New York, October 27 The democratic committee bas received information to day that indicates a total change of front in the repub lican campaign. It is asserted that the republi cans have determined to PRACTICALLY ABANDON NEW YORK and concentrate everything on In diana and Connecticut. It is im possible for the democrats to win without carrying one of tlieae two states. If tbey ca.-ry Indiana they will not need Conncctiout, but if they carry New York and New Jersey and lose Indiana, they will need Conneticut to give them the three lacking voles. The tide against Blaine in New York is rising so high that it van only lie stemmed by cnoraotii ex penditure nnd by concentrating every worker here. In Indiana and Connecticut the mnrginiaslim, the vote much smaller and tho re publican disaffection leas. By with drawing quietlv from the unequal fight in New York and closing in on Indiana and Connecticut, the re publicans hope to check the demo crats, even though they carry New York and New Jersey.

Morton stood up against him. lit Connecticut the defection for Blaine is considerable and is grow ing daily. In Waterbury three clergymen nnd the American, the leading newspaper, have deserted Blaine and 270 republicans have signed an anti-BUinc list. -In Litchfield, Antonia, Seymour, New Milford, Plainville, Farmington tlteie are anti-Blaine republican clubs ranging from 25 to 80 names. It is estimated that there are 3.000 republicans who voted for Garfield who will bolt Blaine. Butler and St. John will have about 3,000 voles each, from which the two great parties will suffer eqitnlly. You may look for New York to go for Cleveland by a very heavy majority. New Jersey may lie counted reasonably sure. The critical lighting will be done in Indiana and Connecticut. Those slates arc squarely unti-BIaine.

In order to mark the solemnity of tbe occasion they clapped u member of the rank and ll|ii upon the entrance, which was thus held ut the point of the hay- onet from 10 till 4 o'clock. The commission accomplished its work, which was, no doubt, to draw up a report, which was relegated, as such documents arc, to the pigeon holes of the department moving in Lite matter.

Joaxra T. Ixtux Button D, Em York City Wasihnoton, Oot. 23.—Tbe gen eral newspaper reader wbo, in tbe several days of each month readt the Treasury announcement that the public debt waa reduced du ring the preceding month by so many million dollars, doe* not, per haps, pauae to reflect that this steady decrease of national obliga tions means a steady and perma nent decline in fixed expenditure*, and that it indicates constant growth in national resources and prosperity. Nor ia tha general reader perhaps aware of tbe magni tude of t hu national debt and ot the remarkable swiftness with which it is being paid. In August, 1865, when the high est figures were reached, the total debt of the United State* wa* $2,757,531,571, tbe annual interest upon which was nearly $161,000,000 Sinco August, 1865,a period of 19 years, tbe debt has been reduced neatly one-half, and the annual interest charge is now a few more thousands more than one-third of what it once wa*. On June 80 last the total debt wa* $1.438 542.695, and tbe interest actually paid for tbe year ending with that date wa* $54,686,378. It is only when these figure* are arranged so as to show wbat was done monthly or daily in tbi* di rection that the average reader can be made to fully comprehend and appreciate the magnitude of the aggregate sum paid-. Since August, 1865, there has been paid, down to June 30, 1884, $1,317,888,676, which is equal to $69,862,657 each year for tbe nineteen years. Re ducing these figures to months shows an average monthly reduc tion of $5,780,213, and counting 80 days to the month, the reduotion for every day during tbe nineteen years was $192-674, which is equal to $8,028 for every hour, and $134 lor every minute, wbioh would be $2 38 for every swing of a clock’s pendulum for tbe entire nineteen years. An expert counter in the Treas ury Department who can count 4,000 new notes sn honr for seven hours a day is considered unusual ly dexterous. If three fail average counters had been detailed nine teen years ago to oonnt out fl notes ‘ with which to pay the amount of national debt that bas been discharged in that period, tbey would have been required to work continuoaily day and night to meet the demands of tbe Treas ury to pay national creditors for bonds surrendered! It is not with* in the power of human endurance for one man to count in nineteen years in United States notes of the denomination of $5 tbe sum of the public debt discharged since August, 1865.

It being Sunday few people were at tbe mill, and beroro assistance could be procured the flames bad done their work. Tbe woods are atill burning and much more damage may ensue. It is s wretched custom that forces candidates to sacrifice a large share of self respect, to (ay nothing of their money, to secure the privilege of serving the peo ple.
