RepubIlcnn PoIllIcs ln ONO.

A prominent Ohio Republican
whoarrivcd in Washington Sunday
says there is no use trying To hide
the fact that there is u panic in
Republican circles in Ohio, and
that unless the panic settles down
tho State is sure 10 go Democratic
in October. He says the thing
that is giving the Republicans Of
Ohio the greatest trouble is that
the State committee has no money
to run the campaign, and SO far
has been unable TO raise any. He
says the actual truth is that the
committee has not enough money
to pay the postage on The letters
and other matter IL sends to the
county and district committees.
The leaders Of the party have been
appealed to but have not yet con.
tributed anything. He Guys fur.
Their that the Republican press Of
that State, headed by Murat Hui.
stead, have in the past eight years
said more severe things against
Blainethan the Democratic press.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
he says the people do not regard
the appeals now made in the Re.
publican papers in favor Of Blaine
as in earnest, and that If this feel.
ing does not Foon change it will
be all up with Blaine, for the Re
publicans will remain away from
the polls.
