either LUX ewarm or opposed to the Cleveland
cause in Ohio, is to the effect that though
the result of the election in that State has
heretofore been considered doubtful by cool,
dispassionate and well-informed men there,
the indications now are that the democrats
have not only the best chance of carrying
the State next October, but that unless they
do carry it the most knowing men there
will be egregiously disappointed. The re-
publicans there have got an inkling Of the
change that has taken place already and of
Others that will occur, and are terribly alarm
ed in consequence, because if they lose Ohio
thew know the jig will be up with them,
and to offset their losses they will put the
whole of the $3.50, 600 they have in their
treasury, except what must be spent to
maintain their majority in their candidates
own State, into the canvass there. But all
this has been taken into consideration and
provided for, according to the referred to
intelligence.
Mr.. Ochltree declined to accept the re-
publican nomination for Congress in the
Galveston district, Texas, because he knew
he could not be reelected, and will be pro-
vided for by his friend Mr.. Mackay, the
bouanza king. Ochiltree was not elected
as republican, and the whole eleven OF
the Texas delegation in the next House
will be democrats, the member from the
Galveston district being a young native
Texan, w. H. Grain.
A letter received here to-day by General
Denver, from cool headed aud well posted
prominent local democrat in Nevada, says
that the republican detection has extended
to that State, that the republicans there
manifest but little interest and no enthu'
sas m in the campaign, that the democrats
on The contrary, are full Of hope and spirit
aud that Cleveland will carry the State by
decided majority. The letter also states
that all the news there from California Is
favorable to the democrats. So it seems
that in the lar West as in the East the peop' {
are tired of sectioualis and are determined
to have national President once more.
A we'll known Virginia republican just

there was nobody else in sight. He says
that Mayo is as much opposed to Malone
as anybody else in the ex-boss's party, and

effect. He also says that if the democrats
nominate the right man in the district Mayo
will be easily defeated, as he is not the sort
of man to command the vote of some of the
white republicans in the district.
