CINCINNATI FEVERISH WITH EXCIT
MENT.

The city this morning was feverlsh with eX-
citement. Many arrests were made at the
polls this morning for illegal voting, and chal-
ienging was carried on to a greater extent
than ever before. Sights collisions took place
in several of the wards early this morning,
but the worst up to noon was in the Sixth
ward, where a large number of negroes and
Irish vote, and where early this morning one
OF PnkertOn'5 detectives was badly be aten. A
negro known as Foxy" Anderson was killed
this morning in an encounter with a Deputy
Marshal. A report came from the Fifteenth
ward that the Deputy Sheriffs had oYerpow-
ed the Deputy Marshals and were refusing to
allow any negroes to vote, and the Marshal
sent an additional number of Deputy Mar
shaIs to the scene. The weather is delight
fully cool and pleasant. A very large vote
has so far been pOlled. Men about the polls
say that there is very little scratching, and
everywhere great earnestness IS manifested.
1t was remarked by Judge Kelley, Of Penn
sylVania, after canvassing this State that he
had never seen such intense interest mani
tested in politics since 1910. All reports re-
ceived up to y O'Clock this noon indicated
that this intensity of feeling continued. An
enormous vote was being pOlled, each party
striving not only to get in votes, but to get
them in early. 1t was understood that Ohio
was regarded as the battle ground of the
Presidential campaign, and that on the issue
of TO day depended the conduct of the next 3
weeks of the campaign. The polls were closely
watched-Deputy Sheriffs and police repre-
senting the Democrats, and Deputy United
States Marshals, and the Citizens Committee
the ReDublicans.

Great Excitement and Grave Fears
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE informa-
tiOn about Ohio and West Virginia, re-
ceiyed here, is very meagre. The very
latest news is that the Democrats con-
cede Ohio to the Republicans by small
majority. The Republicans claim the
State by $4,000 majority. West Virginia
has probably gone Democratic by a small
majority. Definite information cannot be
had befO:e tomorrow from the last men

THE NEWS FROM THE battlefield.
CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 14.-At a late
hour last night six United States Deputy
Marshals were arrested by police. Two
of these men were arrested on Front street
and the other four on Sixth street. Both
places are known as negro resorts, and
the Marshals were searching for repeat
ers. ReYOlveTs were found on all of the
party but one. The six men were taken
to the station and locked up. Shortly
after l O'Clock this morning United States
Marshal Lot Wright appeared at the sta
liOu anu ueluduueu Ol Uue OUHcer IN cDarge
the release of all the prisoners, the sur
render of the weapons taken from them
and the possession of the warrant
which the police had cOnfscated
when the men were arrested,
which demand was refused. The Marshal
then disappeared, but afterward returned
with Secret Service Officer RathbOne and
four Deputy Marshals, armed with a war
rant from the United States Court tor the
arrest of the three policemen who had ar
rested the United States Marshals. He
was informed that the six deputies had
been released from custody. He dis
covered that the three policemen for
whom he had warrants were concealed,
but subsequently two of them were ar
rested, and at 2:40 o'clock this morning
they were taken before the United States
Commissioner on a charge of Obstructing
United States Marshals in the discharge
of their duty. The Marshals are after the
third policeman, and they also hold
warrant for the arrest of the Lieutenant
of Police who locked the Marshals up.

5. We know nothing about the starting up
of the mills; but it is fact, well understood
by every manufacturer in the land, that the
hostile legislation attempted by the Demo
cratic House of Congress at its last session did
more than anything else to PROSTATE and par
alyze American industrial enterprises. If any
political influence is starting up the mills
again it is the prospect of Republican triumph
in November
6. We do not know that you are justified
in making the assertion you do as basis for
your question. Undoubtedly there are good
workmen out of employment. 1t is always
so. It is certain, however, that one of the
most potential influences is the formidable at
tempt made by the Democratic party to tear
down the tariff, establish free trade and com
pei American mill men to reduce prices, re-
duce profits and reduce wages or close up their
establishments entirely. Certain it is that
under free trade, and in direct competition
with England, American laboring men could
not expect double the wages paid in England.

COLONEL GRAY'S RECORD.
Chicago News (Dem.)

Chicago News (Dem.)
Briefly stated, the career of Isaac P. Gray,
Democratic candidate for Governor of Indiana
seems to have been as follows: In 1854 and I'M
til 1860 he was a violent Know-nothing in 1860
he was Republican, entered the army and re-
signed when his regiment was ordered to the
front; in 1870 he was Republican candidate for
congressional nomination, but was defeated; in
1872 he was again Republican candidate for
congressional nomination, and was again de-
feated, whereupon he sought the nomination
for Lieutenant-governor and was defeat,
ed; in 1876 he was nominated and
elected by the Democrats Lieutenant-gov-
ernor, and, upon the death of Governor Will
Jams, filed out the term (six weeks during
which time he pardoned sixteen convicts, two of
whom had been his clients. In 1880 he was a
candidate for the nomination for Governor, and
failing to secure that accepted the nomination
for Lieutenant-governor, and was defeated
before the people. At different times
in his life, when not engaged in politics, Mr.
Gray has served as Spectator in whisky, and
was the president of one of those institutions
commonly called graveyard insurance compa
niess His business and political careers have
shown that he possessed a versatility which few
could equal and none could surpass.

j. F. GEBHART, superintendent of the New
Albany Wooden Mills has issued a circular,
showing the results of protection. In 1860
all-wool fannels sold at 40 cents. Same kind
now, SO cents. Kentucky jeans then, 60
cents; now, 50 cents. In 1860 United States
farmers raised Co. 600, 900 pounds of wool, for
which they received 81 1-2 to AZ IL cents per
pound. In 1888 they raised 25O,OOOO 900
pounds, for which 4Oto so cents id. The
reduction of the tariff on woolens in 1888 had
very depressing effect on the business, here,
and resulted in the importation of no less than
100000 yards of goods that should have
been made by American men and mills. Yet
there be those who wonder that trade in that
line is dull

HERE is another choice paragraph from the
Louisville Courier-Journal, which says 'Ken-
lucky must take care of Indiana" by blood
shed if necessary:
'HThe Democrats must take alarm. The
laws must be upheld and the rights of the peo-
pie maintained. If manufacturers attempt to
intimidate their workingmen make the facts
known and meet intimidation by boycotting
force by reason backed by force, and outlawry
by swift and condign punishment
This and like paragraphs in the Demo
cratic press every day are direct Indictment to
force and fraud. And yet the Democracy
coolly invite the Republicans to voluntarily
abandon the protection the laws of the coun
try afford to the ballot-box Southern meth
dds of intimidation and fraud are not popular
in the North, and, thank God in this part of
the country the laws of the federal govern
ment are forceful and respected. This is not
the solid South.

WE are in receipt of a note from Mrs. NJ. L..
Wells, in which she says she did not say that
the headquarters of the Republican party in
Washington were in a saloon, but that she did
say that she had seen some people coming out
of saloon situated in a building from one
corner of which was fastened banner bear
ing the names of Blaine and Logan, that these
people hurrahed for the banner, and she pre-
sumed they were Republicans, and made their
headquarters in the saloon. The question the
Journal answered was one as to the truth of
an alleged statement made by Mrs. Wells,
that the Republican headquarters were in a
saloon. Of course, if she did not say So that
ends the matter. AS originally printed the
statement was so preposterously absurd that
for any one to believe it was necessary i'm

AS specimen of the talk with which Dem
ocratic newspapers are filed, take this from
the Louisville Courier Journal:
eff there is lack of physical courage in
Indiana the contest is over. Democrats should
organize, not merely to vote, but for self
protection. The vote of Indiana belongs to
the Democrats. 1t must be so cast, but it
will not be unless there is something of the
old Jacksonian spirit animating the Indiana
Democrats"
1t was the Courier-J Journal which wanted
100, 900 unarmed Kentuckians to go to Wash
ington in 1876 to see that Tilden was inaugu-
rated. 1t was the Courier-J ournal that said
Kentucky must take care of Indiana" even
if bloodshed was necessary. 1t is the Demo
rebel Hubbard to tell Democrats to take their
pistols to the polls, and to use them. The
interest in the result in Indiana is intense all
over the country: The South is particularly
alert, and is raising all the money that is
thought necessary to debauch the State. The
tactics of the Southern bulldozer have been
imported into Indiana as witness the brutality
in Putnam county toward General Wander
wort and Miss Holbrook. Yet these are the
people who are talking about free and a fair
election, and are endeavoring to beguile the
Republican party by fair words to forego the
protection to the ballot-boxes which the laws
of the country afford. The Republicans of
Indiana know the Democratic party, They
know its cowardly and corrupt instincts
They cannot be humbugged. The Repub-
icans propose to have fair election, and to
that end will see that the full power of the
law is invoked to prevent the rape of the bal
lot proposed by the desperate solid South
Democracy.

CLEVELAND AND BEECHER.

Among the few who have so far forgotten
their self-respect as to rush to the aid Of Gro
yer Cleveland, in his crusade against decency
and virtue, is Henry Ward Beecher, man
too well known to need introduction. But
there are other things that attract Mr.. Beecher
besides his sympathy for Cleveland's ''saered
sins" The latter's free-trade tendencies are
identical with Beechers, and it was Beecher
who, but few years ago in speaking against
striking railroaders gave expression to the
following heartless utterances:
'The necessities of the great railroad COM
panies demanded that there should be re-
ductiou of wages There must be continual
shrinkage until things come back to the gold
standard, and wages, as well as greenbacks,
provisions and property, must share in it. 1t

A family may live on good bread and water in
the morning, water and bread at midday and

called the bread of affection, but it was fit
that man should eat of the bread of affiiction.

THE New York Sun tabulates the returns
from number of the counties in Ohio at the
recent election, whereby it is shown that
twelve counties, containing SO per cent of
the miners and 80 per cent. of the iron and
steel-workers gave, in 1880, Republican ma
jority of 9, 348 and, in 1884, Republican ma
iority of 10, 073-a net increase of 2,725 in
one-seventh of the State by the very persons
most interested in the question of protection.

vince the leaders everywhere that protection
to American industry will be the winning
card in the national canvass, andathat SINH

So far from this being true, exactly the OPP

very good reasons. The press of that coun-

THE st. Louis Post Dispatch gives it up.
1t tells the story of how the Democratic lead
ers frittered away their only chance of success.
1t says that while the country was clamoring
quarreled in wooden Inconsistencies of it ALL
with the bland complacency of wooden In
dian in front of cigar store or with the
senseless Inconsistencies of a deaf man in
front of an express train they simply ignored
it. They had something else to do" This
dsheartened Democratic paper says:
'"They had a miserable little tariff bill,
which they knew could not be passed, which
they declared did not satisfy them, which
they were assured did not satisfy anybody
else which could do the country no more
good than proclamation against the potato
bug, which was a direct challenge to re-
spectacle and conscientious minority Of their
own party, which was calculated to awaken
needless distrust and alarm among vast and
valuable business interests, and on this hope
less failure these would-be leaders staked the
fortunes of Democracy, and the hopes of the
country. The result was that, starting out
with preponderating majority, the net re-
suit of the session was a humiliating defeat in
their own house."
Very early in the campaign the Journal said
the country was further from free trade than
ever before. The course of the canvass thus
far has demonstrated that fact, and it will be
further proven by the result of the election
next week. The american instinct is
abroad.
