Democratic ..Fioat.,, in ohio.

General Garfield, In an interview the other
day, said the hardest fight for the republicans
OF Ohio, In the present campaign, will be for
the legislature. The democrats, he said, in the
constitution fixed system OF "noats' which
will make 1t harder for the republicans to elect
legislature this year. He continued:
''ihey fixed the representation SO that where
there was county having enough to give them
member, and have a fraction over, would
every three years have two. This was very
just measure, but they further arranged this
system Of representation In manner not quite
as just. They locked over the districts and ar
ranged them so that In counties where there
were large democratic maJor1ties these "floats,'
as we call the extra MEMBERS would be elected
IN years In which there was senatorial elec.
tlon. In republican counties, on the contrary.
they arranged to have the tfoats" elected In
years In which there would be no senatorial
election. Thus you see that even IL there were
no change In the popular vote of the state, it is
harder for us In senatorial years to elect ma
tority OF the legisl ure. This year is one, and
we have to elect four or five members more In
thls year than In year in which there was no
jOrlty."
