DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.
Everything Going Their Way in Northwest

Everything Going Their Way In Northwest
ern Ohio.
TOLEDO, O., July 27.-It begins to look
as though there was going be a decided
change in the political complexion Of To-
edo and Lucas county at the coming cleo
ton, and as though the Democrats would
be able to win local victory and make
sure of Democratic Congressman in place
of Mr.. Romeis. The old-time fsctional
fights which for four years have enabled
the Republicans to elect Republican to
Congress from Democratic district are
not likely to play conspicuous part this
year.
Colonel T. E Powell carried the Tenth
District last fall by some 1000 majority,
and it should be good for at least 1000
more in the Presidential contest. Nothing
but q revival Of the ancient and foolish
feuds in the party will permit the elec-
tivn of Republican to the Fifty-frst
Congress.
Gentlemen from the Boothmau District
stated to-day that Saltzgaber, the Demo
cratic candidate, is sure Of election, which
will make gain of two Congressman in
this corner of the State. They all unite
in the declaration that there will be i'm
mense Democratic gains in all the north.
western counties of the State.
l conversed this evening with a young
gentleman who sells paper for large Chi
cago house in nine States, including Ohio.
He said that the Democratic gains in the
Northwestern States would be something
phenomenal. He sells paper to fourteen
German papers in Iowa, all of which have
recently deserted the Republican party and
come out for Cleveland and Thurman. In
his estimation Iowa is a debstsble State,
with the chances in favor Of the Democ-
racy,

JOHANN MOST.
INSPECTOR B0NPIBLD BELIEVES THAT HB
IS TRB ARCH-DYNANIfRR.
The Leading Spirit Of the Chicago Conspiracy
The BOhsmiams Will Be 0onvictsd-Rvi-
dsncs to ImpGcais Most Wanted
Pitsburg Anarchists

CHICAGO, July H.-There is possibil-
ity, if no more, that the prosecution of the
Bohemian dynamite conspirators may re-
suit in the capture and punishment of more
important criminals.
Appearances point to Johann Most as
the arch-conspirator. His trail shows at
intervals all through the plot.
Sites Attorney Longnecker and Inspec-
tor Bonfeld are pretty well satisfied with
tho outlook as to the four Bohemians, but
their hearts yearn for Most. They are
convinced that he belongs in the dock with
the four Bohemians, and no stone will be
left unturned to put him there. This will
be difficult matter, and they do not pre-
tend to deny il. Neither will they move
towards his arrest until his crime can be
brought home to him without chance Of
of Justice.
Bonfield is working steadily and patti
emily, and with considerable hope Of sue
cess. Considerable information, which
from the nature Of things cannot be made
public, is already in his hands, and there
is q chance at every turn that the missing
links may be picked up. 1t can be said,
however, that the documents of various
kinds found in the possession of the pris-
oners lead the trail outside Of Chicago and
in the direction of New York.

RULED BY BANDITS.

The Deeds of q Desperate Band Of Out

SAN FRANCISCO, July Clos Angeles
county has long been terorized by well
armed band of outlaws, whose desperate
deeds and depredations have menaced the
public peace.
The last outrage of which they have
been guilty has aroused the community to
fever heat, and steps are being taken to
revenge it.
Last week the outlaws. headed by Frank
Fry, notorious murderer, raided the cat
tie on General BesPs ranch, near Lancas-
ter. and drove off large herd. As soon
as General Beal heard of the raid he Of
fered reward of $500 each for the cap
ture of the thieves dead or alive. RoDy
Crane, of one Beals head men, and a dar-
ing fighter, started in pursuit of Fray's
band. Fray heard of it, and, eluding his
pursuer, rode into Lancaster at the head OF
his band while Crane was absent. His
men were armed to the teeth. Holding
the angry citizens at bay, they surround
ed Cranes house and burned it to the
ground. The people were powerless to In

WASHINGTON, July N.-Chairman Bar
mum, after stay of twenty-four hours
here, has returned to New York. He says
campaign documents are to cut the princi-
pal figure in the approaching contest, and
that the printers bill will be larger than
all the other expenses put together. Scam
psign documents, 4" says he, "will be sowed
q foot deep over every doubtful and closely
contested State. The Presidents message
will be most extensively used, coupled
with the forthcoming letter of acceptance,
which, those who have seen the first draft
say, Will bea model The tariff speeches
of Carlisle, Mills and few others will 90
heavily. Each Democrat district will also
be favored with speeches of its members.
But the telling documents, those which
will change party lines, are in preparation.
These documents are clear, concise state
ments, backed by indisputable facts, show
ing labor costs of various articles Of pro-
duction."
1t is said that the committee have al
ready in hand tabulated and verified state
ments, proving that the price per ton for
mining coal and iron is lower here than In
England or Germany; that the American
weaver of cotton or wool goods runs more
looms at a greater speed, working more
hours per week and produces far more
yards of cloth than the English weaver,
and gets less per hour for his work, while
hia wages will buy less of his own product
than the wages of the English or German
weaver.

What the Eastern Engineers Say About
Their Chief.
CHICAGO, July 1.-From interviews
with q number Of Eastern engineers, on
their way home from the st. Joe conven-
ton, it is understood that they are satisfied
with the outlook.
They predict that the Burlington will be
forced to make material concessions within
q short time, and that the projected con.
federation will be success.
A New York Central engineer, when
asked how Chief Arthur stands with East
ern men, said: They have grown distrust-
full of Mr.. Arthur, and the events Of the
last two weeks will not tend to allay the
suspicion that he ia not the right man to
have at the head Of great labor organiza-
tinp in case of an emergency. In my opin-
ion, Arthur is good fair weather leader,
but failure when q storm breaks. He
weakened first as soon as he found
that the Burlington was going to
make fight. Instead of max
ing an aggressive fight, he abandoned
the battle field in the heat of the conflict
and went home. He refused to attend the
joint session just ended, and does not hesi-
tate to denouuce any attempt to amalga-
mate the various unions of railroad en-
ployes. He calls that conservatism. We
have different name for 1t, and when the
time comes Mr.. Arthur will learn that his
policy is not endorsed by the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. The plan Of
federation will 20 through, I am sure"

pie and that he is an honest and able man.
I would like to see him triumph, because
believe his election would mean Q vic

honestly believe that he is going 10 be elect

He is an excellent person and has always

Leo P. Dwyer was elected to the Legis-

beat the regular Republican and Demo

Dwyer's stand in favor of the Democratic

heard it, and the news rapidly spread to

CONTRACT LABOR

Imported In Violation of the Lsw-rhe In
vestigation Mt New York.
NEW YORK, July 27.-The Congression-
al Committee on immigration began its
work here yesterday. The Investigation
was conducted with special reference to
violations of the contract labor law. The
first witness was E. L. Boas, of the Ham
burg line of steamships. He stated that
40 per cent. of the immigrants on his line
came on prepaid tickets, sold by agents in
New York City, of whom there were about
5000. These agents generally sold tickets
on commission, getting S3 per ticket. He
then went on to explain at some length
the manner if handling immigrants after
their arrival, and stated that the immi-
grants were allowed no choice as to which
road they would travel west over, and
often friends were separated and sent west
by different routes. No examination was
required for passage at the European ports
beyond q paper showing permit to leave.
VIM. Coverly, Of the Anchor Line, tes-
titled that it was absolutely impossible for
the steamship to prevent the emigrants
who had contracts to work on this side
from coming over here. The emigrants
were not driven on board, he said, but
came there voluntarily, and his company's
ships were there ready to carry emigrants.
1t was impossible for the company or its
agents to ascertain in each case what mo-
tive induced the emigrant to come to this
country.
After recess the Committee called Angelo
Antonio De Derro an emegrant from
Italy. who arrived here April 9th last.
In Italy before he left his native cline he
was certain of steady work from eight to
ten months each year. He heard that
man was making up a party to come to
this country, and he joined the expedition
But for this mans persuasions
he would not have thought of coming here.
He did not have to pay anything for HE
passage. He had no money. All he had
to do was to agree to pay 200 francs out of
the first money he earned here. There
were twenty-five of them in the party
when he left his native village for Naples.
The agent came here with them and found
them work in Albany, N. Y. Witness
worked twenty-five days and received
$27.5O, of which he paid the
all but So, and still owes him $35. so on
account. Could live on 40 cents day,
two meals at Is cents each and 10 cents for
lodging. At present he is living on
credit, having put mn his clothes as Sc
s-.ieJ. He was very ANXIOUS 70 go bcoi.
