An Infamous Republican Outrage

From the Washington Post.
BY what right or authority did the Republi-
can National Committee send pistols and car
tridges to Cincinnati TO arm the deputy mar
shals? What pretext can be set up under
which such an act can possibly be justified
A campaign committee has no official stand
ing at all, and has no more control over the
deputy marshals, under the law, than IL base
ball club or an aquatic association has.
The country has become accustomed to
Republican outrages Oh the rights of citizens,
but this goes beyond any precedent. A thou
sand bull dog pistols and a full supply OF
ammunition were sent into the city of Cincin-
natl; the deputy marshals were armed, and,
when the cartridges were handed out, wera
ordered to use them. There is not COM
munity in the United States that would not
resent such an outrage. 1t is worse than the
sending of regular troops to surround the
ballot box with bayonets, for regular soldiers
are disciplined and far less likely to commit
murder than the gangs of roughs usually Sc
lected for deputy marshals.
A party whose official agents are capable
of such an outrage has lived too long. And if
the people of this country do not hurl such a
party out of power, they will deserve to be
tyrannized over by ruffians armed with ''bull
dog pistols and instructed to carry elections,

New York for Cleveland.
From the Nele York World.

From the NeW York World.
No one can fail to recognize, even if unwill-
ing to admit the fact, that Mr.. Cleveland $
prospects, have greatly improved in this State
within the last two or three weeks and that
he is growing stronger and stronger with the
people every day. The Wall street meeting,
the great Democratic demonstration on the
evening of the same day, the steady decline
of the Butler farce, the evident futility of all
attempts to turn any number of Democrats
fFOm the;F fidelity to the principles in which
they have been trained, are al gratifying
and unmistakable indications that New York $
electoral vote will as assuredly be on the side
of Cleveland and Reform in 1884 as it was on
the side of Tilden and Reform in 1876.
As the Democratic cause advances in this
State the Republican cause recedes. There
is no enthusiasm, scarcely any hfe, in the Re-
publican canvass The Stalwarts are not
disposed to help to power the men who have
striven to drive them from power. The hon
est portion of the party, hestating long be-
tween fealty to their old organization and the
promptings of conscience, are gradually TURN
ing towards Grover Cleveland. Principle is
tbrusting politics into the background,
Grover Cleveland will carry the State of
New York by good round majority without
the vote of this city, and the Indications now
are that his majority in the city will not dis
credit the stronghold of the Democracy OF
the State.

The Cleveland column is steadily and rap
idly growing in New York. The business
men-Republicans as well as Democrats
held monster meeting on Wednesday night
Gov. Cleveland was in the city, and by invi-
tation attended the meeting. His appearance
was the occasion of the widest enthusiasm,
which lasted for some minutes. The Gov
ernor made short speech. Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher was also present, and he and
a list of able men made speeches also. On
Thursday grand mass meeting and barbecue
was held at Ridgewood Park, Brooklyn, and
Gov. Cleveland was given another grand re-
cepton, thousands of Republicans joining in
honoring the honest candidate who regards
public Office as public trust Business
houses and private residences were profusely
decorated, and to the shouts of the multitude
as the Governor was being escorted to the
meeting were added the sound of hundreds
of bells and steamboat whistles. The Demo
Gratis and Independent Republicans of New
York have determined to turn the rascals out.

The Republicans surrounded the polls in
Ohio with armed Deputy United States Mar
shals, some of whom we're negroes. One OF
the first acts of these Marshals was the killing
of a Democratic 'nigger." Republicans will
doubtless undertake to play the Marshal bust
ness in ether states, but Democrats should
meet them with armed men. They are sim
ply Republican hirehags, paid by the govern
ment, to intimidate Democrats, and they
should be regarded as enemies of popular
government and should be so treated when
ever they violate the laws by interfering with
the right of suffrage.

In BRIEF the result of Tuesdays political
battle is very encouraging to the Cleveland
hosts. In Ohio the Democrats have very
materially lessened the Republican majority,
cutting it down from 1905 in October, 1880,
to about 10000, and in West Virginia they
have increased their own majority by FIVE or

What is Thought OF 1t in Baltimore
From the SIM Of yesterday :

From the Sun Of yesterday:
The cutting down of the Republican major
ity In Ohio from the first estimates made the
Democrats happy yesterday, and their great
West Virginia triumph, about which the figures
were assured, made them enthusiastic. The
State headquarters were thronged with good
humored people, and the Democrats congrat-
ulated each other with ardor.
The Republicans condemned in unmeasured
terms the authors of the premature dispatches
which made the Ohio majority %, 600 to &c.
900, with a promise that it would doubtless
reach 10000. Altogether the Republicans
were not as jubilant as they had been, and
most of them were ready to admit that the
October elections have established nothing be-
yond the fact that the presidential battle must
be fought out in November.
