Waut, popularity stated, are the differ

."Weli, upon the well-known party Diff
ferences the Democratic platform takes q
positive stand--namely. in favor OF untim-
tied silver and greenbacks instead OF bank
notes, and n-fayor OF free elections."i =
s.What effect will the yetoes Of the Pre-
sident have upon the situation in Ohiot" Z
81 think, they have had the effect OF tho
roughly uniting the Democrats, and IN that
respect we shall baye decided advantage
over the Republicans. Indeed, ], don't
know when we have ever entered cam
paigu so well. prepared" ss.a : -
. is there any division between the Thur
man Democrats and Ewing Democrats ?"
81 think not.r;,The. Democratic party Ia
Ohio has always been in favor OF greenbacks
as opposed to bank notes, and they are all
united on the silver issue. In fact, think
the majority of the rank and file OF the Re-
publican party think as we do the money
question, and the, money question will, l
think, be, the chief issue Of the campaign.
OF course the subject, OF military interior
ence at the polls is a strong element; but
don't think the Republicans will have much
to say on that subject" 3e.h# -
!" You hardly fear any Federal Interior
ence in your own campaign"

On the subject OF the @ Rebel Brigadier-
General" in politics, General Ewing
thought the Republicans bad placed them
selves at disadvantage, and on that issue
he said: s'Rce and [ on three legs can
beat Foster and Hickeuleoper on four"
What OF the National vote in your CAM
paign!" ...j~ ..rJ
"Last year it was about $4,000. 1t was
drawn, almost equally from both parties.
This wear hope for u large proportion OF
it. and with it and the popular feeling in the
State on the issues OF the campaign feel
very sure that we shall more than overcome
last years Republican, plurality OF 3.4OO
votes. We never have any money to run
campaign. Ours is the poor mans party,
you know, but we shall have distinguished
speakers from other States and will make
the campaign the liyeliesta and most spirited
known in Ohio for years., And IL we can
carry Ohio, we can carry Illinois, Indiana,
and Wisconsin Oh The same issues. the pop
u(ar sentiment being so much. the same in
these northwestern States" rr -
