WHY HoADLY is HAPPY.
Not Hilarious, But Mildly Happy, Be
cause Cleveland is Going TO
Carry Ohio

cause Cleveland is Going TO
Carry Ohio.
From the Boston Herald.
Governor George Hoadly, of Ohio, who
has been spending a few weeks in Maine,
passed through Boston yesterday.
''What is the political outlook in
Ohio?" asked the reporter
cit is my belief, F" answered the COVER
nor, that Ohio win go democratic by a
majority of not less than $1,000. The
majority may be greater, but l viii say
$4,000. SO that my estimate may not be
considered rash.'
How about the German vote in
Ohio?"
1t is divided, and has been in recent
campaigns. However, outside of the
large cities the Germans are for Cleve-
land this year. They have always had a
dislike for Mr. Blaine, and every year
more and more of them have come over
to the democratic side. The greater part
of them in the state at large will vote for
Cleveland and Hendricks. The leading
Germans are chiefly for the democratic
ticket and the most influential of the
German papers support it. Those which
have been in doubt are now coming
over to the democratic candidate. |
have now in mind the German paper at
Ironton, in Lawrence county. 1t has
lately come out strong for Cleveland and
win have a notable influence"
sit has been said, remarked the re-
porter, ''that the Irishmen of Ohio Were
boiling the democratic ticket in large
numbers"
''That is news to the people who live
there" said the governor There is
only one freshman in the state, to my
knowledge, who has come out for Blaine,
and he does so because he was not made
sheriff short time ago. He has no fol
lowing and can exert no influence.
''What is the situation in Indiana?"
''There is no doubt about Indiana.
The state is sure for Cleveland and Hen
bricks"
