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.
