But there are so m ements of un- certainly entering into the answer to the first of these Questions that a solution of it will not be reached by the unbiassed observer of the canvass until the canvass itselt is a great deul further advanced, or until the returns op the uigbtof the 10th ef October settle 1b beyond ravi, Both parties admit that tho result will have the force of a lever in determining the result in Novem- ber. Tue republicans say that if they carry the State by 10,000 in October they wiil carry it by 30,000 in No- vember. ‘The leverage will, in tucir judgment, be as three to one at least. The democrats In tho same way that if they win in October they will win by an increased majority in November, They do not estimate or fix the rato of leverage. But the republicans will not admit they will be defeated in November if they are beaten in October. Here is WHERE NOTH PARTIES JOIN 188CE, asalawyer would say, On this point the argumonts, for and against, which one hears at the several politi- cal headquarters assume their greatest interest for People outside the State. Those arguments | propose to reproduce for you according as I hhve heard them from one and another of the members of the two parties during a trip across the State anda few days sojourn here at the capital. To understand them more clearly it may be well to look back at Ohio’s politicul history. The State of Ohio has five elections in every four years. The regular annual elections jor State officers and Congressmen are held in the month of Detover. The election for Presidential electors takes piace, of course, as in the other States, ry fourth year, therefore, the political excitement here over the Presidency begins a month earlier than usual m other Btates, for the reason that the State election Is mado the preliminary battle to the great straggle over the President Tho same situation of ail Indiana, and used to in Pennsylvania betore the Key- Stone State a few years ago changod tho time of holding Hons § yel THY STATE ELECTION to November, and broke up the trio of indicative or Pioneer States, Pennsylvania’s position as leader naturally fell to Ohio, but tho carly concession of the Buckeye State to Hayes has transterrod the leadership to Indiava this time, and Obio, whether with good Judgment or not, hus been assigned by the politicians only a secondary place in the October battle, Should, unexpectedly, the republican flank be turned here the consequences might prove disastrous. A week ago this danger was hardly dreamed of, Tais woek it 1s Blirring tho thoughtful of the party leaders, and next week it will be the subject of most active precautionary labor. A week ago, while Indiana was. b the agitation of the campaign, Ohio was comparatively quiet, But the orators of both parties Lave burried across the border, the chances of victory here having Mruck the democrats with new force, and all are flying to their assigninents in city, tewn and hamlet, They flit {rom depot te depot; they run against each other in the hotels and on the streets; they are ot PANCING A QUADEE and chassézing with each other ali over the State, So | far all has been good nature, Quiet bas given place to activity, But activity, they tell me, will ve fol- lowed by hot blood, and possibly violence, in some the more excitable districts, Political parties hay fluctuated and vac perhaps than elsewhere in the Union, For § Vallandigharo was beaten 100,000 yotes in 180 yet his party carried the State in 1874 by near majority. Here was a most radical change of opinion on the part of 120,000 voters in eleven years, aud when it 1g remembered that tho average voto during these eleven years has been hardly more than 350,000 the proportion of change amounts to over thirty-three per cent Again, while parties have been so widely disproportioned as when the republicans carried tho State against “Vallandighain by this famous 100,000 majority they have been so evenly balanced on other ns that in 1 Wi as elected Governor by a ma- Jority of only S17 out of a total vote of about $25,000.

Thompson, upto hiseyes in business, with at least | twenty Unopened telegraphic messages on tho desk beloré him claiming bis attention. The hum of the canipargn could be heard all over the premises, Tt was ty govd forcuve here to get an imterview with General Yiomas Ewing. But had totake him “on the tly,! as 4 base ball player would say, Hoe was under an engage- ment to go down ib the direction of Marietta and was obliged lo cateh the [oar o'clock train, Would I walk with him to the depot? As the time was five minutes to four, and ag the depot was (uree-quarters of a mile yt General led me w bot race m my auxiety to keep up with him and get bis views. The town Glock agruck gho hour as we were en route to the depot, but fortana'ely the train was a hittle Jate or the (olling of the following bit of Listory might have beer i from questi Ke clics—the | thoee sent out | 1s a compliment | | | from all the many others whom I bad talked with, Very naturally the tirst question 1 asked him was what he thought of the prospect. “Oh, it’s satisiactory,” he said; ‘if we eould hold tho election to-morrow we should win without doubt.” It wili be noticed that he indorsos in this the opinion of Senator Thurman, We were beaten last year by 5,006 votes We cun reverse the majority then given against us, even if the vote this year is as heavy as it was last, which was the jargest im the history of the State. It is hard.y likely wut be so large, however, but 1t will not fall of mucu, think.” ‘How do you account for your defeat of last year?” “It was ail owing to the German vote.’? “That explauation will surprise a great many people, particularly in the East.” “L will te you Low it was. The Germans were alomiated trom our support through religious and pot through fluaueial reasous."? “Iudeed! Do the Germans tke such an interest io the religious question?” “Ob, yes; particularly the German Lutherans, exclu- sive of ihe '48 men,” “Aud do they tec as earnestly about this subject im politics as the bative Americans? ‘That is, cau their feclings be worked upon to the same extent??? “Ob, quite us much, So much se, In short, that the agitation of it lost us their votes and the State elec- tion,” This was a revelation to me, for, like mbst Eastern poopie, I had believed that Oho was carried for the re- publicans last year on the hard money issue us agaust the sot money extravaganees of Goveruor Alien. But went on to demonstrate the truth of tate for turee principal reasons, and w Were all connec! With wna aitecied the Germua Ib the first place our opponents preeipitated t arian school question as au issue and to} mpaizn. In thenext tt happened that last y uliramontanism was aglating ihe xreater part of rope, Bismarck Was working to suppress it in Ger- any, while in Eugiand there was a war of words and Pumpllets between Cardinal Manaiug aud ine beads of the Establisbed Church. Now the Germans look upon Bismarek a8 a dewmi-yod, and in their jealousy of the religion he Was assailing they began to fear thi would have to encounter th America that Prince Bismarck was encountering iu Germany. Thirdiy, came the Geghan bill, which was a fooltet piece of business ou the part of the demo- crats, because the rights 11 secured fo priests to visit the public, charitable and correctional institutions to administer religious cousoiation to the sick aud dys were already guaranteed tn the State constituuen. But the democratic papers were compelied to defend tho bill because the republican — pa- pers denounced it, and the result was that the Germans were led to believe it was an actual encroachment of the Catholic Church, and upon new if not forbidden ground, To wake the walter worse, Bishop McQuade and others happened about the sume time to come through here making addresses io favor ola division of the school fund. All this was sullicient to accouut for a loss of Haye.’ majority twice over, Besides, Samuel F, Cary, who was on the ticket tor Lieutcnant Governor, was 0: noxious to the Germans, because be had been a temperancy lecturer.” 1 didn’t ask why the loss of the democratic votes was contined to the ollicial figure. 1 kuew that the General was thinking how the soft money issue :nvulved in Governor Allen's candidacy had saved the party trom annibilation. “But all these votes are coming back, or have come back to us,”? he went on. “Then we shall have the great agricultural interest of the Stato at our back this time.” ‘As Sonator Thurman had expressed the same opinion upon this last polm, I pressed the General tur nis reasons for believing the larmers would be with nm. “You see they are provoked by the bard times, and natusally they hold the republican administration re- spousible tor the contraction of the curreucy, for the general mistoanagoment of the government which has brought about distress in busiuess. The larmer’s taxes are no lower than they were in flush times, but he has to pay these taxes with produce which bas faticn greatly in value. He has to soil a great deal more produce to get the money to pay his taxes. Why, just think of it, what can he do with Wheat worth oniy seventy-tive to uinety cents, wool down to iess than thirty cents and corn selling tor as little as twenty-five cent: “General,” I asked, ‘where are tho greenback men going?” “They will vote the State ticket in Octobor—that the most of them will; in fact uearly all of them will, But in November they will be likely to give a less active support to the Presidential ticket." “What would be tho effeet if the democrats wero again defeated in tne State election?" “It would only serve to make the contost in Novem- ber closer and more desperate,” “Whut would be the ellect of a republican defeabin Octover #” “+L Obio and Indiana were to go democratic in Octo- it would be the end of the republican party. \.-hever party curries these States in October will » them in November. @ the tour o'clock train came along; the General wished mo goodby, got aboard and was Whisked away to hy appointment at the hustings down the country.

The incident will show you Low lively the cam- paigu is growing and bow rapidly public mon circulate here in election times, Senator Sherman was passing through Columbus en rout to make a speech at Sunbury, and as he entered the hotel he brashed’ coats with his democratic colleague, Senator Tuurman, who was siarting out to enlighten the masses at Canton. I caught sight of the Senator, az I have said, at the time | was running the race to the depot with General Ewing. 1 made a incutal memorandum of him, wud sought bim out at bis hovel whenil got lomure in the evening. He was “at home’? and gave me his opinion of the canvass unreservediy, yave recently come from Indiana,” he 8 chere the campaign ty very lively. 1 have been in Ohio only about a week, but, while the cauvass here 1s quieter, it is every bit us elficient.” “You don’t doubt the result next month ?’” “1 don’t see any reason tor doubt,” be suid, smiling and looking greatly picas “but the October election here 18 ulWays @ mixed up aiiair, What with candidaes for State oilices, for Congress and jor the little local positions I couldn't begin to make any entimate of majorities for this or that candidate. Lt will be a re- publican majority, that 1s enough,” 4 ‘Then you are confident about the result in Novem- am, indeed, so tar as Ohio ts concerned. Thero isn’t a shadow of adoubt of a great repuvlican ma- jority. 7 Bina webee usties tis eunkrowebale say. Ho was not disposed to enter into details ur reasons, He didn’t know, tn fact, Like Senator Thurman, he bad been only alittle white back from Washington and only a week of that while in Obie, He wus olf in the morning to take the stump. CONCLUSIONS, The election tn Obio 1s, 1 short, to be conducted by the respective parties by whoiiy different tueucs, The democrats rely upou the discoutent of the people wih the financial situation and are going to harp upon the | hard times, the extravagance and corrupuon at Wash ington and republicar mismanagement generally. The republicans will depend largely upon reviving the war fociing. The engagement of Mr. Blaine for the stump is siguiilount of their determination to carry out this pins. They put Ingersoll, of [Minois, to address a mass Inceting here the other nightand the tirst’ words he uttered were as follows: — “We are i the old fight that commenced tn the year ot our Lord, 1861.

In order to prove the character of Mr, Hendricks? fioaucial cred E need only quote here again an extract of his speech of the 14th of September, 1874, to which I bad occasion to refer lately in showmg up the incor. rectness of staterients made by a distinga@hed lawyer aba republican ratitication mee New York. Here is what Mr. Hendricks said in « campaign in which he was elected Governor of his State:— “By the tirst act which President Grant signed in 1869, the faith ana honor of the conntry are pledged to tho payment (of the interest beuring obligations of the United States) in gold. pve a the eflect of the act of 1869, pledging payments tn gokt?

The same act of 1869, of which Governor Hendricks thus demonstrates the sanctity, includes in its binding pledge nat merely the bonds, but als the legal tenders, t reads — “The tai'h of the United States is solem uly pledged to the paymeut in coin or its equivalent of aii the obli- gations of the United States uot bearing interest, known as United States notes, and of all tho interest bearing obligations of the United States, except in cases where the law authorizing the issue of uny such obliga- tion has expressly provided that the samo may be ra iu lawful money or other curvency than gold ana silver.” 1s this the language of an inflationist and repudiator, and is the party which then triumphantly elected the man holding and proclaiming such doctrines to be charged with favoring the dfshonest and suicidal polioy, of perpetuating an irredeemable paper cur- recy THE NAMM OP LUCIUS ROBINSOX, your candidate tor Go’ 0 well and favorably known to every voter of this Stute that it is almost presumption on my part to recommead him any tur- Uuer to your sulfrages.

He was followed by Mr, Honry-C, Platt, of Hunting- ton, L. I., who called attention to the effects of repub- lican rule during the last eight years as illustrated in the prosent depression of business and the aay by day revelations of corruption among its officers, holding that every oflicer who dares to expose the corruption of that party has veea ignominiousiy discharged from oilice, There 1 but one issue to this campaign, said he—either to keep en in the rotten ship or get a now ship, a new captain, and move safely aboad fur the pub lic good. There has been a saving of $40,000 in taxes in Quecn’s county since Tuden bas been Governor of the State, This Mr. Platt quoted as au example of the reform power of Governor Tilden, and closed with “an cloquent appeal to the people to support him in the approsehtog ciection.

No doubt the republicau party bad a mission to perform, and it has accomplished it. There is no need of it now. Such names as Lincoln and Sumner will nevor die, but it has broaghs out names tha: ought to dic. If Grant had departed this hfe at the close of the war his uame would have been revered, but subsequent events have inade that impossible. . For the last sixteen years tho people have been mis- governed, and the ery rises all over the land, **Let us have reform and let us have work!’ (Applause,) ‘Tho speaker was here iterrapted by the entrance into the hall of the Tilden and Hendricks clubs of Bres- Iau—300 strouz, under the leadership of Captains | Charles A.

Speeches wore made by Edward Batley, of Patchogue, Juage Reed and others. Three cheers were then given for the candidates.
