NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Suns Washing
ton special says: s"The Ohio Democrats
have como to an understanding, and unless
the present arrangement is broken, Gov
ernor Hoadly will be nominated by acclama-
ton and ex-senator Thurman will be re-
turned to the senate in case the legislature is
Democratic. There is good authority for
predicting that all factions in the party have
agreed to bury tho hatchet and to carry on
an aggressive and harmonious campaign.
"An movements in favor of Converse,
Geddes, Ward or others arc stopped. The
party will show united front and there is
every reason to believe that the full Demo
cratic vote will be polled and the state car
ried for the party's ticket
Information comes here that the Prohibi-
tion party never had so much money nor so
many good speakers as now, and that they
will cut into the republican vote to very
Samaging extent The efforts Of the repub-
icans to resurrect the bloody shirt have
fallen fat, and the only real danger to the
democrats lies in the wool question, in which
tho republicans will find q strong argument
in some sections Of the state
''Ths administration takes peculiar in
forest in the success of the party at the COM
ing election, as Ohio viii be the first state to
speak after the new regime began. No
great dissatisfaction exists in the state re-
specting the bestowal Of government patron
age and there is disposition on all sides to
bc friendly and to bring to the polls the full
varty strength"

torch in a very effective manner,
as he house was completely de-
stroyed before assistance arrived.
