WASHINGTON, July Gan influential and we'll
Informed Republican member of the Ohio LeRiss-
ture, who has arrived in Washington since the adj
jounment of Con ress, saws that the coming cam
pagn in that State viii be fought almost entirely
upon the financial ISSUE and that, in so far as the
GovcrnorshIp is concerned, its result is already
practically determined IN favor of the Republicans
lie says that fair-mndcd DEMOCRATS admit this
privately, and both parties, as consequence, are
laying plans for spirited contest to secure ma
jority in the Legislature.
THIS state Of affairs he attributes chiefly to revo-
luton in public opinion, especially in the northern
portions Of Ohio with regard to financial questions
aud to the fact that notwithstanding the modora-
ton of General Ewinq's recent utterances, he il
held to he the very embodiment of all that is nm
tried and irrational in matters of public economy
This gert oman says hat one year AGO public opn-
ion in Northern Ohio, even among those who called
Themselves the advocates of honest money, leaned
toward different policy from that which was at
that shno being carried ont by Secretary sherman
preparatory TO the resumption of specie payments !
and tho hard times then prevalent were
attributed to tine too great haste which
was being made in the right direction
Now that resumption is an accomplished fact and
the signs of returning prosperity are everywhere
apparent, this class of men, both Republicans and
Democrats credit the improved condition of affairs
to the event which was distinctively the fruit Of
the Republican financial policy General Ewing is
stated 10 be respected everywhere for his personal
worth but he owes his cmiuencc more 10 his finan-
cial theories than n any other quality and those
theories having already been exploded. Even DEM
ocrats VINO on ali other questions hold 70 Their Oh
convictions feel that 1t is necessary in The coming
iaht 10 give expression 6y their votes to their con
td,ucc in the present policy OF The treasury De-
partmcnt. ,
With regard to the legislation, the gentleman TO-
.crred TO believes that the prospects are very
favorable Tor the return of EcpublcGn majority.
