cane. AS he was uniformly victorious
in his engagements, his Chinese sol
diers considered the cane to be magic

Gen. Green b. Raum addressed the

sturdy yeOmanry Of this county,
composed in large part Of farmers.
Gen. Raum held the close and un.

in a speech Of two hours, discuss
ing the splendid financial system
adopted and carried into execution
by the republican party, the great
issue in this campdign-the pr0tec-

the republican party as to the

speech has had "A telling effect.

known before the war as the tenth
legion Of democracy. This year,

This year Blaine and Logan will
poll 5000 votes, and carry the
county by 800 majority.

whereas the democrats have gained
in the county. Thus in Columbus
the republicans gained, but in the
back townships Of Franklin we
have gained enough to keep the
democratic majority where it was.
This will be found to be the case in
the townships Of other strong
democratic counties not yet heard
from, and the republican majority
will be reduced to below 10000.
The republican leaders do not
cOncede this, but they are on the
lookout for reductions below the
high figures set at a late hour last
night. They talk Of improper
manipulations, but say that under
the conditions of the campaigns and
and the fact of Ohio having been
carried by the democrats two years
in succession, any majority Is a
triumph. Thus the leaders are
watching for the final returns.
