Sides.
FosAKERs POWERS OF ENDURANCE
Judge HOadly's Speech at Cleveland Mon.
day Evening Listened to by Thous-
ands-What the Prohib-
itionists Have Done.

CINC NNATr October 2-In the campaign
which will close this week in Ohio the can
vass by both parties has been extremely
thorough. 1t began late practically on
September l, although both candidates for
Governor, within a fortnight after their
nomination, made speeches at ratification
meetings and local conventions all over
the State before the beginRing of the real
tight Both parties have about an equal
number of speakers in the field under the
command of their State central commit
tees. On each side not fewer than fifty or
sixty speakers were enlisted, Of whom one
half have been in constant service since.
Both sides have engaged strong men from
outside of the State.
On the Democratic side Hoadly was
placed out of the fight during the Septem-
Der battle by his too eager energy in
The SkirmIsh Before the Fight,
Senator Pendleton and General Durbin
Ward pitched into the fight early and have
stuck closely to 1t. A feature in Pendle-
tons movements worthy of mention is the
oyations he has received on the way be-
tween appointments by people meeting
him and calling him out at railway sta
tiOns. Thurman's health has not been
good and he came out late. The Hon.
William S. Groesbeck made his civil SER
vice speech early in August. george w.
Geddes, Frank Hurd General Rice and
number Of other Congressman and eX-
Congressman have been TO the front in the
fight. FOran, of Cleveland, talked to the
wOrkingmen, and ex Lieutenant Governor
Mueller, with Emil Rochester, Of Chicago,
spoke to
The German Element.
Other States are to send in Randall aud
Doolittle, aid A. n. Wood and Mcdonald,
OF Indiana, who has already spoken at
Hamilton.
On the Republican side Judge Foraker
has shown great powers of endurance. 1t
is claimed that by the close of the cam
paign Judge Foraker will have spoken in
every county in the State but six. Sher-
man has been everywhere, day in and day
out Noyes, Foster, Comptroller Lawrence,
kiefer, West and small army OF Congress
men and ex Congressman have also been
active.
ON all sides by both parties and by the
Second Amendment party whose recruits
are from both great parties in formidable
numbers, very thorough, industrious local
work has been done through speakers and
by tie
Circulation of Documents.
In this department of the campaign work
the Second Amendment element have had
the decided advantages Of being homogen-
eous and of having organized at their hand
the churches with their ministry all eager
for work, and with having commenced
early in the campaign.
They have had under control of a central
committee fifty strong speakers in the
field. Besides these forces they have aux
lliaries in temperances societies Christian
unions and the like, representing innu-
merable speakers. Their work has per-
meated the entire State, city and county,
and the cOolest'headed men among them
are now sanguine of carrying that amend
mPnt. II reads as follows:
The manufacture of and traffic in
Intoxicating Liquors
TO be used as a beverage are forever pro-
hibIted, and the General Assembly shall
provide by law for the enforcement Of this
provision.
A large, very large, number Of the
Prohibition voters-the moderate ones
will vote their usual party ticket, Demo-
cratic or Republican, and devote their en-
ergies 20 the passage Of this amendment.
The Prohibition party eXcltes less interest
than do the factions of the Hamilton coun-
ty Democracy, which have been given over

arranged to have
Women at the Polls
sll over the Stale with coffee and sandwich
es, except in the great cities, and some
Leaf ing tenn persnce women are urging that
they be included. They have also arranged
to supply tickets everywhere in the State.
In tie cities, notably Cincinnati, both
the Democratic and executive committees
have agreed TO print their tickets 80 as to
