NEw YonK, September 29-Politicians
Of both parties here are looking forward
with increasing interest to the contest i'll
Ohio. The Democratic leaders have given
up their earlier plans Of claiming the State
and have begun what their opponents
deem much more significant course by
adopting the old. !Tildeni method Of a still
hunt. The adoption OF this couls Sc is said
10 have been the direct result OF recent
visit OF Mr.. John 4. Mclean, OF Cincinna-
Il, who is said to have become disguste.l
with the management Of affairs on the
part OF the Democratic councillors in lis
native State, who heretofore have been
his personal enemies. Meanwhile the Re-
publicans are putting forth their very
strongest efforts in, the October State, and
the result has been constantly incrcas-
ing tide for Republican success 2+-i

certainly seem brighter than ever before.

series OF ovations which marked his tri-
umphant journey across the State, like the
brilliant stars Of q constellation, has done
more for Republican success than any
thing which could have been thought Of"
"What do you think OF the outlook in
Ohio 2" 80
II can tell more about that when get
there, but all the indications are that Ohio
will give 4 rousing majority in October
and double it in November. Mr.. Blaine's
visit, from what hear, has already done
great deal toward success, and believe
his visit will result in the polling OF at
least 10000 more Republican votes than
would have otherwise been done"
