Washington, D. C., Oct. 26. — Secret¬ ary Bayard is away and has spoken more than once during the past week, and in a most acceptable manner. Secretary Fairchild, too, is absent, and has given expression to his feelings on the subject of republicanism and finance. Secretary Whitney’s efforts have not, so far, been oratorical, but they are credited with be¬ ing none the less effective; he will return after the election. Secretary Endicott is in town, but silent; so are Secretary Vilas and Attorney General Garland. Mr. Vilas, however, will probably be away next week, and, with Postmaster Gen¬ eral Dickinson, who is now out of town, will do his best in the hitherto republi¬ can northwest. This will leave in the city only the secretary of war and the attorney general. A member of the cab¬ inet to-day said that the average politi¬ cian, in his anxiety about New York and Indiana, which were safely demo¬ cratic, was losing sight of a most inter¬ ring in West struggle. Virginia. He “In referred that state," to the fight said he, “the two contending parties are splendidly neither organized and so nearly equal that will he able to claim the victory until the returns are all in. Money is being fairly poured into that campaign, politicians and being all the wiles of skilled are used to the best pos¬ sible effect. My information, which comes to me almost daily, is to the effect that we will win, and I feel sure we shall, but the republicans, under the leadership of Goff, will make us earn our majority." Chief Clerk Youmans, of the treasury York, department, has gone home to New and will remain away till the 7th of November. He is confident of demo- cra;ic success. A goodly portion of the clerks and employes of the treasury will leave for their voting places possibly in a spared day or two. As allowed many as can be. will be to exercise their right of franchise. Mr. Ingalls has gone to New York to take part in the campaign in that state. He will probably deliver but one speech live re, but Connecticut will be favored with two or three speeches of the Kan¬ san’s Senator biting sarcasm and fiery deal flings. Ingalls being a good of a Jonah," he has not been in demand this year as a campaign speaker. His letter, written during the Chicago con¬ vention, lessened the demand for the Kansas senator. The republican leaders are afraid he will make more bad breaks, and that is why they have given him so few appointments. The senatorial fights in New Jersey and West Virginia are being waged with a fierceness never before equalled, ac¬ cording to reports of persons who have come here from those states. It is con¬ ceded that Mr. Kenna will be re-elected in West Virginia, but there is some doubt in regard to Senator McPherson in New Jersey, for the reason that the republicans are said to be bending legisla¬ all their efforts to carry the Jersey ture, and are not paying much attention to the electoral vote. If both Kenna and McPherson are re-elected, and Judge Thurman becomes vice-president, the control of the senate will pass from the republicans to the democrats. I’ostmaster-General Dickinson, who has gone to Michigan, will probably not return to Friends Washington until after the election. of his say that he feels quite will hopeful democratic. this The year that his state go plurality which Blaine received four years ago was small and by proper work and organization the democrats may be able to overcome it and put the figures to theh- own cred¬ it. Mr. Dickinson will, while at home, confer with the leading party workers. cal They have great and confidence his in his politi¬ wisdom, counsel at this time is worth a great deal. Reports which reach here from Michi¬ gan are to the effect that Stephenson,the republican candidate for. congress in the peninsula district, is certain to be defeat¬ ed. The failure to give Seymour a re¬ nomination lias raised a big row, espe¬ cially as the nominee is accused of hav¬ ing bought his nomination. The repub¬ licans are making a hard fight on Tars- ney, Whiting and Ford, three of th© democratic congressmen, but all will probably pull through again. Allen’s The dem¬ ocrats expect to capture district in that state. Crooked Work in Gotham. New Yokk, Oct. 21 i.—There never was so much talk of colonization in a New York election as this fall. Not that election frauds have been rare, but tiiat they have taken some other form. Col. Quay accuses the democrats of organiz¬ ing the tramps in the lower part of New York city, and the democrats accuse Col. Quay not only of importing negroes into the state, but of having a systemat¬ ic scheme to import the surplus popula¬ tion of the northern counties of Pennsyl¬ vania into the southern tier of New York, while up in the northern counties the democrats Canadian charge the republicans with bringing workmen in to vote without naturalization papers and proper residence. AH the counties of the southern tier of New York, with the pos¬ sible exception of Chemung, are republi¬ can by good sized majorities, and their registration laws New are nothing and like Brook¬ as strict as those of Y'ork lyn. A universal democratic wail is coming from all the cities like Elmira, Bingliamton and Corning, near the southern tier, that men are registering there whose faces are not known in the neighborhood. Col. Quay has some big scheme on hand by which he expects to carry the state. Nobody seems to know what it is, as he is one of the least talka¬ tive men in this town. But it is surmised that the Philadelphia republicans - got their a tip about it before they put up money. first conviction for illegal regis¬ The yesterday.

The speculative de¬ tectives hurried up to the republican that headquarters Col. Quay to claim at once the $3,500 offered for the first con¬ viction for illegal registration or voting.

It costs $100 money to buy #80 of Harri¬ son, as it takes #90 or #100 of Har¬ rison to buy #100, of Cleveland, by which can be seen that the bookmakers are keeping a liberal percentage of the money. The betting odds are slightly moae in favor of Hill than Cleveland, though not many book bets are made on the gubernatorial light. On the mayoralty the odds are #100 to #60 on Grant against any other candi¬ date, and #100 to #80 on Grant against the field. Odds of 1 to 2 are asked on Hewitt’s not being either first or second. The betting is even that Erhardt beats Hewitt. There is money to be had that Hill will poll more votes in New Y’ork city Hill’s than Cleveland, though the bets on fined vote the exceeding large cities, Cleveland are con¬ to and few are made on the total vote of the state.

INDIANA GIVEN UP. A Secretary of the Republican National Convention Concedes Defeat. Newark, N. J., Oct. 26. —The Newark Journal has published a personal letter from C. R. Banks, one of the secretaries of the republican national convention, who is now stumping Indiana for Harri¬ son, to Mr. Austin H. McGregor, of this city; Galt House, Louisville, Ky., Oct. 21. My Dear Austin: I send papers. You will see in the Journal that your most obedient servant and friend addressed 5J100 people for the g. o. p. last night in Indiana, and got several rousing cheers. I promised them New Y’ork by 30,000, etc. Had lots of fun. Y’ou can bet I am having fun if any is on the road. My friends complimented me on my address. I have now been through Indiana, and can tell you a few points. The re¬ publicans have a poll I list locating every voter, room, etc. was afraid they had not. The central committee told me this at Terre Haute. I hear the [democrats are working school-house speakers in every small town earnastly. 1 also hear the republicans doing the same at Vin¬ cennes. The republicans aro making a house-to-house canvass and doing good work. Only working harm fairly in Evans¬ ville. Blaine did in Jeffersonville and Evansville in the opinion of good men on our will side. My honest Indiana. opinion Good is, Cleveland carry God! you ought to see democrats the democrats turn out at Brazil. The had Thurman, and so the many people were at the station that express 3XpI off train had to slow to clear men on the track. But you never saw an Indiana turn-out. Rain and mud don't stop it. Kind re¬ to all. Good-bye. C. R. Banks. The Wheelbarrow 1 ! Turn. Watervillk, Me., Oct. 26.—Simeon Keith, a staunch ’old republican who voted for “Tippecanoe" in 1840, and Mathew Pardy, an equally staunch old democrat, have made the following pe¬ culiar bet: If Cleveland is re-elected, Keith, who is over 70 years of age, will carry Fardy in a wheelbarrow from the Maine Central Passenger station to the post-office—a distance of nearly a mile. If Harrison is elected, Fardy will per¬ form a similar operation both with Keith. The younger citizens of political beliefs intend to deck the vehicle in gor¬ geous colors, and follow the principals through their line of march with a band. Will Harnet** to a Sulky. Concord, N. ID, Oct. 26.— Orvil Han- naford, of Canterbury, an enthusiastic supporter of Harrison,and Joseph Stone- ham, of Boscawen, an equally ardent ad¬ vocate of Cleveland, have made a bet on the election which will be worth witness¬ ing when it is paid. If Harrison is elect¬ ed Mr. Stoneham is to be harnessed to a sulky and draw Mr. Hannaford from the church in Boscawen to of Bonney's three hotel in Peuacock, a distance miles, over a hilly, rough and sandy road. If Cleve¬ land proves so be the winning candidate, Mr. .Stoneham will hold the ribbons and Mr. Hannaford will play mule over the same course. Will Farad© His Defeat. Spencer, Mass., Oct. 26.—J. S. Rich¬ ards, a democrat, and Dr.Warefountaine, an ardent republican, have made a bet that is somewhat unique. The one that loses is to don a stovepipe hat which is to be adorned with the names of the suc¬ cessful candidates in the blackest of black ink, and with letters as large a* the surface of the hat will permit.
