between Senator Cameron and Colonel
Forpey has been revived with greater N.
imosiiy than ever, Tor the reason that Mr..
Cameron Is supposed 10 be 5 candidate
for reelection. There can be no doubt
that the uDpopulArity Of Mr.. Cameron will

and Auditor, and will either vote Tor the
Democratic candidates fOr those Offices o.

HArtrAntt and Allen may be defeated and
yet the State be carried BY the Repubi-
cans on the general ticket At any nate,
considering the adverse circumstances
attending the local CANVASS, the State viii
be pretty sure 10 give It's electoral votes
Tor Grant and Wilson, unless the Demo
Gratis carry it in October by an unprece-
den.ed m1iority. This they are not at al
likely 10 do.
The Republicans Of the party have
been 50 confident o. success that there
seems 10 be more danger Of losing the
State on the national issue than either
PennEylvGnls or Indiana. While the Re-
plblicsDs have been apathetic, the Demo
ccats have expended thar best efforts In
this Siste, and il Is believed that the
Republicans will meet with heavy Losses
in Hamilton, CuYAhogs and two OF three
other counties, where the German Re
p1blicans are tsltering more than in 9TH
er parts Of the state. The Republicans
promise 20 make these LOSES good in some
Of the interior counties, and il Is gerer-
ally believed that u ,, StAte Is safe for the
Republican ticket, both in October and
November.
