GERMAN CoNsCRIPTIoN.

The Horrors of EuroL can Military Rule.
LONDON, September l5.-The rigors of
military conscription in Germany are Illus
tratei BY recent incident at Greiz. Two
gentlemen of that city, being soldiers of the
landwehr class, were ordered to report for
duty for the autumn naneuvres Of the Ger
man army. The only means of transPor-
tation offered them was to 60 in cattle
train with lot of peasants, who were also
landwehr soldiers. The gentlemen refused
to take their places in the cattle trucks and
telegraphed a remonstrance to the Emperor
William at Berlin. A reply came back
through military official channels to the
effect that the offenders were to be tired in
the usual way for disobedienee Of orders.
The two gentlemen have accordingly been
duly tried by court martial, and the sentence
of the court has just been approved and
promulgated. The sentence is for each OF
them eight years of imprisonment at hard
labor in the common Jail at Greiz.

RIG GUS CONTING.

The two candidates for Vice President,
Messrs. HES0RICEs and LOGAN, are stump
iny Ohio. 1t was reported that both BLAINE
and CLEVELAND we're also to be brought to
the Buckeye State, but this is now denied.
Neither ot"these gentlemen. it is nov re-
ported, viii leave the borders Of their own
States for political purposes.
As it is announced that Gen. LOGAN viii
speak in both Wheeling and Par&ersburgh,
it's row in order for those who are msnag-
ing the campaign on the other side to see
to it that Mr.. HESDMCKs also be brought to
West Virginia. He is by tar the more able
and cultured man of the two and his pres
eace in the State viii prove an inspiration
to bis party. Let Mr.. HENDRICKS come to
the little Mountain State by all means.
Then BAYARD and THURMAN, RANDALL
and CARLISLE, PArRICE Collins and CARL
ScHURz should also be brought to our aid
in this pivotal contest. There is no vine
ward in which their labors can be Of greater
effect. Delaware will go Democratic with
CUT B,YAED's help; Massachusetts, will
certainly 20 Republican in spite Of COLLINS;
Ta,sv,S can be spared from Ohio, as the
present managers of the party in that State
and this grand old statesman are not IN
accord, RANDALL can De spared from Radi-
Isl PENNSYLVANIA, and CARLISLE from Bour-
Ion Kentucky, and CARL ScHURz from
roaming the world at large. Let the big
guns be massed upon our soil; and let US
have the advantage of their wisdom, elo-
rrence and encouraging WORDS.

The Republicans Much Worried About the
Result over the River.
ALBANY, September lj.-Although Ohio
will be the chief centre of political interest
during the next month, the Democratic
managers, so Gov Cleveland's friends say,
have decided not to concentrate all their en-
ergies on the October States, The cam
paign in the Buckeye State will be con-
Quoted with extraordinory vigor and push,
vet the friends Of Gov. Cleveland do not
stake their chances Of winning in No
vember on the prospect OF success
there. If they carry both Ohio
and Virginia in October they
believe that Mr.. Blaine's defeat is certain,
but if West Virginia goes Democratic and
the Republicans carry Ohio by small ma
iority. they think that the remainder OF the
contest will be extremely hot and bitter,
with the final result in doubt. In a word
they regard Ohio as
Indispensable to the Republicans,
but not to 3 Democratic victory Their
reasons for this beEefis that Ohio has never
been lost by the Republicans in a Preslden-
tial year, and that the Republican manag-
ers are evidently preparing for an "aggres-
sive" canvass. -Four years ago the hePuo,
Gcan candidate for Secretary OF State had
lSOO5 majority in October, and the small
est Republican majority at the State cleo
ton in the previous Presidential years was
6,6SS, in 1876.
The announcement that both Mr.. Blame
and Gen. Logan will speak in Cincinnati,
and that Postmaster General Gresham Will
at once take the stump in Ohio Is consider
ed evidence that the 'engencies OF the cam

The Democratic boys did themselves and
their party great credit last night. The
evening was charming, neither too hot nor
too cold; the SKY was clear and the stars
bright It was jus, such night as the en-.
tire population finds It agreeable to be on
the streets. Every Democratic Marching
Club in the city turned ont and marched in
procession to Capitol Square to greet Hon.
L. WILLIS WILSON, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of the State. Animmense
throng had assembled in advance Of the ar
rival of the clubs. The entire space be-
the capitol building aid the Episcopal
church and across to the west side OF
Chapline street, was solid mass Of interest
ed human beings.
A full account Of the meeting, its organ
ization and sketches of the speeches, will be
found on the local page. The whole affair
was grand success. and We heartily con
gratulate the managers and all who con
;ributed 10 such q brilliant result.

Placing their Money Where 1t is Most
Needed.
WASHINGTON, September l5.-Some Of
the many citizens of Ohio who hold posi-
tions under the Government in this city, in
stead of handing over their campaign con-
tributions to the Squeezing Committee, are
taking the precaution to send their money
direct to the party leaders in Ohio. They
realize that the death struggle Of the Blaine
party is TO be fought in that State, and they
know that there is Republican use there for
every dollar that can be squeezed out of
office holders. Their failure to. make the
Squeezing Committee the vehicle for their
greenbscks is taken by some to mean fear
that if the committee got its clutches upon
the money some of it might be diverted into
other States or used in meeting various ex-
penses, such as commissions, so that Ohio
would not get the whole amount. All dan
ger of this is avoided BY transmitting the
money direct to the place where tits needed.
Native Ohioans who happen to be serving
the government in other States are follow
ing the example set by those in Washing
ton, all of which is quite satisfactory to the
Blaine managers in the Buckeye State.

MERlpES, COYN., September l5.-About
| o'clock yesterday morning William John
son, of Wallingford, found his wife with
Arthur jackson, of New Haven, in the house
of a man named Smith, in that village.
johnson attacked them with an AK, which
he picked up in the yard previous to climb
ing into the house through window. He
nearly cut Jackson's ear of with blow on
the side of the head, and then crushed in his
wife's skull. He fled from the house, but
seeing Smith start toward the town to sum
mon officers he returned and again attacked
his wife, killing her before he left. He was
captured this morning few miles south OF
Walliugford. He confessed his guilt and
said he was glad he had killed his wife,
stating that he went to the house for that
purpose. johnson and his wife have sePa-
rated several times on account of jealousy.
They are both colored and had bad reputa-
tations. Johnson will have preliminary
hearing tomorrow
