Viewed From Afar.

According to the Philadelphia Times
Senator Thurman seems to be recovering
his health in a way that threatens to
prove somewhat embarrassing to General
Ewing. The story is that Thurman and
John G. Thompson are organizing the
Hard-money Democrats of Ohio and
trading off Ewing for members of the
Legislature in Thurman's interest. This
work is reported to be going on all over
the State; and if it is, Ewing will have to
stop Dragging long before election day.
Indianapolis Journal Repl
We infer from the columns of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer that Secretary Sherman
is running for some Office in Ohio, but we
fail to discover any enthusiasm f0F Ew-
ing. 1t ought to put in word now and
then for the Democratic candidate, just
for the sake of appearances.
philadelphia Chronicle, Ind.
The campaign is so hot in Ohio that the
voters are daily treated to speeches and
scream.

Senator Thurman is still preparing to
go to Ohio and make speeches for Ewing"
But he doesn't go. He is playing the
part of the fellow in the circus who makes
a great ado about jumping, but who never
jumps.

Honest John Sherman boldly an

August 18th. The banks that profited
by that order will naturally stand by
Honest John Sherman, their great and

baltimore Gazette (Dem.N
Sam Cary's wildcat speeches, which
have been chiefly remarkable for their
incoherence, inhammability and general
recklessness, are now ornamented with
choice profanity. In a speech at Co.
lumbus, Ohio, last Wednesday night. the
great cabbage-leaf financier, swore like
the brigade teamster of the army which
invaded Flanders. The oaths stand out
on the body Of the address like brass Or
naments on BULBS horns.
New York World, Dem]
General Garfield represents Ohio as a
combination of Castle Garden with Ober-
lin College. He says, without explaining
the causes of the phenomenon, that the
Germans, the Welsh and many if not
most of the mechanics who come there
from the East enter the State as Demo-
Gratis, but leave it on their Western tramp
as Republicans. This tickle and unstable
character of his constituency must indeed
make it very risky for a Representative
who must be reelected every two years
to hold any opinions of positive sort on
taxation or finance or money, since it
must be quite impossible for him to fore
know what the voters who chose him
yesterday will think about these things
tomorrow.
New York Star, Dem
General Garfield is apprehensive that
the Democrats will carry Ohio at the
coming election. The prospects of the
Republicans must be very bad when Gen.
Garfield consents to make such a public
declaration. He is the most sagacious of
the Buckeye Radicals, and can see twice
as far around corner as John Sher-
man.
New York Tribune, Rep
That infamous Congressional gerry
mander of the Ohio Democrats needs
rebuke. The best way to do it is to elect
a Republican Legislature.
Gen. Garfield has given Herald cor

is virtually settled in favor of Foster
The hard-money Democrats fear Ewing
and the effect his election would have to
unsettle business. They are forming
honest-money leagues in the chief cities
of the State, with the intention of bring
ing the Democratic party back to its old
financial moorngs. The present favora-
BILE outlook for the Republican party, the
General thinks, is against the renomina-
ton of Grant. Still, much will depend
upon the course of the Democrats in Con-
gress next winter. The Republicans being
everywhere in accord on all questions, are
at liberty to select their candidate from
any part of the country. No such liberty
of choice is allowed the Democrats. The
party appeared foredoomed to have

they are making small headway, and the
party will grow beautifully less as the
campaign proceeds.
New York Times, Rep.l
Gen. Ewing, Democratic candidate fol-
Governor of Ohio, is widely advertised as
a high-toned gentleman, but it must be
admitted that he descends to contempti-
