AFTER OHIO.

The Republican Hurrah in This state
Merely Diversion to Hide the Urgent
Necessity of Quick and Heroic Measures
to Save the Buckeye State.
CINCINNATI, August 6.-The Enquirer of
this morning published the following:
WASHINGTON, August 5.-The Republican
CRY that West Virginia will be carried for
the Blaine and Logan electors is believed
10 have behind it, not the hope that the
State can be carried, but to create a diver
sion, so that in keeping the Democratic eye
on West Virginia the greater State of Ohio
will be lost sight Of These States are
both October States and elect members Of
Congress on the 18th Of October next. In
view of the distractions arising out of the
sumptuary legislation BY the Republican
Legislature reports have been made to the
National Republican Committee in New
York that Ohio is not at ali safely ISSUED
TO the Republican candidates, and to secure
its vote, not only in October, but in Novem-
Der as well, it will require superhuman
effort.
West Virginia being an avowed Demo
cratic State. il would follow naturally that
but little attention would be directed to it,
and that its canvass would be taken care OF
by local State talent. The Republicans feel
that if Ohio is ho;ly contested it will require
large expenditure of the "vitals' ofa cam
paign to hold it in line, and owing to
depleted exehequer, it is the aim Of the
party managers to save as much OF the
sinews of war as possible for the oattle IN
November. For this reason they are
making demonstration in West Virginia.
The hone is that the Democratic managers,
seized with fear, Will exhaust their resources
in holding a State which belongs to them
by right, and meanwhile neglect the better
chance of carrying Ohio.
shrewd Republicans.
Ina sense The shrewd Republican mana
ssrs have succeeded in getting up Demo
crat;c scare and il looks little now as if
the Democratic fly was about to enter the
Republican cobweb. The National Demo
cratic Committee has considered with some
seriousness the Republican boast touching
West Virginia, and has selected Senator
German. one of the shrewdest campalgners,
to take especial charge Of the West Virginia
canvass German knows the ground WELL
and has already gone to work. In very
brief space of time the Democratic line OF
battle viii be formed in the State under his
adrOit management There is scarcely
dopbt that West Virginia is largely Demo
cratic and will so vote. II, however, the
Democratic leaders neglect Ohio while they
have their eyes on West Virginia, the Re
pubEcan hurrah that they can carry the
State win have succeeded in the very object
for which the cry has been raised; Ii IS

elusive. The prohibition people in this
portion of the Safe are much agitated over
the position Of both of the old political
parties towards their cold water cause.
Having been refused recognition in the
Democratic Convention and severely
"snubbed" in the Republican Convention,
the temperanceites are in quandry as to
what action to take in the. coming cam
paign. Much corrcsnondence
Among the Leaders
of the cause is going on as to the propriety
of holding State Convention and placing
q straightout State and electoral ticket in
the field Recognizing the aggression of
their national brethren they are bold and
determined. Some of the more weak
kneed who are under the influence of Boss
Atkinson and his immediate henchman
are strongly protesting against a conven-
tion,. but if it is held they will
make determined effort to carry it Tor
musty Maxwell and his crew. However,
the official action of the Prohibition party
in this State will soon be determined upon
and thenwe shall see what we shall see.
The Daily Times, Independent Republican,
printed in this city, says:
ut was fully expected BY the Prohibition
lists of this State that the Republican Con-
vention at Parkersburg would endorse their
right to be heard upon their petition for the
submission of an amendment to the consti-
ton.
Having been
Turned Away Empty
by both parties, however, they have but one
way left by which to secure public con-
sideration of their claims at the ballot
box; and that is by the nomination Of
candidates fo- State offices. For them
there is no other hopeful avenue to the
point of popular Endorsement; and, since
the leaders Of the movement have been
brought, BY the premeditated and unrelent-
ing opposition Of both the old parties to
their cause, to realize this fact, il may not
be going too far to say that third ticket
will yet be presented for the sufragcs Of
West Virginia Voters.
''As above remarked, it is not at all i'm
probable now that the Prohibitionisss will
nominate ticket. That is what soma Of
the wise ones among them say. BY the in
dorsement of their right to petition the
Legislature the Republican party would
have prevented such turn of affairs.

How Mark Twains New Book Was Spoiled by
an Engraver.
Hartford Conn Special.

Hartford Comm Special.
Mark Twain of this city, is the publisher of
work entitled "Huckleberry Finn, humorous
production intended as a sequel to Tom
Sawyer" OF the merits Of the latter book opin-
ions differ. Mark. Twain gave the finishing
touches to his new work in March last, just
previous to the time that George w. Cable
perpetfated his Apri-foolS' day Joke on him. He
offered his work to several publishers, but no
contract closed with any of them. During
the summer months Twain became involved in
politics, but did not relinquish his zeal to have
the work published This fall Mark Twain
Publishing Company of this city, which com
pany has heretofore published all his works.
1t is said that he demanded sixty per cent of
the profits and that they would not allow him
over 30 per cent. He left in a huff, and looked
for publisher in other directions. Recollectng
that he had relative, named Charles L. Web
ster, at 65S Broadway, New York, who was in
the business, he correspondent with him, and, as
q result sent him the manuscript of "Huckle
berry Finn" They were to share the profits.
Webster was elared with his success, and imme
diatey had the book put in type and plates
made for printing it.
One of Twain's hobbies has been to have his
works profusely illustrated and deeming that
'Huckleberry Finn" would not be successful
without some humorous pictures, he had an art
list make several sketches and they were for
warded to New York Webster sent them to
we'll known engraver, who, in turn. gave them
to subordinate to make. One of the
pictures represents man sitting on
box his head bowed in his
hands, and his elbows resting on
his knees, which are wide apart. Before him.
with broad grin on his face is q street urchin,
while behind him, with her face partly turned
away, is young woman. The picture is entitled
in Dilemma" The illustration was perfectly
innocent, as was intended but the engrsver, by
few pushes of his graver, made it one of the
most indecent pictures imaginable. In time the
books were printed, over 5000 being issued, and
agents scattered all over the coE><ry, found a
ready sale for them All this time no one noticed
have been struck of. had not firm in Chicago
discovered the indency of the picture and notified
the publishers. About $500 of the books had
been sold. The publishers tore out the objec-
tionable leaf and it is now said Twain and Web
ster will begin suit for heavy damages against

1T is to be greatly regretted that the famous
Cincinnati firm of A. e. Burkhardt & Co., who
have heretofore favored our city with an annual
opening, will not be able this year, to give here
their carnival of fashion. The members of this
house confidently anticipated bringing some of
their choicest and most novel goods to meet the
growing demands for them which their previous
appearances here had created but as the time of
their coming drew near it was found impossible
to meet their business engagements anywhere
outside of their establishment in Cincinnati.
During five weeks past, so rapidly has business
grown so constant has been the accumulation
of orders in their work rooms, that to draw any
of the force of assistants away from Cincinnati
would be to deprive the house Of these who are
necessary at home. Buff we are net to have an

natl Fur and Cloak Emporium, we.e&n promise
our lady readers that the enterprising members
of the firm have not forgotten them, and are
