strong, of the Pam Dealer; but, having
met in the Gilsey House this morning.
they made the best of it and sailed in
for a good time. The air was blue with
the smoke OF political bate before they
had been together four inmates, and
when your correspondent elbowed bis
way between them they all began 10 talk
at cnce. What the emaciated McKn-
ney had to say was something alter this
manner.
a"I believe that General Ewing is 60
ing to carry Ohio, because / believe
that Ohio for years has. been riehtfully
Democratic by fr' m $4,000 to 10000.
The only way in Gods world by which
they have altered the States political
record has been by recklessly using
money. That is tie only means By
which they can possibly beat the. people
now. and ,as it, is l have no idea they
will. The people - are Thoroughly
aroused to this danger, and know what
to guard against. We have stringent
election law, and its violatnrs know what
to expect. In their present mood the
Republicans cant buy up the vote OF
Ohio. - ,E'-.s
C)rrespondent-Give us some fs-
ures
McKinuey-Figures! Here they are
put them down while talk: The
National vo in Ohio last year will 60
for General Ewing, and 10000 for the
whole Democratic ticket. The Repnbli-
cans last year carried the State by 5000.
, You can figure it. On the basis Of their
Hast year vote we should get %, 900 ma.
joritv.,I believe it will be more. Cen
eral Ewing will receive the whole hard.
money vote of his party. Every prom
inen. National has come out squarely foI
him. Even Cary is stumping the state
for him. He had been told by Throck
;, morton that out OF 800 Greenback voter.
= In Ross County all but three had sai
, that they should vote for Ewing, ant
f that's pretty good average, added Mr.
/, Mckinney.
' Here C lionel Arm strong put in his oar
to say that Cuyahoga County would .e
t dnce the Repuhl can plurality $500.
