Congressman Kiefer says: "Ohio
is safe for the Republican candidates.
l have never before seen so much
enthusiasm among all classes so early
in the campaign. The people have
organized without waiting for the
signal from the regular Committee. I
have seen no detection, and think our
vote will be very largely added to-.
The working men are receiving good
wages now and business men are pros
pering. 1 think that Ohio is good for
25,0 900 majority. We shall gain in the
Congressional districts. There is no
doubt that we shall carry twelve, and
probably fourteen, of these.n
Cleveland Herald: "The Ohio
Democrats, especially Congressional
candidates, appear to have swooped
down upon the Democratic Committee
in New York for the much-needed
bar'l. That sent to the game cock by
the buzzard was only full of soft soap
according to Mast, and there's no use
looking to the Shylocll of Indiana for
aid. He would not even give them
the ninety-nine cents contributed in
California toward reimbursing him
the dollar he contributed to burnt out
Chicago. So they have applied to the
Belmonts and other Democratic
bloated bondholders in New York for
the wherewithall, and are outdoing
Munchausen in promises of what they
will do to the Republicans if the bar'l
is forthcoming.
milwaukee, Sentinel: Apparently
the only way to drop sectionalism in
politics is to give the South what it
wants and call the policy ofthe South
ern leaders noble policy. However
disposed the North may be to drop the
sectional issue there is no other way to
do it. Wade Hampton says, of the
principles of the Democratic party:
Consider what Lee and Jackson
would do were they alive. These are
the same principles for which they
fought for four years. Remember the
men who poured forth their blood ON
Nirginia's soil, and do not abandon
them now. Remember that upon
your vote depends the success of the
Democratic ticket. You see that the
Southern leaders are by no means
willing to drop the sectional issue, but
appeal to the eX-rebels to vote. as they
shot-with the Democratic party fol
