GOOD NEWS FROM OHIO.
Fl. H. Fulton, president of the Indianapolis
Machine and Steel Pulley Company, returned to
the city last night from an extended trip through
tie iron districts OF Ohio and Pennsylvania.
'The Ohio Republicans" Mr.. Fulton.remarked
to a journal reporter last night, ''are better Or
gained and are more enthusiastic than they
have ever been before. 1 had supposed that the
newspaper reports in regard to what they were
doing over there were greatly exaggerated, but
l find that they are not-they do not tell half.
Business in northeastern Ohio is entirely sus-
pended. Manufacturers, at their own expense,
are uniforming and equipping their employees,
and, besides sending them from one place to
another to attend meetings, they are paying for
the transportation"
Then business must be practically suspend
edr
- talked with men who are at the head of i'm
mense industries, who said that it was useless to
attempt to do any work until after the election.
At Akron, a place of less than 20, 900 population,
there we're 30. 900 to near Senator Logan speak.
At Wooster there were 6, 900 men who carried
OIShNo GU hlShbt ohA eAA VI OAOO " " u tlAC
State is preparing to meet Blaine at Massillon
on Thursday. Many of the Democrats concede
the State to Blaine by from 5000 to 10, 900 on
the electoral vote. l did not find a man, Re
publican or Democrat, who could express a reli-
able opinion as to the esult next week. The
parties have never been so torn to pieces on
local issues as this year. The Republicans are
s~anguine. In Pennsylvania every thing is so
one-sided that there is no fun. There are strong
indications of an early revival of the iron bust
ness, if Blaine is elected, which is, in my hum
Bile opinion, a dead sure thing"
PERSONAL AND LOCAL NOTES.
Hon. Stanton j. Peelle will speak at West
Newton on Thursday evening, Oct. 9, at 1880.
Mayor J. L. McMaster and Frank McCray will
address the citizens of West indianapolis this
evening, at 1870.
Hon Stanton J. Peelle will speak at engine
house No. 10, on Madison avenue, on Monday
evening, Oct. Is, at 1870.
James Taw, the first lieutenant of a company
of Cleveland and Hendricks escort guards, has
resigned on account of the treatment of the
Democratic county committee and their failure
to fulfill their promises to the members of the
company.
N. R. Peckinpaugh, of L~eavenworth, in a
letter to Republican headquarters, says: Every
where that l have been in Harrison county l
have found Democrats who say that they will
vote for Blaine and Logan"
The joint discussion between Major John O..
Cravens and Collector" Holman, the candidates
for Congress in the Fourth district, is becoming
somewhat embarrassing TO the latter. Wherever
they speak, hand bills are circulated, asking
them, ''Where do you standl Are you for free
trade or the protection of American industry
Are you oppo449A tt3 tie mmorrison tariff reduction
billl Shall American wool growers be protected|
Mr.. Cravens answers these questions unequivo-
cally and explains satisfactorily where he stands,
but they are the cause of much embarrassment
to Mr.. Holman.
