OoLuMnus, o., Oct ee3.-To-day witness
ed great gathering Of Democrats from
every part Of tho State to decide upon {
plan, for the remainder OF the campaign
Telegrams had been sent out to committee
men and prominent Democrats all over
the State and Chalrmen Of Committees
aud delegates were present from sixty-one
counties. BY agreement between tic two
factions, who now seem to DO working to.
fgether in spite Of their recent difficulties,
two meetings were held. The Mossbacks
met ut Thompson's headquarters on Soutl,
High street, while the Coal Oil crowd met
IN the Governors private office. This Is
the hrst time such IN meeting was ever
held in the State House, but the Demo.
Gratis have turned the whole building into
political headquarters, using the rooms
tor club rooms and for meetings Of glee
clubs. s57gt tst5i.J,5- jijjlf''Ji .! n
THE MEETING IN THE GOVERNORS, OFFICE
was the principal event. It was here TINT
the schairmen and county delegations as
scmbled. About three hundred OF the
unterri6ed were present, crowding the
room to its utmost capacity. Senator
Williams and Ex-Governor Mueller were
there from Cleveland as representatives Of
the Faynes. A few reporters had venturel
in, but they were promptly elected with.
the exception OF ono or two, whose pro-
cliviies are Democratic. During tho even
ing, however, in spite Of their attempts TO
keep 1t secret, great deal Of information
leaked out Chairman iBargar called the
meeting to order and introduced Judge
Geddcs@ as Chairman Of the meeting. In
his speech of introduction Bargar said that
the object Of the meeting was not to con-
sider what position they should take on
the tariff question, ttu scott Law or any
other campaign issue, but to consider by
what means they could give the Republi.
cans most trouble in November. He ad-
yiscdS that the battle cry should be, 4
Fraud, corruption and intimidation bv
United States Marshals."4IHe said the
Republicans copsideredaO Ohio already won.
They were overcontldent, and II the
Democrats made o qni,t, organized fight
they could take them OF their guard and
carry the State. Judge Geddes made a
speech Oh taking tho chair, and was fol-
LEVIED by ]. T, Follett, Congressman-elpct
Anderson, Secretary Newman, Senator
Williams and others. 4 q; Z, :; 4 &

EAsa' result Of the meeting it was was re-
solved to make d vigorous fight all over
the State and strain every nerve to win.
They resolved ION q complete change of
tactics. Heretofore III Presidential yems
they have been accustomed to give up the
fight after the Republicans! had carried the
Shte in October. Now they: claim tho
Republicans are out OF money und haveal-
lowed their organiza.ioni TO become lax,
and will thus fall an easy prey to deter
mined and systematic, onslaught. They
are sending out their speakers TO every
school district in the State, and intend to
make the fight principally. in the rural
districts, where they expect a recital of
the frand in the cities and stories ofintim-
fidation by United States Marshals; and
other campaign lies 10 have great effect.
They have been for the past week holding
secret meetings in. every county in the
State at which only, known Democrats
haverbcen present. Tho following. is a
sample OF the many letters rcceiycda at Re-
publican headquarters and tS,illustrates

TO John z. 0y'eret, Chairman
DEAnSiR: The Democrats nre making
the greatest effort Of their lives right now
in this part OF Ohio. They have sent for
two Democrats to come from st. Louis
and one from Michigan to .yotoand they
nre betting money like dirt that Ohio will
SO Democratic. They arc running all over
the country after'night. Last night thev
held a meeting Mt Il school house in the |
most remote part Of the township, and
had doorkeepcr 50 that no Republican
could gain admittancc. Half the Demo-
cratic County Committee were there, and !
they were in session three hours and not |
a speech was made by anyone. 1 It was a !
secret Itconclavetl Of Bourbon Democrats
throughout The whole evening, and they !
went away, as secretly as they. came.T I |
believe they will make q greater effort in
the back counties Of the State than they
will in the cities, and twill take harder
work upon our part to. get out our vote
than it did at the October election. We |
must make our greatest effort now, for the |
danger is that, now the October election
is over, our people will become lukewarm !
and settled down as II we were toIhave'no
election in November, 9qsfH va ,7s'..

K Never was the need for Republican
.watchfulncss and activity in this State SO
great as atpresent. The great danger is
that the voters will grow careless attertho
splendid victory Of Inst week and consider
the battle already wotl.d. The Democratic
managers are united and arc thoroughly
in nearnest and talk with confidence OF car
rying the State. If, however, tho Repub.
;licans are equally united and energetic
Ohio will roll up u majority for Blaine and
Logan such as she gave her own Garfield
