COLUMBUS, OHIO, October 2O.-The excite
ment and indignation that were created about
noon yesterday continued during the entire
day, and the manipulators, forgers, and blood
lers' that fixed up the tally sheet in the inter-
est OF the democratic candidates would have
been made short work of had they been appre-
hended. The streets were filled with excited
and indignant people. all anxious that the
fraud should be sifted and the guilty prose-
cuted. When the democratic candidates were
shown the sheets and the evidences that alter
atoms had been made they denounced the
fraud, and through their attorneys gave notice
that they would accept no certificate if their
election was secured by the steal appeared
on the tally sheet When the board of can
vassers met at five O'Clock two OF the demo
cratic candidates that would be benefited by
the forgery urged that the 800 steal be elimi-
mated, which was done, leaving the field TO the
OF the election.
During the early part of the evening the ex-
cltement was at its highest pitch and there was
movement made by the more excitable to
call an Indignation meeting at the city hall.
This, however, was discouraged by the more
conservative and cooler ones, and ii is quite as
well that the meeting was not held. The tenn
per OF the people was in no condition for pub
lie gathering. The humiliation OF the demo-
cratic candidates is noticeable. They feel that
they have been disgraccd i'm the eyes of the
community. The clerk OF the board, Mr.. Joyce,
is severely censured. He was the custodian of
the poll books and sheets. and should have
known whether they were locked i'm the safe or
had been stolen and taken away on Saturday.
The work done required great deal of time.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STARR
LONDON, October 20.-Greek met Greek In
the ELECTORAL campaign last night and all po-
litical England to-day is ringing with the
echoes of their blows. Mr.. Chamberlain ad-
dressed the liberal association at Birmingham.
Lord Randolph Churchill spoke at Kings Lynn.
The speeches were aimed at each other and are
very lively reading. Chamberlain referred to
Lord Randolph as ''the author of that extraor-
binary rigmarole," his electoral address; "a col
orless document" "a penny novelist and ..an
ignorant schoolboy." Lord Randolph charged
Chamberlain with interested motives, with
being intensely dishonest and flagrantly i'm
moral, and said his radical suggestions were
utterly hopeless utterly absurd, with no more
chance of success than project for colonizing
the moon. Chamberlain's reply to Lord Sails
bury's attack at Brighton was most effective.
Lord Salisbury, he said, objects to our scheme
that local authorities have power to buy land
at fair price. He said that whenever the gov
eminent had to take land for the purpose of the
security, comfort, prosperity and health, or
even to provide for the lives of the people, the
privileged land owners exacted an extortionate
price. Mr.. Chamberlain gave an Instructive il
iustratiOn. The board OF works proposed TO
carry a street through densely peopled neigh
borhood, and lessen the cost for Improvement
by the increased value which the new street
would give TO the th0r0ugh1are. One great land
owner opposed the bill, demanding the 'front.'
age along the whole of his property. This meant
that the land was to be bought from him at its
prospective value, he to have compensation for
severance, and ten per cent for the compulsory
sale added to the enormous profit OF turning
his property on the front of great new thor
oughfare. The commons rejected the clause
and the lords inserted il. The commons threw
it out without division. Said Chamberlain,
"Who do you think was this land owner? II was
