you together to enable you to further con-
slider the great subject of the representation

The information from the Soudan includes
painful uncertainties but the energy, cour.
age and resource conspicuously displayed
by General Gordon in the successful de-
fence of Khartoum deserve my warm recog-
milton. The advance of my troops to DON

other gentlemen interested in railroads

Automatic Voters.

Owing to the near approach of election
day, every community is, more or less,
filled with political enthusiasm, and now
crops out one of the greatest abomlnitions
with which our land il cursed, viz: the
ignorance Of rioters,
There arc districts in the United States
where, not only for months prior to cleo
ton, hut even al polls, the ignorance mani
tested in regard 30 the business in hand, is
simply disgusting; for Instance, one OF
these eliminated automatons" election day
having arrivedl will sally forth, and having
reached the polls ofttimes after procuring
his ticket he will make inquiries as to
the names of the various candidates, and
after gaining that information he is obliged
to make further investigation in order TO
ascertain " hat parties they represent. Such
a state of affairs is an abomlDation and II
persevered in will prove disastrous 10 the
country.
General freedom and popular privileges
will do very we'll 10 certain extent, but
there are eriremcs to all mundane affairs,
and vast numbers OF these blatant-volced
fanatics, and selfish advocates Of civil
rights, will find, ere long, that they have
crossed the fatal Ru5icon", aud become
awakened to the fact that the very measures
which they adopted to secure freedom and
equal rights to all citizens Of tho land, have
proven the meaus tor defeating their object.
Every registrar should be authorized to
examine each voter in his district as to his
educational qualifications for voting, and
those that are found wanting" should be
debarred from the polls.
When this know-nothing element is filter.
ed out and intelligence governs the land,
our Government will become stable. Then,
and not until then, will elections prove that
the voters have an eye to the welfare and
perpetuatior of the Republic.
Gentlemen let ignorance have no voice
in the councils Of the nation.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 25.-The Enquirer is
having careful canvass made OF the state
of Indiana by townships, the work being
done through township trustees. In past
campaigns the Enquirer has instituted SIM
liar canvasses, and the predictions based
upon them have been wonderfully accurate,
the widest variance from subsequent official
returns being 571 in the election
of 1880. Returns have been received
from $50 out of the 1,026 town
ships in the state, which show net Demo-
cratic gain over 1880 of 10, $50, which is
equal to 13, 1888 for the whole state. The
total Republican gains in the $50 townships
are 2,647, leaving a net Democratic gain
over the Republicans of 1865. The total
Republican gains in the state, estimated
from the townships heard from, are 3,O7s,
which gives a total net gain of the Democrats
over the Republicans in the state of
10000. The following is the total
vote of the state, as these
reports would show It, counting the Butler
and Prohibition vote together. Total Demo
cratic vote, 236, ia; total Republican vote.
235, ,242; Democratic majority, 1,472; total
Butler and Prohibition vote, 17,O45; total
vote Of the state, 4S9,611; increase of vote
over 1880, 1S,93S. But, as the reports do
not include fully the cities of Indianapolis,
Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Terre Haute, New
Albany and Evansville, it is absolutely safe
to assume that 5 900 Germans who in
1880 voted for Garfield win now vote for the
Democratic state ticket, this being no longer
an October state. 1t is highly probable tha:
many who vote the Democratic state ticket
or the Prohibition state ticket will vote for
Blaine. OF the reported 3,5sS Prohibition
votes that will be cast for their state ticket,
1895 of them are reported for Blaine. If,
then, the 5000 German votes are added to
the 1,472 the Democratic majority makes a
total of 6,472; but from that should be de-
Quoted the 1884 Prohibitionists who will
vote for Blaine, leaving the maiorities as
follows: Democratic majority on state
ticket 6,472; Democratic national ticket

WHEELING, W. Va, Sept. 25.-General

committeeman, took carriage with the re-
ception committee and were escorted to the

Z. Hubbard, OF this city, and Col. /. II.
Anderson, of amberidge. In introducing
Gen. Logan, Mr.. Hubbard said: ''The states
of West Virginia and Ohio please come to
order.n The crowd numbered $4,000.
Gen neral Logan was received with the widest
applause, and spoke an hour and quarter,
prin cipally on finance and the tariff. He
was followed by Powell Clayton and Gen.

Kelly, of Philadelphia, addressed large
audience at the opera house. His subject
being the protection of American industries.
A street demonstration took place, 5000
torches and men being in line. They were
reviewed by Gems. Logan, Clayton and Golf.
1t is estimated that so, 900 strangers were in
the city this evening. Such gathering was
never witnessed in West Virginia before.
Gen. Logan tonight sleeps in car on the
Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling road, and
leaves early in the morning for Cleveland to
meet Blaine,
