rHF BUrYALo LIE.

The following, which explicitly explains
itself, is ofyitsl Importance just now. IS It
completely demOishes the scandalous lies
which have been paraded for several days
by the Blaine organs with shameless indie
cency. 1t is in answer to private letter
sent from Chicago:
BuFFALo, N. Y, July q.
DEAR SIR-Yours of the Gath inst. re-
eeiyed, and we thank you for your manifest
ed interest in Governor Cleyeland's behalf
With reference to the reports about Govern.
or Cleveland, you can say and you will tell
the positive truth every time you say it, that
the story over Rev. Mr.. Balls signature.
and the other reports about Clevelsnds I'M
morality, are absolutely false. Kew. Mr.
Ball was an ardent supporter of Cleye-
land during the GubernAtiorial
campaign, and was paid for his work
We understand, however that he was dis
appointed about some position, hence the
"hop" and dirty work, unbeeoming any
man. whether he wears the cloth or not
Rev" Mr.. Balls article has no weight IN
this place, where he is known. The story
as published is false-sbSolutely so-and
will be met in due time. Cleveland will
carry Buffalo BY 5000 or 5000 majority,
and New York State BY at least Is, 900, and,
in all probability, considerably more. He
is man whose social or public life has
never been mared to prevent his sssocisting
with. and having the confidence Of the best
people in Buffalo. And, if elected, which
be surely will be, the United States will
have an upright, fearless President Yours

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

The appearance of Texas fever in the
stock yards at Chicago is having bad et-
feet on the cattle trade in the West 1t is
hoped, however, that the panic will be Of
short duration, and viii not damage the
live stock business to any extent.
The fact is there has been too much neg
Fgence among Chicago cattle dealers in not
taking the proper steps to prevent the
plague from making an outbreak in their
Yards. Il is now demonstrated that the dis
ease. will not communicate from one steer
to another. or in other words it is not strict
ly contagious. But it can be communicate
ed by grazing in the same pastures that dis
eased cattle have fed in. Consequently it
is easy to quarantine against

THE SITUATION CHANGES.

One gratifying feature Of the present
campaign is that business has not been
damaged. Usually what is known as
Presidential year" has been regarded as a
>duII season tor trade. This has come Of an
apprebes, sion in business circles that q
change of administration may mean a
change in our commercial relations. To
this extent then has u.'ually been desire
manifested by the buSine>S circles Oh the
country to 90 slow until the silI' anon could
be developed. Again, it has been usual
for the Republicans at each succeeding ELF, .
ton to raise the cry that Democratic sue
cess meant disaster to al business interests.
While the cry was false still it was herslded
with such noise and apparent earnestness
IA to have its effect. But this year the
whole situation is changed The nomina-
ton of GROVER CLEVELASD has changed all
speh senseless elamor. He is known to
the business men Of America, and if any
apprehension Is felt in business circles on
account of his nomination it is because OF q
possibility that hisoppOnent may De elected

why It should support the Democratic
Party's candidate.
Senator Charles W. Jones, of Florida,
was at the New York Hotel yesterday. He
had read the speech of Governor cleveland
to the Committee that called to notify him
of his nomination, and said: There is
great deal in that speech. 1t shows man
Of concentrated thought and power. Its
tone is manly, elevated, and straightfor-
ward II contains no political hummery,
but is the spontaneous expression OF an
honest and earnest mind. 1t is an admir-
able address and must win general ap-
prevail.
what is the feeling in Florida and the
South in regard to the Democratic ticketY
at is all one way-all for Cleveland and
Hendricks. The party at the South was
never more united and harmonious than it
is at the present moment In the north |
see there is some disintegration Of the Irish
vote. Since 1898 the Irish have always
acted with the Democratic party, and for
good reasons, because the Democratic party
was always animated by broad and cath
Ole spirit and generously welcomed Irish
men and all other foreigners to these shores.
Ii was the Democratic party which cut
down the period of naturalization from four.
teen years to FIVE. The Federal party,
{ ON which the Republican is ineally de-
Scended, had no sympathy for foreigners.
When Rufus King was Minister to England
the question was discussed between him
and his government as to allowing Thomas
Adds Emmett and other Irish patriots in
volyed in the transactions of 80 to land in
America, because they were presumed to be
disturbers of established authority. The
spirit of the Federal party was of a central
izing and monarchial tendency. The
Irish instinctively grayitated to the
Democratic party and chung to
it tenaciously in all those past
years, because the principles of the party,
its hberahty and its liberation were con,
genial to the Irish heart The Democratic
party has always stood up for the rights Of
naturalized citizens whenever intringed any
where abroad, but the same cannot be said
Of the Republican party. l cannot well
understand why any portion of the Irish
should now desert the party, even if they
are not wholly in sympathy with its stand
ard bearer The President does not create
the policy of his party, but the party ere,
ates it for him and he is guided by It. II
some Irishmen imagine that Blaine, when
President, will afford them any more help
than his party has vet condescended to give
them, they will find themselves greatly mis-
taken. If Cleveland be made President he
will adapt himself to the ancient traditions
OF his party in regard to all international
questions, and the Irish will have no just
cause to complain.

West Virginia Congressional Districts.


Another letter on the political situation
in West Virginia from the special CORE
spondent of the Sun, who has been making
q careful study of the complications in that
State, describes the outlook in the various
congressional districts and the causes which
have contributed to the heavy falling off in
the Democratic vote. His conclusion gen.
orally is that in none of the districts will
the Democratic candidate have a holiday
campaign, but that in all of them hard and
persistent work will be necessary to insure
success All the Democratic nominations
have been made except in the First Dis
trict, the present ineumbents having been
renominated in every instance. In the First
or Pan Handle" District the probabilities
point to the nomination of Hon. Ben Viii.
son, who represented the district three
terms retiring in 1882.

Democrats Enthusiastic at Cincinnati
ISDecial TELEGRAM 10 the GIobe


CINcINNATI, O., Oct. 1S.-If any despon-
dent Democrats were to be found last We'd
nesday they have evidently taken different
view OF affairs since then, for to-day there is
no city in the country that contains so many
enthusiastic Democrats as does Cincinnati
This feeling Of confidence has been gained
entirely from Tuesdays experience, which
taught the Democrats of Ohio that on
a fair election this state is not
Republican. The acts of violence and
intimidation practiced by Lot Wrght's Ken
lucky negro deputy marthals has done more
to soIidify the Democratic ranks in this
county than anything that could have been
planned. Preparations have already begun
in earnest to marshal the Democratic hosts.
and an attack will be made on the 4th OF No
vember that will shatter the false Republican
majority into spIinters. The Democrats
confidently claim their ability to reverse the
ig ires, and will endcavor to roll up a ma
iority Of 5000 in this county for
Cleveland. In this they win have a united
party, assisted by scores of Independent
Republicans, and by hundreds of non-partI-
san men who looked with alarm at the high
handed proceedings of the drunken deputy
marshals.
In conversation with large number of
Democrats of all shades of party feeling it
was learned that never before has the party
been more determined to rebuke fraud by
carrying Hamilton county in November II
is argued that the party not only owes it
TO its individual members, but should also
protect its Independent brethren by making
If so hot in this state as to render it mpossi-
bic for the Republicans to send their repeat
ers to the Hoosier state without endaneeripe
success in Ohio. The result last Tuesday
has greatly encouraged the local Democracy
to renewed exertioDs. In the last twenty
years Ohio has never but once given so small
Republican majority IN the De-
tober elections, and has at the
same contests returned but about
one-third Of the Democratic congressional

The Next House.
lspecialTelegram to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 1S.-The presi-
dental election is not absorbing all the at
tention of the politicians in the city. The
complexion of the next house of representa-
tives has been carefully canvassed. At pres
ent the Democrats have over seventy ma
jority, so that it will require Republican
gain of at least thirty-six members to over
turn the Democratic majority. If there was
Republican tidal wave this might be effec-
ted, but no such popular movement is indi-
Gated by an election in a
state always surely Republican in pres
idential years, where, after spending
nearly million of dollars and employing
an armed force of murderers and cut throats,
this party, so far from gaining, sustains
loss of 5000 votes on the election of foul
years ago. Four states have voted so far for
congressman, Oregon electing one Republic
can, Vermont three Republicans, and Ohio
electing ten Republicans and eleven Demo-
Gratis. In Ohio the seats of Butterworth,
Brown and Romeis will probably be con-
tested, but assuming them to have been
legally elected, we have in these four states
Republican gain of three. Estimating
the other states upon the most liberal pos
sible basis for the Republicans and conced-
which many Democrats utterly repudiate, we
have the following changes in the congress
sional delegates as they now stand:
