speaking of the progress of the campaign
in Ohio, this morning says editorially: :

- A Brilliant one.
Every speech which he has made has
been something added to the political lit

kind OF metal he is made of, and given the
Democracy, and the people IN general, as
surapce of man who may be trusted.
Ohio needs such a man as Hoadly in the
Gubernatorial chair, and there is
No Longer any Doubt
of his election. If there ever were any SER

Ohio, they are closing up, and victory Is IN

WASHINGTON, August %. John G..
Thompson, of Ohio, who arrived here last
night frOm Columbus, takes comfortable
view of the campaign. He says everything

work will not commence until the middle

Speaking of the slurs east upon Judge
Hoad VS. ability as a campainer, Judge
Lawrence said to-day that Hoadly was a
man OF lsrge brain and great tact, but he

CINCINNATI, August 2S.-Tuesday an
Enquirer reporter, in collecting political
interviews, called on ex. x.Mayor Means who
is President of the Exchange National
Bank. That gentleman was exceedingly
busy, a meeting of directors being in ses-
sion, and declined to be interviewed. For
reasons best known to himself the reporter
made the following
Mention OF His Call:
g"William Means was found, but could
not be interviewed. Those who know him
intimately understand why without being
told" rt
TT is understood that the city editor re-
marked to the reporter, when the latter
handed in his copy without an interview
from Means, that they would hand him
one and make him talk. They succeeded
beyond their most sanguine expectations.
When Means saw the paper yesterday, he
was the maddest man IN town, and-wi
mad that -----.-..
Meant Business.
He called in friend, and sent by him
note to John R. Mclean, asking an expla-
nation. The reply showed McLean's in
difference. Just how many visits the
friend made is not known, but Means had
his pistol on hand in good order and it is
understood that Mclean at late hour last
night promised an editorial retraction
of the offensive insinuation in to.day's
paper, the ultimatum being an understand
ing that Means would shoot him on sight,
a determination which those knowing him
best have no doubt he would not hesitate
to carry out in case the retraction did not
appear as advertised. All
Necessity for BIOOdshed
was removed to day, however, by an edi-
torial in this mornings Enquirer, in which
Mclean takes it all back and calls it quare.
The article is as follows:

ferring 10 an interview with Mr.. William
