Certainly not. We have never consid-
cred il in our probabilities even. We agreed
early in the campaign that we could carry
New York, Indiana New jersey and the
South, with probably Connecticut, and we
have concentrated oureiforts on these States.
We have concentrated on the first three
States. and have never been diverted one
hour from these battegrounds. We felt
confident that the south would take care OF
itself. The vote in West Virginia, where
the Republicans slyly, thought they had
fixed up a surprise for us, shows that we
we're not mistaken in the Southern States.
We are equally confident Of New York, In
diana and New jersey.

Senator German further remarked that

The assertion that Mr.. Tlden takes no

very shortly. The Democratic committee
has wasted none Of its resources on Ohio.

A THRILLING MOUNTAIN MYSTERY.
The Startling Discovery Made ia tie
Silent Woods on a Lonely Noun
tain Side.
A GRlNkING, CHASTITY SKELETON

NEWARK, n. j., October ia few min.
utes past noon to-day hunter who was
looking for game in the woods on the west
slope of Second Mountain, on the line OF
West Orange and Livingstone townships,
stumbled against something soft in a clump
of bushes and fell on the ground. The hun
ter, on making an investigation, was horri'
fed at seeing the dead body Of man ly-
ing on the ground. Near the body was a
pistol that had been exploded. There was
wound in one side of the head OF the dead
man and the earth under the head was
stained and clotted. The clothing showed
that the body had been exposed to the
weather for several days.
Not Identified.
The hunter hasened to Orange aud no
tilted the police authorities. Marshal Nc
Chesney telegraphei to this city for County
Physician Hewlett and then sent officers
with the hunter Hack to the mountain to
take charge of the body. A number of men
walked from Orange TO the scene, but none
Of them could identify the remains. There
was much excitement occasioned in the
town, however by a report that it was the
skeleton of man that the hunter had seen,
or that the dead man might be the muir
derer OF Phu.le Pauliu, who was murdered
in November last.
County Physician Hewlett arrived on the
mountain late in the afternoon. He found
a number of farmers and idler> from Or
4nge clustered near the BODY, but none OF
hem gave him any iniormotion as to who
Tie suicide probably was. They said that
uone of tEeir nejghbors were missing
There was no signs of struggle at the
place the body lay, and the county physi-
clan was satisfied that the man had crawled
into the c;ump Of bushes to take his lite.
A Guess.
One of the men volunteered the sugges,
ton that the suicide might be Richard
Clark, the freight agent Of the Delaware
Lackawanna 4 Western railroad, at Mont.
clair, who mysteriously disappeared a week
ago last Wednesday morning. He took
away with him some valuables and money
be hac left for safe-keeping in the safe OF
Mr.. Danney, a former partner, and it was
said he had accumulated about $1,000
None of the money Was found. His &C,
counts with the railroad were correct, and
therefore it was thought he wandered oil
while temporarily insane.
County Physician Hewlett did not find
ANYBODY in the neighborhood where the
BODY was found who knew Clark, and
therefore lie left the BODY on the mountain
in charge Of officers and started for this
city.
A man who knew Clark said TO re,
porter this evening that he felt confident
that the suicide is not Clark, for the latter
was probably in England at this moment.

HELP OR We PERISH.

The Tattooed Leader Is Informed that
"the Exigencies of the Campaign Admit
or No Delay'-Elkins Thinks He Ought
to Stay In the West, and Thus The Two
Committees Are at War.
New YoRK, October l9-The enthusias
tic reception to Governor Cleveland BY the
business men of this city and Brooklyn has
carried CONSERVATION into the Republican
camp, and efforts are being made to Offset
these demonstrations by having James e.
Blaine return Immediately to New York.
Mr.. James D. Warren, chairman of the
Republican State Committee, forwarded
dispatch to Mr.. Blaine yesterday marked
"rush," and containing substantially the
following words:
To James G. Blaine:
It Is imperative that you return to this
State Immediately and cancel all Western
engagements. The exigencies of the can
yass admit of no delay.
JAMES ID. WARREN.
Said wellknown Republican at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel yesterday "The fact is We
are in bad way. The Cleveland senti-
ment among the business men is beyond
parallel in political history. Men who four
yeers ago gave their money, their time and
their iDfuegce to Mr. Garfield are either
openly advocating Mr.. Cevcland's election
or will not take the time and trouble to
register and vote. This has closed up many
channels of usefulness to the Blaine cam
paigners, and forces them TO depend largely
for theiI pecuniary assistance upon the
Goulds, Nanderbilts, Fields, Sages, Sloans
and other warm advocates of the
cause Of monopoly. Mr.. Warren
recently visited his home in Buffalo
and returned to this city in bad
humor He found in Buffalo and Erie
County such strong Cleveland sentiment
that be became alarmed and he has de-
cided, as icing directly in chaIge Of the
New York State campaign, that the only
hope Of victory lies in exhibiting Mr.. Blaine
in every large city'in the State.
Hard to Say.
viii Mr.. Blaine do as Nr. Warren
wishes
That is hard to say. The National
Committee which Mr.. ElkinS controls is not
in accord with Mr. Warren's State Com
miltee. Elkins feels dubious about Michi-
ran. Wisconsin, and even Iowa, and in
order to insure the electoral vote there, he
wants Blaine to canvass the Northwest
Warren is so thoroughly frightened at the
progress the Democrats are making here,
that he freely admits, when converSing with
friends, that if Blaine cannot magnetic
and convert the people, New York is hope
lessly lost to the Republicans. / think
Blaine will come out at once though he is
suffering very greatly from physical cx
haustion.'

pie of the Tinted States, which says: eve
may confidently expect majority in Ohio
for Cleveland and Hendricks in NoVem-
ber." The address states that the Blaine
managers expended not less than 10000
il Ohio, and more than 100000 in West
Virginia in their political work; that they en-
ployed in political jobs the men engaged in
the postal service of the United States; that
the payment of veteransby the the Commis-
sioner of Pensions has been delayed by him
with the purpose of coercing them to vote
for Mr. Blaine; that they armed the Mar
shals of the United States and melted them
to violence and outrages; that these abuses
of political power have been committed
with the full sanction of Mr.. Blaine, whom
they made one of their county and ward
workers in the two States, and that the
country is fully aroused and alarmed at the
corrupt influence surrounding Mr.. Blaine
and will reject him for the Presidency. The
address further says that Mr.. Blaine, the
spectators and the corporations have
grown rich, but trade is stagnant.
Decayed.
"The commerce of the country has de-
cayed," says the address. Mills are stand.
idle Where wages have not been stopped
they have been reduced. Mechanics and
laborers go about seeking employment in
vain. Women and children are beginning
to want bread, and vet the farmer cad find
no profitable market for his grain. These
circumstances afford conclusive proof that
a few interests have been cared for by the
Republican managers at the expense Of the
interests ofthe great body of the people.
The address concludes by reminding the
Democracy OF the country that these evils
can be eradicated only by victory in No
vember over the unscrupulous men who are
now endeayoring TO seize the Presidency,
and that this victory can only be assured "
complete organization.
