C., April 8—The movement of the Ohfo Democrata hera to secure an alll- ance with the Greenbackers for the fall cam- palgn has a much wider significaocothan amere effort to carry Ohio. It was conceived by the {rlends of Senator Thurman andio his fnterest. for the Presidency as ogainst Senator Bayard and tho Eastern bard-money wing of the party. It was bold by the Thurman men that if the Ohlo Democrats could bu brought to indorsothe “platform demanding tho substitution of green backs for tho National-bank circulation, the free coinage of sliver, and the placing of sll- yer bulifon on au equality with gold, it woul, _ then be easy to capture the Greenback party; tod by running prononaced paver inilationists Uke Gen, Ewlng for Governor the Democrats could carry Ohio. such a success, it is held by the friends of Thurman, would, 1n viow of the importance of securing the Electoral yote of Oblo, compel the Easter’ Democrats to ACOEPT THURMAN, “It fs intended that ho shall be the most promt- nent speaker in the coming campalgn as ncan- didate for the Presidency, Those who aro at work fo the movement belicve that by this con- dition they can forestall the action of the East- ern Democrats, and compel them to yield tothe Western Democratic ideas of finance. Hereto- fore, the Eastern Democrats have held that the necessity of carrying the Electoral vote of New York to the olection of a Democratic President would oblige Western Democrata to walyo their suft-money heresies, and support a candidate acceptable to Naw York. This move of the Thurman men fs for tho purpose of TURNING THE TADLES on the Eastern Democrats, sud claiming that as the Greenbackers and“Democrats nt the West havo agreed to act togother they will unitedly constitute the controlling clement in the party, and each must yleld and accept such a candidate as Thurman, ond such a platform as will secure tho'capture of the Greenback organization. ‘Tho Thurman men claim that a marked success in Oblo’ by a union with the Greenbackers would bo a notice to Eastern Democrats that no such man ge Scnator Bayard could be clected Presi- dont If nominated, Senator Barnum, Chalrman of the National Democratic Committee, expresses to his friends his belief that the forcing of the extra seasion wos A. MOST UNFORTUNATE BLUNDER, and that ip the debate which has thus far pro- Rressed the Democrats have suffered severely before the country, Ho even govs so far us to say that, in his opinion, the scasion and the debate already had havo lost the Democrats a imiliton yotes. Hosees no prospect of the party recoy- erlng any ground as the discusaton progresses; but, on the contrary, admits that uothing can bo said which will better the situation, ‘There is no doubt but that life vlews ore shared by a umber of prominent Democrats bere. ESTIMATES, ‘The Democrats iu their programmo for a fusion in the Western States with the Green- backers baso thelr claims to success upon the following estimates of the relative strength of the partis in the States named, which they soy have been compiled from the late election re- turns: In Michigan the Republicans hnd Jast year on the election fora Guyernor 45 per cen of the yoto cast, the Democrats 20 per cent, and the Greenback-Nationals 26 per cent, and the twounited could thus hope todefeat the Re- publicans. Again, that in Iiinols the Republicans had in 1876 0X per cent of the total vote, and the Democrats 46 per cent, and the Nationals the reat, glving the Republicans a very small ma- Jorlty over all, but that the Greenback-Na- tlonal yote in the State increased from 17,233 in 1878 to 53,125 last. yoar, and to combine it now with the Democratic vate would enable the coalition to carry the Stato fr 1880. Again, that in 1876 tho Ropublicans tn lowa had 83g percentof the vate, ant the Demo- crate only 883g per cont, the rest being scatter- fog, but that lust year the Republicans had but. 5g percent of the vote, and the Democrats and Inflationists tuvether the rest, and thata complete coalition, with bard work, could carry the Btate, TH INDIANA, in 1878, the Democrats and Greenbackers to- Bether had 50} per cent of the vote. In Malne, in 1878, the Republicavs had 45 per cent of the total vote, the Democrata 23 per ceot, und the Natlonals 82 per cent, giving a coalition 55 per cent of the total, In New Hampshire, in 1878, the Republicans had only 5034 per cent of the yote; the Dema- erate 41 per cent, and the Nationals 1234. Jn Colorado, Inst year, the Republicans had only a tritlug majority over all, thy Domocrate having 40fper cent, aud the Natlonals uearly 05f per cent. 4n Connecticut Isat year, on the State ticket, the Republicans bad not a mojorlty over all, tho Democrats and Greenbavkers added togeth- « er having 6344 per cont of the total vote, wile for Congressinyn, wherp extra elforta were made, the Republicans had only 160 majority iu ‘tne Btate over all. “ WON'T HAVE It, Leading Greenbactiors here say that there will bo no coalition in Oblo. ‘They say thut the Vburiuah oieo haye already approached them here, and hayo offered to allow them to make a latforas jo Olio, und to chovse ull olllees on teket "except that of Governor, These offers the Greonbackers say they have rejected, for the Feoson that they do not bellove in a coalition, ‘They have been sold out by the Dewocrats hers and clsewbere, and they believe they Luye strength enough to whip both parties. THER TEST-OATH, AN IMPORTANT POINT, + Spseta Dispatch to ‘ths Tribune, Wasuuiatow, D. C., April &—~The opposl- * flon of Benator Edmunds to the repeal of the i i Jurora’ test-oath in the Senate to-day will a! tract attention. Democratic newspapers will undoubtedly tnsist that it shows tho hypocrisy of rome Republican assertions. No Repub- Iican has been authorized to speak for tho party on this queation, and the moro Inwyers like Ed- munds examina It the tess they are inclined to. favor the repeal of tho jurors’ test-oath. For that matter, now that the crusade against tho Reoubilean War-legislation has been formally opened by tho announcement of Joc Blackburn tliat ‘We da not propose to stop until every vestica of the War-legislation {s torn from We atatute-books,"” thers ara fow Republicans who desire to ali the Democrats in their unholy purpose. The section, 820, which presents the Lest-oath, after citing rebellion or ald to rebel- Mon as causes of disqualification, contains this clause: "Ur tu have resiated or to bo nbout to resist with forco of asins the excention of the Jaws of the United States? This language, Senator Edmunds and other Republicana will claim, docs not refer to the Rebellion, but may operate now to prevent White-Liners, Red- Suirts, hud thugs of all kinds who continue to defeat the Federal Election laws, or Moon- aliiners who reek to defy or have defied the Tntornal Revenue laws, from sitting on juries to try membersof thetr own Inmgue. This is a view which the Democrats have not taken of it. THE NRASON. ‘Urgent appeats fram South Carolina Demo- crats and personal friends of the 250 ballot-box afufters waiting trial before Judge Bond in the United States Court at Charleston, to hurry the repeul of the Jurors’ test-oath section of ths Re- vised Statutes In. order, doubtless, that the Southern jury-boxes might be Mled up with ex- Confederates who sympathize with that class of criminals, prompted the introduction of the bill in the Senate. ‘The measure was placed in charge of Senator Bayard, in expectation probably that with euch a respectable sponsor no opposition would be offered. But the Re- publivans were not caught. They fully unier- stood the totive that prompted the procved- jos, and Senator Edmunds futerposed the fatal objection which sent the bill to the Ju diclary Committee. ‘The Lecisiative bill con- {aina the repeal of thesc identical sections, but the Democrats, anticipating a Presidential veto, evldgntly wished to take time by the foretovis. In this case ft suits a pressing purty emergency in South Carulina to havo the test-oath legisla- Hou rushed through as an Independent measure, IN TH’ HOUSE, ‘THB LEGISLATIVE DILL. ; Hoeciat Dienatch ta The Trioune, f “Wasurnoton, D.

SECRETARY BUENMAN AND THE YOND CONVER- BIONS. Spectat Disputed to Tae Tribune, Wasuinatoy, D. G., April 8—Secretary Shere mou, iu his interviews in New York, las given the impression, which the ‘Treasury authorities here appeur to cucourage, thut, because the Gper-cent bonds have ull been called, there is uo way in which persons desiring 4-per-cents can get them from thy Government util sone hew urrangement ta determined upon with regard to the cull for the refunding of the ten-forties, Indeed, it is suld by a local, paper that Secretary Sherman! a day or two ayo received a telegram from a New Yorls bank asking If it could purchase $1,000,000 - THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY- APRIL 9, ! fn certificates and convert them immediately in- to 4 per cents, and that the Secretary RELIED IN THR NEGATIVE, This statement {a not altogether disingenuous. Its competent for any person now desiring to invest in 4 per cent bonds, who prefers to ob- tain them from the Government rather than a bank, to get them directly from the Treasury, through the purchase of tha new 810 refunding certificates. The law authorlzing the refunding certificates = is. very expltcit, and says distinctly that they aro 'con- Vertible at any time with accrued Interest Into the 4 percent bonds described in the Refund- ing act” The certfflcates upon their face say this, The Sceretary of the Treasury, therefore, haa no discretion, If any person holding, the #10 refunding certificates presents them at the Treasury in sums from $50 sud upwards, the Treasury is compelled to convert them into 4 per conts, whether the 6 per cents aro taken or not, or whether any new arrangoments aye been made for calltng the 10-109 or not. ‘The reason why the Treasury dislikes to avoid converting the $10 certificates fs sald to be that. the Treasury Dopartmont desires to have the now form of lonn GET AMONG THE PEOPLE as foras possible, und atl obstacles that can be thrown in the way of such attempted transac- tions as that noted will be utilized. ‘The imme- (inte conversion of certificates into 4 pee cent bonds would bo o costly transaction for the Treasury. They cannot, Hke greenbacks, be relesued when converted. ‘The printing bills would, therefore, count up more than desirable. SENATOR BELL. ARGUMENT ON 1118 CASE IN THE SENATE.

In Cincinnats espe- clally the course of the Confederate Congress was brought urominently to the front, atid local tonslderations were almost wholly lost sight of. ‘The Democrats had the prestige of success nt the last city election. They nominated candl- dates of exceptional strength, ‘They worked with indefatizable energy, and had the finest or- gantzatlon at the polls ever scen in the city, So confident were they of success, that soon after the close of the polls a band was hired to screnado Col. Harris, their candidate for Mayor, and bets were freely offered on 3,000 to 5,000 majority. So far ns local considerations were concerned the ad- vantage wason the Demoeratic site, and but for their national platform they would un- doubtedly haye carried the day by n good ma- jority. That platform, which was prepared by Judge Honiley, author of the famous Oregon Elcctorat Opinfon, hailed the assembling of the Democratic Congress as the cause of rejalcing; denounced the present Adimtulstration as usurp. Ingand fraudulent; charged the Republicans with assessing vast sutns of money upon Feds, cral officeholders; with cndcavoring to matn- taiu an extravagant and —-unneces- sarily © numcrous army to thwart, by violence the will of tho people; with ualny clectioncering agents atthe polls un- der the name of United States Supervisors and Marshals to arrest men without warrant; with degrading the courts into partisan tuchines, and with a long category of other crimes, One section of the platform was as follows: Wo belleve that the real object of tho Repubiic- an leaders is the sndverslon of the States and the extablishinent of a centralized government repub- Mean in name only, but in substantial character and real stracture imperial. Wo believe that: 16 the purpose uf the Nopublican party to endeavor by force or fraud to hold continucd possession of tho Sedoral Government notwithalanding defeat at the palls, and that nothing but ap overwhelming manifestation of public realstance will cauao thy abandonment of thie design. ‘The platform concluded with ademand for the repeal of the Election laws, und pledged the Democrats of Cincinnat! to sustain the niujority In Congrezs in their declared puroose to refuse te vote the Governnient o doliar until the odious legislation was atripped from the statute- books, [nut olatform aroused the elty, and brought out the unpre ented vote at a spring election ot 42,300, ‘The majoritics of the Re- publieans range from 400 to 1,100. ‘fhe Demo- crates endeavor to explain by saving that the eandidaey vf a German, Charies Jacobs, for Mayor nrouscd the sptrit of German clannishness, ‘The fuct is that dacobs, with one or tivo exceptions, is the loweat candi- date on the tleket.

Dayton and Hamilton, hitherto Democratic, gave good Ropublican majorities. ‘fhe Repubileans atso carried the day in Urbana, Zanesville, Lancaster (county seat of a strong Confederate county), Alliance, Lima, Cireleville (frst time for years}, Sidney, ‘Troy, Athens, Bellefontaine, ete. No spring aloctions slice the War have oxclted such gen- oral interest. _ COLUMBUS. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. Corumnys, O., April 8—The overwhelming defout of the Democratic elty ticket yesterday, with onc or two exceptions, lins been the sub- ject of congratulation to-day, At midnight tho streats wera crowded. When the announce- ment was mado that the Republican ticket had been elected by 1,800 majority, the cautious Re- publicans could hardly comprehend thatso great avictory had been gained, and were unprepared forthe announcement, this morning, that the Democratic bummer element were defeated by noarly 1,809, showing a gain of about 2, over the municipal yote polled two years aga. While thero {fs n disposition on the part of the Republicans to be modest fn taking the credit of the yictoryto themaclves, the figures, a8 compared with the yote st the last election, show the Democratic vote of ycstor- day to be but 800 less than the Democrats poll- ed at Uttine. The great change fs attributable to tio causca—tirst, the Democratic party was vained contro} of by the very lowest elements of voclety, backed up by the free uso of money by the gambllng fraternity, and the Young Men's Democratle Club, who: assumed to take wot only the management of the City Government, but of the State Itself, giving the older members of the party no opportuolty to even consult in relatlon to candidates, A nom- ination being considered equivalent to un ctec- Uon, the bummers vained control of the prinia- ries, which resulted in the nomination of Col, Neil Denison, No sooner was the nomination mado than the bummers conducted themselves 80 outragcously as to disgust the respectable portion of the Democratle party, Tho secon Teason was that of the present attitide of the Democratic majority, in Congress. The — dissatisfaction “on” “this account is more = generally — notieeablu = among the Germans wud ex-soldiers, tho former huv- ing evidently arrived at the conclusion that either the Rebel soldiers must be pensioned or ihe Natioval Governinent starved. Many onen- v helleve another war gsvoms Inevitable unless the North again bucomes united. The Northern Democrats in Congress ure severely denounced as but mentate that do the bidding of thelr Southern inuaters, From the fact that the Democratic preas of the city had placed much steniicanes on the Lnportance of o rouslig Democratic victory at the home of Senator Thur- touu, the defeat sustained yesterday is regarded a8 u serious lujury to tat gentleman, a6 woll as the Democratic State tlekot this fall.
