C,ryFLANp, Ohio, Sept. 24.-Only sixteen
A., ,eman before the Ohio election. Thus far the
esmna,en has been peculiar one The Republi-
sars have not been without hope from the first.
.t,.r the nominations at Columbus the Democrats
sore more than confident of victory. The outlook
hogan to change. The hopes OF the Republicans
crew stronger not only from their own Efforts but
rr,n the mistakes and folly of the Democratic man
.oer. The Democracy of 0hio-that IS the old
"Dckr Bishop Democracy-the Democracy OF the
Tnurmaus the Pendetons, the Wards and the other
olacr LEADERS, was forced into the background IN
the present campaign. and new and inexperienced
hands took hold of the Democratic machine.
An old family friend of Judge Hoady. who visits
che family at Cincinnati, who has known Judge
Uoadly from boyhood. who is acquainted with the
man in every particular, spent several hours with
him inst prior TO his departure in search of health
met this friend of Hoadly's yesterday. There IS
no use in denying the fact" said he; 'poor George
Hoadly is sick of the Democratic party in ONO
hiring nv conversation with him before he left for
Philadelphia he said he was very sorry he had ever
been nominated, and that he would gladly with
draw if such thing were possible. de SAID that
he had hoped the Democratic party of Ohio would
have worked harmoniously for his election and for
q marty victory Instead of this there had been
nothing but petty quarrels. "bosslsm" by ambitious
ofice-seekers and discord among the members OF
the party generally. This was what Judge HoadiY
SAID He told me further that he was in such a
posltion that he could not turn back, that he was
bound hand and foot, and intimated that he was IN
the power of John r. Mclean and could not even
call his body and soul his own"
DEMOCRATIC DIssESsIoSs.

Farley, Mclean and their gangs have strangled
Hoadlys chances for election. They have ruined
the Democratic party in Ohio, have caused dlssen-
SION that cannot be reconciled have made mistakes
that can never be corrected. In the meantime the
Republicans have pursued quiet, steady plan III
the campaigu. and will elect their ticket. There
are thousands of Democrats in Ohio VINO swear
that If Hoady Is defeated this fall they will leave
The marty forever. Some of these dsheartened fol-
lowers of Thomas Jefferson claim that the party
il no longer a party that Democratic ruffans
have taken hold of the management OF the
campaign. and have ruined the Democracy OF Ohio
merely by their personal ambitions. They claim
that the party has been made one of spols, chan
mel for money making instead OF a legltlmate 20
btical organization. No one better sums up tae
condition of the fighting among the Ohio Democrats
than Ben" Butler. who says that the quarrels oil

after the party went out of existence.
