enough 10 reverse my table. TO uy mind now
the odds are in favor of the Democrats as seven
is to three, and now for the reasons of my faith
First, l find here Democratic confidence
and its antithesis, Republican anxiety
and apprehension. The Democratic organi-
zetion Of the state is in good
hands, superbiy equipped, and directed with in
defatigeble industry It's work is as ceaseless
as it Is noiseless. It's movements are not her
aided with brass band accomplishments and garish
displays, but It's effective power is felt in every
nook and Granny in the commonwealth.
On the other hand, the Republicans are de-
pending solely for their salvation
on the presidential candidate. The
effects of the first circuit of the
presidential caravan, with its alleged
battery Of magnetism have been dissipated. The
curiosity Of the crowd has been surfeited, and
now on the return trip Of the hippodrome dis
may and CONSERVATION have seized the Repub-
llcan managers because, forsooth. Mr. Blaine,
with his shining lance and white plume, fails to
draw. In his first J5iangulation Of the state,
crowds followed in his wake, drawn
by the same curiosity which

clement in his movements than Mr. Blaine him

distinguished presence fails TO even call for ordi
nary interest or comment
TO still further discomfort the Republican can
vass, it Will be gratifying to the Democrats to be
told that the management is, in the hands OF the
yericst tyres. Mr.. OgilvCe, the chairman, is
hardly WoIthy of 4 sentence, save to say that he
Is constantly ratified and alarmed The state or
ganzatiOn has been siczed on by
imported talent, and Col. ". Dudley
and c. j. Filley have usurped its powers
These men have won some nOtoriety because of
their beng in the state of Indiana when Steve
Dorsey dyDauched it with s. bills. Both, how
ever, lack his powers Of organization and nerve. .
They satisfied IT,. through posing
and striking attitudes, they get the credit
Of being great. All of the real Republican
leaders in Ohio know of the weakness of the
state organization. Logan has openly denounced

Blaine, in his painful anxiety 10 succeed, has
been compelled to stay in Ohio to command and
direct the battle in person.

canvass, that Is, the Prohibition vote.

the Prohibition vote in Ohio has varied lately its

when the question of prohibition was submitted

vote, however, cast in its favor naturally will
