What 30 Says Of the State Of Ohio Politics
at Present.
Hon. Milton Sayler, of Cincin-
natl, arrived by the overland train
on Thursday last, and is stopping
at the Palace, where he was inter
viewed on Friday by Gall report.
er, for the purpose of obtaining his
Views in regard to the probable re.
suit of the political campaign in
Ohio this Fall. Mr.. Sayler has
been elected to the lower
house of Congress five successive
terms from the First District of
Ohio, composed of portion of the
city of Cincinnati, aud was defeated
by Benjamin Butterworth last Fall,
after close aud exciting canvass.
He has been prominent candidate
for Speaker of the House b Store the
Democratic caucus at several ses-
sions, and was q member of the
Committee on Ways and Means iu
the Forty-fifth Congress. Mr.. Say
ley said ut this early day it was
difficult to predict with any degree
Of certainty the result of the Octo-
ber election In Ohio. Upon a full
vote the State was conceded to be
Republican by q small majority,
but it was liable to fuctuate from
5000 to 10000 majority either way,
and the result might be changed by
some trihing political incident

like seemingly unimportant cir

few votes in each district, would
constitute majority in the State
at large. In the present contest

ence, an excellent stump-spesker,
and has an excellent war record.
He Will mako thorough canvass
of the State, and will no
doubt, win many votes. The can.
didate for Lieutenant. Governor,
General Americus V. Rice, is also
very popular man with the peo-
pie. He lost leg in the war, and
was a candidate before the nom-
mating convention for the first
place upon the ticket. On the 9TH
er hand, Charles, or "Charley,n
Foster, as his friends call him, is a
favorite with the people. He Is
what may be called u good "mixer''
that is, he goes among and iden-
titles himself with all classes.
"Charley," however, did not 60 to
the war, and as the two leading
candidates, on the Democratic
ticket did, the "bloody-shirt" cry
will not be raised in the campaign;
but the issue will be mainly the
finances and the actien of the
Democrats at the extra session Of
Congress. What is known as
THE aREENBACK PARTY
Is quite an important factor in
Ohio politics-their strength may
be placed at $4,000 votes. They
have had two conventions this
year; the first at Columbus, where
General Piatt, brother Of Don
Pistt, OF the Washington Capital,
was nominated for Governor; and
another an oftshOot Of the Column
bus Convention, held at Toledo,
where 10 nomination was made,
but the spirit of the resolutions was
recognized as favorable to General
Ewing. "If," continued Mr.. Say
Ter, General Ewing can draw off
tnr Of h.
Greenbackers, and at the same
time hold the hard-money Demo-
Gratis, think the chances of success
are excellent"
"But, Mr.. Sayler,n inteuected
the interviewer, "do you think u
man of General Ewing's pronounce
ed leapings toward soft money can
hold the hard. money Democrats?"
LAS against Foster, who Ia also
rather soft, / think he cam" was
the reply. Proceeding, Mr.. Sayler
said that on the financial question
| the Democrats were in favor of hav-
ing Greenbacks issued directly
from the Treasury instead Of by the
National Banks, aud also of per-
mittipg the unlimited issue Of sill
yer rs we'll as gold coin. The Re-
publicans were opposed to both of
these propositions. Being asked as
to what truth there was in the re-
port that Mr.. Pendleton was in
triguing to kill off Judge Thurman
as u candidate for the Presidency
before the Democratic Convention,
Mr.. Sayler replied that he consid.
cred 1t a pure fabrication, as any
such action was entirely foreign to
Mr., Pendleton's character. He
considered him as popular in Ohio
to-day as he ever was, and al
though he had not announced HIM
self rs a candidate for the Presi-
dency, he did not think he would
desire his friends to say that he
was not q candidate. Mr.. Sayler is
