haIf.past one o'clock, charge was being
rammed into the gun, when a premature
explosion occurred, bursting the gun

and his arm amputated near the elbow,

NJ. j. O'Neal, whose name is in the list,

Ono of the Best Posted Politicians In the
stato Gives Harrison u Majority OF
$4,000.
CIScINNATr, November 4.-Though
the campaign is made up in Hamilton
county, the excitement is greater than
at any previous time. The proposition
of United States Marshal Urner to ap.
point Deputy Marshals has stirred up a
hornets nest. To-day the Board OF
Elections unanimously requested that no
appointments be made; so did the Police
Commissioners. Ii the appointments
are made trouble may be the result.
In Hamilton county the greatest inter
est centers in the race for County Clerk
There is bitter opposition to Cox, the
Republican, because OF his saloon
record, and he will run thousands be-
hind his ticket, and there is a proba-
bility Of his defeat. A sharp fights be-
ing made against Caldwell, Republican,
for Congress in the First district, largely
on the same grounds, and there is some
fear that he will not pull through. The
majority in the district is not large, and
there is some dissatisfaction over the
failure TO renominate General Brown.
Advices from Clermont and other
counties in this district now represented
by Campbell, Democrat. show that the
Republicans will win. The Democratic
majority two years ago was but 2, and
the Republicans OF Clcrmont county had
a fight which has been settled.
Pugsley, Republican, will be elected
in the Ross-highland district, and the
Portsmouth district will also go Repub-
lican by large majority.
Wm. b. Smith, Republican, the best
informed politician in Cincinnati, says
Harrison has 25,00O in the State, and
the Democrats will gain one Congress.

At Least Two Congressman for

Wes. Virginia will go for Protection
tomorrow. There is no longer any rea'
son to hold back this interesting infor'
nation. The State has been twice polled
by the State Committee, under the most
thorough organization any party has
ever had in West Virginia.
Tie first poll showed that majority
Of the people Of this young commen-
wealth have swung into line for Protec-
ton aud will vote the Republican ticket
4, the only way to secure what they
waat The second poll copfirms!t the first
aadadds to the majority. The INTELLI-
CEScER's own advices corroboratc those
Of the State Committee.
West Virginia will cast her electoral
vote for Harrison, Morton and Protec-
ton. Golf will be the next Governor.
The legislature will be Republican by a
greater majority than the Democrats had
in the Legislature elected two years ago.
Atkinson will be elected to Congress
in the First district, Flick in the second,
with more than an even chance to get
oncout OF the two remaining districts.
There will certainly be u gain OF one
Congressman, with a fair prospect OF
gaining two.

My DEAR SlR:-I was surprised and
disappointed that l did not see you and
have an opportunity to converse with
you when you were in the city. And
when met you at Wormley's during
the week that you were here, the Cabi-
net sat some times five hours { ny and
five days out OF the seven, upon some
matters connected with the Tariff Com
mission and the like, and in that way I
was prevented from seeing my friends.
] regret that you have concluded to sur
render your appointment. wish l had
something pleasanter and more impor-
tant to tender you, but the position of
District Attorney, though modest MS
compared with your claims and merits,
is yet one of distinction and authority.
The office is the only one that really
represents the executive dignity of the
United States in local districts. How
ever, you un, erstand your own affairs,
and If they beckoh to you and command
you to surrender this place it must be
done. 1t would be troublesome to fill
the place, and l cannot look for
another Of your rank and dignity upon
whom could bestow it. You make me
very happy by your pleasant allusion to
our occasional intercourse. am i'm
pressed with sense of respect and re-
gard for you which I am glad to see by
this letter you, too, feel. There is a
golden link OF gentlehood between men
who cultivate those relations throughout
all the world. / hope that between us
that link never will be broken. l thank
you most cordially for your kind offers
OF attention tome, and believe me II ever
l have the opportunity or occasion l
will not fail to accept them. Never be
in Washington without giving me an
opportunity of seeing you. 1 feel as if
l had lost something when 1 remember
as read your letter, that you were here
and l hardly had the chance to exchange
a word with you.
