THE OHIO CAMPAIGN,
As 1t Appears When Viewed from Afar.

baltimore Gazette, Dem.l
Out in Ohio the other day Demo-
cratic meeting, which was being addressed
by a colored man, was broken up by
lot of negroes who appeared on the
scene armed with corn-cutters. The corn
cutter doesn't make as much noise as a
shotgun, but it is just as effective as a
political bulldozer.
Out in Ohio the newspapers are filled
with accounts of Blaine's wonderful
memory for names and faces. He goes
about shaking hands with people whom
he hasn't seen for twenty years, remind
ing them OF incidents which they had
forgotten entirely. Blaine never forgets
anybody. If he should be walking along
lonely road at night, and smooth
faced man, with dyed black hair, black
clothes, and the sanctimonious appear
ance of moral school-master, should
jump from behind brush-heap and
should piteously exclaim, Jimmy, by
the sowl of me, gimme back me mem-
randy" Mr.. Blaine would not remark to
himself, "Behold, / have seen a wood ell"
He would simply say to himself, "By ho-
key, that's MuIligan." Such is Blaine's
memory for faces.
New Orleans Democrat, Deml
Secretary Schurz will make no more
speeches in Ohio. The Republican cam
paign fund is exhausted.
Nashville Banner, Dem.l
We don't like these Ohio explosions
just before the election. Unfortunately
the Democrats got the worst of it, because
workingmen generally are allied with the
Democratic party.

Mr.. A. Ell. Mattox, of Cincinnati, writes
long and very interesting letter to the
Springfield (Ohio) Republic, in which he
gives some personal "reminiscences of the
soldier and citizen and next Lieutenant
Governor of Ohio, General Andrew Hick-
enlooper. At the conclusion of his very
ably written letter Mr.. Mattox truthful
ly observes that a man who cherishes the
following sentiments, which General
Hickenlooper uttered in speech at Day
ton, Ohio, last June, is the right kind of
man for the Republican party to elect
at this time.
81 am for a reconciliation based only
upon the admitted justness of the cause
for which we fought; for a reconciliation
based only upon the admitted business of
every war measure on our statute books,
including the payment in honest money
of every pecuniary obligation incurred
in suppressing that unholy and causeless
rebellion; for a reconciliation based only
upon the acknowledged supremacy of ma.
tional authority over State rights. But

or the surrendering of principles to sus

throes and convulsions of civil war tc

New York Tribune, Rep.l
Hendricks has been speaking for 9
week in Ohio, and is struck by the gen
eral dullness of the canyass-m meaning
of course, the Democratic side of it. The
best he can say of the outlook is that he
thinks the Democrats are very hopeful
About the result in New York he is not
any more sanguine, and deprecates the
division in the party very much. He is
equally noncommittal concerning the
prospects of his party in 1880, remarking
that he can tell better after the fall cleo
tions. The only subject he has decided
view upon is that of Chinese labor. He
is strongly opposed to that. Let it be re.
corded, therefore, that there is one ques
tion in politics which Hendricks does moi
straddle.
[Pttsburg Commandments. Rep]
Advices received here from Ohio state
that the presence and speeches of Senator
Blaine in the campaign in that State
have created a great wave of enthusiasm
1t has not only strengthened that class Of
voters that have been afflicted with
Greenback doubts, but even the patri
archs of the party, who long ago gave
over the management of affairs to young
er hands, have been so stirred up by hi
eloquence that the result will be to bring
out the largest Republican vote that haI
been polled in Ohio for years,
New York Tribune, Rep.l
The Democratic burst of wind about
Ohio has subsidized, and the old tone o.
dependency is heard again. Senator
Mcdonald has returned to Indiana from
a brief stumping tour in aid of Ewing
and his conversation on the outlook is
anything but cheerful Democratic read
ing. The best he can say is that the re
suit is doubtful, with the chances deci
dediy in favor Of the Democrats. Thi'
takes the wind out Of Thurman's recen
assertion that eve intend' to elect Ew
ing and secure the Legislature by hand
some majority. The trouble with this
"intention" is that it is shared only by
minority of the voters of Ohio.

| Senator Blaine is creating a genuin
"boom" in Ohio. He is doing his bes
work, and thousands of fresh converts t,

already been made. In the procession
