THE STATE ASSOCIATIONS.
Their Present Activity Fever Eaualed
in ANY Previous Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Three hundred
of the 993 members of the Ohio Republican
Association, made up of department
clerks, have gone to Ohio to vote. In or
der to evade the civil service law tbev
sent the bulk of their political contribu-
tiOns directly to the State Central Com
mittee in Ohio, and depended on the lat
ter for transportation in the case of indi-
gent voters. Last night the Ohio State
Central Committee telegraphed that il

pose. M. ID. Months, a Treasury clerk.
claims credit for getting up the scare in
the departments which has frightened 80
many Ohio men home.
The West Virginia Republican Asso-
citation only embraces about thirty men.
Most of them will be at the polls on Tues
Day. Ihere are 200 members in the New
YORK Republican Association. Every
one, its President says, will 90 home to
vote. They evade the civil service laws
by having non-officeholders for Financial
Secretary and Treasurer who have col
lected large sums. The 375 members of
the Indiana Republican Association have
been most active in evading the law by
means of so-called benevolent society
composed of members of the association.
IL VIII be remembered that one of their
AGENTS was detected leaving assessment
circulars on clerks desks in the Post Of
hce Department early in the campaign.
There are 700 men in the PENNSYLVANIA
Association. Six hundred at least will
90 home to vote, Many of the members of
their association have ignored Clapp's
Committee, sending their contributions
directly to their States Committees. The
activity OF the State Associations this
year is almost unprecedented.

The EVentful Biography of Marietta L.
Stow, of California.
Mrs. Marietta L. Stow, Vice Presidential
candidate OF the Belva Lockwood ticket,

had an eventful life. She was born of
farming parents in Webster, Monroe
county, N. Y, nearly half century ago.
She learned the alphabet after her ninth
birthday. She could cook, keep house,
sew, knit, wash iro1, spin and weave be-
fore she could read. At ID she was a
school teacher. At 10 she was married to
e. f. Bell, merchant of Cleveland, o.,
and at the age of % was widow and
chlldless. She took up her residence in
New York city, where she became identi-
fed with humanitarian work. She was
an officer with Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Beattie.
Judge EdmOnds, Rev. DR.. Bellows and
other distinguished women and men in an
association for the protection of shop
girls.
During the war she gave material aid
to destitute disabled slldieTs and the in
digent orphan daughters of our cOunfry's
defenders from the proceeds OF her public
entertainments and lectures. In 1866 she
was married TO j. w. Stow, a hardware
merchant of San Francisco, who died in
1874. Four years ago she was nominated
on both Greenback tickets for school di-
rector of San Francisco and called the

The RedistrIbntion sohema.

LONDON, Oct. 12.-The MARQUIS of
Harrington, Secretary of State for War,
in speech delivered at ChatswOrth rark
yesterday, admitted that he had seen a
draft of the government redistribution
bill before it was published in the London
Standard. 1t had been submitted to a
committee which was to endeavor to put
the proposals of Gladstone into practical
shape. He censured the method by which
the Standard obtained a copy of the
scheme.
Consultations among the Conservative
leaders have resulted in a decision on
their part to reject the redistribution
scheme, TO maintain their opposition to
the franchise, and to try to force dissO-
luton of Parliament. If the Queens
speech omits mention Of the proposal to
increase the strength of the navy, Lord
Henry Lennox Liberal Conservative
will move an amendment to the address
on the state of the navy. The Irish party
will move amendments censuring the
government for refusing to inquire into
the Maamtrasna confessions, and attack
ing the manner in which the trial of the
Dublin scandal cases was conducted.

YOUNG, BUT THEY MARRIED.
Recent Wedding Which Interests a
BROOKLYN Grammar SchnnI

| Recent Wedding Which Interests a
Brooklyn Grammar School.
There is much gossip in Brooklyn social
circles, says the New York World of Oct,
., over the recent marriage Of Miss Mabel
Ruth, OF No. 127 Garfield place, school
| girl of sweet 1G, and Fred Cook, or Fifth
avenue, South Brooklyn, who, though
| more advanced in years is not yet self
supporting. The ceremony took place
| two weeks ago Sunday, but was in the
| nature OF an elOpement, the young couple
| carefully yelling their action from the
sight of relatives or friends. A notice Of
the marriage appeared IN one of
the brooklyn papers, but es-
| capped the eye of the brides stern
parent. A younger brother saw il.
however, and told his ''pa," and scene
ensued. 1t seems that Fred Cook had
| been attentive 20 Miss Ruth for some
time, but his suit was discouraged by her
father because Cook was doing nothing.
The girl was so badly affected bv the dis
missal of her suitor that the father made
a last desperate effort and got Cook a
good position, but he held it for only few
days. The match was then broken off
peremptoTily. The lovers met again. how
ever, and planned secret marriage.
which they carried out. When summon
ed before her father Miss Ruth was asked
why she had taken such an unWIse steD.
Her explanation was unsatisfactory, and
on the following day she was put aboard
train for Washington and sent to the
protecting care OF an aunt In that city.
1t is said that she will be put in school
there and Will be obliged to remain until
the three years course is completed.
The strictest surveillance is to be oh
served and not letter is to pass between
young Mrs. Cook, of Washington, and Mr..
Cook, of Brooklyn, until it has been read
by the guardian aunt. Additional interest
is lent the case from the fact that Mrs.
Cook (nee RUTH was an attendant at
Grammar School No. o, on Wilson street.
where the Higbie girl and young Vaughn
attended, whose marriage is now in the
higher court awaiting a decision regard
ing its legality. Miss Ruth had scarcely
flown from the educational nest on VIII
son street when the celebrated Mrs.
Vaughn, or Miss Higbie, applied to her
former teacher to be taken back as n
scholar. 1t is said that when asked &hy
she didn't come back before, the child re-
piled: 81 would have, dear teacher, but I
was afraid you wouldn't take n married
woman"
The two cases of secret marriage have
completely upset the grammar school.

MINISTER MOTIONS WORK.
RumOrs that Four Cabinet Officers viii
Take the stump for Blaine.

Take the stump for Blaine.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Levi z. Nor
toms presence here creates much gossip.
Mr.. Morton himself says that he is here
merely to call on his official chief at the
State Department, as in courtesy he is
bound to do before returning to France.
But another theory is that he is here to
stir up the members of the Cabinet, who
are, with the exception of Secretary
Chandler and possibly Secretary Teller,
Indifferent as to the election of Mr.. Blaine,
on account of their contempt for him. Mr..
MortOn's efforts to get them to take the
field for the Republican ticket, il
not for Blaine, have resulted
in semi-Ofiicial announcement
tonight that Secretaries Chandler,
Teller, Gresham and Lincoln will take the
stump in support of the nominees Of the
Republican party.
The official who gave this bit of infOrma-
tiOn out was exceedingly anxious that it
should be telegrsphed tonight to Ohio for
effect there tomorrow. 1t is safe to say that
the speeches made by Secretaries Gres-
ham AID Lincoln will strongly resemble
the speech of Senator Edmunds at Bur-
lngton this fall.
The understanding now is that Secre-
tary Gresham will remain in the Treasury
Department.
Should the Democrats succeed next
month Justice Bradley will
probably think best to re-
tire from the Supreme Court, and in
that case Secretary Gresham will sue
ceed him. This Is the place which Secre-
tary Gresham desires, and the place
which he particularly does not desire is
the seat on the circuit bench, just vacated
by Judge Drummond.
