MI has developed at late hour that ut
lie meeting Of the Republican Executive
committee tonight, the members Of which
conferred with Blaine. that Dudley re-
forted poll Of the State which showed
about $1,000 more Democratic votes In the
State than there ore Republicans.
The report Is that this consumed the time
OF the committee in discussion, and after
going over the ground Il was estimated
how much money would he needed TO
carry the election, and 1t was decided to
have It here by Sunday.
Farwcll, OF Chicago. who is here, il said
to lie down for two hundred thousand Of
the amount. and that a similar instament
is TO arrive from New York by Sunday
evening.
The Democratic Posiusn-cuicti, But tn

\ Columbus (Ohiol special TO the Wash
ingion Star, dated yesterday. says: The
Democratic position IN this State at the
wcsent moment may he briefly outlined.
thus: They are doing little shouting, but
are quietly but intensely hopeful OF carry
Ing Ohio next Tuesday. The returns from
the county managers and the general sur
face indications, as they figure IL. fully JUS
tiiy these hopes Bnt, fully understanding
n they do the supreme importance TO the
Republicans Of a victory IN this state on
the l4th, they cannot allow themselves
10 believe that the Blaine managers
will permit Ohio TO go Democratic,
unless their trlImp-cards are already
exhausted and their uttermost ef-
forts put forth. As 4 weli-known Demo-
cratic campaignpr expressed il this morn
ing: II we are defeated in Ohio next
week. we will have lost a position. II the
Republicans are defeated. they will have
lost the battle. Only rOut. slaughter. and
disaster will await them in November. II
We carry OHIO next Tuesday, give Blaine
The electoral votes Of but eight states.
Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, California,
Oregon, Connecticut. and perhaps New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, will 20 for
Cleveland. New York was never in doubt
Some Of this is very wild talk, but il serves
TO show how the Democrats are looking ut
the matter. They do not intend 10 claim
Ohio. Some OF their shrewdest calcunt)rs
even concede Ohio to the Republicans, and
say they will be satisfied il they can keep
the majority within 10000. They do not
fear the moral effect Of such Republican
majority on the election in New
York or other doubtful States. The
fact that Ohio went Republican by 1000
In October, 1876. and Tilden still carried
New York and Indiana in November
Is pointed 10 ~ a justification OF this posi-
ton. 81 saw to-day said a Democrat,
ga letter from Illinois declaring emphatic
ally that Harrison would be elected Gov
ernor, ard that the State would 20 for
Cleveland il the Republican majority in
Ohio was kept below 10000 next week.
Tie Germans the letter said, " were solid
for Cleveland, aud the writer closed by eX-
pccting tie Democrats q! Ohio 10 keep the
Republican majority below 10000" These
things show bow much the Democrat,
think they would gain by victory in thi.
State on the l4lh. ON the other hand, it
can hardly be denied that the Republicans
have much more TO lOse--CYrrything-by
defeat. The lavish aud corrupt Use OF
money is what the Democrats profess 10
fear most. Could this be- eliminated from
tie problem, they say. thew are quit conf
dent the State would give them good ma
iorily.
The usual charges and counter-charge,
Of attempted colonization Of voters from
other States are now being made very free.

my published dispatch from Washington
giving notice OF the departure OF large
numbers Of Iepeaters and pug-uglcs from
Baltimore under charge Of q wcll-kDOwn
Democrat. This evening communication
slencd " Baltimorean" appeared in the
Times, declaring that there were many OF
these negro roughS from Baltimore already
in this city. and referring the public and the
police to a Republican striker for their
names and the objects which brought them
here. There are infallible signs that an
election IS in the immediate temporal vi
ciniiy.
