John G. Thompson has arrived in Washington,
and is exciting unusual curiosity as the only Demo-
cra who was not surprised by the result of the Ohio
election. He says the Democrats were so confident
that they would carry the Legislature that they

Mr. Blaine declined to discuss State issues They
will have a chance to make the same complaint of

Watersqn says there is "irrepressible con-
1ct between the political leprosy of the Repubh-
can party and the healthfu exhalatons of that De-
mocracy which would preserve the individuality of
people by attaching them to the organic truths of
home rule. THIS conflict terminate only with
