THE OHIO CAMPAIGN,
As 1t Appears When Viewed from Afar.
New York Times, Rep.1

ohdt ono NloW WHICH, we tOOk Ol tHc Cdu-
vass in that State shortly after it had be-
gun to be actively prosecuted was correct.
We then suggested tina. there was danger
that the Republicans would not make q
sufficiently close fight; that they would
content themselves too much with large
meetings and with measures calculated to
produce great show of enthusiasm, but
not to change votes. The traditional
order of Gen. Putnam, at Bunker Hill,
to regulate the firing by the whites
OF the enemies eyes, is as
sound in politics as in an engagement
with muskets. This is especially true
when, as in the Ohio campaign this year,
much of the public interest centers on
financial questions. Such questions are
decided by the average vote, not by
general principles, but by his view of
his own interests, and that is matter to
be argued with him individually, as the
Greenbackers argue it. If it should turn
out that the Republicans do not make as
good showing on the 18th in Ohio as
they ought, and as we still think they
may, it will be due to the neglect Of this
consideration. ...
New York Star, Ind. Deml
Some of our Ohio exchanges intimate
that Mr.. Tilden may be induced to speak
at Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati
in behalf of Ewing. 1t is to be hoped,
for the sake Of the Democratic party, that
the rulnor is without foundation.
[Chicago Times, Ind. Dem.I
Secretary Sherman left for Ohio last
evening with the avowed intention of
violating the Presidents Civil Service
order. He will make several speeches
before the close of the campaign.
lst Louis Globe Democrat, Rep]
Ohio votes next Tuesday. We look
to her people to emphasize with big
majority their condemnation of the rebel
policy which now rules the Democratic
party. We look to them to say, by
electing Foster, that the country is not
prepared for the undoing of all the good
that has been accomplished by Republi-
can legislation in the past few years to
its business interests. A Democratic vic
tory in Ohio this year would be as fatal
to business prosperity as the election of
Vallandigham would have been to the
cause of the Union in 1863.
New York Tribune, Rep1
Hendricks is bearing down in tear
full manner in his Ohio speech on the
attrocious crime of bringing a Solid
North against Solid South. He prances
about and declares such conduct "trea-
son." and begs the Lord to spare him the
pain of ever beholding any flag except
that of the Union. 1t is the mission of
the Republican party to see that your
prayer is granted, dear Mr.. Hendricks,
and in pursuance of that mission it is
leading up a Solid North to prevent a
Solid South from snatching in peace the
flag it could not shoot down in war. The
sooner you take your Solid South out of
the field, the sooner will the "treason"
come to an end.
New York World, DEM
The execrable taste of the Ohio Demo-
Gratis is not sufficiently recognized.
While, according to our esteemed Repub-
lican contemporaries, General Ewing is
taking Senator Thurman by the beard
and feeling for his fifth rib, and Senator
Thurman has cohorts of assassins in his
pay to bring about the assassination of
General Ewing, and everybody is
selling everybody else out, We learn,
also from our esteemed Republi-
can contemporaries, that General Ew-
ing, Senator Thurman and all the
rest of the Democratic leaders are work
ing hard and are likely to carry the State.
Considering how many of his waking
hours prominent Ohio Democrat, ac-
cording to our esteemed Republican con-
temporaries, must devote to digging pit
falls for his friends, and how hemust be
kept up all night by the monotonous
sound Of their spades digging pitfalls for
him, we do not very clearly see where the
man can get leisure for that effective
work against the Republicans which Mr..
Ewing has unquestionably been doing.
New York Times, Rep.I
There is moral for New York to be
had from the conduct of the Republican
campaign in Ohio, so freely criticised by
our Columbus correspondent. With the
advent Of the coming week of the strug-
gle, the Republican leaders in Ohio find
that they have been exaggerating their
own chances of successas grossly as they
have been undertaking the strength Of
their adversaries. Republican estimates
of a majority on the State ticket
have suddenly shrunk to one
third of the figure lately
claimed, and tie Legislature is regarded
as rather worse than doubtful. Careful,
pains-taking, unpretentious work appears
to be the secret of the success which has
attended the conduct of the Democratic
campaign; "too much buncombe" is
broadly, and we fear justly, announced
as the fault of the Republicans. There
may or not be time to remedy the errors
of the Ohio campaign; there is at least
ample time to provide against their repe-
