STEUBENvILLE, November 5.-Only two
days more until the Presidential election
and Judging from the quietnesS hereaoouts
one would think it was four or five months
off. The apathy existing among RepuDli-
cans is wonderful; all the efforts OF poll
ticians have failed to arouse them. Not
single parade has taken place in this city
with the exception of about dozen darkles
whom the politicians got out in hopes OF
stirring up enthusiasm among the colored
brethren, but it was Of no avail. There
100 to 200 colored voters in Steubenville and
all that could be induced to TO join tie
publican club was eighteen. Several meet
ings were held in the Court House and IN
vitationa extended 10 all colored men
to attend, but the number present never got
over IS and lately the effort to get them
interested has been abandoned in disgust
and despair. All the signs show that Col.
POorman and his friends are scared. The
Be!laire Tribune has been unusually bitter
and the letter of Sam Campbell TO the post
masters in the district is an evidence OF
fear that the result will not be what ne
would like it to be. The general feeling
among Democrats in this city is that Judge
Pearson will be elected. If he runs in the
balance of the district as he will in Jeffer-
son county he will have handsome MAORI
ty
