JUDGE FoLeER's FRIENDS.

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Governor
Hoadly, Of Ohio, who is here as counsel in
the Tennessee bond case, is advertised to
speak at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music
on Friday evening, and viii return to Ohio
in time to vote for Cleveland and Hendricks
on Tuesday following. Governor Hoadly is
the guest of Mr. r. l. Merrick, and says
that since his arrival here business and So
cial matters have almost precluded his
reading about politics. On matters in his
own State he says that never before was the
Democracy in Ohio so thoroughly organized
in every precinct and county and never be-
fore has it made such gallant fight for
victory.
Prospects in Ohio.
DO you think Ohio stands any chance Of
going Democratic at the next electiong
was asked by your correspondent.
Il only know" said the Governor, what
happened Immediately after the last cleo
lion. The State, county and precinct man
ayers assembled at Columbus and were so
largely represented that it encouraged the
plan TO at once renew the fight all along the
line You know that General Dudley's
theory was that if Ohio went Republican
in October the machinery and all its
methods could be moved into Indiana and
the State left to care tor itself in November.
Our theory is that as large is not larger
Democratic vote can be brought out in No
yembcr. The effort will at least serve as a
counter irritaut keep the questionable
methods out of Indiana aud give us fair
EghrHg chance TO carry the State.
Heretofore the experience has been that the
November vote in Presidential years has
been larger than on the State election. |
doubt very much whether the vote this year
viii be as large in November as at the re-
cent State election. Many, very many votes
were cast for the Republicans that can not
again be Polled. speak OF the class who
do things for a consideration. A great
many voted tor the Republican candidates
who will not vote for Blaine-tor we have
Independent Republicans in Ohio as well as
in New York. Then, it is fair to estimate
also that a goodly number think they have
done their whole duty IN giving Republican
prestige to the campaign. The Prohibition
vote for St. John will be very large.
\ Good Fighting Chance.
Il csndidly believe, and so do the united
aud enthusiastic Democratic managers in
Ohio believe, that We have good fighting
chance in the coming election. We have
increased our vote over forty thousand, and
say to you that in no State OF this Union
is the Democracy so vigorous as in Ohio
of course We have to calculate possible in
difference among our own people, or rather
the belief among some that it is useless now
to attempt to reverse the Republican plural
ity. 1t is that which our managers are in
dustriously working TO overcome, that the
truth may impel the entire mass to again
appear at the polls on November 1. We
shall have no more repetition of the scenes
enacted in Cincinnati and everywhere in
Ohio. l confidently count upon a peaceful
election"
