many boasted they had finally “squelched’ l the
Tlldcn faction, and that the trlckv and still
hunting Samuel of Grammy Dark had been
laid on the shelf for all lime. It did
look like it. With two-fifths of the
members of tho Stale Committee Til
den’s friends, nob one of them ventured
to raise a row at the meeting In his behalf. He
woa utterly Ignored, and some of his stanchest
friends were reported making overtures for ad
mission Into the camp of his enemies. Under
these auspicious circumstances, the Democratic
State Committee adjourned, proclaiming pence
nml harmony In the parly, and good riddance
to the still-iiunter of Gratncrcy Park und his
plaintive cry of “ Fraud 1" lint
TIIIJV COUNTED WITHOUT TIIRIU HOST.

From Ofi>, GarjltUf* duresh.
The disfranchisement of 100,000 Republicans
of the State by the gerrymander of Its Con
gressional districts In such manner that the
Democracy, with a minority of the popular
vole, expect to secure fourteen of tho twenty
members, making a gala of five, is an Invasion
of popular rights which the people cannot allord
to approve. It is not a question of mere par
tisan smartness or local concern, but one of
vital moment, in which not only tho people of
Ohio, but of Ujo whole country, arc profoundly
Interested. It strikes down tho principle of
Government by majorities, and denies to an in
tegral portion of a sovereign Stale Its duo
weight and proper voice In the councils of the
nation. Shall It he crowned with success
or Indignantly rebuked! It eltccts, under the
forms and color of law In OJilo, what Is ac
complished In Mississippi mid other Southern
Status hv lawless violence. When It Is desired
there to overcome majorities or gain a few
members’ of Congress, the abot-gun policy is
employed to diminish Republican votes. Here
legislation Is so shaped that Republican votes
shall not count* Tim result Is, In both cases,
virtually and In cttoct, the same,—-bulldozing
and disfranchisement,—and springs from the
same desperate spirt, ft lathe outgrowth of
Ku-Kliiximii, taking root in tlm soil of Ohio,
and threatening to sap the foundations of rep
resentative govenmeut. ...
Till* fraud In Ohio has a twofold object. Un
sealing tho President may not succeed In the
present House, but the malignant purpose mid
spirit of persecution will not be quenched. Sue*
cess must bo denied, refused. Impeachment
can bo employed a* an instrumentality in this
holy work. A Democratic majority In the House
Is essential to prefer charges, ihu mud and airt
of the Putter investigation can be made their
foundation; the Senate next year will pass un
der Democratic control. Although without suf
ficient majority to pronounce sentence. It can
entertain charges ami prolong Investigation,
paralyse the Kxccutlvu Department of tho ilov
ernment, and keep the country In a state of
feverish and protracted suspense, agitation, and
alarm, thus gratifying the nmhgnitv of disap
pointment, and refusing success ut tho expense
of national misfortune.
In furtherance of this purpose, and to secure
to Democracy control of the next House, tho
scheme to augment Its numbers by disfranchis
ing the Ucpublieans of Ohio was concocted by
the Washington cabal. Forgetting tho sanctity
of State rights when their Invasion Is In tho In
terest of Democracy, tho Junta, through Mr.
Speaker Handall, demands the degradation of a
sister Statu, and it Is done. To result In what I
A Democratic House to do tho will of tho con
spirators, to execute their coup <Pctat, and pro
claim their Chief if that bo feasible; or else ar
raign the President on articles fabricated by the
Potter Commission; In cither case, convulsion,
paralysis, It may bo catastrophe.
Hut tho crow ning purpose of Ohio's wrong,
which gives tt most significance, concerns the
future Presidency.
The count of tho Electoral returns la 18SI
must Occur In the presence of tho House about
tn be chosen. If It shall be Democratic, omltho
heresy of Hov. Tllden put forth In the Potter
letter shall prevail, that the House bus power
to control the Electoral count und reject the
return* from any tilulo at will, it may become a
problem whether Ihu President then legally
chosen by tho Electoral voice of the people can
bo Inaugurated "without und against. Us con
sent,"—aye, whether another American Presi
dent shall ever bo Inaugurated by virtue of an
ejection by tho people tdunc.

COMmiipa, 0., Aug. iW.—Having attended
nearly all the Important Congressional Nomi
nating Conventions of both parties lit IbU State
and Interviewed a large number of candidates
and others In regard to prospects and the gen
eral condition of affairs In tho Buckeye State, it
may not be out of place to make a general sum
mary of affairs, aud estimate, as nearly as pos
sible, the result of tho coming election.
Never before, perhaps, In the history of Ohio
was there so much poor stock iu tbe (Xm
crcsilonal market. Never before were so many
fair men brought into a close and exasperating
race, where it was finally seen that they must
all he defeated, and amedcocre ‘‘dork none"
be trotted out to win the race.
This remark applies entirely to the Democra
cy, and results from the fact that since the
gcirymsodar they arc confident of success lu
many districts, and the candidates are numer
ous. The following list, which shows
ALL TUI CAMDIDATBi IX TUB VIILD
up to this date, displays but few prominent
names. They are mostly those of tbird-rale
political adventurers, who came up against
prominent Republicans, who arc destined to be
slaughtered. The list is as follows;

but little difference, an no intcrysf whatever is
manifested therein. In both cdscs the Repub'k
ans will carry the districts with flm* majorities.
In the Twentieth District the lion. Amo*
Townsend will be the Republican nominee, ami
there-are a largo number of aspirants upon the
Democratic side, Who will be successful can
not now he told. There Is an old duffer by the
name of Joseph Poe, familiarly called every
where Ly the alliterative cognomen of Joe Pue,
who, perhaps, stands as good a chance of (ret
ting the nomination as any one. lie is doing
his beat everywhere and ail the while. He lias
served several terms In the Stole Legislature,
where bo has been the laughing stock of a bodv
of men by no mcana noted for astuteness. Ho
has canvassed the rural portion of the county
on foot over and over again, making use of all
the
THANSPAHRNT THICKS OF TUB DEMAGOGUE,
and he Is bringing to bear nit his experience
upon the rural population. The part? mans,
gars. lionxvtr, are very much opposed to his
and will do what they can to defeat
him. They arc In favor of putting up some
man who will either command a portion of the
support of the Nationals, or oho who has a large
amount of money and will consent to ho bled
freely, and can bo run through on his own
strength. Of those Highiy-tcspccfablo candi
dates, who arc supposed to 1)0 willing to furnish
a good supply of money for campaign purposes,
in case he gets the nomination, Is .Mr. J. li.
Wade, a vorv lino man. but one who would
never coimqaml the full strength of the pnrtv.
ns ho Is held by the rank and Hie to t>c a good
deal of an aristocrat. Then there Is u rabid
young element in tlio party, who favored re
organization last winter, who arc now in favor
of putting forward one of their own number.
How these Hemsnlswill succeed hi harmonizing
lu the Convention Is the question of Interest.
In the estimate which I propose, it will be
well to begin with the beginning, and menllon
each district, with the prospects, so lor us they
cup bo ascertained.
MILTON SATLBH, '
the Democratic candidate In the First District,
has been quite well known as Speaker pro tem
of the House, but he Is quite devoid of honor In
his own country, and the lion. Ijeujnmln lint
turwortli stands a very good chance of beating
him, although the district Is quite strongly
Democratic on general principles.
In the Second, there can be but IKllu doubt
that cx-Gov. Thomas L. Young will dekal Len
Hubs. Young U o general favorite with all pin
tle*, ami, being an Irishman of marked proclivi
ties. will command votes which naturally would
tend toward the other party. Goss is simply a
ward politician, with no especial reputation ex
cept in the matter of managing School boards.
Ills sacrifice will not be peculiarly deplored even
by the members of Ids own psUv.
There can bo no doubt about the state of af
fairs In the Third and Fourth Districts: one is
hopelessly Democratic, und tho other strongly
Republican, and McMahon and Kclfcr will both
bo returned, if Hie hopes of the gerrymander
are at alt realized tho Filth and Sixth will elect
Democrats. In the Seventh It Is quite likely
that the Hurd-Stuedman contest, wnlch by no
means abates, will be the means of electing
Ltickuv, the Republican candidate. Htccdman
continues to hold anil-llurd meetings, and (ho
talk Is strong of the latter’s being withdrawn
os a means of liculing disaffection in the ranks.
CKAItI.CY FOSTER
will probably bo elected in the Eighth, which
not another man In the United States would be.
The District Is without doubt strongly Demo
cratic, and If he dues succeed it will bo one of
tlm traditional victories which occur only when
n peculiar juxtaposition of circumstances are
brought about. This Juxtajioeitlon, It would
almost seem, Is working around. Finley, his
opponent, has mado himself quite obnoxious to
some of the strung elements of his party, and
were tho district any Jess strongly Democratic
he would stand no posslblcshow of success.
Thu Ninth District Is conceded to he Demo*
era tic. hut is one of those districts where an al
most interminable light was waged among the
leaders of that party fur the nomination,
flcorgu 8. Converse, nn old stager, got It, and
under more favuruolo circumstances would ho a
strong man. The feeling among those ho de
feated, however, Is so great that It will not bo
strange If he Is defeated by English, the Inde
pendent nominee.
Thu Tenth District Is Ewing's, ami the tarflt
record of
bOFT-MOMXV TOM
may be the means of defeating him. Thu Re
publican* did a very wise thing In putting up
the Hun. V. 11. Horton, a man who commands
in m b enthusiasm, and who has a tine precedent
fur carrying closely-contested elections.
Thu £lovuiilli Is quite close. Thu Democrats
may carry it with u small majority.
lit tho Twelfth, Henry 8. Neal, tho Republican
nominee, will surely he elected.
In tint Thirteenth there I* hut llltlo hope of
Vim Voriii'H eurn Ing It against (icu. Warner.
The Fourteenth umt Fifteenth arc enormous*
lv Democratic, ami were made *o at the expense
of anything like eunvcnlcueo In shape or con*
tlgultv of territory.
The Flltmmth 1* where tho 1,800 ballots were
taken by the Democrat* before nnv agreement
could Ihj arrived ut, mid then only « sickly com
promise on a dark horse wo* achieved. It will,
however, go Democratic In ail human proba
bility.
Thing* now look a* though MaJ. McKinley
was going to pull through despite Democrat
ic calculations in the Seventeenth.
Of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth
I have spoken Incidentally already.
This, then, is the statement of tho ease as It
now appears, but th re are many things besides
those mentioned strongly In favor of tho Ho
publican*.
First, ami principally, experience has always
shown that a gerrymander Invariably disap
points tho hopes and calculation* of those who
so far forget their manhood In greed fur otllee
as to maku it. Things never pan out as they
are expected to, and tho reason of thin U plain.
Even the rank and file of the partv which makes
the gerrymander bates to be so 'unrcaiunably
fbrn up.
AS AN tN*TANCB Of Tilt*.
tho Fifteenth District may bo mentioned. This
was Democratic before, and tho candidate* bad
passed the office of Congressman around, giving
all a fair chance, selecting In rotation from each
county In tho district. The county which in
natural rotation should have had tho nomina
tion this fall was defeated In tho long balloting,
and Dr. Pomcrene, who hod had the promise nf
the election under tho old order, was consigned
to remain at homo.
All these things make bickerings and misun
derstandings among Democrats, which by no
means conduce to victory.
UUnot proper to bo over-sanguine, as tbu
Republicans are probably destined to a very
small majority at tbo best, but It is entirely safe
to*avthat tho present enthusiasm cannot fall
to bavu Its great effect. (Uur.

“lime has healed much of the old bad feeling, ll
and In proof of it the ascendancy of the Repub

was pointed out, and encouraging evidence
drawn from It that the party might again suc

at this time, when It Is conceded that only hy
the most determined and united effort can the

three months, and may remain there a month
or two longer, and It Is impossible) that ho could
be a nurty, either one way or another, to nnv

Is best for llic Hepublleun party of Connecticut
to drop every issue calculated to cause demoral

There tie some things in the New York
paper’s editorial which arc worthy of brief
notice in the
(iUNBIIAI. I’IRLH ON ACTIVR I’OMTK'S.
us applicable to personal clTort in campaigns,
W« all know that thu founder of that paper was
olTetisfvelv personal verv olten, and was usually
never wholly Impersonal on conspicuous topics.
The bitterness and antagonisms lie created
never proved so damaging as their threatening
character for the time being indicated, and uu
thu whole perhaps the party will end less from
his aggressive style than from the Inactivity of
cautious statesmen. The opposite of Greclev
was his copartner in New York politics, Mr.
Seward, and after the dissolution of thu linn the
heat of personal partnership became Incetfinitly
warm, as we all know; but tho effect of ft upon
thu party at large was not near so destructive
as might have been predicted, if, Indeed, It did
not incite personal efforts in campaigns fur per
sonal success, even to satisfy revenges, of ad*
vantage in some respects In' reaching results.
That this could he so. with acomlfiton of things
which Involved the mud heated and hitter dis
cussions, is fair presumptive evidence of the
value of personal antagonisms under modified
conditions In party work, i remember how en
tirely tho llcoubllcan party of Illinois hurled
itself In IbSB-WJ In the personality of Abraham
Lincoln, In spite of hostile forces against him,
and went Into a Senatorial campaign for mem
bers of the Legislature on tho declaration of the
Bioto Convention that ho was the
“WIST, I.AST, AND ONI.T CHOICE ”
of his party. True, the party was worked up to
tho point of this personal Issue, but It was not
and could not be wholly divested of counter
claims lor personal preferment ut tho outset:
yet success was arrived »t, and tho party hail
tho courage to shapu thu campaign accordingly.
Douglas in that contest did not wait to bo put
forward, for the machincrv of his party was
against him, but took the field himself, and hy
tliu impress of his personality made a better
campaign, undoubtedly, than If he had been
personally nominated. If in Connecticut to-day
tho issue could be drawn distinctly between
den. ifavrloy and Senator liurnmn.—the one
able, courageous, and honest, the other at least
not distinguished for like virtues, though In
vrr> many respects a man of force,—there is
hardly a doubt of tho result; but no one pro
poses or expects that this will be done or at
tempted. Hut tho point made hy the New York
paper that dun. Hawley’s name cannot bu men
tioned lu advonce of the meeting of the Legis
lature, without being accepted as a disorgantxing
factor in thu campaign, comes in conflict with
the iucvltalile experience of all parties.' Juour
national contests men In both panics lu every

etfurt, growing out of love and enthusiasm for

thev are hut a faction In number, assert thst
thcmeullou of tils name is on offense against
the moral discipline ot iho Itcpubltcan party,
while to eoverily or even upeuly assail him Is u
fair test uf patty devotion; and when these men
have themselves succeeded in bringing tho
