EThe Prospects IN Ohio.
New YORK, Oct. 81 met, recently, Mr..
Clarke Irvine, the head of the Democratic
State committee of Ohio. That pleasant
faced young man said as follows about the
state campaign:
Il think there is very little doubt that
we shall carry Ohio. Gov. Foster, who is
not disposed to give many points in poll
tics, shows some alarm. The Republicans
made great mistake in taking up the
liquor question. 1t was not necessary for
them to do so, but they were pestered by
the Prohibition people, and they jumped
to the conclusion that, although they
might lose some German Republican votes,
they would make up the difference in the
temperance Democrats. They have been
utterly disappointed in that. Very few
Democrats have gone over to the temper
ance question, but the whole quota is now
well known. They got mere sprinkling
of Democratic support on the state ticket,
and lost some 10000 to 10000 votes in the
most important Places
inquired where those votes came from
that the Republicans were getting from
the Democrats.
'Well, they come from small hamlets,
where, by the present freedom of license,
some unworthy person may have started a
saloon and some disorder may have existed
around it. Under our constitution it is
not permissible for local government to
license or tax saloon. The courts have
settled it that any man can go into the
liquor business. But that sort of indigna-
ton does not influence voters in the large
towns"
Mr.. Irvine being called into another por-
ton of the room, asked his companion,
Mr.. O'Key, think, who is from Columbus,
whether he took the same view of the stu
alton.
II think, without any question" said he.
shat the Democrats will elect their state
ticket by very considerable majority. 1
think, also, that we shall make remarkable
gains in the congressional delegation, and,
perhaps, have one-half of the entire con-
gressmen. don't apprehend we will car
~ both congressman in the city of Cleye-
land. Mr.. Everett, the Republican, who is
running there, is quite popular man, and
has run ahead of his ticket in previous
campaigns, and in one fight was openly
supported by Mr.. Armstrong, editor of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Armstrong has
been beaten for the nomination in his dis
men we had there was Waldemar Otis, who
was at one time the Democratic mayor of
Cleveland. It was urged, however, that
when Gen. Garfield was. nominated for
president Otis sent his check for $1,000.
having personal friendship for Garfield.
This was spoken of against Otis nomina-
ton with some effect'
The same gentleman said: "While it is
generally said that the two Cincinnati dis
tricts will be carried by the Democrats,
there is reasonable doubt about it. Mr..
Butterworth, one of the Republican candi-
dates. is remarkable campaigner, and
lets the grass grow under his feet less than
any man we have in the state. The other
candidate of the Republicans in Cincin-
natl, Mr.. A. Smith, was opposed to the leg

and went to the legislature to protest
against it. This fact is we'll known among
the Germans, and it may save him.

to elect your state ticket and increase your
congressional delegation?"
''Undoubtedly," was the reply. ''The Of
6cers to be voted for on the state ticket
this year are not of great consequence,
and though we carry the state we shall not
get any great physical advantage at pres

''Does the fight between the federal ad-
ministration and the Garfield men absorb
much attention in Ohio?''
mo; nothing like it does in New York
state. A year hence that conflict may ex-
tend to Ohio, but in the last election. when
Foster was nominated, the Republicans in
our state expressed themselves so salts
factorily to the sympathy for Garfield that
the present disturbance in the party has
not marked the campaign
1 inquired if the senatorial question
came up at all in the present democratic
caucuses.
No. was the reply.
WELL" said I, suppose you would have
an election for senator this year would
Pendleton get his seat again?"
"Unquestionably."
''Don't you suppose that Judge Thur
man might divide the legislature with
Pendleton?''
mo. The understanding is that Thur
man is for the time being out of politics,
and rather supports Pendleton. There
has been some talk of Judge Payne, of
Cleveland, cumming for senator, but we
cannot trace it to anything reliable''
I'VE are glad" said the gentleman, s'that
the fight over the tariff is being made this
year. for it will certainly come up and
have to be fought by us in the presidsn-
