That has pen tke uni versal testimony in all parts of Ohio. Where t wre is such unan 0 ous and confident testi } t anything but praise mony of a Republican victory there must be sound regsons for it. The canvass of the ! stale committee, which is a conservative | oa, shows that the state wil give a good Republican majority, Ex-Governor Foster | sd tin the lat s. dispatches from all | pars of the state puta better look than ever | before on the prospect. Mr. Hanna sends | word that Cuyahoga county will give one of | its old-time Republican majorities, and the Democrats are privately conceding a Re publican majority in Cincinnati, [It fs probable, however, that Robinson far secre tary of state will ron behind in Ciheinnati, | The Democratic plan is to merifice every. thing for votes for Newman, the candidate for secretary of state, in the belief that his vote will be taken Ly the country as the measure of Republican success. Mr, Blaine said to-day that he had entire confidence iu a Republican victory, but he thought that the political logic of the Ohio Republicans was at fault. They all say to “Wait untii November and we will show what Ohio thinks of you.” They seem to forget that in October, and not in the time tv whiow zeal for the Republican cause. Editorially the Tribune says: The Repub licans have reason to be hopeful about | Ohio, but ought not to expect too much, Several reascms for caution may be men- tioned : L For the first timo in & presidential year the Republicans have the influence of the | State Government against them Until 1883 they had carried the State in the | gubernatorial election preceding each pros. idential vear: last year local causes and | shameless frand combined to defeat them, IL From 10,000 to 20,000 Republicans always have stayed at heme in the October struggle preceding a presidential election. In 1876 there were 26,000 more votes polled in November than in October, of which the Republicans gainel 13.000. In 15% thers were 10,000 more votes polled ia November than in October, and the vote for Garfield was 13,000 more than the vol: for Secretary of State a month before, IIL Prior to the Garfield campaign the | state had been very close on a full vote 1p | him: 1876 Hayes and hard money triumphed by | only 5,544 plurality. In the October election | of 1876 the Repablicans had only 6.698 | purality, and in November Hayes had only 5.516 But when prosperity came in 1879, | and the mills and mines were all at work, the Republican plurality swelled to 17,129, and in 1880, in October, to 19,008, IV. The state has been peculiarly affected by industrial conditions. The rural Demo | eratie popplation is steady: the population of the manufacturing and mining dist ict is lgrgely Republican in good times, but is | v le. When labor is not well employs | the vote of the manufacturing and mining 1ogions is usually maaller, and disatified nen who are ignorant of the causes of trouble are Yempted to vote thy Democratic ticket. This year labor in such regions is much disorganized and scattered, but te cause of trouble is so Yearly the Democratic agitation of the tariff question that Repub. | lican losses may bs balanced by paina ] V. The temperance question has had a | powerful effect in local elections for the | past two years. Whether it will now, for | the first time, become large enouzh to afect a contest on National issuss is yet 10 be de termined. The New York World's Corresponds | ent, i Few Yomrx, Oct 11 <The Columbus cor i respondent of The World says: Putting side { the stereoty ped assertions that they are sure | to win, which the representative men on either side are making as a political matter of course, and regarding only those elream. giances and actions and collateral fucte which go to constitute corroborative evidence I am convinced that the situation tonigh i far more favorable to a Democratic than a Fepublican victory on Tuesday next, The current and jubilant decla- ration among Democrats to-day has been, “We're got ‘em onthe run.” It is hardly to say that tie statement is incor g t the contut is the hardest they ever on aged in and that there is no time for laugh. r, but that inten! to win Their - { publican { both parties is the uncertainty of | hibition vote | The Girl Who : for their ca man vote has left them. A , circumstance of the same kind is t Inet that in the lace i the stubborn and jective jou} the managers of the Hocking Valley have assumed toward Blaine, the Republicans assert that the vote will, when the day of battle comes, ve Inyal to the Republican party, And yet, natwithuianding all of these claims, which soem to people who are mere lookets-on to be untenable, not a single prophet among the Republican statesmen is willing to esti ply a higher majority for the ticket than The Philadeliphiy Times spondent. Prraverrnia, Oct, 11.—~The Columbus correspondent of The Times says: learned today from a gentleman at the conferente that the figures presented to Mr, Blaine in. dicated a Republican majority of 18,000 in the state. To reach that the whole western line of counties, which are almost solidly Democratic, were estimated on the basis of former Republican years, It isin this par. ticular section where the Democrats have made their best efforts and where they claim to have increased their vote out of all pro portion to the increase in the Republican vote, The apparent want of definite Ropublican Information from that dangerous part of the state annoyed Mr. Blaine very much, and he plainly said it was a poor condition to be in in atime in the canvass too lat: to apply a remedy. In Cuyahoga county the Republicans are claiming a majority of 8,000 and the Democrats are conceding from LOO to 1.500. In Hamilton the Repuls leans fear the Democrats will have a mas jority and the Democrats fear the Repub licans will get it. The Republican man Corre | agers here, however, do not include Hamil. ton in their calculations, while the Democrats {| are putting it down in thar figures at from 8,000 to 5,000 Democratic If up to tho latter it will il He figures pull down the A 16, (0x), in toe sta'e to Should it give 3.000 Republican, added to Cuyaboga's8,000, it would pull the Repub lean figures up to 24.000 or 25.000 in the 12.000 to 15.000, hb Us average Wever, { their clalin IC managers in their oO hreo times In they ovityie 1 Do instances go wd down Nowe mber, is | 3 One untered the Pro It cannot be told whether it will reach 5,000 or 40,000. The Republi cans naturally claim that the temperance people will generally vote the Republican of the difficulties enc {tieket. This would seem to be the natural | thing, but the leading Prohibiticnists do not witogether confirm it. Tesy acknowledge | their action in supporting a separate ticket | may cost the Republicans a victory, but { Shey say that repeated defeats in that way will finally compel the Republican party as s whole to make the Prohibition cause it: sown. There is no Greenback ticket in the Geld, so that it will not be possible to esti. mate from the October vote any possible damage Butler may do the Democrats in November, Butler's name is never men- tioned in the busy conflict here LIFE IN A GREAT CITY, was Persecuted ky a Rejected Lever, New Yorx, Oct. 11. “You said yester | day,” remarked Justice Duffy at the Tomps yesterday, to Mary Cuetler, of No. 19 Essex street, when Henry Friedman, a dry goods | slerk, living at No, 88 Eldridge street, was arraigned at the bar, “that this young fellow { follows you around and makes your life | miserable. You like some one else, who is | anxious to marry you, Now, what else?” “He runs after me all the time and tells svery one that I am his sweetheart,” de- | slared the young girl, “and makes my true | lover, Jacob Etein, jealous | has been doing this, trying to break our en. gagement. Iam afraid he will murder me anless | marry him.” “Did you ever reciprocate his love!” que. ried the justice, “No, I never did." “Why do you persecuts this young ladyl" the young man was asked. “She promised to marry me." he replied, “and she jilted me because Jake, the fellow she's got now, earns more money. Why lidn't she let me know that she was sick of me! I squandered $500 on ber during the last summer. Think of it! It's enough to | drive a fellow crazy.” “Did she ever accompany you to pienics!” “Did she! Ask her.” “I think about twenty times" she ro | marked. “How many tisnes to theatres! “About forty times,” she repiled “Do you see, judge, how she led me onl” sxpostulated the young man. “As soon the season is over and my money is gone she leaves me and engages herself to an- other.” “It seems to me that if you were a man you wouldn't run after a woman who has sorned you,” said the justios. “Yeu look like a fellow who ought to get plenty of girla. This woman doesn't care a fig for you." “I wouldn't marry ber now if she went on her knees to me,” sald the young man.

Y., Oct 11L About three years ago Mise Vinnle Lansing came to this village from Amsterdam and took up ber abode with her uncle, Dr. J. IL Beakley. Bhe was a tall brunette, finely educated, had excellent masical abilities, and it was not long before she gained a host of friends, including the best society of the village. A well-to-do widower was first attracted to her, and it was suid the two were engaged. Suddenly they ceased to speak with each other, and it was hinted that the lady was the cause of the estrangement because of ber love for liquor. However, she pursued the even tenor of ber way, and kept sober | emough to win the heart and band of one of the best young men in tie village Aus tin French, the baggage master at the New York Central station. The two lived toe gether for several months and estublished a pretty home, Finally an estrangement ooe carred, and Mr. French took steps to procure a divorce. The explanation was that the woman hed an uncontrollable ap. petite for whisky, and notwithstanding his sfforts he could not break her of the habit, She was frequently found lying on the floor of her house in a state of intoxication, Since the separation she bas frequently been wen staggering about the streets, and hav. committed an offense against morality, she was arrested, and was given siciy days in the Albany penitentiary.

Prerapunc, Oct 1L--Meat Inspector Lindsay, of Pittsburg, has discoversd ten head of cattle at the stock gd Suffering from lump jaw or cancer. condemn them all, and refused to reship them to the from which they came, claiming it to a public duty to confiscate them, For ome time past several Pittsburg dealers have been making a business of buying only diseased cattle in Chicago for this market, The fact became known recently and created a public outery, All devices were used to conceal the truth, To«day Inspector Lindsay yresented his report to the health board after a week's careinl in vestigation. Of the ten head seized, the lightest cass was subjected to post mortem examination by a competent veterinary sur- geon on Wednesday last. The subject was a cow six years old and in poor condition. Upon the right facial region was situated a large black cancer, which presented a fright- ful appearance. Upon making an incision a large quantity of pus escaped. There were ulcerations running in all directions and covering one-half of the upper jaw. The internel organs were early affected, and demonstrated the animal's inroverished | condition, The disease is known as “‘Carci- | noma cancer,” and is commonly called “lump uw.” It is positively incurable, ex- copting in the very earliest stages, and is aot considered contagious, even by inocula tion, Lut is of a very malignant character, having a tendency to spread to other yarts, and to affect the entire system. The dis ease is almost invariably fatal, and justifies the immediate destruction of the anineal afflicted. i OPERATIONS OF THE FINEST.
