GOSSIP OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Views Of Prominent Party Leaders of
the Effect Of the Ohio Election.
Local Democratic Dissatisfaction with Chair
man COyS Management-Th Canvass in
Marion CONTRIBUTES and Personals,

The "tidings of comfort and joy from Ohio
were the subject Of much happy comment among
the Republicans, yesterday, and the news had
a correspondingly depressing effect upon Demo
Gratis While they tried 20 make it appear that
the result was nothing less than they expected,
their disappointment was too apparent TO con
eeal, but there were some who were frank
enough to admit that the victory would have
decisive effect upon the November election.
Governor Porter, when asked, upon arriving at
his Office in the morning, what he thought of the
result, sad that he believed it would have the
effect to substantially settle the presidential
election if followed up by unremitting hard
work. SIT shows, he said chat the current is
with the Republicans, and that only overconi-
dence, which might cause relaxation of e1-
. ertion, is to be guarded against"
Chairman Henderson, of the Democratic State
committee, said that the result in Ohio would
have no effect outside of Ohio
Colonel James H. Rice the practical and
managing politician" of the Indiana Democrats,
thought that if Mr. Blaine had not visited Ohio
the State would have gone Democratic. "Blaine
rallied the Western Reserve Mr.. Rice said,
and brought out the full vote There probably
would, however, have been a full vote anyhow,
but his presence had the effect to rally the party
The result helps the Republicans, but it does not
have a decisive effect, by any means, in Indiana
We will carry this State and the fight will now
be here and in New York.
The serene composure Of the nervous organ
ization of Senator Mcdonald did not appear to
be affected in the least by the Democratic de-
feat. 1t was not his funeral When asked his
views upon the effect of the result he remarked
to reporter, well, it's a defeat, that's ALL
He was asked if he thought the result would
have been different if the Democratic national
convention had taken decided position in rela-
ton to the tariff question.
Il rather think So, Mr. Mcdonald answered.
I'VE got all the odium of free trade without any
of its benefits. This always falls upon those
whose conditions are uncertain L think we lost
the vote of the wool growers, but it is too early
to determin how much free trade cost us In the
manufacturing districts. The result in Ohio is
not surprise to me. The influences which
operated to our advantages two years ago have
not existed to any extent this campaign Ohio
is not usually a Republican State, and One super
human efforts put forth by the Republicans,
aided by their capdidates in the field, have pro
duced their legitimate results. While the result
in Ohio does not insure Republican success in
November in the national campaign,it is going
to make the contest very close one. Wei Indi-
ana will feel the influence of it, perhaps moro
than in any other State. Still feel very conf
dent that we will be able to hold our State to
the Democratic ticket"
Hon John NJ Butler expressed himself as
very well satisfied with the result He thought
Ohio would have given a Republican majority
even if Mr.. Blaine had not visited the State, but
it would have been quite small. His presence
was worth 10000 votes and the effect of the
victory is worth 5000 votes to the Republicans
in Indiana. THE victory Mr. Butler remarked,
"has opened the door to Blaine's success. Ohio
has virtually elected him The Democrats will
hereafter be either cross or disheartened, and
will be unable to get up large or enthusiastic
meetings while ours will grow steader, stimu-
lated by almost certain success. New York will
not be affected as much as Indiana. The tide
there has already set in strong for Blaine. and
believe that every day gives him 1000 addi-
tionaI votes in that State
There was an enthusiastic crowd about the
Republican headquarters during the morning,
and che opinion was generally expressed that
Indiana would give a Republican majority of
from 10000 TO $4,000
'@rHE MUSIC OF OHIO"
The following telegram was sent to Mr..
Blaine yesterday afternoon, by the Indiana
Republican committees
INpIsNAPoLIs Oct. Is.
To Hon. James G.. Blaine. Detro Mich;
The Republicans of Indiana tender their hearty
congratulations This state will keep step TO Che
music of Ohio. JNo 6. NEW. Chairman.
L. I. MIoHENER, Secretary.
THE DEMOCRATS DISSATISFIED WITH COY
attention to the management Of the Ohio can,
paign, has returned to find that things are going
wrong at home, and that he is about to lose his
grasp great managing politician. Consider
able dissatisfaction has been brewing in the
party with his management OF rather his mis-
management of the county campaign, and when
he was asked to call a meeting Of The
committee for a conference he refused to comply
with the request A few Of the party leaders
have, therefore, taken matters into their own
hands, and call has been circulated for meet
ing. It bears the signatures of several Of the
Democratic politicians. 1t is stated upon the
authority of one of the number that Mr.. Coy's
methods as chairman are intirely unsatisfactory,
and that while he will not be deposed, the
management of the county campaign will be
practically taken out Of his hands.

great attraction down town at the iollifcation
where Mr.. Peelle delivered q short address be-

and the meeting was very satisfactory in
every way.
