opinion that the powers should agree
upon a plan Of action in East Africa,
but that each power should act indie

The North German Gd:eitc again pleads

TO iomcnt Il revolt in East Africa.
The Cologne Ga:fiit, IN an inspired
article, says that Germany's iirst duty Is
to demand satisfaction for the murder oI
her subjects, aud then to cooperate
with the powers to suppress the slave

that end, it says, is to blockade, with the

AN OUTRAGEOUS PLOT.

Out Mt Headquarters.
speeiai DispaicA 70 tAs IaieIipeAaI
NEw YoRK, Oct. 3l.--As the election
approaches the desperation Of the Dem.
ocratlc managers is becoming more and
more apparent each day. They were
certain Of carrying Indiana, New Jersey,
Connecticut and West Virginia two
weeks ago. At least they boastfully an.
nounccd these facts. To-day they quietly
admitted that these States are all doubt
full, and they privately talked oieuccess
by desperate taCtics. They have become
so alarmed over their private advices
which have been received within the
past ten days from Indiana that they
have resolved TO resort to heroic meas
ures in order 10 carry the State. A gen.
tleman who stands very high in Demo-
cratic circles In this city but who Is a
strong Protectionist, md Mt the same
time bitter hater OF Cleveland, said to-
night that he had heard from authorita-
tive sources the details Of the scheme by
which Chairman Barnum and Chairman
Brice hoped to save Indiana for the
Democratic ticket. He said that week
ago information was laid before the
Democratic National Committee TO the
effect that the State was lost uuless some
desperate measures were Immediately
taken TO stop the stampede TO the Re-
publican ranks. This informant stated
that in many circles In Indiana Cleve-
land was about the best hated man in
that country; that all the friends OF Hen
bricks would go 10 the polls quietly on
election day andge even by putting the
knife into the Democratic electoral
ticket; that Cleveland's action in heap.

Vice President Hendricks had embitter-
ed thousands OF Democrats in that State,
and they were going to get even this
fall. After this statement was thorough
" discussed in the National Committee,
It was decided that the only possible
way out OF the difficulty was to carry the
State by purchase.
II was estimated that at least G,O00
votes could be bought at reasonable fig

within the means Of the committee. II
was then decided that u sum of money
should be immediately sent to that
State TO be used there on election day.
The sum stated us having already gone
approximates to 100000. This money
has been and is being sent in small sums
to different trusted leaders in different
sections Of the State with instruction to
check ii to the Chairman OF the Demo-
cratic State Committee at indianapolis.
The object for sending the money in
this way was to prevent the fact being
known that large sum was to be used
by the Democrats to buy the electoral
vote, and thus prevent the Republicans
from taking Il step to put stop to the
frauds. The fact, however, has become
known and the full details OF the plot
will be made public within short time.

NEW York, Oct. Sl.-!The Sackville.
West trouble still continues to be the
main topic Of conversation in political
circles here. The action Of the Presi-
dent in virtually ordering that the pass
ports be sent to the British minister is a
complete change in the position which
he took last Saturday. Early yesterday
afternoon private dispatches were re-
ceived in this city from Washington to
the effect that the President had finally
decided 10 bounce the British minister.
Il is stated on what IS good authority
that the managers OF the Democratic
campaign became greatly alarmed over
the situation in which Mr.. Cleveland
had been placed by this controversy. A
delegation of three gentlemen went to
Washington on the limited Monday al.
ternOOn and took TO the President an
account Of the political situation rs II
appeared here from this standpoint.
They called upon him, so it is said, last
evening. They laid before him all the
facts ofthc case and laid special stress
upon its gravity. lie was told that there
was no hope for the Democratic ticket
receiving single Irish vote in this
country unless prompt and immediate
action was taken from this end Of the
line and that the Democratic National

rageOus Methods to be

Stubborn Facts.

There Is good reason to believe that an
effort is to be made all along the line TO
hold West Virginia in the Solid South
by the lavish use q money. Where
votes can be bought outright they will
be gathered in that way. Where this
cannot be done Republicans are to be
kept from voting by various devices.
The ISTELLiGEycER has advices as to
the programme which may be relied on.
For example, in Mason county the Dem.
ocratie managers think they have made
arrangements to keep from the polls 800
Republicans who are to be employed to
go into the woods aud fell trees on elec-
ton day. In other counties the same
scheme is to be worked ii possible, and
where 1t is not possible other means are
to be resorted to in the hope Of accom-
plishlng the same result.
MORE DEMOCRATIC MONEY.
A large amount Of money has Just

been reminded that though Mr.. Cleve-

out West Virginia. This is the cold
fact, and the Democratic National Com.
mitlee is now disposed to leave nothing
undone 10 hold West Virginia. So the
Democratic managers have been inform
ed within the past twenty.four hours,
and they are now looking to the National
Committee to keep its word. For fear
tho New York end may not come
up fully to their expectations
they are making frantic efforts to
raise more money at home and across
the border in Ohio. The campaign Of
brains, so far as the Democratic man.
ayers in West Virginia are concerned,
has dropped to the level Of u campaign
Of hard cash. Their meetings have been
disappointing and thesr arguments in
favor OF the Free Trade policy have
fallen flat on a people whose interest is
on the side OF Protective Tariff. They
have heard OF changes in every county,
and their reports tell OF losses over the
whole State. They are not at all sure
that they can hold West Virginia with
money, but that is all that is left to
them. They do not regard Congress

The lesson Of the figures Is that the
Republican gain has steadily doubled
the Democratic gain, and that the same
ratio Of increase shows the State 10 be
Republican to-day by $50 votes. This
estimate is based on the natural in
crease and takes into account neither
the con.id, rablc immigration since 1884
nor the changes, known and estimated,
by reason ei the ayewed advance Of the
Democratic party in the direction Of
Free Trade. These factors must appear
strongly IN the vote Tor protection unless
they can bc overcome by the methods
Of "bppdIr' determined on by the Demo.
