COLUMBUS, oct. 11.-Gov. Hoady, in an in
terview, expresses satisfaction with the situation
and Democratic prospects. lie said: Figures
show that where the majority in the great Re
publican strongholds has remained at a stand
still or has actually decreased the ratio of in
crease in the Democratic strongholds
has been fifty and in some instances
sevcnty-ive per cent. The German vote has
been gradually coming over to us OF late years
To-day outside the cities OF Cincinnati and
Cleveland there are ten Germans voting with us
to one against us.
''Why do you except those two cites?'
"Because there the power of the press mill
tates against us. In Cincinnati, for instance,
two OF the four German dailies,
and one Of them is very able,
Republicans. The principal influence il our
favor, however, has been the prohibition tenden
cies of the Republican party. Perhaps / might
better define 1t the Interference policy OF the
Republican party. IL is socialism-socialism for
the benefit OF the rich. 1t is like their tariff
system. Protection for the sake OF protection
In n rough way, men may
be classified under two heads
the disciples Of acknowledgements who ad-
here TO the miud-y our-owu- business nation-and
the llamiltonians, Republicans-who think
the government (that is thcmselves) capable of
minding other peoples business better than they
themselves. This interference or protective
habit of the Republicans, is working that party
in constant danger aud yet it imparts to it all
the vigor it has
'on what grounds do you think the Repu Bill
cans claim the statc?'
''They can't afford in advance 10 acknowledge
themselves beaten, you know, and and yet their
modest claim OF 10000 and 10, 900 majority is a
virtual confession OF weakness. II the presence
of Mr.. Blaine, and an unlimited supply Of
money, together with other favorable causes .
will give them no greater majority than that In
the state which gave Garfield IS, 900 four years
ago, you will begin TO see that our conclusions
are correct"
''Do you think Mr.. Blaine's presence in Ohio
has benefited the psrtys"
'Idoubt it. Where il has created Republican
enthusiasm on the one hand, and in some in
stances stinened up the weak-knee it
has the counter effect OF arousina
our people TO more vigorous and concerted ac-
ton. In my judgment Mr.. Blaine has made a
mistake in his tour through Ohio. lie seems TO
have visited those places tina; were most essy of
sccess without regard to political considerations
OF an important character, for example,
bull, Geauga. Megs and Gallia, where the
vote was not fully drawn out LAST year. and
where his presence would have helped his party
more, in my opinion, than in Stark and many
other parts or the state he has visited"
What do yor say OF the Prohibition and
Greenback voter"
1t is hard to tell, but win be larger than
last year, and concerning the latter, 1
do not fix it At over 5000
or 5000. II is likely TO be larger this year on
account Of the strikes in the Hooking valley and
elsewhere. am told that many OF the miners,
who are angry at the syndicate but who viii not
support Cleveland, viii vote FOR Butter. inag-
Inc that MS principal element Of strength viii be
drawn from that source
"rhe strike has injured the.Repablicanss~
"Why not. The party in power is always
acid responsible in cases OF great comereial de-
preston. 20 you think the miners and other
men in the Hooking valley region. who are pen
ntess and out OF work, viii prove an exceptions
Dat Of thirteen blast furnaces only two keen
their fires burning. The majority OF these men.
probably three-6tihs, are Republicans. Many Of
them have felt the state.
