[From Gov Cameron's interview with N. Y TIMES
reporter two weeks before election ]
In conversation this morning Gov Cam
eron said he had no objection, now that he
had informed himself by an industrious
canvass of the State, to state what he ex-
rected the readjusters will accomplish
mr. 10 th0nOht CffAct16
| the results of the Ohio election. or by the
| decision of the supreme court in the civil
rights cases. He bad not heard these sub
| jects alluded to in all his campaigning. LAS
have said before to yOu," he said, "tbe
| coalitionisis will substantially repeat their
victory of 1881. To be more definite, l
will give you brief outline of what our
friends may expect to hear about US on the
day after election. In the first congress
sional district we shall carry every county
that we did in 1881. That will give US
clear gain of Two members in the lower
house. In the second district (Dt zepdorf's)
we carried in 1881 every county and every
city except Portsmouth. We shall do the
same now. In the third district (Rich-
mond) Ne shall carry everything we car
ried In 1881, gain one member of the low
Ell house, and have fair chance Of
securing the only doubtful senatorial con-
test in the district, that between Wickham
ard Jones.
''In the fourth district from which
Gov Cameron comes, J In which l carried
every town and county-and every pre-
cnct, | might add-we will repeat our for
mer triumph, which will involve the de-
feat of Senator Williams, who is known
in our State as one of the Big Four In
the fifth district we shall lose one county
: carried for me in 1881, and carry smother
in which we did not win, and which elects
} two members of the lower house. We
shall also regain the senatorial district
then carried off by Senator Hale, another
one of the Big Four who in the last ses-
sion opposed readjuster measures. In the
sixth district. where we only carried three
l counties in 1881. we shall hold our own,
repeating the results uf that year. In the
seventh district (Paul's) we may lose one
county that we carried in 1881, and will
carry every county but one, in which we
shall lose one delegate. In the eighth dis
trict we shall probably lose one delegate,
but the chances are that we shall also gain
two, making net gain of one. In the
ninth district we shall carry every county
that we carried ia 1881, except Washing
ton, Fulkerson' s county, in which there
is a close contest.
Looking at the situation from my
point of view, would say that the result
will be that we shall gain the senate by
a good working majority, and the house
by majority of not less than II. The
popular majority in the State will be
about 10000. Last year we carried the
State by about 5000 majority"
