Cincinnati, October 20, 1884.???[Special.]???
The Ohio democracy is in line again for tUo
national tight.
Chairman Bargnr, who has just issued an
address, says: *???We may not carry Ohio in
November, but we will keep tho republicans
mighty busy here. They can???t spare men or
money to'help elsewhere???If they, do we will
run over them.??? i
???Do you hope to carry Ohio in November????
???We do. We fought the concentrated re
publican party last week. We will only have
a section to light in November. And then
the independent republicans who will not
vote for Blaine had no reason for bolting the
state ticket. We know of hundreds of re^
publicans who are dead against Blaine, and
yet who voted for Robinson. And again the
prohibitionists voted for Robinson, who was
a crusader, but will not vote for Blaine, who
dodged the prohibition vote In Maine. They
^ will vote for St. John. And lastly we will
not be run over by ruffianly United States
marshals in Cincinnati in November as we
were in October. I honestly believe we will
carry the state.???
New York, October 20.???A citizens??? meeting was
held to-niglit in the Academy of Music, of this
city, fox the purpose of making nominations for
mayor. Tho meeting was composed of democrats
and republicans. Oswald Ottendorfor, Frederick
Kirk ..Charles H. Miller, IVm. Ward, Wra. A. Colo,
Horace White und Dr. HowArdCrosby were among
tboso present. The building wns crowded. Ex-
Mayor Wm. It. Grace waa formally nominated for
mayor.
New York, October 21.???Immense crowds of
people assembled to-night in and about 11th and
ICth streets, and Irving Place, to attend tho great
Tammany ratification meeting. There was speak
ing from six or seven different stands in that part
of the city, but the ptluclpal meeting was In Tam
many hall, which wns packed to its utmost ca
pncity. Mayor Edson, who presided, read letters
from a number of prominent democrats, and after
a few brief remarks, introduced to the audience
as the first speaker, Senator Jfayard, of Delaware,
who was received by an enthusiastic greeting.
Seldom has any speaker mc-t such a welcome in
this city. At almost every sentence ho
was interrupted by* applause, which
at the clcso of his address, swelled into a great out
burst of excitement and enthusiasm. He was fol-
owed by ex-Govcrnor John B. Carroll, of Mary
land, and cx-8etmtor Thurman, both of whom
were loudly cheered. During tho speak
ing a monster procession, consisting of moro than
20,COO torch-l-cnrere, marched past Tammany hall
and the several outside stands, and filled that
part of the city with a glare of torches and fire,
works, and a rear of continuous cheering.

Columbia, 8. C., October 22.???[Special.]???
The political canvass In South Carolina hasup
to tho present timo been devoid of any excit
ing incidents rucli es marked tho memorable
campaign of 1875. Tho eaino democratic ora
tors are in tho field and nearly the same fs.suos
nr?? involved, but no enemy can-bo dlscovorad
fo dispute with tho leader* of tho democracy.
The state ticket put forward by tho lato re
publican convention has fullcn to pieces. The
three most prominent men on tho ticket posi
tively dcclino to engage in a contest which
promises nothing, Btrnkcr, Melton and Cor
bin, tho most brainy men
in tho parly, regard tho nomination
ofllio ticket ns foolishness, The republican
and independent candidates for congress are,
however, working earnestly for success. Tho
only ono of theso who stands any chance of
election is tho ???convict congressman," Robert
Entails, of tho ???black district." Tho election
of tip six democratic nominees is sure. Colo
nel William Elliott. Small???s opponont, thinks
he will bo able to defeat ???him. The republi
cans show little or no iutercst in politics just
now', and itseems pretty certain that ouly a
small percentage of tlic negro vote will bo.
polled. Tlio democratic leaders count upon
carrying tbe state by 25,000 majority.
Tkiirr Haute, Inn., October 23.???Mr. Blaino
left Evansville at 8:30 this morning, having
before him a long dsy???s ride to LaFayette.
At Terre Haute tie mado a short speech, in
which he drew tho distinction between the
new and the old south???the now socking in
dustrial development and laboring to lend tho
people away from tho prejudice* of the past;
the old, prejudiced, bitter and hostile to
northern interests, devoted to tho
???lost cause," narrow of vision and
incapable of taking In tho magnitude of our
great future. This old south constituting, ho
???aid, the main clement of strength iu the
dt mocrntic party,was now striving and hoping,
with the aid of Indiana and New* York, to get
control of tho national government, and it was
for tho people of those states to say whether
they are prepared to hand over the govern
ment to tliat element.
Wilmington* N. C??, October 23 ???Late last

erotic coueidato for governor, wo* addressing
a large meeting, Including many ladies, in
front of tho city hall, a procession of
nigroci, who had been attend

part of the city, passed within a few to it of the
democratic meet tug, and acted in a most dis
orderly roenner, shouting and yelling and
making other noisy demonstrations that com
pelled the meeting to suspend ita proceedings.
Etones were thrown on the sj??eaker* stand, one
of them narrowly missing General Scales, and
one striking him it?? the breast.
Colonel John N. Staples, candidate
forelector at large. Tho democrats quietly sub
mitted to the outrage, but it has created in
tense indignation, and there is mucli^ excite

white republican leaders, ond to inform them
that they would be held responsible for any
repetition of tbe outrage.

C *Ralkjoh, N. C., October 23.???The prohibi

fer B. John.
Naw Tots. October 21.???At tbe democratic
political headquarter* everything is in go *1
thtpe for the contest for Tuesday, two w??k*
hence. The managers never felt more coni ???
dent, and the moat hopeful reports are b*inx
received every hour during the day. The bolt
??f the indep* ndent republicans it now taking
??? definite shape, and the republican* are ra??
beginning to realize the strength of tbU ele
ment, which they heretofore discountenanced.
There is up doubt but that it will be a serious
lr.6s to the republican vote, sud will figure
very prominently in the summing up of Cleve
land's vote in this state.
Tbe independents havo completed a very
elaborate and painstaking canvass of the state.
They have precisely 85,320 npmes of solid re
publicans signed to pledges that they will not
vote lor Blaine. Fully 80,000 of the total have
vclr.utoiily pledged themselves to vote for
Cleveland, while tbe reai.iinder refused to say
what they would do. Added to tho num
ber givcu there nro thousands of re
publicans who simply said to tho canvass
ers that they would not vote for Blaine or
.Cleveland either, and no mention was made
of St. John or Butler, thus renlly placing the
bolt against Blaine at more thau 100,000 votes,
or a number almost equal to tho bolt against
I???olger two years ago. Tho latest and best es
timate of the St. John vote in forty counties
of this state places it at 24,fi0i). Tho fool
ing among democrats at headquartors is one
of confidence, and they are claiming Now
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana and
the eolid south.
To attempt to check the tide which threatens
the overthrow of his life-long hopes, Mr.
Blaine, if the statements mado at tho republi
can state committee's headquarters are to be be
lieved, will turn his caravan towards tho oast
the latter part of this week, and on Monday
night next will give an exhibition at Angelica,
Allegany county. Tho following day ho is
expected, according to these same authorities,
in this city. Ho is not entirely satisfied with
the work of the state committee if reports nro
to bo believed, in fact, it is tho opinion of
old campaigners that no moro incompetent a
state committee ever managed any candidate's
canvass
Advices from Ohio indiento that tho repub
licans arc by no means suro of carrying that
state in November. Tho following letter from
r very prominent citizen of Cincinnati, to tho
committee, gives some hie a of the policy used
by tho republicans to carry tho stato election,
and the disgust engendered consequent there
to. The letter is written by an indopendont
republican, who has always voted tho repub-
licen ticket, but who will not voto for Blaine.
He says:
???There Is a good deni of indignation horo among
quiet citizens of all parties concerning tho outrage
ous methods of intimidation practiced by tho Dul
led States marshal. Mos of the deputy marshals
were negro lmllies, and many of them u*;ro non
residents. It Is the common belief that they all
voted. You can Imagine the effect of putting ten
or fifteen j Jug-iiudies, armed and ready fo desper-
ote work, at each polling place. Not only were
voters kept away from tho polls by the fear of
trouble, but democratic workers were less aetlvo
than they othc-rwho would have
been. Hundreds of people who
voted the republican ticket mrly Iu tho day re-
f retted later on that they had done so, After see-
ng the southern system practiced openly by dep
uty marshals In some of the precincts. The ofll-
ccisactually carried revolvers in their hands.
There wns not the slightest reason to apprehend
any outbreak or difficulty of any kind. It Is no
exaggeration tossy that hundreds of men who
have been republicans will abandon the party
next month simply on account of the disgraceful
proceeding:? of Tuesday last iu Cincinnati. One
wealthy gentleman whom 1 know has not only
announced bis intcntlou to vote for Cleveland,
but bos sent his cheek for 91.000 to
tbe democratic state committee. Ho voted
ter Kobiuton. Tho republican managers
will find Hint they mado a great mlstako In adapt
ing shotgun tactics in this city, Mr. A., who is an
independent republican, says that a great ma
jority of tho independent republicans voted for
Robinson and the entire republican ticket, but tho
Independents, numbering moro than 1,000 in (Jin-
cinnuti, will nearly nil voto for Cleveland. A
considerable percentage of tho German rcpubll-
r ton county will give Cleveland
a majority of between 1.000 and 2,000. If tho dem
ocrat* can bring out their full vote In the state, I
??te no reason why they may not coufideutly hop??
to carry Oldo next month.???/
Among business circles here political feeling
is at fever heat, and If the election was loft
slouo in tho hands of Now York business men
Cleveland would bury Blaine in an aValanche
of votes.
It bas been practically decided to have n
monster parade of business men???s Cleveland
clubs nt on early date, at which speakers of
national reputation will bo present.
A Cleveland ond Hendricks mass meeting
will be held in the broad apaco at tho foot of
Wall street Wednesday afternoon of next weok
under the auspices of tho Down-town Mer
chants??? Cleveland club. Tho co-opcration of
the Cleveland clubs in tho various exchanges
bos been solicited, ond tho Hon. Carl Schur*
end Daniel Dougherty, of Philadelphia, havo
been speak. Tho origiqators of this
demonstration, among whom is Joioph J.
O???Donoboo, Jwpo to mako this tho largest po
litical meeting over held down town.
With tbe democracy of New York united
there is no reason why Cleveland should not
curry New York stato by 40,000 majority.
Ikdi anapolim, October 24.???Ex-Govornor
Hendricks reached* Indianapolis tbii morn
ing, ond wns inot by a committee, throe bands
of music and a lorge crowd. Ho was eieortod
to tho Central hotel, and a creditable parado
of visiting clubs ond local organizations fol
lowed. At 10:30 a. m. Mr. Hendricks appear
ed at the wigwam and addressed au audience
of 10,000. In hi* speech ho discussed tho
tariff, arguing that tho duties should bo levied
only for the purpose ol defraying tho expenses
of tuo government. Ho said Mr. Cleveland
receives support from tho best elements of tho
republican party, including ministers, scien
tists, college protessors, students, editors
and laborers. He emphasize* tho fact
that the democrats, looked for a strong support
from the independent republicans. Inclosing,
lia eulogized tho democratic party, saying It
espoused tho couse of tbe weak against tho
strong, of the poor against tho rich, of tho op
pressed against tho oppressor, llo also paid a
tribute to Mr. Lincoln, saying ho was tho host
republican president ever elected. Tho speech
was frequently interrupted by applause.
I???olltie'ul Notes,
The finance* of Wisconsin has boon so well
managed that there is to be no state tax this year.
Cleveland is getting {cady to be president
by doing bis work as goVernor. Ho does not
require tbe attendance of a circus mau and a brass
band.
The public credit of South Carolina stand*
higher to day than for any date during the past
forty yesrs. She pays spot cash and has the cash
to pay.
St. John, in a speech, remarked: ???Water,-
what a blessing! why, two thirds of this g\pbe Is
water." ???Yes," Interrupted a voice, ???It???s not fit
to drink, though."???Brooklyn Times.
Is the Aster house on Saturday Mr. Mile*
Row, of New Jersey, offered to bet with another
Jersey msn 95,000 that Cleveland will carry New
Jersey; $5,CC0 that ho will beat Blaine la Now
York state, end a like amount that Cleveland will
be elected president, and although a number of
Blaine men were present, none of tbe wagers were
taken.

New York October 21.???[Special.]??? 1 The
indorsement today by the conventions of
Irving Hall and the County Democracy of
.ex-Muyor William R. Grace for the next
mayoralty puts the second democratic candi
date in the field. Municipal politics here
now bfglns to get exciting, interest is
growing intense, and is beginning to attract
almost os much attention as the campaign of
the various presidential candidates. The
Tammanyitrs are bold and determined, the
County Democracy and Irving Hall bitter
and working with a vim, and the republicans
are as cool butconfideut, basing their hopes
on a continuance of the schism in the demo
cratic columns. They stand but little show
ing, however, and the probability is that the
next mayor of New York will be either Hugh
J. Grant, Tammany???s nominee, or ex-Moyor
William R. Grace, who bar been sent forth
by the combined indorsement of Irving Ilall
ond the County Democracy. New York is a
democratic city by from 40,000 to 00,000 in a
square fight, and neither the city nor the
stAte has ever been carried by the republicans
when there has been anything like harmony
in the ranks of the democrats. The question
now being most generally considered among
politicians of tho city is tho effect
the democratic nominations will havo
on the vote of the city in the presidential
eltclion. Democrats all concede that it will
result in the poll of a larger vote for the
democratic candidates. Grant and Grace are
both Immensely wealthy and both have the
confidence of the people. Roth are personal
friends of Governor Cleveland, and will re
main faithful to him with their influence.
Both wings of the party will make a most
earnest fight and will spare no means nor en
deavors to bring out every vote in tho city.
Of course this will .help Cleveland. In tho
city of New York thero are 720 election pre
cincts, at each one of which Tammany will
have eight workers, paid at the rate of from
five to ten dollars for their day???s work. This
will give Tammany 13,000 active and paid
supporters at the polls on the day of the
election, whose duty is to bo at the polls ear
ly, to vote straight and to sco that ns many
others os possible do tho same
thing. These workers will use
their every exertion for Cleveland.
Mr. Grant, with other candidates on his
ticket, will subscribe $100,000 for a campaign
fund. Ex-Moyor Grace will do tho same
thing, and his ticket will increase it to a half
million, if necessary. The democratic state
central committee will place an additional
$100,000 in tho city for a^Clovcland fund.
The^national democratic committee will stand
by the presidential nominees to a tuno ot
another $100,000.
Now the question ls, r can"Uie???Blalne mana
gers put anything liko a similar amount in
New-York city? Over all other sections of
the state the republicans are losing confidence
and tbe most earnest work and a laige.amount
ol money will bo necessary to bring Blaine
to New York city with any majority at all.
Unless ho carries New York city with a ma
jority of 20,000 his chances aro gone. In
Connecticut the machine is clamoring for
funds ond declare that unloss they go
collateral and a large lot of it
the state will vote for Cleveland.
In tho last Oh'o election over $200,000 was
used by the republicans to hold tho state. At
least this sum must bo distributed in that
???tato for the November fight or the republi
cans will lose what HUlo plurality they man
aged to retain. Wisconsin, Michigan aud Il
linois are becoming so alarmed that the most
urgent importunities are bslng sent to the
republican committee by/tho managers in
these states for funds to build up in thoso
states what the nomination of Blaino has
broken down.
Iowa and California republicans want
funds, and the .more the better, otherwise,
those states, now doubtful, may tu* i >.o in the
democratic column. To sum it up, tho re
publicans cannot afford to put that aiuouut
which la necessary In New York city, unless
It ho taken from other quarters, which ore
absolutely In need of it.
In New Y'ork city the democrats aro gutted
on the national ticket and ait working under
the most admirable system. The nomina
tion. of the two branebes^of tho democracy
for the mayoralty of the ticket will un
doubtedly help Cleveland. Had tho county
democracy and Irving hall Indorsed the
Tammany ticket it would havo giveu offunso
to a largo clement of independent republi
cans, their press and many regular democrats
and it might bavecost Cleveland ayvery largo
vote. As It is, all branches arc united on
Cleveland and Hendricks. There is nothing
bu?? the most flagrant treachery in Tam
many hall that will lose Cleveland any votes.
Hence the all-absorbing question if, ???Will
Tammany prove faithful???? It will. John
Kelly???s recent visit to Cleveland was not
without significance. A very prominent In-
dianian, a friend of his, reports him M hav
ing said to him:
???When you return to Indiana yon I want
to say to Mr. Hendricks for me that Tarn many
ball will prove as true to the national demo
cratic ticket as tbe needle to the pole. Tho
charge that the Hall pro\>o*??c3 to sell out
Cleveland by making a deal to elect our
county ticket is infamously false. I have
personally pledged my honor to Governor
Cleveland that be should have my earnest
and cordial support, and he shall. Let them
all say what they please, bnt I never violated
my personal pledge in my life. There has
been a wonderful improvement developed in
this city and state for Cleveland withio the
last two weeks. It is surprising. The Ohio
election has only had tho effect to stir up the
df inocrats and make them more determined.
This Mate will go for Cleveland and Hendrick*,
and Tammany Hall will contribute 50.000
votes to the triumph. Hay this to Mr. Hen
dricks for me, and tell him that he need h.ivo
r.o fear of Tammany Ilall or tho rcsalt in
'???New York state.???
In all, tbe prospects of the democracy are
glowing. If Tammany does its duty, and it*
roost prominent members declare that it will,
New York and Brooklyn will give Cleveland
60,000 majority. _ ?? v

Mr. Beecher made a Cleveland speech in

profound sensation. He spoke uhder tho

and the crowd and enthusiasm were unpre

MAN???A MASTERLY EFFORT.
When Mr. Bcccher came forward, tho va*t audi
ence aroze and cheered and shouted and clapped
hands and indulged in an outburst of enthusiasm.
The dopwmtrntfons wero so pronounced that Mr.
Beecher was unable to speak for several mluutcs.
When the audlenco had fairly tired themselves
oat, eud were hoarse with shoutlug, and uot bo-
fore, did they allow him to proem!. Then he
???imply (Rid, but with exquislto drolluess that
convulsed the audience, ???Well, gentlemen, I hope
you feel better." Ho then went off and spoko for
an hour and a half, exciting hi* auditors to laugh
ter and applause. The demonstrations of appro
val were ro pronounced and so frequent that tho
speaker was obliged to ask his hearers, good-na
turedly, not to tnko up so much of hh
time. His address was a masterly ono as an ora
torical effort. The mere language, however, lit
erally transcribed, fails to do anything Uke justice
to its merit* in this respect. Mr. Beecher???s voice
was itrong and clear, and the tones rang through
tbe hall liko tho blast of a trumpet. When he
spoke of his early efforts In behalf of tho republi
can party and his zeal while tho rebellion was ot
Its height, his earnestness was unmistakable, and
bis quivering lip and faltering voico bore token to
tbo depth of feeling which these. memories
awakened in him.
???I confess," said Mr. Beecher, "at the risk ot tho

crowd this afternoon. Tho torch light pro
cession, which he reviewed from tho liotel to
night, was tho largest yet seen horo, 4,000
marchers being in lino. At tho wig we in, Mr.
Hendricks mado a twenty-minutes, speech,
lie Eaid:
On Tuesday week you will bo called on to say
whether the republican party shall bo kopt iu
power, burely the republicau party has been In
iMtwer as long as auy one party ought to bo. Mr.
Blaine tells you that tho prosperity of tire country
depends on a high protective tariff. During tho
Inst twenty years more than six havo been years
of panic. I???ll tell you what brings prosperity-it
is fair, equal and Just laws. [Cheers.] Wo cannot
have ptoaperity while the taxation law* nro un-
Jm't and unequal. Tray, tell me how tiie tariff
laws become unequal aud unjust? What party
has allowed them to become so?
A voice???That very republican party.
Mr. Hendricks??? 1 That party is not longer to bo
trusted. Tho democratic party declare* for tho
equalization of these laws; that taxation shall not
exceed the requirements of tho government, and
that tuxes shall he highest on articles ol luxury
und lowest on article* of necessity. What
is wrong with that? {Applause.]
An adjustment based on justice ts
w bat we want. How much higher than tho pres
ent tariff docs Blatue want it? An additional vault
has been dug in tho. treasury building, and It Is
being filled with the i>cople???M silver. That vault is
to hold 950,660.000 of the people???s sliver. The
question Is. shall we dig more vaults and bury the
treasure of tbe country, or shall wo leavo thu uioti-
evMu the pockecsof the people atul in the chermals
of trade, and stimulate tho busluess interest* ol

TUB LK.VHF.Hri CONFIDENT,
I visited both state and national head*

They intend to hold tlireo hundred more be
fore the eloetton.
There were over seven thousand dry goods
men in line to-day. This is the first year
