One to -Four Millions of Radical Soap
The Paige-McKinley Fight.
CoLrxBrs, October r. Exclusive. =
II is generally understood that the Repub-
Hcan State Committee rooms contained more
actual cash lsat night than all the banks IN
the city. Whether the amount is $4,000
600, as current report puts it. or only
81 900 900, as the more moderate gossips
have it, it is large enough to necessitate a
very strong guard, A James boy raid to-
night would knock the entire bottom out of
the Republican campaign.
The most conspicuous Congressional
fight IN the State is that between Paige and
Mckinley. At the Democratic headquar-
ters here was shown confidently the ofh-
cial figures. According to these there will
not be $50 majority either way. 1t IS now
estimated that 100000 will be spent BY
these two candidates 1t is the general
talk that the winner viii be his partys can
d;date for Governor next year, providing
Blaine's scheme to make Mckinley Speaker
of the House falls down.
Neither of the Ohio Senators is in the
tliek OF the fight They are both on the
ragged edge. Sherman is keeping very
quiet and is being roundly abused by his
nartv associates because he contributed
oply $500 to the campaign fund. Pendle,
tons original contribution Of $500, which |
have already noted. was supplemented last
Monday with $1,000 more. This also Is
official and confidential.

ON the Situation in West Virginia.

On the Situation in West Virginia.
The following is from an interview with
Pig Iron Kelly, printed in the Philadelphia
Times. This is the kind Of stuff that fires
the courage Of the Radicals in the North
and East:
How about West Virginia.
IL spent between two and three days in
Wheeling, where found the Republicans
full of zeal and activity 1t was not such
displays on the part OF Republicans in West
Virginia that convinced me that the Demo
Gratis feel that danger threatens them. But
when found them resorting to the Bour-
bon anti-war methods of mobbing Republ-
can newspaper Offices, throwing the types
and presses into the street, rsiding and
egging meetings of Republicans held in
obscure places, l came to the conclusion
that the Democratic brethren Of the rough
er sort had been persuaded that something
must be done and at once.

CoLuMBrs, October l2.-lt developed at
late hour last night that at the meeting Of
lie Republican Executive Committee, the
members of which conferred with Mr..
Blaine, Commissioner Dudley reported a
pol! OF the State which showed about $4,000
more Democratic votes in the State than
there are Republican. The statement is
that the committee after going over the
ground estimated how much money would
be needed to carry the election, and it was
decided to have it here today. A gentle
man Of Chicago, who is here, is said to be
down for $500 900 Of the amount, aud that
a similar iustalment is to arrive from New
York by SUNDAY evening

II the Democrats Should
lose Ohio, from thenceforward l disavow all
faith in political managers. One cannot
explain Chairman Bargars confidence on
any theory save that of success. Tonight
he reiterates with even more vehemence
that the State can not be lost In this
Governor Hoadly enthusiastically unites.
Bargar is man who ought not to be rat
tied. The natural tendency Of his organ
ization and temperament is to be coRservat-
i've rather than gush and Illusion. He
works day and night, guarding every want
age point. His ability is testified to even
by the enemy, who wish the old party
hacks whose previous claims have been
wind, were at the helm.
Governor Boutelle,
Mr. Blaine's Bosom Friend,
a day or two ago admitted openly that the
Democratic organization was perfect. TAX
ing the mass Of information from all avail
able quarters and sitting from it all substra-
Ia, the situation seems to be this: Ohio is
quite doubtful, with the tide favoring the
Democrats. The balance of power sjointly
between the prohibition and German vote. If
the prohibition element stand to
their own State ticket and
cast ten thousand votes Rob
inson will be defeated. If the bulk of this
vote is given to Robinson he will be elected.
Unless the Germans of Hamilton, Cuyaho-
90, Lucas and other counties stand by the
Democracy the chances are even that the
active and sedulous efforts Of the Republi-
cans to capture the temperance vote may
yet avail. In such contingency
The Salvation of Democracy
is in the Germans presenting solid front
against the crusader Robinson. The Re
pubicans hope to wr;ggle out in some way,
and if venality and desperate means can
aid them both Will be employed.
The genuine, gratifying aspect of the out
look is that, even conceding Ihe State to
the Republicans, the majority will be SO at
tenuated as to fail to give enthusiasm to
other Republican States which are fair
field for Democratic battle. A Republican
majority of less than ten thousand, 80 far
as effect on other States is concerned, is,
after all, in the nature Of a defeat. If the
Democrats are active, vigilant and united
the chances are with them as three is to
FIVE. The indications are that at this writ
ing the State is theirs. Will they hold it
until after Tuesday, Is the vexed problem.
The prospects are that they will.

The Battle BraVeIy Fought, the
Victory Will be GrandIy
Won.
NATIONAL REVOLUTION.

The people have decreed that there shall
be change in the administration Of Ma
tional officers. They demand that the
Books shall be opened" and that the light
of an honest investigation shall be turned
upon them. After suffering years Of riot
Gus corruption in all departments Of the
Government, they have resolved that only
honest men shall be placed on guard. A
great trust cannot safely be conferred on
an impure man. An unclean heart is &C
companied with unclean hands. JAMES G.
BLAINE can never preside over the Amer
ican people.
The powers of the Presidency were prosti-
tuted to the bssest uses, under GRANT. With
GRANTS aid, the Presidency was stolen for
HAYES. With the aid of the leaders Of the
Republican party, the Presidency was Pur-
chased for GARFIELD.
The American people are patient and
long suffering, but even their great patience
NAV be tried too far 1t has been so in this
case. The lion in them has been aroused,
and they will assert their rights with the
ballot and maintain them if need
be with the bayonet. This time
they will elect their Presi-
dent and they will inaugurate him as well.
Upon GROVER CLEVELAND, the honest man
whose public record showes his cleanliness
Of hand in purity Of heart, will be placed
the great task of renovating the civil ser
vice of the Government in all its rsmi6ca-
tons. With his splendid physical and men
tai powers, he is equal to the work marked
out by SAMUEL J. TILDEN, as necessary to
the perpetuity of American institutions.
1t is in the air that change has come.
A spirit of independence OF party lines has
broken loose. and thousands Of honest men
who have never cast other than Repubi
can ballot viii vote for REFORM and for
CLEVELAND who will be the instrument OF
that Reform. This is publicly seen to be
the case in New England; it is pre-eHinent-
" so in New York; it is true right here in
Wheeling and throughout West Virginia;
and this spirit will make itself felt in every
Northwe stern Safe.
No one doubts that Mr.. TILDEy would
have swept the country had his physical
condition permitted him to accept a NOM
nation. Gov. CLEVELAND is equipped
with every attribute necessary
to carry out the great reform upon which
Mr. TrLDEy's heart was set. By his official
acts he has shown not only his disposition
but his ability to place the government on
the right track.
A political revolution is at work. 1t
moves silently, but with tremendous power.
1t Is gathering force in every State Of
the North, and will burst with volcanic
suddenness on the 4th Of November. The
Republican party viii be shivered to atoms
and the government will be rescued from
those who have grown corrupt by long and
unrestrained possession Of power. 1t viii

hearts.

of the IntelEgencer gives up the fight

Republican failure to win to the dense Hit

We are glad he put this on record, and glad
that it was printed in the REGISTER where
the public viii see and read it. The people
spoken of will appreciate the compliment.
But we will venture this remark now:
When the election returns come it is our
prediction that the largest Democratic gains
will be found in those sections Of the State
where educational advantages are greatest.
Remember this prediction.

Republicans on the Run With No

CoLrNErs, O., October l2.-[Exclusive.
AS the canvass draws to a close it is
obvious to me that the Democrats are
gaining. In the part twenty-four hours |
have heard news that leads to the belief
that the Democrats have as good chance to
carry the State as the Republicans. 1t
seems to be an even fight with the proba
biities that the result will be so close as to
require an official canvass Of the vote to
determine the election OF at least two Of
the candidates. A wager on either side is
a good bet even money, if peoSt ts will
gamble.
The news from Cincinnati is that the tide
is setting in toward Democracy. The Re-
pubicans have all along claimed gains
there so confidently that many Democrats
have conceded them.
Present Indications,
from all accounts, are that the gain will be
on the other side. The Republican family
in Cincinnati is not happy one. The Re
publican affairs are entirely in the hands Of
Federal office holders, and they cannot
agree. Butterworth's bossism has raised
row, and they have quarreled over the divi-
sion of the funds raised by the clerks, car
riers and gaugers John Mclean intense
ly practical but thoroughly able machine is
ready. Some fine work is to be done. Con-
servative men express the fear that there
will be
Riots in Cincinnati
on election day. If halt the charges made
by each side against the other are true the
town will be in a turmoil with repeaters
roughs and attempts to vote imported
talent of various sorts. Bets are recorded
in this city that Hamilton county will give
5000 majority for Newman. / have heard
Republicans admit Democratic gain over
last year. If the Democrats carry Hamil-
ton by 5000 they ought to carry the State.
Ohio usually goes as Cincinnati goes.
The talk here is that
Blaine is Breaking Down
under the strain, physical and mental, he is
now undergoing. Some of the Republican
workers about headquarters here admit that
Blaine's tour was mistake. One Of them,
Colonel Moore put it in this vigorous fash
ion:
Enthusiasm isn't worth cent. We have
spent too much of our money on Blaine
and too many of our men have wasted their
time following him about when they ought
70 be at home at work His coming here has
not strengthened US, that can see. His
prolonging his tour and crossing his own
track has made our fellows fear that our
Case is Desperate.
All over the country they are talking that
Blaine wouldn't stay in Ohio so long if
there wasn't great danger. The fact is,
when Blaine came out here he thought the
Democrats would be id fools enough to
send Cleveland after him. That was what
