CLEVELAND, March 23.-Gov. Begole, o
Michigan, being in Cleveland, said yesterday
concerning Michigan politics: Personally
am strongly In favor of Bon Butler. hav,
talked with great many democrats ant
members of my own party, and Ben Butler
will receive the support of the Michigan
delegates. With Ben Butler we can carry
Michigan and reach the white bous'
without the assistance of Ohio. Not but tina
it is essential to carry Ohio to make success
doubly sure, but if the democratic party
should lose the Buckeye state everything il
not lost by any means. The demoortic party
in my opinion, finds itself in this position
although every effortshould be made to carr,
Ohio still the party can eloot it's p,osiden
without it. The republicans must carr.
Ohio to have any chance at all: The fusion
lists In Michigan will support the democrati
nominee yor the presidency"
