Baltimore sun.
Senator Bayard Ia very ssneuine as to
Democratic prospects In Ohio. In con-
versation he said the demonstration in
Columbus on the 18th Of septeml or was
one Of the moat remarkable political
& Athsrjngs he had ever Witnessed. Rsti-
mates OF the number Of people present
varied from 5000 to 100000 There
we're vice presidents on the stand from
SORES Of counties, and people were present
from all over the state. All factional differ
ences seemed to have bsen reconciled,
AND Thurman, Pendleton, Hoadly, Payne,
pIrbtn Ward and other prominent lead
ers were working shoulder to shoulder
for the common cause. In his Journey
through Ohio he frequently heard tie
stA,',r-eut that the people were running
the campaign to suit themselves, and
for oncs, at any rate, the iesisrs were
compelled to sink all personal differences
and to follow the popular lead. All the
conditions which contributed to ths cleo
tion Of Governor Hvadly last fall ap-

and, supsrsdded to these, were the OBJ.
lection OF Germans to sumptusry laws
and the discomfort among the
laboring men, which cannot fail to help
the Democrats. These quantities in the
campaign are yet uaknoWn, but his own
opinion vGs that they would prove to be-
formidable.
He did not think that Mr.. Blsine had
accomplished much BY rRising the pro-
lection cry In Ohio. Protection there, as
elsewhere, ia on the defensive, and the
misery and distress OF thousands OF
lsborers out OF work are more eloquent
than all the speoious Arguments which
Mr.. Blaine had been able TO advanos.
Mr.. BAyard evidently regards the
Butler movement a. introducing an
element OF uncertainty into the canvass.
The appeals Of corrupt aud demAgoRical
leaders, he said, wonld have some ffsot
with the extreme element among the
Irish, but he had not for some Tins past
regarded that element as really formid
able and genuinely democratic. He was
satisfied that II the American people
could be convinced that Mr.. Blaiue really
Intended to pursue a policy likely 20
embroil this country with England
| Ut huJ Otntf foreign power, he
would be defeated by such a
majority as would utterly ouerwhelm the
extreme vote as we'll as the jobbers who
hope to profit by foreign entanglements.
Ia his opinion Mr.. Blaine was either moi
sincere in his professions of friend hip
Of thu Irish and the alleged determine.
tlon TO twist The British lions tail, or, II
be actually meant to pursue such a
policy, it wa with the view OF catering
u the interest Of SPECTATORS and jobbers,

Baysrd did mot believe the great honest
Itish vote could be deluded or seduced
by such transparent dodge.
On the other hand he had little doubt
that the business interests of the country
are becoming seriously alarmed by the
fear that il elected President Mr.. Blaine
would be quite capable Of embroiling this
country, which is totally unprepared fol-
war with any foreign power, with some
one of it's commercial allies, for the sake
OF sensationAlism and little cheAp
glory, and TO serve the selfish speculative
interests Of himself and his friends.
