LIRERAL PROSPECTS N OHIO.

|
OF THE TWENTY FOR THE LIBERALS.
| TO ne Editor Of The Trt6Uhe
SIR: During the past two months have
personally visited 30 Of this state and from
30 have and crossexamined representative
residents and from the remainder Of the counties have
received letters Now If human testimony is good for
anything. have at least 5000 known Republicans
who have declared for Greeley and Brown or these we
certainly get 10000 TO vote the Democratic State
ticket In October and that will give Ohio even on
the basis Of the OF 1863 could give you details
from every county and often from individual townships.
In every instance In my estimate have taken the low
est number reported. OF must have thorough
organization and must fight every inch OF the ground,
but that you may rely upon will be DONE With victory
| in October, we can count upon the Democratic vote
within per cent in November We are determined to
carry the State in October and have the forces TO
| do it,
As to the Congress Districts expect TO elect at
least y out of the 30 and shall contest at least three
more with hope of victory. As to this will give you
some Of the reasons for the faith which is in me-
IsT DIsTRICr.-Here the fight for the long term IL
between EggesOn and sayer with the vote OF las year
in favor and certainly cannot be decreased our
side this year. There spots and Sayler will
be elected The short term II between TAFT fepD and
Dodds Dem) with the chances in favor fTaft. Dodds
member Of the Legislature last year, voted for the
Adar liquor law, sin which fear the Germans will
not forgive. think Dodds will be beaten, although the
tide may strong that German friends may not
all stop to scratch their tickets and thereby let him
slide through.
lid DsTRTCI-Here the fight is between Hayes and
Banning with the vote OF last year in favor OF Hayes.
still | think Banning will beat him. Hayes is popular
with the people, is an excellent cauvasser, and has a
local hold upon several potential political forces which
Will tell in his He the champion of the Eight
hour law in the Legislature, and is strong with tn,
Trades Unions.
lid DIsTRcT-Here there is amaiority Of l69 against
the Liberals years vote, but easily be
come. John w. sohn, the Liberal candidate is man Of
large wealth, and German. he will carry the solid
OF his countymen Trustworthy returns from every
county In his district, which have verified by personal
visitation, show 1900 Liberal Republicans He will be
elected easily.
IvTH DIsTRICr-Here have only 7s5 TO overcome.
and with Winans candidate, and 1000 Liberal
Republicans already known, and unpopular candidate
like Gunckle fight, don't have any fears of the
suit notwithstanding the Soldiers Home dodge, that is
so much relied upon by the enemy.
vTH DIsTRICT.-Democratc by 5,233 majority.
yITH DIsTRIcT-This district could easily hav1 been
carried had our friends been united. Tle tority
against us is 1885, but the enemy is badly divided upon
Sherwood their candidate, and that with the large de-
fections from Grant would easily II. had not
our frieuds into trouble. Hurd is very popular
man in the district but fear he cannot overcome the
Liberal Republican bolt from his own Convention. Tue
bolt not based upon opposition to Hurd, but because
OF the claim that in Republican dist let the candidate
should be Liberal Republican.
WITH DsTRTCT-Democratic by 1896, and sore
spots Neal will be elected easily
With DISTRICT is against by 1888, and, presume,
hopeless. Our nomination is not yet made. Lawrence
is the Grant candidate.
IXTH DISTRICT 1 count reasonably for Gen.
Morgan. He is popular with everybody. He will even
get some Grant Republican votes. and those with the
adv will iusu
his
XTH DISTRICT will be fought harder than any other
Both candidates popular and rich Tney will poll
every vote the district, but have entire confidence
in soanes ability to beat Foster He has only 532
to overcome but he will lose Democratic and
a few Liberal Republicans. We have already enrolled
in the district over Greeley Republicans, OF whom
nine-tenths will for Sloane. | think he will be
elected Certainly there will be no legitimate appliance
known to political warfare which will be left unused.
XIrH DIsTRICT.-Nash will undoubtedly beat Bundy.
I was in that section of the State last week. aud saw
men from all parts the district. and feel confident
that he can safely upon l2OO Greeley Republicans.
all OF whom will vote for Nash, who has always been
Republican Bundy is the pronounced Protection
ist in Ohio which will be against him In such counties
as Hooking and ScotO Nash is moderate Protection
ist and is in favor of judcous tariff" He is said to
be an able stumper and is very popular in his district.
The vote TO be overcome is 1,4S3.
on last years vote. Jewetts is the strongest nomi
nation that could have been made by the Liberals.
XIIITH DIsTRIcT.-This is Democratic by 2,4Gl which
southard by the aid Of the Liberal Republicans, will
largely increase.
XIvrH DrsTRIcr-This is Democratic by 3,74O Berry's
majority will not be less than 1000.
XVIII DIsTRTcT.-This presents the most interesting
fight in the State. The Liberal candidate, C. L. Poorman,
has no superior a stump speaker in the State. He
has always been Republican Of the straightest sect
and OF course, will poll the full Liberal strength. Bing
hams friends are utterly disgusted by the
used to overthrow their idol that very many OF them
will probably scratch Danford. The detection
ainly great was in every county OF the district last
week. and, with the exception OF Belmont Danford's
residence) i found open opposition to Danford from
Grant Republicans and don't believe all Of them can
be whipped in. Again Poorman will get the coored
vote of his district, some 200 In number. He was an
open advocate OF negro suffrage and Danford opposed
It. The Liberals claim 1900 Republican votes In the dis
trict and think it perfectly safe 10 1900, that
even the XVIII District is not utterly hopeless.
XVIIrH DIsTRIcT--This has 1888 against US. but I
think Richard has fair chance for election.
There at least Oo Liberal Republicans In his dis
riet and he will carry personal vote out OF the shops
over which he is chief of at least 500 He Is the cand
XVIIITH DIsrRIcT.-Here the Liberals have made no
nomination yet, but with the large detection from
Grant OOerin, II Is thought that Munroe the Grant
candidate, has work before him. Notwithstanding
his majority OF 1904 In last years vote.
XIXTH DISTRICT (Garteld's)-Ths Is 9740 against US.
and will be reduced at least half Our friends In
Asbtabua claim 1900 Greeley Republicans. and have
no doubt they will have 1000.
XXrH DIsTRIcT.-This 5967 against us last year.
and Is by hopeless district. We have In Guy
ahOga County by actual count, full 1890 Greeley Re-
pubicans, mostly Germans. In Cleveland there
very few Americans who dare declare for Greeley The
Germans however, are at eastOOo or OOO strong and
they substantially unitNfor Greeley and Brown.
Parsons is the Grant nominee. and the Iron Ring will
spend thousands TO secure his election but the Germans
are as true az steel and with proper candidate we VIII
give him hard fight. LBERAL-
