REPRESENTATIVE BARBOUR THINKS BOTH SAFE FOR CLEVELAND. Representative Barbour, of Virginia, chairman of the Virginia democratic committee, and a member of the democratic gational committee, was in the city to-day, having just returned from New York. He spent several days there, chiefly at democratic headquarters, and he says that New York is by the democrats considered entirely safe for Cleveland. Col. Barbour says he has no doubt of Cleveland's election. He does not know much about Ohio, but ne all ols advices from that state are encoura- Reported Reaction in New Yorks DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT OF CARRYING THE STATE. A prominent politician who has been watching the situation in New York, returned from there this morning and called at the democratic headquar- ters here. He has had confidential talk with mem- bers of the national committee in New York and was present at the “business demonstration.” He says there is now no doubt about Cleveland's car- tying the state of New York. There 1s a general reaction in his favor which has sprung up within the last few days with remarkabie activity, and everybody about the democratic headquarters there 4s perfectly confident. ‘The business men of New York, he says, are comtng out boldly for Cleveland. Notes From Democratic Headquarters. A letter was received at democratic headquar- ters this morning from the secretary of the demo- cratic state committee of Iowa stating that the democrats feel very sure of sending B, J. Hall to represent the first district in Congress, and that if Ohto goes democratic Tuesday Iowa will follow in November. Secretary Post. recetved a letter this morning from a lawyer at Titusville, Pa., who asks for the recently issued pension document, and saying that there was a good prospect of the election of Joun L. McKinney to represent the twenty-sixth Penn- sylvania district in Congress. He says that the agitation of the pension question is doing the dem- ocrats much good among the members of the Grand Furnishing Political Information. QUESTIONS WHICH THE SECRETARIES OF THE CON- GRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES HAVE TO ASK —THE COMMITTEE ROOMS SUPPOSED TO BE VAST BTOREHOUSES OF INFORMATION—SIGNS THAT THE CAMPAIGN IS GETTING WARM, At democratic headquarters they say they don’t get, on an average, two requests for tariff docu- ments in a day. They have Randall’s, Hurd’s, War- ner’s, Yaple’s, and Morrison’s speeches, but there 1s no demand for them. In the first part of the cam- paign Voorhees’ speech on the McSweeney @ise was the principal document, and probabiy two million of them have been sent out. Now nearly all the requisitions are for “Mulligan letters,” ‘Hocking Valley bonds,” Post’s speech on Tres frauds, the pension documents, and labor stats ‘The Mulligan letters and Hocking Valley circular are sent out from New York, the others, together with a great number of Curtin’s speeches on land grants, are sent out from here. Some of the letters received each day are curious. ‘Those from some of the candidates Who are run- ning for Congress for the first time are particularly so. One man wrote to have several thousand of every sort of document the committee has, includ- ing ‘thelr campaign book and McPherson’s hand book of politics sent to him at once, as he had a big fight before him. Another, who 1s running against a man who has served 15 years in Congress, asked for his oppo- Nent’s yote upon and atittude towards every im- portant question under discussion during the time e has been in the House. ‘Theso and a thousand such questions come in every day together with many long letters of advice as to the inethod of carrying on the campaign to occupy the attention of Mr. Post. To answer those asking for legitimate information tavolves an im- mense amount of labor. Mr. Creecy and a corps of half a dozen assistants, are constantly occupied in looking over the records and getting up statistics, ‘To answer some letters of half a dozen lines, tt re- uires four or five days of hard work looking rough musty Congressional Globes and old cen- fus statistics, Some of the questions, again, may be answered by a slinple referénce to the almanac, or sometimes to the Revised Statutes, which was probably at the writer's hand when he'sat down to make the inquiry. One man wrote for all corres- Ppondence the State department has ever had with relation to Cuba, and another wanted everything that has ever been published about the star route a The same Sort of correspondence ts received at the republican headquarters. When a republican campaigner in any part of the country is asked a question, which he 1s not prepared to answer, or there is a charge made against his party which he 1s unable to refute, he writes to Secretary McPher- son. All this correspondence Mr. McPherson at- tends to himself, with the asistance of a stenogra- pher only. With his wonderful stock of information ecan answer many of the questions without refer- ence to the records, but some letters call for seve- ral days hard work. The land grant document recently issued was in answer to one of these let- ters of Inquiry, as was also the document on the Tepublican party as the friend of soldiers and lors, bot of which were the result of an im- mense amount of labor. Since the campaign has begun to get hot there has been a change in the character of the political correspondence. The long prophetic communica- tions are not so numerous. ‘The letters are abrupt and to the point. They consist generally of one Une dashed off, from the scene of battle, asking tor some important information. From Ohio no letters are received.

They claim their confidence 1s increas- Ing every hour. ‘The republicans are not saying much, but still hold to their assertion that the state will give them elght or ten thousand. The democratic mass meeting last night was an im- mense affair. Hendricks and Thurman aroused the wildest enthusiasm.

As a collision was tnevitable should both parties parude, the republicans abandoned thelr out-door demonstrations and will content themselves with a massmeeting at Music hall, Thus, for the first time in many years the demo- erats’ will have a parade here the Saturday night before election.

ANXIETY AT REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS. At the republican headquarters, ex-Senator Chaf- fee, who is the chairman of the executive commtt- tee, was found this morning surrounded by Messrs.

THE EXCITEMENT. The excitement here over what the result 1s to be permeates all people and classes. Nothing else 1s talked about, not only among the politicians, but among the people. ‘This unusual concern evidently comes from the opinion, which appears to be uni- versal, that as Ohio goes on Tuesday so will go the country on the 4th embel 3. ¥.

Since 187, when the republicans were ousted from power, there has bern no campaign tn tis state that approached im general interest the ‘one to be terminated at next Tuestay’s election, Attempts of the republicans of late years to rogain power have been hardly more than matters of form. Their minority was hopeless and they knew: 1, But the election of Mr. Goff to Congress by them in the Wheeling district two years ago and certain acts since then by the democratic authorl- ties looking to oppressive taxation renewed hope, and the present contest was entered with much realearnestness. So closely and with such confi- dence has it been pushed that the result is yet fairly a matter of doubt. A general election occurs in this state but once in four years. A fet state oMcers and the legis- lature are elected every two years at the elections at which congressmen are chosen. ‘This leaves the People free from political excitement during every: other year, save Such ripples as may be created ab town or municipal elecuions, HOW GEN. GOFF WON IN 882. The election of 1882 evoked so Iittle interest that Dut 90,000 votes were cast out of & possible 130,000, Defection among the democrats in at least two of the four congressional districts was largely the cause of tbls apathy. Many democrats in the Wheeling district openty bolted thelr candidate for Congress. His nomination had been secured after @ bitter contest Unat left in its trail much bad feeling. The republicans in that district were united, and all were In favor of Gen. Gufs candi- dacy. “He had made a splendid run two years before against a popular democrat.

AS explained above, the poll then Was com paratively light, and the’ democrats were badly Split up. “The republican yote then was quite ful, being Within 3,000 of the vote for Garficid.

THE DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF THE GRRENBACK PARTY. From the fact that the straight republican vote has ranged steadily within a few thousand for sev- eral years past the democrats now argue that be- tween 1880 and 1882 the back party in this state dissolved, the name retaimed by a few political traders only for selfish purpose. They confess that attempts at revival have been made since 1882, and that labor organizations have to a ‘smail extent been enlisted in that cause. But they say such enlistment merely detracts from the straight republican strength and adds nothing to fusion, and they are uowilling to admit that we gTeenback force now, with {ts labor accretions, 18 more than half what ft was when the greenback candidate for governor recelved 13,000 votes in 1880. bens Speyer) en the other hand, that by so much as labor tation has been thcreased at the mines and milis for two years past ihe fa sion ticket will be through one or the other ‘of the fusion. In this ined, but shops that were THE TAXATION OF FARM PRODUCTS. Gains from other sources, however, ably be expected. The farming element is under no obligations to the democrats for part of the past year’s work. The democratic governor, on ques- Uonable authority, has ordered that farm products held by the farmer for his own use shall be listed for taxation. There 1s a statute exempting such products. The governor's conclusion that Uis stat- ute Was unconstitutional was reached by analogy. It Was provided in the constitution of 1863 that no class of property should be exempted. In i868 a Special act, chartering the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad through this state, exempted that road from taxation ‘until its net ¢arnings shoutd reach ten per cent of the cost of construction. "The cliur- ter Was granted with this provision as an induce. ment to the road to come Into the state. AU the revision of the constitution, in 1878, the clause in- hibiting exemption was retained." Atter a while the point was raised in the Jegislature against the railroad company that its charter, so far as it .allowed exemption, was unconstitutional, ‘The question went to the lower court, and then to the court of appeals, and by both the point was sus tained. ‘Ihe company appealed to Une Supreme Court of the United States, where the case is pend- ing. The ultimate appedl was allowed on the ground that the company was a citizen of Virginia. As Such reason could not be pleaded by those Whom the farmers’ exemption statute Was Intended to benefit, the governor, after long deliberation, an- nounced that if the Special privileges granted to the railroad company were unconstitutional, any special privileges were equally so. The order Was accordingly issued " for the sessment of such — product & question of law, aud uni ‘opened it was discussed from only.

Tt 1s plain that in order to carry the state the fusionists must pol! more than their greatest for- mer aggregate by at least 3,000 votes The full vote of the state has never been cast. It amounts to about 135,000. In 1850, when 1t Wasless uy prob- abiy 6,000, Uhere were cast.112,000 votes. That cam- paign Was fought as @ foregone conclusion, so far as thls state Was concerned.
