Cleveland at Buffalo.


From he New }Art lifArtd;
GOV. Cleveland is back at his office in the
Capitol attending to his official duties. He is
well pleased with his visit 10 Buffalo. And
well be may be. Few men in this great
Union could, under any CIRCUMSTANCES, have
obtained such an ovation from their old
neighbors as was tehderel Gov. Cleveland in
Buffalo last Thursday night. As great as
was the spontaneous welcome of the masses,
there was deeper and profounder signifi.
canoe in the personal respect paid him by the
callers on Friday. Venerable bishops, clergy
men, MERCHANTS, professional men, represen-
tatiyes of every honnrsd calling, and the best
ladies and purest women of the city honored
themselves by honoring the man and thereby
set their seal of contempt and condemnation
upon the vile creatures who have sought to
Islander him. Gov. Cleveland has right to
feel proud and the people of the whole Union
have a right to feel proud of Gov. Cleveland.

How It Looks in Ohio.
IN tie Philadelphia Times.

From tie Philadelphia Times.
COLUMBUS, Oct. This is the first cam
paign in many years in Ohio when the Demo
cratic managers have not claimed everything.
1t is the first campaign in Presidential year
when they have had any reason whatever to
claim anything. They are now expecting the
Republicans to carry the State, bat hoping
otherwise. The Republicans are expecting
to carry the State, but fearing otherwise.
The Democrats get much encouragement from
the fact that in 1888, for the first time in the
year preceding Presidential election, they
carried the State on a total vote that was but
5000 short of that given for President in $780,
The Republicans are banking largely upon
the fact that they have never lost the State in
October of Presidential year. If the cleo
ton were held here to-day there is scarcely IL
doubt that it would be Democratic, and the
Democrats hope it may be so a week hence.
The coming six days, however, will develop
DudIey's work. Money is going out freely,
and the Democrats themselves admit the pos
sibility of the out-and-out purchase of ma
jority of anywhere from twelve to fifteen
thousand.

The Need of the Hour.

The need Of the hggr is q change, F9r q
quarter of century the Republican party has
been in power ruling only to ruin. 1t has in
fected every public department with corrup-
ton: 1t has degraded public morals, encour-
aged extravaganza, elevated wrongdoers and
rewarded with the highest positions in its
gift those least deserving and most unfit.
The country through it is to-day bereft of
most of the advantages which should accrue
by its natural development. Instead Of the
industries of the nation being prosperous and
the men employed thereby living comfortably
and happily the reverse is the case. Miners
are idle, Mill-emplayees aFe turning Yasrants,
merchants are complaining and farmers.
though blessed with double crops, are paid
Improbable prices for their products. There
is need of change. 1t must come now and
for that end it is the duty of every laboring
man to strive. 1t must be brought by turning
out of power the party which admits its re-
sponsibility for this state of things.

Cleveland's Boom in New York.

The great majority of the business men OF
New York have heretofore been against the
Democratic party. Four years ago they Or
ganized clubs, held large open-air meetings
and aided very materially the election of Gar
field. They contributed largely to the Re-
publican campaign fund.
This year the majority are for Cleveland,
and they are doing for him what they did for
Garfield in 1880. The first of a series of bus
mess mems meetings was held on Thursday
afternoon, and it was the largest gathering
of the kind held since the war. One Of the
speakers was Ex-G Gov. Solomon, of Wiscon-
sin, who voted for Lincoln and for every Re-
publican successor.
AT night the Democrats held grand ratif-
cation meeting, which was attended by l0O,-
900 persons. Speeches were made from five
stands. Before the meeting upwards of 25,-
600 uniformed men had parade.

The Situation as It Is.
From the Washinqton Post.

From the Washington Post.
Whatever confidence the Republicans may
feel as to the outcome of the campaign results
from long and HHinteHqpted tenure Of power.
They have been in so long that they cannot
imagine themselves going out. They recall
the fact that, even when voted out in 1876,
they still staid in. They find encouragement
in the reflection that, when defeat stared them
in the face four years ago, they bought a VIC
tory with millions of money derived from the
sale of legislation and the bartering of Offices.
They have come to regard themselves as per.
manently fixed in the control of the country,
whether in minority or majority, and agree
with SeBqtar Hoar that the election Of Cleye-
Land will be a mere conspiracy:
AS for any substantial basis for Republican
confidence it does net exist, i cannot he

wall of despair than shout of victory.

From the Ne,c York World:

From the Nep York World:
The evidence is now produced that Mr..
Blaine purchased and became possessed OF
one block of the stock of the Hope Furnace
TRACT Association, in the Hooking Valley, in
1880, of the valHe Of s2l 900; that he paid for
same by draft on Steve Elkins, Qf Stqp.rayte
n0t0riety, the present manager Of the Blaine
campaign, and that he subsequently received
in exchange thePeRaF $50, 900 Of the first mort
gage bonds of the Standard Goal and Iron
Company, of the Hooking Valley. These
bonds acere transferred to Steve EIkins and
receipted for by him son account Of James G.
Blaine
IT is thus proved by documentary evidence
that Mr.. Rlaine's letter, written on July p
last, addressed to ''Hon. H. S. Bundy," deny
ing that the writer had eyer ''owned share
of stock in any coal, iron or land company in
the State of Ohio" was deliberate and viii

Every Democrat should read the letter of
Hon. Samuel j. Tilden in response to resolu-

Convention and presented to him by spec

country that reform is necessary to the pre-

Democratic party is the organization best
qualified to work reform. A change is de-
manded, he says, and the change should be
wrought by the election of the Democratic

Tuesday was a cold day for Blaine. The
papers that day contained the letter of resig
nation of DR.. 4. w. Forest, an elector on the
Blaine ticket of New York; documents show
ing Blaine's connection with the Hooking
Valley (Ohio) coal and iron monopoly, whose
employees to the number of $4,000 are now
idle; and letter from Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher showing that Blaine had offered to
appoint congressional committee to suit the
purposes ofone James F. Joy, of Detroit, il
he Joy would enable him (Blaine) to dis,
pose of some deprecated bonds at par. DR..

he ''cannot conscientiously support James G.
