Ia "Gath" editing the r through his specials from New York? It really looka that way. See the reference to "Uath" in the interview with Vr Overling, of this city, in thia iasne of ihe LvmUOKSCEB. In yesterday's En fat ??Gath" reporta several interviews L be has just bad as to the likelihoods I lle rcoult in November. Some of these JobaC. New, before he went away to day, pave me some interesting conversa tion. "Ihe Democrats spent in Indi ana," be wid, "over $350,000, yet threw i*iva*no<l deal of their money, putting it least joO.OOO.into processions and bands, while we dut not spend $5,000 for that paroose. No convert was ever made to a ticket by burning a lamp or beating a drum. IVe put our monev into a thorough ctnsu* of the State. One of the first thioga I did was to send into each county of Indiana and hire a mau to take a bug jy and drive all over that county and plant bid men in,the school districts and let mil of them understand, that he was nttpoobible iu his limits. We then had (he .State well stumped and the issues well pat before the people. Some of the^best Hampers w? had were men like George iceri-lan. Coukling's speeches, four io & umber, conferred great credit upon him; ana" while they did ub no doubt much pood, because he is an original and effsc* tire tu&n IP make an argument, they did *;im, perhaps, more good. He was vary ftfoucb struck with the atrength and de rtlopment of the Btate. He said to me that he had little idea of the West pre viooily, aud was most agreeably sur prised. Referring to Ihe county in which New Albany is situated, Mr. New said: "We aide a change there in one factory of about eix hundred votes, but Kentucky repeaters clipped into the back woods and cross-roads of the county and voted down that increase, so that we gained butlittla in the county vole." As Mr. TiMen's name is betas: brought oat in diminution of Gen. Hancock's capabilities, you may be interested to know what Mr. Tilden is about. He spends m<ttof his time at hia new country seat -Greystone, on the Hudson?where he entertains considerable company, particu larly laJies, his sister, Mrs. Pelton, being bit hooeeieeper, and in the family is the daughter of (he late nephew Pelton, Air. Tilden still speaks in u whispering voice, and has one hand disabled, and both his hands have a trembling motion; but he ia mild of mind, expresses little interest in the Presidential campaign, has not mentioned John Kelly's name for two or three years, and regards himself as retired from public affairs, merely exercising a sort of ?eniorpatrouage over the general concerns of the Democracy. He recalled, a few nifthta ago to a iriend the difference be tween nearlv forty thousand Republicans Wiling under his standard in 1875 and; when he bad, he says, more than three thousand regular German Republi eanaot New York inside the Democratic noki, and the present time, when Demo crat* appear to be stampeding to the Be* publicans in almost equal numbers. i'r. Tilden, however, speaks very kindly of General Hancock, and thinks he is a man of excellent intentions, who would make the party a good young leader and President, buv his followers are by no means so philosophical. One of them, direct from Lis house, said to me last 8at orday: "What do you think of Hen* driclu, of Indiana? He ba4 the audacity to think he could insult the head of the tirlfuf u. rilrinn and become himself uyoacdo beo uy tus, ??r They have batteries, with cannon in item, in every part of interior New York. the headYhis year,' by having a new elec tion ordered contrary to law through hie panwan Judges. He actually thought that draining the law in thai way he could inialt Mr. Tilden and be elected Presi dent! Why, sir, if Tom Hendricks had El to the bend of the ticket, there would _ 7e been sixty thousand Democrata in ?)ew York to slaughter him at the elec tion." As to Tom Bayurd, the same person, treih from Tilden, said to me: "He is fMini? and nobody, and represents noihiDK. He is going around the country, ntteriu'^r platitudes and trying to raise him to th^' Presidency by the Btrapa of his hoots.

Observations in Europe and Expe riences in America. As ia well known to many of our road era, Mr. John Oesterling, Preaidontof the Central Glass Company, has recently paid visit to his native land in Germany, from whence he came many years ago aa a poor boy to find a home in thoNew World. We need not inform the community how by industry, patience, good judgment and good character Mr. Oesterling has become one of the solid men of Wheeling. The | public in famili.tr with this fact. Nor need we say that the concern that he represent* is one of the best known and most suc cessful of oar many manufacturing estab lishment*. lis wares go to all parts of our own land, and likewise to several foreign countries. They were difcovered on sale in the City of Mexico by our Wheeling visitors to that country two years ago. Many consignments of them have gone to Germany, where they have found a mar ket in competition with cheaper wares of that country because of 6ome advantage in point both of style and practical utility. A representative of the Intklliofnckb dropped in on Mr. Overling yester day at his offica in East Wheeling and fell into conversation with him abour his re cent trip-to Germany and this matter of sending Central glassware to that country. Mr. Osterliug is a modest as well a truth ful man, and has as little of the self-glori fication element iu him as any citizen in our midst. Hence be did not enthuse in the least over the idea of his goods having found a market in Germany. "There is not much in it," said he, auu "there will" probably be less in the near future." "How so?"said the Ixtklugknckr man. "Well," said Mr. Oeterliug, "we have been shjppiog some pressed glassware over tberej such as this beer mag, (taking up one from thfl table) and it has found sale because in Germany tffev have not until recently introduced our method of pressing, and because it resembles their hand-made cut glass ware. They still "blo?*" such goods as this, and make it by piece meal, putting on the stem and the handle on tlm foody of the glass. Hence their ware cannot ha uniform in size like a pressed glass,and the bindlo ip Bapjiy j trred otf, iwd besides the handle accumulates dirt at its points of. jointure with tho glab?.;-' "Then you do not frad a market by un derselling the Germans'/" 8^14 our re porter. Not at all. The goods that we sell here for one dollar and tifty cents-per dojen are worth about GO per cent mr?re laid down in Leipsic, duties paid. Than is to say, they cost about $2 50 ner d' znn de livered iu that city?probably more than that now, as Germany has recently added 10 per cent additional duty on glasa, which would make the whole duty 20 per cent. Our glass is not cheaper to those who buy it than German made glass, but it has the novelty and hIso the advaotdge I alluded to. The oetngoue on this glass appear to have been cat, and In Germany, if they used a glass of this kit.d, they would have to be cut. This ia au appearance that helps to wJl our glass. Can the Germans produce glassware materially cheaper thau tftff Americana? we inquired. Of course their labor is very mora cheaper, costiug on'y about one-fourth as much ??? ours, aud ttieir ware, such as this mug, would represeut a good deal of labor as compared with what it represeote here. But when once they adopt our method, as they are already doing, tbey will send gja^sto this country ixiBte-td of our sending it over thorp. They pay more for sand than wo do; in fwt thpy cannot get such Band aa we use in our ?ninn}on ware, ex cept by repeated and expensive washing and that make* some difference in our favor, But, as I Baid, once they get uuder headway in waking pressed glass, we will not only ship nopp of it over there, but they will ship to this eouqtj-y, especially if the present tariff on ioreign gqpda is reduced. Would the wiping out of oar present protective tariff ehut you up? Perhaps nit, but if it 4'd not it would as a matter of couree compel a reduction w the wages paid to labor. We would either have to suspend or tind a way of making glass aa cheap aa Germauy. There would be no alterative. The protection of our tariff enables ua to hold our American market anaiust Europp, and pay our men about fourtimes aa much for their labor as German workmen get. What effect lias the tariff had on the production of glass in this country? Before the war w?- manufactured about one-sixth oftheglnsa useil in this country, and imported five-nixthsof it. Now we have just about reversed this ratio, and are to-day making five sixths of all the glass Buhl in this cojjntry. What effeot lino jt bad on the price?. How do prices oimparo wilt) those of the days beforo the war? Prices are very much lower. Uoods thai sold for $150 p*r dozen then are sold u low ju 85 cents. You see the protection of the tariff haa ilimulated production And Bompetition among ourselves, and prices bave largely declined. How haa this affected the wagea of your workmen? Workmen now receive about fifty per cent more wages than they did beforo the War. And assuming that tho ox pauses of living are no more than io those nays; for meat, bread and|clothes; they are just, of course, filly per cent better oil It seems to me, Mr. Oeaterling, that you are making a powerful tariff argument. Do your workmen bear these facta? Not from me; I never talk politics to auybody about the Works, or inquire as to, what sido they aro on. There is no need for such men as me to talk about the tariff when a Democratic paper like the Cincinnati Enijuirtr has furnished one of the best argument* I have aeen on the subject this campaign. By the way, did you read it? L refer to a New York dja Ktch from "Oath" in that paper a dav or o after tho election. If you would like to publish It hare it is. It readB as follows: Naw York, October 18?About A o'clock Tu??iay afternoon I waMiandJug with a representativecroup neat tho Fifth Avenue tfotel when out of the nuut l*r?tiaUeu Xlllbsurnr, ot Washington-made the following remark t '?I bave m da a goo I many beta of a limited amott t tbut every Northern State willgo forttodaid 1 btee U on the change In bualncae.

Do ?ou remember how atterthe Democrats had enacted a "revenue tariff in 1887, Jarae* .Buchanan was forced to come to tbe relief ot the country in oue ol h ? an nual messages, and advlse a resort to the protective pulley.

T From a talk about tho tariff to the In mtioascsB representative, Mr. Oesterling. ^ passed to some Ulk about National banks, which was very interesting, and well . SSSfi reporting. SWbe:"WhenIfi?t j come to this country J worked in the I shops of the Michigan Central 'H|r0?l ? Michigan City. I was struck on arriving there with the number of hfokerormoney , shaving offices, and I inquired how all their occupants made a living, a* {be place I waanotlarge and depend.dwholyon e , fot^u^hoVthey wereeiTabledtod?.0.

And yet there are per?ns who, not knowing when they are we off, ; would tear down the present National | banking system?the notes of which are par all overtho land-and send us back to the old - State bank system. For my part, I have passed through that mill and want no more of it in mine the balance of my life. The present order of things suits me, and ought, I should think, to suit alfnoat anybody who can be suited at all. Poo't you think, Mr. Oesterling; that these matters, inplijding tariff and ail, are very imperfectly understood by many per sons who vote the Democratic ticket? Oifouroe there are. Many persons who work in manufacturing establishments are led to believe that a tariff works only for tho benefit of the men who own the con cerns. flat iiist look bow it has been in Wheeling. Here we have seen the mills run for years almost without a cent of profit in all that time to the owners. And yet they liayo run 9II t Jie same. The pep have been paid good wages And living has beeu cheap. The stores and theshops? in fact,' everybody in the community*? have hud the benefit of the money paid out, save the atockholdera. Their money has been tied up in the real estate and machinery of the mills. Some of these mills have even been burned-down, and others have met with various misfortunes, and the stockholders bave had to rebuild, and foot all the bills and take all the risks of the business. And yet, in the face of all these well known facts, there are, as I said, ipariv persons who are deceived into believing that a tariff for the protection of American industry is something got up mainlv for mill owners. You can see how it is: how it has been in the past and how it is likely to be in,the future. Men vote rigbtln toe face and eyes of their own in terests out of disjjke or jealousy, or misun derstanding, pr ^batewr Jt may be, of their employers, Our roDorter pould lengthen out the ac count of his Interview with Mr. Oesteriing still further, but he la under the impres sion that be has given enough for one issue of the Intklmokxcbr. He only hopes that the workingmen of Wheeling will give to what be has written out to-day that: sober, attentive end unprejudiced consideration which its great importance deserves. It will do every man who works in n glass factory, or iron mill, or any other industrial establishment in this city, and also every merchant, mechanic or laborer, a world of good if he will only lay it to heart. It shows as plain as the let ters of the alphabet the difference between the policy, advocated by the Republican party?the great party of American labor ?and the policy of the Southern free trade Democracy.

General UarQeld Vlalted at His Mentor Home by the Lincoln Hub, of Indian spoilt*. MkstuB.0., October 19.-About four hundred of the Lincoln Club, o( Indian apolis, came to Mentor this morning by a special train to pay tbeir respect* to Gen eral Garfield. They all wore linen dusters and three cornered straw hats, as a bur lesque on the rich costumes ot the Jeffer son Club o( their city. Coming op the (arm lane and led by the band they made a novel appearance. Arriving at tha house General Garfield appeared, and the Chairman ol the clnb, M. G. McLaine, made a brief address, in which he eulogi ced the Republican party and its candld ites. He said the club had come to bring the good newe from Indiana, and to give assurance of a greater victory under the Imnlratlofl of Ueneral James A. Garfield a leadership. General Garfield responded is follows: Gentlemen, you have come as bearers if dispatches, so your chairman tells me, ind I am glad to hear the newe you bring, ind exceedingly glad to see the bringera >f the news. Your uniform, the name of roar club, the place from whieh yon jome, are all foil ol suggestions. You ?ecollect the verses that were often quoted ibout the old Continental soldiers, the old hte<s-cornered hat, and the fereochee, and ill that, were so queer. Your costume jriogs back to our memory the days of the Continentals ot 1778, whose principles. I lope, you represent. You are called the Lincoln Club, and Lincoln was himself a evlval, a restoration, of the days of 75 ind their doctrines-the great proclama lon of emancipation, wLich period was he second declaration ot independence, iruader, fuller, the new testament of hu uan liberty. And then you coine from ndiana, euppoaed to he a Weetern Ktate, iut\et in ita traditions older than Ohio, dore than one hundred years ago a gal ant Virginian went far up into your vilderneea, captured two or three forts, ook down the Briiith flag and reared the tart and atripos. Viocennes and Cahakia ind a part in Illinois were a part at that lapture. Your native State was one of he first fruits of that splendid fighting lower, which gave the whole West to the Jolted Slates, and now these rcpresenta ives of Indiana come representing the evolution in vour hats, lepreeenting Ibrabam I.inco'lu in badgea and repre entinirtbe victory of both of the revolu ion and of Lincoln in the news you bring, could not be an American and (all to telcome your coatumee, your badges, our viewaand yourselves.

We unboxed rom my brigade about 4,000 new axes and be Fifty-Brat regiment of Indiana volun eere chopped down more treea in n hall lay than 1 supposed it was possible could all in anv week. It appears that in the ;reat political forest from which you have list come your axes have been busy again. especially welcome the axmen of the fiftv-first regimeut, who may happen to * Here, and thank you all gentlemen for he compliment of your viait, for the good lews you bring. 1 do uot prize that news talf so much for Its personal relations to ?ou and to me, as I do because it is a re -ival of the spirit of Abraham Linooln, tho pirit of univereal liberty and the spirit ol iiBt,equal law all over this land that gives >our news the great significance. Gentlemen, I thank you again, and shall ie glad to take you by the band. After loing introduced to Gen. Garfield and amily the party, with three cheers and a alute from their cannon, took tha train or Cleveland, where they spend Ins after loon. On arriving in Cleveland at One .'clock the Indiatiians wfcre met at the lepotby a large delegation ofOlevoland Re mblicane, beaded by a band, and escorted ip town, the victors continually shout ng "Porterl" The buainesa houses of the {epabltcanc on tho route of march were iberaV-V decorated with flags and drapery. it the he*d of the column a detail ol men \ore an aich bearing the Inecription, ?Ohio and lnniana."

The people all over the North, East and .Vest arearlalnn in tbeir maiestv to sustain tho tariff for protection, which is the grand rallying cry of the Republicans. Western kImh manufacturers know that their oc cupation is gone if the tariff is interfered with, and it will be if Hancock is elected. The present tariff on wool protect* alike the manufacturer ond the farmer; and both tbeae clause* cnmprtihend the situa tion. Some addle-headed free traders tried last winter to procure a repeal of the duty on wool, ond if the party shonld be triumphant in the November election that duty wonld be swept from the cus toms law. Where then would be the two classes interenied-? The manutacturersof porcelain and pot tery in Trenton would be crushed, and their workmen left to starve, if the pro motive duties should be repealed. They know it, and have organised against it. The silk industries;of Patersou are in the same category, and the election of the Democratic caudidat'ce would be their sentence as far aa their worldly goods are concerned. They, too. have taken meoa* urea to prevent that sad calamity. Froin present indications the people are rallying to maintain the present prosperity o( the country, and intend to carry the election. In the midst of a grand prosperity such as the couutry has not known for forty years, there is no time for a change of policy. Even if the opposition bad a plaunible show, which they never had, the peoptn are not now in a temper to accept it. All trades-all occupations are flour ishing?men who were starving before the resumption are now bountifully provided, *nd they dare not again expose them selves, their wivea and little ones, to the mercies ol the wiseacres who would sweep them bsok to their hovels and their penury by one short repealing act. Tho people are fairly aroused, and in tend to hold fast to what they have, and not fritter away their present comforts to * gratify the ambition of erasy politicians, ? or the hateful lunt fur ofUce that alone . fills, the hearts of thousands of selfish > leaders. We are prospering under and by a pro i tective tariff, and shall not desert that flag lor free trade and beggary.
