The democratic papers Of the State under the lead of
The Cincinnati Enquirer. are almost unanimous for
revival their party, pure and simple and for
Straight D-mocratic nominations. The Liberals LED by

hold the balance of power The Cincinnati Commercial
strikes the most effective blows yet felt in The fray.
