| John q. Thompson
says that he feels good, that the ticket is
avery strong one and will be elected. He
had rather the ticket had been reversed,
but is well satisfied as it is. John is a
Mark Tapley in politics and is always
satisfied with a Democratic Conven-
ton.
Allen w. Thurman,
son OF the Senator, said to me that the
ticket suits him admirably.
Press Opinions.
The New York Heraids special will
say: "The Convention was remarkable
and It's ticket is a shrewd and strong
one, in that all nationalities are repre-
sented and all creeds and be-
lieis. The soft money and con-
seryative Democrats have repre-
sentation, and the soldier element and
Germans, Irish and Welsh. The ticket
moreover is well distributed geograph-
ically."
The New York Tribune special will
say: "Ewing's nomination is weaker
than either Of the others would have
been. The ticket is weak, and, We
think, Will be beaten"
The Cincinnati Commercial will say:
"Ewing's nomination changes the whole
aspect of the political situation in Ohio,
and puts him forward for higher honors
and relegates Thurman in a measure to
the background II Rice accepts, it will
be with a view to the Governorihip
eventually through Ewing's still further
elevation. The ticket is well constituted
geographically, respectable in its per-
sonucl, and strong in its ensemble,
though not So strong as 1t would be
with Rice at the head
The Cincinnati Enquirer Will say "The
ticket is the strongest that could have
been nominated, and the general inn
preston is that it will win. II harmon
ICES the conflicting elements in the par
ty, removes many causes for pickering,
and on the whole is a magnificent COM
biuation. Ewing is very strong before
the people, and Rice will catch the sol
der vote. Rcemeline will also add mate
rally 10 the strength OF the ticket. Some
of the friends Of the defeated candidates
Of course, are dissatisfied tonight, but
all will wheel in AMI support the tick
et."
The New York Times will say: "The
Greenback wing Of the Democratic party
has captured the organization, and to-
day its Convention was notable chiefly
Tor the utter want OF John Thompson
and his Washington gang Of cliquers and
whippers-in. Gov. Bishop is dele
gated for ever to private life, and the
ticket is a weak one and easily beaten" "
The Chicago Tribune viii say "The
ticket is AN able one but not strong
one, AMI one that can be easily beaten
on its financial status alone
The New York World will says: GA
thorough canvass of delegates tonight
Ieyelopes the tact that the ticket is an
unusually strong one, and will probably
be- elected by handsome majority"
The Chicago Times will claim for the
Convention a good days work, and for
the ticket exceptinal strength in compO-
sition and geographical distribution.
A son OF General Tom Ewing told me
this evening that the ticket is a good
one, and one which will prove emf
nrntly satisfactory to his father.
General Rice said to a caller this even
ing that, while it is against his inclina-
ttons. ne feels that he must accept the
nomination as a united call from the
Democracy OF Ohio.
The Nationals.
The State Convention OF the Nationals
here to-day was quite an affair, and
formed a very good side-show for the
big Democratic Convention. \ full
state ticket was nominated. Both par
ties held ratification meetings in the
capitol square tonight.
The impression here, only thirty
miles from Ewing's home, is that the
nomination is strong one, and that the
ticket will be elected.

WAsHINGToN, June 4.
The following is the substance of the
Posts leader ON the ONO Democratic
nominations: The Ohio Democrats were
presented with grand opportunity and
they have taken advantage OF it. Throw

judices; they have gone straight forward

doubtedly was tine man to be selected; ;
so strong i'm his own party that he will

the Greenbackers Of Democratic procliv-
tiles that they will come up solid for
