Senator Morrill, of Vermont, nrrw
takes precedence of all his colleagues! in
iba National Legislature in the matter
ot years. He is not only the oldest Sen
ator io age, but also in term of office,
and he has, besides, the satisfaction ot
knowing that the Green ' Mountain
State is the only j one that holds its
united representation in the Senate ot
'eighteen years ago.

The New York Herald correspon
dents are the bo3t;and most reliab.le in
"the country. This is a fact well estab
lished and generally admitted. They
are a paid staff and their reports arc
made up impartially from facts and
figures and not from feelings and fan
cies. Hence their great reliability.
Viewed in this light the following from
the Herald correspondent at Columbus.
Ohio, will bo found to throw some,
positive indications on the aspect oj
aftairs in that State. The outlook,
sketched by this (correspondent, is de-
cidetllv encouraging to. Democratic
hopes. The letter is too long in its en
tirety for our columns ana nence we
confine ourselves to themost important
parts of it:
Columdus. Oct. 5, 1884. To-day
politics have been at white,heat Meir
bcrs of local organizations and candi
dates crowded both the State head
quarters and gave very different reports
regarding the outlook. All agree-that
the feeling is so intense as to render the
prevention of collisions difficult. The
workers ot both sides are already or
jaaiziDg for the final struggle. The
last calls are being made on the State
committees, and the contest now re
mains with the local committees. For
some weeks the indications painted to
hard tight, but a decided Democratic
majority. Were the election to be held
to-day the result would be very close,
with perhaps no adds either way. It
is difficult to predict what changes
may take place in another week with
the agencies at work that are now re
sorted to on both (sides. . There seems
to be nothing left undone and nothing
two toul to be taken advantage of by
both parties. The Democrats have the
bestoreanizationi and may have the
best wind on the homestretch.
The Republicans have acknowledged
fheir alarm by drawing Blaine back
into the State from West Virginia.
To-night another programme is an
nounced that will keep him on the
rpad in this State! till the day before
the election. This return of the chief
k looked on as a confession o.a the part
JjJ the Republicans of a desperate case.
They feared reaction from the demon
'rations of last week and now must
feep np the State campaign, when all
13 either lost or more to "be gained by
ntinuing the fight:
Meantime the Democrats follow bis
orse, sowing pamphlet copies of the
Malligan letters and other documents
broadcast among the crowds that gath
er witness the demonstrations.
This travelling of candidates has
fcued thinns in the State more than
Ter. but the indications at this late date
re that the old party lines will be ob-
fTedwhh all BTMnt nn WaI State
issues, in which the Democrats get all
wueuis. jasi year me uernocrais
Samed among wool growers. As this
'a" is now dissatisfied with both
Parties these sheep men will vote their
W party tickets.' The tariff agitation

ve complexly Tailed on the part of
Publicans, while business is depress
p and thousands of men are out of
employment. The liquor question is

Jwt is stirring rip the " natives; The
gge having beeu made that General
gwnson, candidate for Secretary of
ate, a crusader and Know Noth

JJJJ amendment, the Germans and
th rs are alm3t as much aroused as

voters and others engaged in the fraud
nlent vote business are likely to work.
There seems to be very little indication
that allegal voting ' and almo3t every
thing else will be attempted.
The canva'ss is being closely conduct
ed on both side3 from the national Head
quarters in New York. Blaine's second
route is so arranged as to take in the
close. Congressional districts, in which
the hottest of the fight is raging and in
which trades may be made to such an
extent as to change the result on the
State tickeX. The result in the districts
cf Page and McKinley, Foran and
Barnett. Follett and Butterworth will
be very close,- white in others the fiht
is bitter. The Democrats feel confident
ot a majority oftho Congressmen, and
they certainly have an even fight on the
State.

Attempted Burglary.
About 1 o'clock on Monday morning
a colored man was discovered by the
iSmates trying to effect 'an entrance
through one of the windows of a house
on North Second street, between Chest
nut and Mulberry. When ".the burglar
found that the people were awake and
had seen him he very deliberately
walked out to the sidewalk and went
off whistling, as unconcerned as if he
was engaged in an entirely legitimate
occupation. An examination the next
morning showed that he had tried
several ot the windows before he had
been interrupted. The gentleman of
the house was absent at the time, a
fact cf which the scamp was un
doubtedly well aware.
