STATISTICAL EXPOSITION.
Efforts to prevent the stampede which
followed the acts going into eject were
backed by assurances that time wouid

but this statistical exposition from wnlch
almost ANYTHING might be proved is tor the

the odd number eleven was selected seems
to be that in the twelve months, Or AZ least
within the time that statistics Tor the
twelve months could be tabulated to SUIT
the case. the elections in OHIO and New
York would be over and such tabulatlons
would be of no earthly use.
PARTICULAR PAPERS SELECTED.
Though it appears in answer to alleged
inunjries from all parts of the United
States. it is rather curious that the two
powerful mediums In Washington tor
reaching all parts of the United states
seemed to have been overlooked IN the hrst
furnishing of material on the subject, ana
In view of the fact, also, that 1t assumes

places, and it rather weakens the effect OF
the whole, which will undoubtedly form a
pleasant pamphlet for Republican editors.
HARD PRES KID.
Its publication at this time, however,
demonstrates that the Ohio Republicans
are moving heaven and earth-and the

something else if the announcement that
John j. ingalls, is to take part IN the cam
