THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS

Since the two presidential tickets
have been fairly in the field, it has
been steadily maintained on all
hands, and by both parties, that the
results in Ohio and West Virginia
in October would 90 far to settle the
result in November. 1t has been
believed by Republicans that ifthey
maintained their ground in Ohio in
October, the contest would be there
by transferred to New York and
Indiana, where they would have n
lighting chance. They claimed that
phenomenal majority in Ohio
would indicate a tide of public sem
timent in their favor, and that their
chances to win would then be the
better of the two. Democrats have
conceded these propositions. On
the other hand, the Democrats have
maintained that if there were no
more than the usual Republican
majority in Ohio, their chances be
ing naturally better in Indiana and
New York than the chances of the
Republicans, Cleveland's chances
would be the better. They have
claimed that if the Democracy car
ried Ohio in October. or largely re-
duced the Republican majority, the
would be virtually ended
in Cleveland's favor. And these
propositions have been conceded by
thoughtful Republicans. And or
these hypothesis the battle has
been fought in Ohio. No two men

city was enthused, and cheers of
victory went up from every street

from a prominent Pension Attorney

w WASHINGTON, ID. C.,
June %, 1884.
CAPT. JACOB M. HENDRICKsoN,
Morelrs Mill, Tenn.
DEAR SIR:-Just received, a let
ter, dated 21st inst, from your
daughter, Mrs. Mollie V, Berger, in
which she states that Mr.. Pettibone,
Nj. c., denies that | ever wrote to
him asking his assistance in secur-
ing early action on your Pension
Claim. a..
If Mr.. PettibOne states that, he
knows very different from that.
Herewith l send you copies of my
two letters to him; and have to say
furthermore that after waiting some
time to hear from the honorable
gentleman, induced Mr.. Eathan A.
Sawyers, of Tennessee, to go to him
and urg him to attend to your case.
Mr.. Sawyers returned and informed
me that Mr.. Pettibonc had received
my letters and would go to tho
Commissioner. At later date |
saw Mr., Sawyers again and gave
him memorandum of the case;
and soon after he told me that Mr..
Pettibone said he had attended to
the matter Having ascertained
that nothing had been done by Mr..
Pettibone, and despairing after
weeks waiting, of ever getting a re-
ply to my cevil letters to. him,
wrote to Senator Harris about your
case, and his prompt action was in
marked contrast with the do.noth-
ing policy of Mr.. Pettibone.
In my second letter dated Feb.
Z, 1884 enclosed stamp for his
reply and By Heaoenl he kept the
stamp. [ never received a line from
him; and was much surprised, as he
to be posing before the
country as the soldiers friend. Had
be taken any interest in our case, | |
should not have been obliged TO APP
peal to Senator Harris.
L know personally but little or
nothing of Mr.. Pettibone's habits.
Have heard repeatedly that he tack |
ed too much ''snake bite. Some
men are said to be brighter drunk
han sober: whether be comes in
he same category, | don t know. AS
o the letters, there. cannot be shae
low Of doubt of his having received
hem, and if he denies it, the most
charitable construction to place up
IN it is that at that time he was in
pch Q condition that he daes not
low anything about what he did or
lid not receive. ]. r. WALL.
