the East-PrOspeCts Of Democratic
SucCfss In Ohie-TIlden-GFant
New YORK, July 9.-Gen. Thomas Ewing,
of Ohio, while in conversation with reporter
to-day, said that the National party seems to
be making good headway in the East. In
Ohio the Democracy has adopted o platform
which virtually embraces all that the Ma
tionals ask We are for greenbacks in the
West. We are opposed to Sherman's resump-
tion schemes. He does infinite harm to the
country by pressing his resumption policy.
Senator Thurman has had the reputation OF
being hard-money man, but he has modified
his views considerably.
The Democrats are very confident Of win
ming in Ohio this year. We lost the State in
1876 by only 5000 votes; we carried it last
year by $4,000, and we are likely to hold our
own this fall. We hope that Mr.. Sayler will
be reelected from one of the Cincinnati dis
tlicts. Judge Force, very strong man, will
run against him. Gov. Tom Young. who is
very popular, will be candidate against
Banning. Sayler is one Of the best parlia-
mentarians have ever seen in the Speakers
chair, and If he is defeated, 1t will be great
blow to the Ohio Democracy.
I do not think that Mr.. Tilden has any
strong support in the West for renomina-
tion for the Presidency, and, as for Gen.
Grant being renominated, we look to the
people of the Eastern States for an answer to
that question.
