There Is probably more real feoling this city the
present canvass than in any other part OF tho State
outside OF New York CITY Ii is the homo OF Lucius
Robinson, the democratic candidate for Governor,
whose (rhere may be moro than ono) Is practis
ing lawyer here, young man of aiabiy, and, have
doubt, OF promise, II not, IRON his position, Of
promisez There is local pride this unlike
that which prevails in regard any oiher candidate
for prominent ofnce that have witnessed, with The
exception probably OF Governor Hayes the republican
candidate Tor President whose popularity al his homo
In Ohio among his neighbors is unbounded. Hence
ought expect the democracy to be little lively
thsn usual At this time. Bui the cry has been every
where "wait wat and sec what Ohio and Indiana
don The old and young democrats having healed lncir
differences there WILL OF course be united vote for
rden and hrger one for Robinson. The story that
Jerry McGure had pronounced against Tiiden stle-
matixed by the indomtablc ex-Speaker as lie manu-
actured out OF whole cloth but that he has become 30

shat his law partner, Mr.. Hart, having presided alta
republican meeting was significant OF his own senti-
mont, Tor he said tnat during ther whole of on
siai business they had not exchanged ten words to-
gether on politics.
