APPEARANCES POINT TO A TERRIBLE DEFEAT FOR THE 6. 0. P. Cincin. Oct. 10th, '84,—Your correspon- dent has just completed interviewing every man in the State of Ohio, and finds that the Republican party will only get about one thousand and two votes, while the Demo- cratic majority will be not less than ’steen million. These are about as near the facts, as I could possibly get. (176,524 1-2.) I also called on Mr. Blaine during my journey through the State. (176,524 1-2.) Te looks pale and worn, and is not at all sanguine of success. 176, In an interview with Mr. Steve Elkins, he says that he is sure Ohio is lost, and intends to bolt the Republ arty, and vote for he “seducer.” (17 SCHIURZ.

We are in favor of a tariff for revenue only and also in favor of a tariff not for revenue only, and if our fellow citizens are unani- mously in favor of this view of the tariff question, then we give it our unqualified approval. MALE SUFFRAGE, Though we believe the ballot box to be the palladium of our liberties, we oppose giving the ballot to the grizzly bear and the prairie dog, while we rally around the American flag and hog. We are opposed to the radical principles of the cyclone, and reaffirm the doctrine that the pole-cat is one of the loud- est smelling of our institutions.

In dealing with this momentous question, we pledge ourselves never to lose sight of the cherished princi- ples of the fathers and among these princi- ples we recognize: 1, the inalienable right of sleeping with eyes shut; 2, the right of bearing legs as ‘well as arms; and, 3, the right of using the latter for the purpose of walking. THE NAVY. In regard to our navy, though we point with pride to the fact that none of our iron- clads was ever clad in silk, we should never- theless regard it as highly unpatriotic for our gallant naval commanders to use the smoke stacks or other public property for private night-caps, or to wear their spurs on | the shoulder. At the same time, recognizing the fact that a vast majority of our fellow citizens regard the schooner as a more capa- cious vessel than the pony, we cheerfully re- commend our brave seamen to find themselves ‘on every occasion superior to the enemy, THE ‘DIAN QUESTION, In dealing with the aborignal race, whose welfare is so largely in our hands, we shall always adhere to the humane, yet strictly just View that some eminent scholars are not agreed on the question whether the Indian word Niagara should have the accent on the second, or on the third syllable. THE MORMON QUESTION, | While we repudiate with indignation the | policy of governmental interference in domes- ic affairs of the en, our views on the queston of polygamy remain unchanged; and we boldly declare that Utah is a territory bounded on the east by Colorado, and that, though arid in some parts, it abounds in picturesque views that must commend them- selves to the heart of every true American, and we denounce all legislation inconsistent with this policy as fraught with danger.
