CLEVELAND Ohio August II, 1872
me campaign in this State will formally open about
ten days hence. inst now the warm weather and
mo watering places take the public mind or poll
tics have made canvass Of the northern part
Of the State, and report as follows:-
THE NEWSPAPERS.
There are, in English, only three democratic
<ailies In Ohio: the Enquirer at Cincinnati Plain
aedyes at Toledo; and the Herald, small paper at
Dayton The ohio Statesman, the daily organ at the
State capital, has persisted from natural decay
and It's franchise in the telegraph news, the only
thing about it worth possessing, has become the
heritage of the Postmaster's paper there.
The Cincinnati Commercial is the great popular
supporter OF Greeley and 1t gives him that species
Of newsy, judicious support which is more available
that bcration
Some queer things happen in the canvass
Among these are the defeat of w. w. Armstrong
for Congress by Rush Sloan, liberal, the former
editor Of the Cleveland Plaiadealer. Sloane is q
railway president, and he gave q democratic dis
trct the first taste Of the disadvantages OF fusion
IN this State, generally, the liberals get the nomi-
nations in republican districts, the democrats in
regular democratic districts.
THE sTEUBRNvILLE DISTRICT.
John A. Bingham, weeping like King Lear, was
beaten for Congress In this district by a Captain
Foreman, whom the liberals expect to demolsh
with Mr. Danford. Mr.. Bingham expects situa-
ZION II Grant be elected
TOLEDO DISTRICT.
The democrats say that I'VE districts are this
year conceded to them in Ohio, and they have high
hopes OF carrying ten. At present they possess
only four congressman, namely:-van Trump, Kin
pey, Campbell and Morgan These districts have
been gerrymandered to suit the republican
nj atos
10 elect Frank Hurd in the Toledo dis
trict over General Sherwood, late Secre-
sary Of State and one of the Ohioans
who assisted to beat Schuyler CofaX for the Vice
Presidency at Philadelphia Hurd is now City Soil
citor Of Toledo, and was once Attorney General Of
che State His friends expect to elect him by reason
pf the naughty entertained by Toledo city for
the rural districts, when discOurteous Legislature
appended to that great and nvincibe town the Con-
Dederate Corners proper Of Nasty, who lives there
Sherwood lives outside Of Toledo, and Toledo will
have none Of him. In the
MARIETTA DISTRICT
the democrats have put up Mr.. Hudson to beat
Colonel Moore. This, being strong New England
district has many old abotionists in 1t who adj
mire Greeley, and the democrats hope and believe
shat they win somewhat distract things there. In
THE DAYTON DISTRICT
1r. Wynana strong free trade doctrinaire Will run
against Gunkle, Superintendent of the celebrated
eoldiers' Home at Dayton an institution which was
tho theme Of contention in Congress at one time
- TO whether its soldiery, assembled from many
States should be allowed to outvote the legitimate
fegident constituency. On this hung at one time
'the instatement Of Robert G. Schenck, and he
ayailed himself Of the matter and took his seat
Now It seems that the Superintendent himself
climbing up on precedents, expects to 60 to the
House Of Representatives by the soldiers votes,
and, to add to the extravaganza OF the thing, the
Legislature have cut the Dayton district In half In
order to heap up the majority against the liberals
In the
/ LEBANON DISTRICT
Of Ohio whence Tom Corwin came to the surface,
John sohn, distiller, has been nominated by the
Greeley republicans. He has 200 majority against
him. In the
CHILLICOTHE DISTRICT
J. T. Neal q democrat, has been nominated, and Is
thought to be sure OF his election, that district
being democratic.
THE EVANSVILLE DISTRICT
= democratic by about two thousand eight hundred
majority, and there the fusionists have nominated
. Mr.. Southland against Judge Marsh.
THE YOUNGSTOWN DISTRICT
y preponderatingly republican, being full Of mines
and iron mills, but even there the liberal repub-
Ncans have nominated q Mr.. Brown against L. D.
and is the largest mil-owner in that district. His
nomination shows that not oil the mill-owners in
the country are opposed to Mr.. Greeley.
! Columbana county, In this district, is said to
have more republican OBJECTIONS In it than any in
the State, partly because there is large German
population there and partly also because there is
IN old abolition population, and In the abolition
districts West Greeley is uniformly strong In the
TWO CINCINNATI DISTRICTS
where the Germans constitute great element,
Milton j. Taylor and General Banning have been put
In nomination, the latter liberal republican while
Tor the short term Ozro J. Dodds has been nomi-
mated in place OF q retiring member, Perry. Mr..
Taylor is an amable agreeable lawyer, popular
Banning has been an Official republican, and is a
protheE.in-law Of the celebrated Don Plat, the
journalist. In the
j very strong nomination has been made by the
democrats, H. J. levitt, Vice President Of the Pan
the nominating convention. Although this district
has been fixed up by the Legislature 80 as to return
D regular 1t is believed that levitt who is one of
the ablest men In Ohio, has good chance to run in.
J. w. Berry will stand In the
MANSFIELD DISTRICT.
He ID lawyer OF Upper Sandusky. He will have to
fAce the resident influence OF John Sherman, who

Sherman, by the way, is in considerable distress Of
mind on account Of the proprey of his credentials

Senate. There stand aflxed to the records Of the
Senate resolutions OF protest against the legality
Of sherman's election-the came Senate which
elected him under the orders Of its presiding ofcer
having seeded from the act. II grleves Sherman's
heart to reopen this contest although he has every
Chance OF winning It, because the State Senate as
u now STANDS mas become anti-Sherman owing to
Greeley republican detection. In the great
HOOP-POIE DISTRICT,
Charles Lamison has been nominated and he will
have what Is called walk over" He Is the pres
