HI FIRLD.

The campaign in Ohio attracts the
attention Of politicians in all parts Of
the country, says the New York indie.
pendent. The situation is quite COM.
plicated, owing to quaTrels or dissen.
aions in both of the great parties and
the candidacy of Mayor Jones, of To.
ledo, but y the correspondents Of
Democratic newspapers predict the
election Of Judge Nash, the Republican
nominee. The most remarkable fea.
ture OF the canvass is the unexpected
strength of Mayor Jones. Estimates
of the vote to be cast for him range
from SO, 900 to 1eO. 900. A large mejor-
ity Of his followers are to be found in
the cities among the workingmen, but
the condition of the two great parties
tends to give him the support Of a
considerable number of dissatisfied
Republicans and Democrats. The at
tltude OF the Republican fees of SEN
ator Hanna must be taken into sc-
count, and Judge Nash excited the en-.
nifty OF n of these, Governor Bueh.
nell, last year by tina sharp letter in
which he refused an appointment to
office. On the other hand, Mr.. Nc,
Lean is not a popular candidate, and
it Is predicted that he will lose the
votes Of many Democrats. He has
lived in Washington for fourteen
years, and has paid only a few dollars
IN taxes on personal property, al
though his fortune is ee estimated to be
$15, 000. 900. His political methods are
repulsive to the better element in his
party. He is now making a free dis
tribution daily of $50, 600 copies of his
newspa or, whose influence has al.
ways been dem oralizing. The Repub.
lican committees assault upon the
pocketbo0ks OF Federal Cffice holders
throughout the country is said to have
diverted to Jones the votes OF indie.
pendent Democrats who were inclined
to vote for Nash. TIE silver issue has
been laid aside by the Democrats. The
Republican, have a long list of promi.
nent cam paign speakers, including
nine Senators and three times as many
O0ngrCs5men. AS election day ep.
pro8ches the bitterness OF the Damo-
cratic quarrel IN Kentucky becomes
more intense, and upon a fair count the
defeat OF Goebel seems to be assured.
For some time past ex Secretary Car.
lisle has besn a prominent figure in the
Democratic revolt. In New York
Richard Croker has wrested control
OF the Democratic State Committee
from ex Senator Hill, and the commit.
tee has passed a resolution highly com.
p'imentary to Mr., Bryan. The latter
10Y says that he would not advise
the withdrawal Of the troops from the
Philippines, bui a plain declaration by
the United States of a purpose to give
the FAipinos full independence as soon
as they have made a sable govern
ment Of their own.

TO RESTRICT THR BALLOT.
CeOrgia's Governor Will Urge it in His
Message,

ATLANTA, Ga Oct 10 In his forth
coming message to the Legislature
which meets next week, Governor
Chandler will recommend such an
amendment to the constitution as will
re strict the ballot to the the virtue and
intelligence of the State. TIE steps
taken by sister States toward restric
tion Of the ballot are referred to and
while there is no suggestion Of any par
ticuIar plan for securing the desired
end, the Governors idea that the mass
OF ignorant negro voters should be
eliminated is made cle8r. He is sptci
fc in his declaration that the distinc,
tion should not be of race or color, or
that it should not be based On a prop.
erty qualification that would eliminate
a man for lack of this worlds goods.
Crime and mob violence will be
dwelt on at some length. The Governor
points out the expense Of the admins
tretion of the criminal laws in the
State showing that the cost is more
than half a million dollars for melting
out justice to the negroes alone. He
urges the necessity of sustaining this
important branch Of the State Govern
ment and recommends that the pay of
the officers be reduced somewhat and
that each private soldier be paid 81 a
day when in actual service. AS it is
the privateg get but 43 cents each day.

PRIrCaARD ON AMENDMENT.
Claims it Will Disfrauchise the IlIiterate
of Both Races.


S~TATEsvILLE, N. O., O;5ober 10
Senator Pritchard spoke here last night
in regard to the proposition to amend
the provision of the State Constitution
prescribing the Qualifications for elect
ors. This amendment constituted, he
said, the most important question pre-
scented to the psople sincs the war.
The constitution of 1868, framed by the
Republican party, guaranteed free
suffrage to the rich, the poor and the
educated alike. There had neve been
a moment since it's adoption, declared
the Senator, when it had not baen the
intention OF the Democratic party to do
all in it's power, should the opportunity
present itself to amend the Constitution
so as to restricf the right of suffrage
and it possible prevent the poor and
illiterate white people from exercising
that right. Toe people we're confronted
with a proposition to amend the Con
gtisution which would. in his judgment,
disfranchise the poor and iliiterate
clat s 50 of both races.

S~tatesville Mascot: An article has
appeared in two or three newspapers
OF the State saying that the reason we
are to have only one week of court Is
that our | lawyers resented Judge Rob
inson's discourtesy to them at August
term. This is a mistake. Judge Robin
son was not diecourteous to them, and
they make no such charge against
him.

THREE GREAT BATTLE SHIPS
Plans for the Most Power
fu! Vessels in Amy
Navy.

NEW YORK, Dec, 3O.-A special to tho
Tribune from Washington says: Designs
for the greatest battleships ever projected
for the American navy were agreed upon by
the Naval Board of Construction today after
several months Of discussion over the
important questions of battcrY, armor, speed,
coal capacity and displacement. The three
new vessels-to be called the Georgia, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania-will equal in for
midability the finest line of battleships yet
laid down by any foreign power and with
the addition of typical American improve
ments will surpass in fighting force any
ships now afoat.
The salient feature of the design con-
template a displacement of approximately
IA, 900 tons, as compared with the Oregon's
1000 or the new Names ~, 300. The
speed is to be lat least nineteen knots"
with a coal bunker capacity of 900 tons,
There will be two supeTimposed %turrets,
one fore and the other aft, each containing
two Cwelve-inch aud two eight-inCh guns
of the new elongated bore and high smoke
less powder velocity. The remaining guns
of the main battery will consist of twelve
siX-inCh quick-fire broadsides. This ar
rangement of battery has been finally
adopted instead of an alternative plan, which
provided for four twelvG-1ncn guns in tur-
rets and sixteen siX-inch broadside, which
had been put forward to avoid the eXpedient
OF su|perimposed turrets. The two-story
%turrets, which are a distinctively American
innovation, as applied to the Kearsarge and
Kentucky, are regarded as no longer of
doubtful success and it is known that for
eign governments are preparing to adopt
them TO secure the concentration and angle
of fire they secure, which is unapproached
by any other expedient.
The board also definitely determined upon
the use of the most modern Kruppized armor
for the new vessels.
The total cost Of each of these three ships
when ready for sea will exceed 81. 200, OOO
each. They will cruise 1000 miles straight
away and there will not be three ships OF
similar offensive and defensive strength in
the fleet of any possible enemy.
