SOUTHERN OHIO.
oh. V. r." correspondent of the
Commercial, who has travelled extern
sively in Southern Ohio, says:
The result of my observations in the
Ohio River counties does not tall v
with the expectations of the Demo.
cratic managers at Columbus. They
are doomed to disappointment in their
sanguine calculations. Mr.. Thomp-
son must revise his figures, aud strike
off largely from his expected gains.n
He had as well do it now as after the
election, and save disappointment, for
the returns he will get in October will
knock his present calculation all on
end.
For instance, we have beard much
from the managers about the immense
gains their party was making in Law
renee county. The Democratic Com
mittee at Columbus claim it by 1900
majority. Now, to carry it by this
majority, or any other, they will have
to make large inToads into the RepuD~
lican vote-that is, win over largely
from that party. Bat Will they? All
evidence is to the contrary. AT Iron
ton l made repeated inquiry for the
names of any Republicans who were
either openly for Allen, or who were
weakening | heard of one, and
only one. The fact that all to whom
| spoke mentioned him, and none 9TH
er, is good evidence that he stands
pretty much alone in the matter of
Democratic gains This gentleman
is a well known iron manufacturer
Peters by name. Mr.. Peters has sons
and sons-in-law, not one of whom will
follow him into the Democratic camp.
They will try and keep house while
the old gentleman is gone, and well
come him back to the Republican fold
when he returns, which will be- it 5
thought, Immediately after the cleo
! ton.
Now, if there are other Republicans
in that county who avoW them selves
for Allen, l did not hear of them, and
made diligent inquiry. Since re-
| turning from the county / have met
severalfresidents thereof, and their testi
mony is all to the same effect, that the
| Democrats will not make gains. II
anybody can show from what voters
they expect to make their gains y
let him, in the expressive language OF
Governor Allen, " rise up and spit it
out"
MORTON's TOUR.
This morning l met Colonel #. J.
Brady fresh from the southern coun-
ties, where be has been with Senator
Morton. The tour of the Senator in
that part of the State closed at Mariet-
Ia Friday night.
Colonel Brady is an experienced per-
son in politics. He knows what a po-
liucal contest is, and he can tell a close
fight when he sees it. He is Chairman
of the Indiana State Republican Com
mittee, and occupied that position
through the last campaign. Previous
to that he was Chairman of the Della.
ware County Republican Committee
from 1864 to 1874. Therefore he has
