TIIE DOUBTFUL STATES.
Knob of the two great political
parties has had Btiflloient time since
the Ohio and West Virginia elec
tions to take ft full and coinprchen-
•ive viow of the political situation,
and to rcnclt a conclusion relative
to what must be done to triumph
in November. Kach party claims
an advantage from last week’s skir
mish, and each professes to feel
confident of success in November.
The truth is that each party rec
ognizes that the Novomber battle
is to be won by skillful manage
ment, bard work and untiring vigi
lance. The result in Ohio and West
Virginia helped neither party to
any appreciable extent. Kacb held
what really belonged to it. Ohio
is a Republican State and, doubt-
leas, will give a Republican msjori
ty in November. West Virginia
is a Democratic State, and in No
vember will be found in the Demo
cratic column. If in Tuesday’s
contest there was any advantage
gained by cither party it was gain
ed by the Democratic party, be
cause the Republican majority in
1880 in Ohio was cut down, and
the Democratic majority; in West
Virgiuia was slightly increased.
The leaders of choIi party arc
now preparing to expend nearly all
their strength in tbo four doubtful
States of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and Indiana. 1 n these
Slates tlie Democrats have a mark
ed advantage. New Jersey gave a
majority over the Republicans in
1880 of over 3,000. It now lias a
Democratic administration. Con
necticut gave a Republican majori
ty in 1880 of a little over 3,000, but
now hat a Democratic administra
tion. The independent Republi
can party is strong there and can be
depended upon to give Cleveland
a large majority. With the help of
the Independent Republican vote
there is scarcely a doubt that
Cleveland will get the State. Indi
ana has a small Democratic majon
ty, but a largo floating vote,
will be no less enrnest and active.
The National Democratic Commit
tee has already shown that it is
ready for the work that it has in
band by issuing the ringing address^
that was published yesterday.
Cleveland will not go about the
State drumming np voters, but the
party managers will aee to it that
every Democrat is warned ot the
necessity of doing bis duty on Nov-
4.
Blaine b.s nothing in his favor
in New York, except that the State
was carried for Garfield in 1880.
(Vhat has Cleveland to depend on ?
(1.) The 'phenomenal mnjori'y
which he got in 1883 for Governor
will help him, because it will lead
many to believe that be can carry
the State. (3 ) The fact that New
York is bis State will bring him
votes, because many wilt support
him from State pride. (3) The
The stalwart faction of the Repub
lican party hate Blaine, and many
of them will either vote against
him or not vote at all. (4.) The
bolting Republicans will poll many
thousands of votes for Cleveland.
Their committee say they haven
list of 66,000. (5.) The Prohibi
tion vote is certain to be large, and
it will almost be wholly drawn from
the State. With all these advanta
ges it can hardly be possible for
Cleveland to luse the Slate.
Tbo Republicans will not be able
to conduct the campaign so vigor
ously as they have for the remain
ing time before the election because
they about exhausted themselves
in the September and October skir
mishes. There is no question that
they have spent hundreds of thou
sands of dollars already. It
is not probable that they
can collect many hundreds of
thousands of dollars more. The
Republicans placed great reliance
for assistance on Butler, but the
fact that the Butler movement is
rapidly losing its grip is so appa
rent that few believe it will amount
to much by election day. Cleve
land certainly has the inside track
in the race.—Savannah News.
To Btre Ton an Hea of Vint Bes Been
The pistol and club policy work
ed so well in Ohio at tbo election
Inst Tuesday that the Republicans
arc preparing to run the same
schedule at Chicago at the I’rcsi
dentinl election. They propose,
not only to nrm United States
Deputy Marshals with revolvers,
but to call out the Blaine and Lo
gan clubi to stand at the polls.
This is regarded by the Democrats
as an invitation to a regular battle,
and both sides will probably be
prepared for anything that turns
up. There is little doubt that
there will bs lively times in Chi-
cago at the election.
Mr. Stephen A. Douglas, the son
of the great Douglas, has been
making Blaine speeches in the
East, and it is stated that he keeps
his audiences reminded of the fact
that his father was a great man
While he is doing this it is impos.
sible for his audiences to keep
Irom reminding themselves that
the son is very small man.

OLD ESTABLISHED MERCANTILE HOUSES, WHOSE SOLVENCY WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE FOUNDED ON INDE8TRUCTABLE ROCKS OF
UNLIMITED CAPATAL AND UNQUESTIONABLE CREDIT,
Tottered and Fell in a Day!
Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi
als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith
on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil
drens and Men’s Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy
Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from 80 to 60 per cent,
of the actual value. Promptly at 8 o’clock Monday Morning
and it will be to the interest of every one in this city or country
to be on hand, for at the prices we propose selling these goods
you were never offered them in the history of the dry goods,
clothing, boot and shoe trade.

1880 the Republican plurality was |
6,641. The party that gets the j
floating vote will probably get the j
State. The Democrat* have just j
as good a chance to get nt least,
half of that vote a9 the Uepubli-;
cans have. It is believed, and with j
very good reason, that the ltcpuli- j

they will not have much to spend j
to buy votes in November. '
