Democratic Prospects in rMaIne, In
dlana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Washington, Aug 30 B T Mer
rick, Eq, of mis city, who was one of
the Democratic counsel Deiorw mc
Eiecto.ai Commission, has returned
to Washing'on from a Northern tr'p.
Mr Merrick has seen Gen Hancock re
cently, as well as Cbaiimaa Barnum
nod others prominent in the Demo
cratio councils, and he sajs, their in
formation givoe entire assairance of
ihe Democratic ticket in November,
lie says thai in Maine the uniou la
petit ct b. twteu iUo Ir.aa nibts, aud
though the state i c.oae, the Repub
licans willtjnbke no gain upon them.
Indiana he seta down as certain for the
Democrats. The Democratic organi
zation in that State, under the man
agement of Mr Eugliab, was never so
complete aa liOW, and na doubt what
ever is felt in the nbiiity of the party
to carry it by a iitacUome majority.
Mr Merriok says that the Democrats
have good rea; on to believe that they
wiJl carry Ohio, although thoy do not
make any po-it vc- c.aini to that effect.
That Hancock will be eieitad, he has
no shadow of doub.
Senator Wallaoe arrived here to day
from Pennsylvania Ho says that tho
Democrats evorywhere in the State
are united and confident cf victory,
while the Repub icans in many places
are quarrelling and generally despond
ent. Senator Wallaoe eaya that if the
Democrats carry Indiana in October.
Pennsylvania will certainly give a ma
jority for Hanccck and Euglish Ex
GovCurtin, he, says win probably be
the D mjcr to candidate for Con
grets iii the Twentieth District, which
was carried in 1878 by Yocum Green
backer, by a Email majoiity. In the
Twenty fifth District, low represent
cd by Harry White, the Democrats
and Greenbackers are united in sup
port of James Mosgrove, the Demo
cratio Candidate for Congress. Mr.
Wallace thinks that Mr. White will be
defeated.
Hurricane at Jama ca-
PllUjADELl'lirA, Aug 30 (Japt Bl
uett J Smirh s'eamtd up the Doiav-in-from
Port Antonio, Jamaica, to day, an-i
when he cache ashore g.ive a graphic ao
count ol the hurricane which swept over
the island on the 18th ir.st. 'hn
weather,' Baid Cipt Smith, had been
threatening tar two or three days, and 1
kuew that sotuethiug was up, but 1 did
no lo' k tor any such storrn as the one
that struck u and devastated the islam i
in such a snort space of lime. Tu
bar meter, which had been falling for' twe
or three day, bcau to go down ver,
rapidly on Wedccsday, and at 1 ococfc
that attemoon il tgau to blow At tirai
we thought it only a squall, but th force
of the wind gradually increased to a hur
ricane, and from 10 o clock that night un
til 2 o'clock . the next morning it blew
with a power that swept everything be
fore it.'
The Captain says that many small
schooners were dashed on the beach - and
wrecked at Port Antonio, and eleven
houses were demolished. At Spring
Grove, out of thirtjseven houses, onlj
eleven are left standing. At Nauchioneat
there is not a house left whole. At
Kingston the capital and principal sea
port, the destruction of property waY
very great. Only one Wrf is left, and
nearly all the small shipping-io the har
bor was destroyed. Although the greats
est damage was done along the harbor
front jtl e upper part of the tovn suflerert
very mucb. Amorig the wrecked buildr
iugs were the Ebenezor school house and
the Korean Catholic school in Sutton
street. Great damage was done to the
parade gardens- The loss is very great.
Many banana p'antations are destroyed,
and the growing cocoanuts ruined. Men
who had hundreds of acres of banana
ready for market have not a bunch left
It is calculated that the island has been
put back at least two years by the storm.
