TIE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
Democrats Encouraged at Blafne's
Return 90 she state-A Glance
over the Field.

DR. ], II. Lambden OF the Philadelphia
7imas' editorial ataff, Is In olio, and
writes 90 follows concerning the situation;
Senator Cameron left this state and re-
turned home after he had been here less
than 48 hours. He left Harrisburg Tues
day week and was back there again on
Friday. II Ia now said that he Is going
south--that his health requires II. While
ia Ohio Senator Cameron did nothing to
help the Blaine campaign. II was q diff
fersnt sort Of visit from that which he
made TO Indiana four year ago. He
then dropped into indianapolis with
pockstful OF money, sat
down with Dorsey and Dudley aud New,
| the Republican managers there, aud gave
them points In the eight. His sugges
tions and the money which he took to
IodianA were OF the greatest use TO the
| Gsr6eld cause. Ga this trip 10 Ohio
Generous sole vista have been to his
relatives in Cleveland and TO his uncle,
John Sherman, at Maui I'D. de did not
come 10 Columbus to ese any OF the party
managers None OF the party managers
went TO MAun6eld to Gee him There was
no money in his visit. Dudley and
Pilley significantly smile In the remote
| .
coming to the state is spoken Of
UNCLE JOHN sHBRMAs's DISGUST.
| The senator doubtless got q great deal
Of news from his Uncle John. II Senator
Sherman told Senator Cameron what he
himself thinks II Is not surprising that
Senator Cameron has gone back. Senator
Sherman has no confidence IL the party
management here aud he resents the
interf renee Of outsiders. He Ia on the
s'nmp, but he has refused TO let the state
committee make his appointments or
have anything to do with his meetings.
he arranges Tor himself and Ia rs
generally disguised man as there Ia In
Ohio. He let Cameron return 10 Penn
sylvAnia In q condition OF uncertainty
about the result Of the elention on the
14th. Shermsn's public prediction is
that the Republican majority will not be
less than 10000.
The Democrats are very much enoour-
aged by the fact that Blaine finds II
necessary to spend another week In Ohio.
He had not originally intended TO do so.
The change Of programme plainly enough
evidences the Republican alarm. There
Is not much difference Of opinion between
the managers Of the two parties concern
ing the eifect Of Blaine's going up and
down the state. 1t does not make any
converts. When he was induced TO come
here the Republicans were worry uneasy,
because there were no signs OF life In the
CANVASS. No such torpidity 90 late
In the campaign Of an important year had
before been known. II was evident that
there were thousands Of voters without
interest enough In the strife to take q
hand In 1t and vote It was to arouse
the lsggArds that Blaine came here. BE
has succeeded In Q measure, although Il
Ia confessed by the Republicans them
selves that he has not sucoeeded TO the
extent expected. Had he done so he
would not have been required here
another week to the sacrifice Of his other
engagements.
BLAINE EXPECTING TWENTY THOUSAND.
The Republicans have found that while
Blaine has aroused their own voters TO Q
degree, hts visit has also had an enliven
ing effect upon the Democrats. The
Democratic managers at first had grea
fear Of the fleet OF Blaine's presence II
the state, hut throuSh their admirable
organization they have taken an aoooun
OF the damage and profess 10 and tina
they are quite as we'll of In every Beotioi
Where Blaine has been As they were befor

They would know almost instantly an,
,, change OF consequence that might b
made. They ooncede that, should th
Republic ms succeed In drumming out al
their reserves, they would have an exoes

II DRUMMING UP THR DRLiEQUENTs
:. Ooe can get all the individual opinion
and guesses he wants. They are wort
little. The Democrats are PARTICULAR
n careful 10 predicting or claiming an,

a Republican state 10 Presidential year

an state and will continue to do 80 up to Il

y generally are claiming all the way fro
ss 10000 to $4,000, with the average
w figuring at fifteen. Underneath II
,e figuring are some facts that they must q
a look at.
