WAsHl>GloN. June I7.-Information rs TO the
prospects of the coming campaign in Ohio is eagerly
welcomed here. All received up 10 the present mo-
ment goes to show that the struggle will be an eX-
ceedingly close one. Republican and Democratic
accounts agree in representing that there are no IN
dicauons of a breaking down of party lines and that
the actual strength of the rival organizations Is
about the same as last year. The result 1t Is be-
heved will be victory for the party that IS able to
bring the greater proportion of It's voting strength
TO tn. polls. The Republicans are likely As usual
10 suffer most from lack OF interest among the
rank and file of their party aud the small margin Of
5000 or 5000 majority which they have had for
two wears past on a very full vote cannot be de-
pended upon unless the canvass should be an eX-
citing one. On the other hand the Democrats
seem badly off for the want OF genuine
issue While opposing President llayess party they
will be obliged to commend his policy and the only
question upon which they appear likely to antago-
uze the Republicans Is the silver question. and even
then if the Republicans adopt the platform OF John
Sherman and Stanley Matthews the issue will not
be very distinct IL is undoubtedly part Of the
Democratic plan TO run the canvass largely upon the
line of Mr. Hlden's recent speech but the most sa-
gacious of the party leaders do not seem to have
much faith in the efficiency Of the cry Of fraud They
are obliged when they cry fraud in the same breath
TO say a good word for the Administration. whose
manner of getting into Office they are denouncing
Great interest is felt by the President and the mem
bers of the Cabinet IN everything which relates to
the campaign. 1t is evident that they are very
anxious for the prestige of a Republican victory in
Ohio. and that they will be seriously disappointed
if they fail TO receive it,

II is understood that the President intends to
spend portion Of the months Of July and August at
the Green Brier White sulphur Springs in Virginia
with mis- family, and that he has engaged cottage
there The Waite sulphur IS great resort OF South
ern politicians. They come from all parts OF the
South every Summer, and the place becomes sort Of
poltical exchange and caucus where news is inter
changed, State and National affairs discussed and
plans Land for coming campaigns. The proposed
visit Of the President to this Southern Saratoga
naturally creates great deal of talk and specula-
ton The Democrats appear to be alarmed lest he
is gong TO coax Southern Congressman into some
new plan for organizing the House III support of
the Administration. The probability is that If
the President goes it will be with other purpose
than the very sensible of finding rest and cool
air AT a watering place where he can become ac-
ouainted with the leading men OF the South. 1t
has been long time since a President Of the United
states manifested much interest III that section of
the couutry except when called upon to order troops
tbere 10 support carpet-bag governments. Mr..
Uaves's trip to Virginia will be a new and appro-

with which be is pursuing the policy Of reconcilla-
