"The prospects are most encouraging for
Republican success in Ohio this FALL" he
said. "The Republicans are in splendid
fighting trim, and were never so free from
internal dissensions as they are this year.
AZ to.the German vote, a German Catholic

know that l ever saw one. The saloon
keeping Germans have been against US for
years, and believe We will get as many
votes Of 6ermans artnoti, n The liquor
business as we have in previous years. The
Importance OF the German defedioRa BY
8hich term it Is described, in D D4moetatic
papers, Is greatly Exaggerated and Over 'es-
timated. The detection is imaginary in
great part. There are twenty-five thousand
more. Republicans than Democrats in
Ohio. This has been proved whenever
there has been full OF the people. Last
year rs, 900 Republicans stayed away from
the polls They will vote this TALL. Judge
Foraker and the Republican ticket will poll
the full party strength, and that will elect

"That was Garfield sentiment or senti-
mentality, Isuppose?"
POSSIBLY. And right here want to say
that the ill-feeling which has sometimes
manifested itself amoy g Ohio Republicans
against President Arthur has entirely dis.
appeared. There has been a complete re-
yikion Of sentiment throughout the State,
and to day President Arthur basthe esteem
and respect Of every Republican in Ohio.
That is one great element Of strength" i

"sple1didly. He Was a private soldier,
and is recognized, as a, man Of sterling
worth. He is a broad gauge man, and
people like him. He is unobi isctionabIe to

aWhat about Hoadly?' i
"He is peculiarly situated. He is not
the choice Of twenty per cent. OF the
Democrats Of the State, and he Obtained
his nomination by the profuse expendi-
ture OF money. BY his own admission his
nomination cost him $4,000 He says
Johnny Mclean cost SIS, 600 Of this sum.
Hoadly's methods before and since the
convention have been decidedly Tildenish,
Il may be allowed the expression. He
worked up the convention for month";
Aleck Sands, q notorious lobbyist, was in
his employ all last winter. Sands was in
Columbus through the session Of the
Legislature, fixing things for Hoadly. 1t is
now. pretty generally understood that
Dave Paige fixed heInorthern part, and
Aleck Sands the southern part OF the
State for the Judge. Hoadly's methods
were offensive TO the Democrats
and the man Is offensive to them. He has
been victim Of an unfortunate combina.

has opened his mouth he has put his foot
in It, and his mouth has been open most Of
the time since the Columbus convention,
where votes were bought for him in the
open market, and with shameless elfront-
cry. His unlucky remarks about New
Democracy only intensified the rancor OF
the old Democrats, and made them hate
him worse. He Is frying TO mend ghis

overlook mistakes, but they will not for
