Chances TO be Frightening.
Correspondence PhIla. Times ]
COLUMBUS, Sept. 5.--If the confidence
which both parties feel of success In the
present Gubernatorlal campaign may be
measured by their earnestness, political
hopes have never mounted higher. The
lival committees have been actively at worl,
ior month and every mail which leaves
this city bears great quantities OF campaign
documents. During the past week the
| Democratic executive committee has sent
out close to 10O, 900 pamphlets on the wool
tariff question and It is probable that AS
many more, either OF the same document OF
OF new ones on the same subject, will fol.
low as rapidly as clerical facilities will per.
init and names OF Republican farmers are
received at headquarters.
1t is noticeable, however, that party con-
| hdence finds very little expression, except
on the part of the Cincinnati Republican
press. Both committees are remarkably
| silent and have yet made no official claims,
while the individual committeeman, when
/ they allow themselves to speak, take care To
| back up their assertions with sufficiency OF
IFS. The absence of extravaganza is an un-
usual and agreeable feature OF Ohio cam
paigns. There is disposition TO let prob
abilities alone and TO make energetic work
the sole expression of political wishes and
anticipations.
THE GERMAN VOTE STICKING.
week ago the outlook from q Demo-
cratic point seemed In the highest degree
discouraging. The number OF respectable
names connected with the organized move
ment for third local ticket carried the con-
viction that nothing but disruption was pos
sible IN Cincinnati; and when it was an
nounced that an independent emocratic
ticket would surely be placed In the field
the most hopeful friends of Judge Hoadly
could not conceal their disheartenment
Within the last two or three days. how
ever, II has become certain that the regular
Democratic ticket is so strong with the Ger
mans and it, hackers SO powerful that new
ticket, however judiciously made up and
well endorsed, can have no prospect what
ever and viii, indeed, receive but very feeble
support. 1t is believed that many OF the
leaders of the bolt have reconsidered their
action and will, when the time comes to
make up the proposed new ticket, indorse
the regular nominees. The Duckworth
Club, Democratic organization composed
of the most influential members of
the party, and the Jefferson Club,
composed OF the highly respectable and in
dependent Democratic element, have given
their unanimous support to the Highland
House ticket. A week ago 1t was expected
LnaJ great many members OF the Duck
worth Club would retire from the organiZa-
ton in case it was determined to indorse Nc
Leans ticket, while the jefferson Club was
said to be unanimous in favor of independ
ent nominations.
In ClevelaI the outlook is said to be ex-
ceedingly bright for great majority for
Judge Hoadly. The local troubles which
distress Cincinnati Democrats are not shared
by their brothers on the lake; on the CON
trary, perfect organization and a very
strong local ticket give effective support to
the State candidates. At the same time the
large German element will not listen to Re
publican representations, but insists on
standing by the Democratic party the same
as last year. Here in Column us, the capital
Of the State, and city which has the same
doubtful status as CinciT natl and Cleveland,
l have talked with a great many Germans
and tind them very emphatic In opposition
to Mr.. Foraker.
The sickness Of Judge Hoadly is exceed
ingly unfortunate at the present time. There
is nothing so necessary to Democratic sue
cess as Judge Hoadly's personal presence in
the canvass. He is universally popular and
the most effective speaker that we have in
Ohio. His absence is sure to be miscon
strued. believe, however, that he will he
perfectly restored by she middle of the
month, when vigorous work during the re-
maindcr OF the campaign will make up for
the short time that he may lose.
