they seem to have lost sight OF the situa'
ton In their own State. The Republicans
are anxious because they know that Il
good round majority against Dourbonism
In October will virtually settle the contest
in November, and hence their anxiety to
have the largest majority possible, besides
an overwhelming defeat OF the Democracy
three weeks in advance Of the National
election would so demoralize Gray and
his party that their defeat would follow rs
sure as the night follows the day. On the
other hand, they realize that Il Ohio
should 20 Democratic, the Republicans
would have to renew the fight most vigor-
ously all along the line, else there would
bc danger Of 4 few Bourbon candidates for
State offices slipping in. a.' 'S
The purpose oi the Republicans is that
the Democracy shall be buried SO deep
they will not, for some years, Mt least, pre-
sumo to ask ior political -preierment. Not
Republican in this state believes that
Ohio will east her vote for Cleveland, al
though she does not indorse the State tick
ct in October, but what they want Is u
complete and lasting showing under OF the
entire heail, body and tail OF Bourbonism
in October, so that there will lie nothing
left to be done in November but attend the
funeral Of the copperhead reptile.
HAVE 10 HOPE OF ONO.
The Democrats here do not expect Their
friends in Ohio will elect their candidates,
and, as near US I can ascertain their plans,
they hope, by theaid OF u corrupting iurd
and the importation OF a small army Of
portable voting snakes, to reduce the Re
publican majority below what it would be
with an honest vote and fur count. II
they shall succeed in that, the country
will be flooded with hastily gotten up lii.
erature, in which false cures will be
given to show that, but for. the corrunt
and illegal methods Of the Republican
party, the State would have given a larger
Democratic majority than was given to
fIoadly. Arstring Of lies Of that kind they
think may so stimulate the faithful that
q few # not all the State candidates
may be able to pull through. No Demo-
crat believes that Cleveland win carry
Indiana, and the fight for the National
ticket is 4 mere makc-bclieve.+ It is the
loavcs and fishes OF the State offices that
are wanted, and wanted badly; besides,
Hendricks of let the books sbe~es.
amined is not what is wanted, so far MS
this State is concerned The books Of
nearly all the departments are already in
the. hands OF the wonll.bc book exa,nin.
ers, and the fear of IN examination is the
lever whicLis forcing them to do and dare
desperate things to retain their hold upon
the Treasury, auditing and other depart
ments OF the State Government. Offers,
therefore. to trade Cleveland votes for sup.
port OF State ticket may be expected, but
the Republicans will turn avdeai ear TO all
such suggestions, for, in the first place,
Republicans do not engage in that kind OF
campaign work !, besides, the State is sure
for Blaine and the Republican State ticket
anyhow. z 81
: IMPORTANT MOVEMENT.
The most important and significant
movement in political circles in some days
was purely German gathering at Mozart
Hall last night, at which the Hon Phillip
Rappaport delivered a mastery address.

thusiastic political meeting ever held by
the German population I,of this city.
After some singing by the German.Ameri:
can Blaine and Logan Club, the meeting
was called to order, and Mr.. Otto Stechhan
made President, with the following list OF
