DAYTON, o., Oct 21.-The Republicans In
this neck of the woods went to Indianapolis
this foreaoon with twelve ear loads of pur-
chased enthusiasts. The same was done at
Springfield. In glaring bills they announced
that an excursion would be run to Indianap-
oils to see the great Blaine demonstration
and that tickets would be sold at $1.2O for
the round trip. Seeing this would not pan
out the committee went down into their
pockets, and brought forth some of the pros
peetive stealings from the campaign fund,
to which the manufacturers subscribed lib
orally in addition, and with the money thus
raised the tickets were bought. The hand
lers OF the pasteboard, however, are trying to
bleed the boys for 81, but when they refuse
to pay give them ticket for nothing. except
the promise that they will go uniformed and
take part in the demonstration. Some are
given the additional assurance that there will
be plenty Of whisky to get drunk on, and If
this won't bring them the gold is jingled.

the same vote in November that we did last
Tuesday, victory is ours. Let the good work
go on, and let every man do his duty"
Hon. John G. Thompson addressed the
committee thus: ''Permit me to congratu-
late you upon your ringing address. 1t was
timely and to the point. Just what was
wanted and it will do great good.''
j. V. Welsh, of Akron, says: "The way
the Republicans conducted the campaign
here was shameful. They actually bulldozed
the laboring men. Our boys do not seem
discouraged. Our club feels like keeping up
the fght'
c. E. Mcbride, chairman, Mansfield, says:
''The Richland county Democrats are in the
rirg ready for as active fight as in Octo-
Der. Our organization remains as firm as a
rock. The committee assure me they will
work with increased vigor and that our vote
will not fall short of that of last
Tuesday. We are proud to be
among the counties giving Democratic gains,
but it was done by having the best organiza-
ton we ever had and by all the Democrats
pulling together
Clark Irvine, of Mount Vernon. saws
''We are all glad to learn that you are going
to try to carry Ohio for Cleveland. We will
promise you gain of at least $50 in Knox

proposition was made. Mr.. Colgan was Of
fered $50 a night to speak for Blaine during
he balance of the campaign. He was to re-
ceive, moreover, position in the interior
or treasury department, at salary not to be
less than 81 500, in the event of Republican
success. 1t was suggested that Mr. Colgan
could give some specious reason for repudi-
ating Cleveland. He might take some al
legged new Developments about the
freedom of worship bill or
could claim to have received
additional light on the veto of the Catholic
protectory appropriation.
Mr.. Co!gan scarcely knew what to make of
the affair, but in a gentlemanly manner de-
clined all overtures by saying that he had no
desire for position, but proposed to practice
law in Buffalo. Then O'Bren stated that he
had been authorized to make the proposition,
and that the position at Washington would
not interfere with Mr.. Colgan's law practice,
as he would only be compelled to work about
four hours day. An alternative offer
was made of $3.50 for single speech for
Blaine, to be delivered on a platform with
Hon. Richard Crowley at First ward meet
ing on Thursday night. Mr.. Colgan firmly
refused, and said he had taken the matter in
good part so far, but he wished to hear no
more. His demeanor manifested that he
meant what he said, and his visitors left
with the declaration that they would see him
tomorrow.
Upon being interviewed by your cores
pondent the Republican implicated claimed
that it was all joke. Mr.. Colgan
met the parties at noon to-day, and
personally confronted them with the charge
of having attempted to bribe. He asked
them if il was joke to call on a stranger at
that hour and offer him such inducements as
they had done. Mr.. Cutler made a rather
tame attempt to crawl out of it and repeated
his assertion that the disturbance at the
Eighth ward meeting was the occasion of the
visit.
'That's a falsehood.n said Mr.. Colgan,
'and you know it is falsehood.''
Cutler did not peep. The affair has Gre
ated decided sensation here.

Naughty Fort Wayne Democrats.


Fort WAYNE, Ind, Oct. 21.-The Demo-
crats, by their manifestations of zeal and en-
thusiasm last night, have injured to an un-
limited degree the sensibilities of the chief
curiosity of the travelling museum, Mr. Jas.
G.. Blaine. The magnetic man certainly
had some cause for being chagrined, because
the Democrats were not particular as to the
character of the sallies with which they greeted
him when he made his appearance on the
balcony of the Aveline house. Such ex-
pressions were freely made as: ''The Grand
King" ''The Tattooed Chief,'' Show about
Kentucky "Good evening, Mr.. Mulligan, ~
Little Rock and Fort Smith, +" interspersed
with round after round of cheers for Cleye-
land and Hendricks. The surroundings
were too unpleasant for Mr. Blaine, who was
hustled into hack and driven to the Library
hall, where he addressed large audience.
1t is not to be wondered, therefore.
that Mr.. Blaine was i'll at ease.
His reception was anything but pleasant,
and, to use the expression of an eminent
Chicago ward worker, ''gave him the heart
burn" All through the night the Demo-
cratic clubs paraded the streets of the CITY,
and it was well toward morning before quiet
was restored. Before leaving the city a
memberof the aggregation said he did not
think it was right ''that the Democrats had
howled Blaine down."

The Congressional Committees.
ISpecia. Telegram TO the Globe. /


WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The Repu blican
and Democratic congressional committee es
have got through with their work, but they
will keep their offices till after the general
election. The Democratic committee has
sent off 2,000,0 900 documents. Most of
these were speeches by Democratic con-
gressmen on land grants, frauds
in the public service and Republican wick
edness in general. Mr.. Posts reply to the
McPherson-Coon statement of official defalca-
tons was the only document sent out that
was part of the Congressional Record, but
the national committee sent out from New
York great many other documents. But
few tariff speeches were sent out
What they had were not called for much,
and were not distributed with other docu-
ments early in the ampaign. In closing out
Randall's, Hurd's and Yaples' tariff speeches
were the last got rid of. Morrison s
were sent to him in bulk to
be put to whatever use
he could find for them and the rest were
sent for distribution in Wisconsin and Iowa.
Mr.. William Dickson, of the Democratic
national committee, has just returned
from visit to New York. He says Kelly
told German in his presence that there
would not be more than 5 per cent of
the Tammany men who would not
vote for Cleveland: Speaking of the finan-
cial condition of the committee, he says
large amount of money has come in since
the Ohio and West Virginia elections and
the committee will suffer no financial en-
barrassment. But Washington, he says, has
been better in the way of
contributions to the Democratic
cause than any other section according to
its voting population, or rather what would
be its voting population if they could vote.
Their contributions, he says, have been about
$3.50 to every five persons, according to the
voting population. The business men of
the great cities of the north are contributing
freely, but none of the southern states have
given penny. They bear their own ex-
penses, however.

most of whom were brought there
by eastern Republican contractors to supplant
white labor at reduced wages. Two car
loads of thkm were taken east after dark on
election night. A dispatch from Fayette
county says that the fraud is the boldest ever
practiced in this state, and will result
in throwing out that precinct. This
is not in the interest of any
candidate, as the entire state ticket is elected

ceived to-day, elect the Democratic ticket by
an average majority of 5000. Wilson runs
slightly below these figures and Duffy for

Bright Prospects in New York.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Both parties have
began next to the last week of the campaign
with great vigor. There was no hurrah ves-
terday except in Wall street, where dem
onstration was made by Blaine men. The
real work has been done at the political
headquarters, and has been of the sort that
is not much reported in newspapers. The
situation is intensely interesting to both
! sides. The Democrats are especially en-
couraged by reports from all over
the country of disaffection in the
Blaine ranks, and of fresh charges against
Blaine which must ''knock him silly.'' as
the pugilists say. This dose is to come from
Boston. Then, too, it is felt that the Butler
movement has received its quietus through
the disclosure made with reference to an at
tempt to sell out the Maryland Green back
and labor men to the Republicans. There
were score of Democratic meetings in this
city and another score in Brooklyn, mostly
! in the wards. The last week
but one of the campaign will be
the liveliest of all probably for the Demo
Gratis, while the Republicans are to whoop it
up next week, with Blaine here as a chief at
traction. Beecher is to speak in Brooklyn
rink this week. He has done the Democratic
candidates much service, and is the life of
the meetings wherever he goes.
The most encouraging aspect of the cam
! paign to Democrats is the growth
of the Independent movement. It
| is plain that in New York and
in Brooklyn something like 80 per cent. of
the Republican movement will be diverted
from Blaine. The movement seems to be
| quite as general and sincere as when Cleve-
land defeated Folger two years ago. The
people have tried Cleveland and like him,
and those who then voted for him, having
no reason to regret that vote, will now vote
for him once more. All told, things look
very cheerful here for Cleveland

The Way it Looks in Iowa.

Speclal correspondence OF the Globe.
EMMETTsBeRG, Oct, 20.-The result in
Ohio does not seem to terrify the Democrats
of northern Iowa, while Kentucky's favorite
son. the great Carlisle on tariff, is sending
us many recruits from Republican ranks.
Mr.. Carlisle is an orator of the very highest
order, he speaks slow, clear and distinct,
and never deals in epithets. His trip across
the state is one continued ovation and au-
diences increase in size and enthusiasm az
he advances. From 5000 to $1,000 people
listen daily to his convincing and eloquent
denunciations Of the robber tariff laws.
The Democrats seem much more happily
situated in this years cam paign, than are the
Republicans. Democrats can get along and
elect their president this year without Ohio,
but the Republicans can not.
So far as Democrats were concerned, their
chief interest centered in the size of the ma
jority the Republicans might be able to get
in Ohio. If it fell short of the average Re-
publican majority in that state for the past
twentv-eight years, or below the majority
given Garfield four years ago, then Demo-
Gratis said it would be fair to suppose that the
Republican party is losing it's hold upon the
country.
As a matter Of interest, just at this time, I
give, following, the vote of Ohio on presidep-
tial years, October and November elections.

The Suicide OF Abner Bond.

To the Western Associated Press.
HILLsBoRo, Ill, Jan. 2.-There is great ex-
element here over the news of the suicide of
Abner Bond, near Taylorville last evening. He
was cousin of A. d. Bond, the father of Emma
man of large property and highly respected
He had taken deep interest in this case, and
his anxiety and worry over it is thought to be
the cause of the suicide. He leaves widow and
five children. He came from Bradford county,
O. The whole Bond family left here for Taylor
vile this morning
This makes the second suicide that has been
caused by the outrage. The first was that of
John Hill, a very respectable farmer of Christian
county, who committed suicide by hanging about
year ago because his daughter had threatened
to marry Lee Pettus, one of the defendants.
The counsel for the prosecution held an i'm
portant consultation tonight, in Judge Phillipss
office, in regard to the suicide of Mr.. Bond. The
affair is kept profound secret here.

chose the latter. His class took the case under
advisement, and unanimously requested the
faculty to permit Mr. Springer to deliver his
oration as he had prepared it. The faculty re-
