AM Independent Movement.

A rumor that an Independent Republi-
can ticket would soon be in the field
gained general circulation yesterday.
Those who seemed to be at the head of
the movement were disinclined to com-
municate particulars but promised inter
esting developments next week. What
with three desertions from the county
ticket and with an Independent ticket
still further weakening their forces the
Republican party seems, in the words of
Judge Carey, to need waking up Or
perhaps Colonel Downey's explanation
that the party is struggling for exist
ence' is a fair explanation of the situa-
ton AT any rate the men who carry
their sovereignty under their hats are
causing the Republicans nearly as
much trouble as n party can bear and
still retain its health.

New YORK, October Id mass
meeting of Prohibitionists who favor the
election of st. John and Daniels was held
at Chickering Hall. About 500 people
from Newburg, N. Y, attended the
meeting. When Ex-Governor St. John
entered the hall he was loudly applauded.
In his speech St. John denied that he had
entered into a conspiracy with the Demo-
cratic party. The Republican party had
been in power t~wenty-four years, and dur
ing that time had 50 carefully protected
the liquor dealers that the number of sa-
looms in this country had increased to IT'S
600. The liquor dealers could not remain
in business without permission from the
Government. There was a liquor saloon
in the Capitol at Washington, and there
was liquor enough in the White House to
start a dozen saloons. "Some people say
| wont be elected, ' said Mr.. st. John.
How do they know | WON'T If every
man votes as he prays | will be elected by
a large majority. But if l am not elected
a principle will be elected, and that is bet
ter than being President" After a brief
speech by John B Cough the meeting was
adjourned.

An Ohio Offset.

WHEELING, w. Va, October 17.-As
far as heard from t~wenty-eight counties in
this State give Democratic majorities of
l2,133, twenty-five counties give Republi-
can majorities of 9,277, making the
Democratic majority 1856, with four
counties to hear from, which may in
crease the Democratic majority by I ZOO.
The Democratic plurality in 1880 was
Il. l3G. and 300 over the Republicans
and Greenbackers. This year the Re
publicans and Greenbackers fused. 1t
appears, however, hat the Democratic
Greenbackers in most counties went back
to their party and the Republican Green
hackers did the same. The campaign
was virtually a square issue between the
Republicans and Democrats. The total
vote will surpass any in the history of the
State.

Gaorge William Curtis SAYS he will cor.

nominated, and Senator Warner Miller, Of
New York, has come out tor Blaine and
advises the anti-Arthur element in New
York to unite on him. He does not
believe there will be dead lock at the
Chicago convention, but thinks the contest
will be between Arthur and Blaine. In his
opinion there is no chance for dark horse,
for the backing Of the two leading candi-
dates will be SO solid that the friends of
Logan, Ed,nunds and the lesser candidates
will have to go to the support Of one or the
other of them. Blaine's star is apparently
in the ascendant and his supporters claim
that he is likely to be nominated at Chicago
with wild hurrah.
