The suit grew out of a levy made by
Constable Salter and Attorney Paul dur
ing Christmas week of last year on the
household goods of Mrs. Vicanza Ramopdi
A Mrs. Canatello had secured a Judgment
against Mrs. Ramond a widow. for so
for an alleged assault on her child, and
the levy was made to recover the amount
1t was testified that Mrs Ramondi had
been deprived not only of her furniture
and the greater part of her wearing ap-
parel, but the bed on which she slept as
well Attorney Campbell Darlington. whose
attention was called to the incident was
convinced that Mrs. Ramondf was being
treated wrongfuliy, and at his own ex-
pense appealed the case.

OHIO STATE TICKET SAFE.
Republican, Plurality Estimated at
From 10000 to 1000.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, October 1s-The
heavy registrations so far have caused
politicians TO raise their estimates of the
total vote to be cast at the coming state
election.
AT the last presidential election there
were over a million votes cast in Ohio.
This being an ''of year in Ohio politics
and the campaign a very quiet one, the
general notion was that not more than
800 900 votes would be cast. The registra-
tion indicates that II will be well up TO
800. 900. 1t will probably be at least S75. coo.
The petitions for the state ticket of the
three minor parties indicate that the COM
bincd strength of these parties will be
about 81 100. That leaves about S45 900
votes to be distributed between the TWO
great parties.
There are ul.mistakable indications that
the anti-HaLna republicans will not support
the republican state ticket. The vote of
this faction viii follow closely that cast in
the legislative elections last fan, in wnicn
the republican plurality was but little more
than 5000 in the state.
The republicans will have the advantage
Of the war enthusiasm and the soldier vote
or their side however, but this will by no
means affect entirely the detection of the
anu-Hanna vote. Allowing to each Of
these chief factors in the campaign It's
probable effect ii seems likely that the
republican state ticket will receive 430, 900
ara the democratic 4l5.Uo OF these votes.
Kinney, for secretary of state heading the
rer ublican state ticket, will run behind his
ticket, so that the head of the republican
ticket Will probably have not more than
lo.oo9 or .l2,0W plurality. or nearly 10000
less than Bushnell had last fall.
Notwithstanding the oVerturning of poll
tics in Hamilton county, ii is generally be-
lieved that both the first and second dis
tricts will go republican But four districts
are generally regarded as likely to change
political complexion. The republicans ex-
pect TO capture the third district defeating
Representative Brenner." 1T seems likely
that they may do so.
The democrats expect to capture the
ninth district Cfoiedo), and they probably
will succeed. They also claim the eighth
district. but it seems impossible that Rem
resentatiVe Lybrand can be defeated there
/ The republicans are making a hard fight
TO capture this twelfth district, but the
chances are decidedly in favor of the re-
election of John ]. Lentz. the present demo-
cratic congressman.

various circles unconnected with either

the Jnited States is not Of so positive a
character as would at first sight seem to
result from the formal declarations men
toned.
The reasoning given me is this:
The United States have declared that
they made "A war. not Of conquest. out OF
liberation and order, btcauSe they could
not allow the prolonCatlou at their very
doors of a state Of things which was. IN
their eyes. a blow to the cause of humanity
and civilization. They therefore made
public declaration that the war was not
one of conquest. and they now consider
that by agreeing to be invested with the
sovereignty OF Cuba they would give them
selves the appearance Of having conquered
The island for territorial aggrandiZement.
They refuse to give themselves the appear

positively refuse to accept that capacity of

1.-The United States quite comprehend that
their firm refusal to accept sovereignty
does not exclude obligation, on the footing
Of justice and equity. 10 make Spain real
concession as TO financial burdens which
would be crushing if she were saddled with
the whole Cuban debt. We may be certain
that on this point the Americans will be
less infexible than on the principle of SOW
ereignty. The proof, I am told. that the
United States are disposed to meet Spain
in an equitable fashion is that the Spanish
commissioners who would not at first ac-
cept an invitation to dine with Gen. Horace
Porter until the end of the conference, have
GOw accepted
Friends of the United States here think
it might have been better if they had pro-
ceeded more openly and if, instead of con-

obligations involved
