rying Indiana for the Republicans" Mr.
Julian was asked.
''No, notwithstanding Dudley is second
only to Dorsey as corruptionist and pur-
chaser of votes, the Democrats will carry In
diana, by majority ranging from 5000 to
$4,000. The Democrats are fully alive to the
Republican methods and are meeting them,
but not after the manner of those who fight
the devil with fire. Hendricks popularity
is immense. He carries with him train of
enthusiasm wherever he goes. lie is the
key to the situation in Indiana. There is no
question at all as to Democratic success in
the state.''

Special Pension Agents worA.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-By the middle Of
the week the army of pension agents who
have done service in Ohio viii have been
moved in Indiana. The tactics of these
men, so advantageously employed in Ohio,
are to be repeated In each school district
an agent is assigned, whose special
duty is TO hunt up Democratic
applicants for pensions, and promise
such if they vote the Republican ticket. Their
application will be advanced out Of its regu-
lar order and oe speedily adjudicated. A full
list of the Indiana applicants has already
been prepared by the pension bureau in lis
city, and has been forwarded 20 the chief of
the special examination division. This officer
is now supposed TO have moved from Gin
cinnau to indianapolis, but this is is small
part of the desperate programme 10 steal
Indiana as was Ohio. All the cities in the
state having over 20. 600 inhabitants are to
be overrun with deputy United States mar
shals to be imported from Kentucky The
men chosen for this duty will be despera-
does. They viii be armed to the teeth with
bull revolvers and razors and be specially
directed TO use their weapons It is nov
apparent that the Republican plan
of campaign is to introduce the
shotgun policy of the south into the northern
states. The Republican managers fully real
ize the desperation Of their cause If left to an
honest verdict. and. fearful as they well NAV
be of fair ballot and free count, propose
to steal the election, not by the machinery
of an electoral commission, but rather by in
limitation, violence and bioodshed. 1t is
now generally believed by the Republican
managers that Ohio is safely lodged in the
Republican column, the calculation being
that Blaine is s, 900 or 10. 600 votes strongerin
the state than was Robinson. The hope is
that the Ohio Democrats viii, under the dis
couraging influence Of recent defeat, give up
the state. This will enable the entire army
OF Republican henchmen and retainers to
assail and debauch Indiana This purpose
of the enemy should be sufficient
incentive 10 the Democrats to
keep up the fight. In Novembch
next the army Of the United States marshals
cannot be used in Ohio. The Republicans
reslize full well that contest IN Ohio stub
boruly msde leaves the state open to grave
doubts as to the verdict The recent So
called Republican victory is not inspiring
enough to settle ohio's vote two weeks hence.

Parsons Certificate of Character.
rSnerial Telerrarn To the Clohn

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct 20.-The exposure
made by Gen. VIM. II. Parsons, of this city,
of the coiusion between Butler and Blaine,
and the weak denial of that gentleman's
charges by Butler, has created quite stir
in political circles here. Gen. Parsons is
well known and highly esteemed in Balti-
more. He is chairman Of the Butler COM
mittee for Maryland. He was for some time
a resident of Texas. He led a
Texas brigade in the Confederate army,
served from 1869 to 1871 as member Of the
state senate, was appointed by Gen. Grant
as commissioner of immigration from that
state and was Texas commissioner to the
centennial exposition in Philadelphia. 1t is
the impression of the Greenbackers in Balt-
more that Gen. Parsons exposure will lose
Butler thousands Of votes in New York and
further evidences are limited at. The feeling
of indignation among the Baltimore labor
ing men at Buffers treachery is very intense.
The scheme here has been largely backed by
Republicans. The Day editorially says to-
day:
THE story of the base deception and
damning perjury Of BENZ. T. Butler is the
most shocking feature of this already re-
markable presidential canvass. Butler has
denied that he was engaged in this nefarious
scheme to deceive and sell out the laboring
men of the United States, but his denial has
not the manliness of a disclaimer and is
largely devoted to abuse Of the gentleman
who has had the great courage to standup and
denounce the disgusting hypocrite and dem
agogue who has shamelessly entered into a
compact to betray the workingmen of the
United States and to assist in putting into
office man whose dishonesty is notorious
and whose position toward all men who live
by the sweat of their brow entities him
to the burning contempt of laborers
everywhere. This caps the climax of politi-
cal rasca!ity. A baser conspiracy, and con-
spiracy it is, never existed. 1t is designed
to elect Blaine by deceit and device, by fraud
and false pretenses, and the scheme should
receive denunciation at the hands of all
honest and decent men,"

Logan al Duhuque.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct. 2O.-Gen. John A. Lo-
gan arrived here from Chicago shortly after
noon. The reception committe met him at
Galena and escorted him TO this city. His
arrival was greeted with roar of cannon,
band music, marching clubs and a large
cOncourse of people. The city is profusely
decorated. Gen. Logan was escorted from
the train TO the Loriner house, where he was
followed by large crowd, to whom he bowed
his Acknowledgements from the portco
Every one was anxious TO shake hands with
the disting guished visitor, and he,

His objection to voting the Republican ticket
is solely on account of Blaine's unftness for
the presidency. The independent movement
in this region is evidently growing, and its
proportions will be large by election day.
Reports from Putler's trip through this
state shows that he is not meeting with the
success that he expected. Curious crowds
come to hear him and 90 away pleased with
his plain talk and satisfied with having seen
a man who is so noted, but when they come
to gathering up the fruit even his followers
have to confess he is not there, 1t would
not be strange if we should hear of Butler
pulling out of the campaign before election
day.
There are great many sore heads among
the regular Republicans in Albany and New
York, for the reason that they were led to be-
lieye the first boasts of the state and national
committees and to bet that Ohio had given
10000 Republican majority. OF course they
lost, and they are now bitterly denouneing
their leaders. Some of those who were
duped are among the best workers OF the Re-
publican party in the state.

HIaino's NInremenfs-

ELKHART, Ind, Oct. 20.-Mr. Blaine left
South Bend this morning at 10 o'clock upon
a special train in charge of General Williams.
of Lafayette, John c. New and a number Of
Indiana speakers were also on the train.
The plan was 10 drop one speaker at each
place where the train stopped, so as TO have
an orator address the crowd after Mr.. Blaine
had LEFT. At Elkhart, the first stop, there
was crowd of 5000 people. Mr. Blaine
left the train and ascended stand. He ad-
dressed his remarks entirely to the tariff is
sue. Hc said that there the Democratic party
had SURRENDERED its authority Indiana was
at one time very uuimportant on the lists of
the states, but last year its industrial pro-
products reached the enormous SUN Of $780,
GEO. 600. He wanted To ask any fair or can
did man, be he Democrat or Repnblic
whether that great prosperity could have
been reached without protective tariff. The
two parties were divided upon that issue.
Be careful in your judgment as freemen up
or the 4th of next November, said Mr.
Blaine IS he bid Elkhart good bye.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Oct. 29.-At about
2:30 the train arrived at Fort Wayne There
was large crowd at the depot, and all along
the route to the Ayeline house, 10 which Mr.
Blaine was driven. The streets in front of
the hotel, and the court house square oppo-
site, and sll the adjacent streets we're flied
with dense mass OF humanity. When Mr.
Blaine appeared on the balcony he was
loudly cheered. But from one portion Of the
crowd, including number OF men wearing
tall white hats. there came cheers for Cieve-
land, and when Mr.. Blaine attempted to
speak be was interrupted by shouts and wells
aud cheers for Cleveland, coming from the
same quarter. He therefore Cecliued TO
speak from the balcony, and re-entering the
hotel he left It again by the side door, and in
company with Chairman New and Hon. VIM.
Mckinley, of Ohio, was driven Up Calhoun
street 10 point opposite Library hall. The
great body of the crowd followed him, and
here, standing upon the drivers seat, he
made his speech Is follows:
Citizens of Indiana: The October cleo
lions in Ohio and West Virginia have uut

they have reproduced the old phase. The
Democratic party, as of old, consider now
that they have the solid south again. They be-

votes from the sixteen southern states. ard
then they expect or they hope, or they
dreau, that they mSy secure New York and

Ohio Not Given Up.


COLUMBUS, Oct. 20.-The Democratic state
committee is hard at work on the presiden-
ial canvass. They are in no manner dis
couraged over the October result, and pro-
pose to wheel OHIO in line for November
They are getting the most enthusiastic
and cheerful responses from all the counties
OF the state. who say ''We are with you,"
keep up the fight, ''Give it to them,"
"We will beat them next month" Sup and
at 'em, y ''Sound the bugle blast, ;" ''We are
falling in" and the like Tue Republicans
have no such victory as to give them an ad-
vantage two weeks from Tuesday next. They
had strained themselves, and were already
suffering from the reaction. Dudley, Filley,
Plumb and others will not be
here. It was Filley who had charge
| of the United States marshals and Dudley of
pension and post Office organizations. The
grand array of officers will be scattered i'll
November, and Chairman Oglevee, with his
| committee, viii be left to play lone hand.
The result shows that there is no such
thing as coalition in Ohio. The Prohibition
lists polled $500 votes for Morris last Tues
day and say that they will more than double
it for St. John. The Green hackers
polled about 1000 votes for
Herald, and say they viii make it
formidable vote for Butler. With this
state of affairs, and the Republicans able to
get only plurality in October, there is a big
fight on hand for Ohio in November.
1t seems that addresses from
the state and county committees
are the order of the day, but active work is
wha tcounts. The Democrats are proceeding
to revise tleir polls 2 d re anvass the state.
There will be very important
conference in this city next Wednesday
to which it is expected that every officer and
member OF both state central and executive
committees will be present, and the chair
men and members OF all the county COM
mittees in the state. The plans of the cam
paign work for the succeeding two weeks
will be laid out for uniformity of action and
cooperation in all parts of the state, and with
a view to overcome the assaults of last week.
The Republicans will be held at bay in the
cities, in all of which they got in their work
last week.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Congressman
Foran is here and shows a noble determine
ton to keeb stiff upper lip. Being asked

''We may carry the state AS it stands
now the Republicans are a minority party

it,, and not majority, and many Republi-
cans will not vote for Blaine. The United
States marshals will probably not be allowed

events the fight will be a hot one. There
will be no let up on our part. If we don't

Representative Gibson, Democrat, Of West
Virginia, Processes entire satisfaction with
the election in his state last week. He tells
curious story about what was published
recently as the Springer report of the inves-
LEGATIONS into the department of justice. 1t
will be remembered that the Republicans
claimed when that report was published that
Mr.. Springer had put it out without authority
from his committee 10 make Democratic
political capital. Mr.. Gibson says:
~ see that numerous papers have been
imposed upon by 4 report purporting to
emanate from the Springer committee vim
dicating the United States marshals of West
Virginia. That report was a fraud and was
never even seen by the Springer committee.
1t was made up by Ballin and q clerk in the
department of justice, and was taken to
Springer, who refused to have anything to do
with it. The last action on the subject by
the committee was to ask for committee to
investigate the marshals OF our state. It
seems that the department of justice had a
report printed, aud it has been sent out as
the action of the Springer committee"
