Corresponaence of The Eveninz Star. CoLumaus, Ou10, October 28, 1892. The highest total vote ever cast in Ohio was | 841,941 for Harrison and Cleveland for Presi- dent four years ago. The average increase in | knew what was going on. total vote between presidential elections for the | last score of years has been 53,487. If this rate of increase is maintained the total vote this year will closely approach 900,000. It will no doubt exceed any heretofore cast in Ohio. The activity of the voters in all parts of Ohio in the matter of registration indicates a deep interest in the election whic was not before apparent. The absence of the torchlight and fireworks features of campaigning, so familiar in recent Ohio political battles, gave the general impres- sion that Ohio voters were apathetic. ‘The re sult of the first two registration days has dem- onstrated the apathy is only apparent and not real.

The democratic statements differ greatly from those of Purnell, for they say Crawford will be elected by 1,000 majority. ‘The third party's vote inthe state Editor Purnell estimates at 35,000 to 40,000. He says the third party people overestimate their strength, As to what would be the republican and democratic vote he was reticent, saying he did not wish to give estimates “at this stage of He must mean by this that it is first necessary to know just how far the fusion of republicays and third party men will go. Mr. Parnell decldres that Furches. republican nomi- | nee for governor, will assuredly be elected good majority. “He in a mild way expresses doubt as to the taking down of the entire third party or republican ticket, though he would not deny that this might be done. For whch a taking down the democrats are now looking daily. The republicans have prom- ised to give the third party a majority in the legislature, provided the latter party will change the election law in the next legisla- ture. ‘The fusion organ, edited by J. C. L. Harris, has made and reiterated the statement that ‘Thomas Settle. republican congressional nomi- nee in the fifth district, had declared that he would not support the state ticket. Settle is out in a card in which he says this statement is unqualifiedly false, and that he will support the ticket carnestly. ‘The fusionixts also stated that ex-Gov.

Grand Lodge Officers Make a Call on Me- chanies' Lodge. The series of visitations now being made by the officers of the Grand Lodge to the several subordinate lodges of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows was continued last evening, the occasion being an official and fraternal visit to Mechanics’ Lodge, No. 18, which meets in “Our Hall,” 3210 N_ street, Georgetown. After the Grand Lodge officers had been | admitted conformably to the prescribed rules of the orghnization, Grand Mas- ter Crawshaw made the customary address, which was appropriately responded to | by Noble Grand Burdette, after which a brief recess was declared for social intercourse. The business being resumed the officers exemplified the workina very satisfactory mannerafter which followed the usual reportsas to the condition of the lodge, which was found to be very good.

The Movement Against the Writers Con- tinued in the Police Court, The first move made in the policy cases today s made by Lawyer Moss, when he appeared in Judge Miller’s court and asked that a day be set for the hearing in the case of Moses John- son, the colored man who is better known as “Mose” Johnson, Johnson, it is said, was thought to bea “spotter” because of the fact that he was often seen in company with officers of the police force. The charge against him is promoting policy. “My client,” said Lawyer Moss, “‘has now been confined in jail three weeks and I think he is | entitled to a trial,” Mr. Mullowney said he would confer with | Capt. Cole and would agree upon a day early next week. “Is there any reason why his bail should not | be reduced frem $1,000?” asked Mr. Moss. | “There is every 1eason in the world,” replied | Mr. Mullowney, “why the bail shou.d not be reduced.” Judge Miller thought that no harm would be jone by allowing the buil to remain at the amount fixed, MORE WITNESSES. John Carter and Susau Harris, colored, who were convicted and sentenced some days ago, | were brought in‘o court, and, upon. motion of Mr. Mullowney, the court changed their sen- tences, 80 that they were released today. it is said that they will be used a» witnesses | against some of the persons doing business across the river.

There was no rec- ord made of the indictment in the clerk’s office, | but it was known about the streets that such | action had been taken and Lawyer Sillers, their counsel, called at the city hall to make some arrangements for them to come in and give bail. ‘The officers were unusually active today. and something new in the prosecutions, in the way of « surprise, is promised either tomorrow or early next week. ae DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

Electric Lighting Company has compiained to the Com- missioners that the wire acioss the avenue on which the democratic banner is stretched crosses the line of his company, shutting off the cur- rent running the machinery and out all the lights in the city furnished by his com- pany. gi al: Was) ‘The Golden Cross. Grand Commander John N. Eble has an- nounced official visitations by the grand com- ander and ofleers of to Cran Qnlumantey of the United Order of the Cross to Union Veterans’ Union to vote for Gen. Harri- son. Department Commander Michael based his action on a section of the order's cons tion which declares one of the duties of the or- ganization to be “to support, aid and assist in the election to positions of public trust any and all true friends of the Union soldier, irrespect- ive of polities, creed or parts The publication of the department com- mander's ante-election document created quite | a furore among the members, especially among | those whose political tendencies are democrat: They decluret that Department Commander | Michael was endeavoring to use the order for | political purposes and would disrupt the | organization — unless somebody chained his wheel. Gen. S. 8. Yoder did that. He is commander-in-chief and, incidentally. democrat of considerable prominence, having formerly represented a democratic district of Ohio in Congress and now holding the office of sergeautat-arms of the democratic House of Representatives. Col. H. L. Street, Gen. Yoder's adjutant general, is also a democrat, likewise captain of the Capitol police. GEN. MICHAEL SUSPENDED, Gen. Yoder arrived im town last night and immediately the following order was issued: Heapqvantens Natioxat Commaxn, U. V.U., Wasurxoros, D. C., October 28. General Order, No. 4 1. Whereas the commander of the Depart- ment of the Potomac has, by a most insubordi- tate order to his department, arrogated to him- self the power to misconstrue the constitution, lee. and objects of the Union Veterans’ Union to be of such a nature that the comrades of this order of buttlefieid soldicrs must take their political action from the orders of com- manders; and, Whereas the said commander of said Depart- ment of the Potomac has in violation of his ob- ligation published important portionseof the constitution of the order through the public press and by broadcast circulars; and, whereas the said commander of said department has placed the order in a position to be one of ridicule and contempt among soldier organiza- tions, and has placed it in a position liable to defeat the ends of the order in the care of the widows and orphans of the order: and, whereas said commander of said depart. ment has without warrant or — author- ity directed that the members of the order take partisan side in the polities | of the coming presidential election; aud whereas | the order ix composed of Christian, od-fearing | men of all creeds and of all shades of political belief, as they were during war times, the fore all commands are requested and requi to disregard general order No. 2 of Gen. W liam H. Michael, commander of the Department of the Potomac, Union Veterans’ Union, and the came ix hereby revoked. 2. Gen. William H. Michael, communder of the Department of the Potomac, Union Veter- ans’ Union, is hereby suspended from said com- mand. 3. Gen. S. W. Baxter, deputy commander of the Departiment of the Potomac, Union Veter- ans’ Union, is hereby directed ‘to take com- mand of the Departinent of the Potomac imme- | diately. By command of Gen. 8. S. Yoder. H. L. Sraeer, Adjutant General. WHAT GEN. YODER SAYS. “There was nothing personal in my suspen- sion of Gen. Michael,” said Gen, Yoder toa Stax reporter this afternoon, Gen, Yoder was most unwilling to diseuss the matter, but he was good-natured about it. Finally he said: “My relations with Gen. Michael have been and are very pleasant. I satisfied ef bis honesty of purpose. but think his political prejudices got the be of his judgment this time. I could do nothing else than ‘suspend him. Many of the more | prominent of our members, republicans and, democrats, came to see me yesterday and | insisted on immediate action. I am sorry | this thing occurred. To me the cause of the old (soldier and his dependents | my utmost to keep them them out of the orde: If Gen. Michael's construction of our law is correct—and I know it 1s not--Icould not re- main within the organization. I am adem- ocrat, and am proud of the fact: I hold| an important position in a democratic House of Representatives and must, therefore, be en- tirely out of place at the head of a republican organization, for that is what my friend Michael says our union is, ‘This thing will be adjusted without diti- "he concluded. “Gen. Michael will be here in a little while; will, I feel sure, explain everything and take command of his depart- ment without further friction. Comments made by politicians run to theo- ries. Some of the guessers say that Mr. Michael was bound to put bis party under great obliga~ tion to him, even it did cost him «ome anno: ance in the U. V. U. Others are of the opinion that he desired to be made a martyr of, for then he would have the long end of a very sub- stantial lever. ONE VIEW OF GEN. YODER'S ORDER It was remarked by one old veteran that Gen. Yoder, in his suspension order, had committed | the offense for which Gen. Michael was sus- pended. Gen. Michael told every member that he ought to vote for Gen. Harrison. Gen. Yoder told them not to—that is, he ordered them to disregard Gen. Michael's utterances. Sentiment is to the effect that while Gen, Yoder | could do no less than suspend Gen. Michael iewed from a political standpoint, Gea. shael is decidedly on top at this time. -o- F THE MEETING, LAST DAY 01 The “Talent” at Benning Eager to Catch the “Long Shots’’ Prevalent on Such Occasions, This is the last day of the antumn meeting of the Washington Jockey Club, and another large crowd was present at the Benning course this afternoon, all anxious to strike one of the long shots which are pop- ularly associated with “get-away day.” The card called for six races, the Inst being a steeplechase over the full course.

Coal that is brought from the mines of Cam- berland by railroad brings 25 cents more a ton in Baltimore than that which is brought to Georgetown and sent around in boats, The difference is caused by the handling. That which comes vin the canal and river to Balti- more receives a handling at the mines when itis, loaded inte the cars which convey it to the boats, then is dumped, receives another dump when loaded into a vessel and another still at Baltimore when the boat to be loaded is reached. ‘That which comes by way of the railroad ts loaded directly on the care at the mines and is not handled again until Baltimore is reached. ‘The more the coal is handled the more i | becomes, and consequently the less valuable.
