At this distance the indications are that
both tickets will be buried in common
grave, and Foster triumphantly elected.
Ewing will widen the breach between the
hard and soft money Democrats, and, while

WASHINGTON COMMENT. ,.y
The Ohio Democrats in Congress are elated
over the nomination of Ewing and Rice at
Columbus to-day. They say it combines all
the elements of the party, especially as
Bishop joined in the movement to make the
ticket. Senator Thurman's friends say that
while they would rather have had Rice for
the first place, yet they will work heartily for
the ticket. If the ticket is elected, it is ad-

reason that John G. Thompson, sergeant-at-

the Greenbaok candidates only Republican
votes to draw from. Two years

$4,000 votes. This year, it il
predicted, it will not poll more than $4,000
