I'VE have information That we can carry

our mans are. but we can carry the State,

will be a political revolution in Hamilton

Evolution 2"
"Well, there are many Republicans who
voted for Robinson Tuesday who will not
vote for Blaine. But the principal reion
is that Hamilton county was carried by
The Republicans Tuesday by the most
shameless terrorism, bulldozing. and fraud
ever known in the politics Of the Site.
Why. 1t was an outrage. There were 800
deputy marsbals, many OF them being the
most desperate characters-regular thugs
and toughs. They banded together. regard
less Of negroes. OF criminals, and took pos
session OF the polls In many precincts.
They were armed with immense bulldog
revolvers. ard they simply run the election
to suit themselves. Talk about buld3zing
in the South! There never was any worse
case oil bulldozing anywhere than Repub-
Leans resorted to last Tuesday. Hundreds
OF pcaceable citizens were afraid to 60 to
the polls and could not get TO vote. Why,
the man in whose house lived tried four
times 10 vote, but was not allowed to yet
near the ballot-hox. II was burning
shame. The Republican majority in Gin
cinnati repre- sents fraud and intimids-
ton, and not the honest will Of the people.
Following Republican precedent, the Dem
cratic Returning Board would be justified
In throwing the vote Of Hamilton county
out, but the citizens OF all parties are dis
gilsted with such high.handed outrages,
aud will express their Indignation by piing
up majority for Clevelsnd and Hendricks
next month. / tell you they will do it.
Hamilton county will knock 6,000 off the
Republican majority.
The sunday journal says to-day: 1--WE
believe that the late election in Ohio was
carried for the Republicans mainly by
fraud, intimidation, and the lavish use OF
money, and that these frauds cannot operate
in November as they did last Tuesday. We
believe that there are more Republicans
that will vote for Cleveland thln the whole
Republican majority amounted TO Tuesday.
We believe that with proper effort the
State can be carried for Cleveland at the
coming election.
A Washington special says: The deputy
maIshals did such excellent service in Obi,
that the Republican managers have decided
TO mass them in Indiana at the November
election. They claim that while New York
and New Jersey may both 90 Republican,
they can win without either II they carry
Indiana. assuming that Connecticut will
fall into line of its own voltion. They do
not consider the chances OF losing any
northern States excepting New York. New
Jersey, and Indiana, and Of these three they
prefer to concentrate all available force, OF
money, men. and officials in the last. Colo
mel Dudley, notwithstanding Deputy Com
missioner Clarke's refusal to sign the eX-
pense accounts OF pension officials on duty
in Ohio, and notwithstanding his conduct
is being looked into by the Interior Depart
ment, is preparing to go to his OVID State
and there engage ia manipulation OF cleo
ton. day forces with even a more intimate
knowledge Of the ground than he had in
Ohio. 1t is predicted that the excitement
of election day in Indiana will more than
equal that in Ohio last Tuesday. Authori-
ty will be given for the appointment OF any
number OF deputy-marshals requested.
