Interchange Of views upon the political stu
alton.
The work of the convention was very
freely discussed and there was but one opin,
ion expressed concerning it, and that was
that it was well done and would meet With
the hearty approval Of the Democracy oi
the State.
The new Executive Committee, which
viii have immediate charge of the cam
Psign, is composed Of vigorous and active
men, who will push the
Fight From the Word Go.
Its selection was entirely tree from the OBJ
,jsctions that we're 50 justly raised against
the mode OF selection last year, and conse-
guently il viii not be hsmpered with the Ill
feeling that sought no eonceslment, but
out continually during the cam.
aNgn. This viii &c worth 10000 votes this
-ssr
as. II is estimated By conservative politicians
y Of both parties that the vote viii fall oA 60 =
hsOO0 from the October vote oflSS4. Repub-
Eeans content themselves with the opinion
that the falling of will be about evenly di-
yided between the two parties, and that the
Prohibitionists will not show any increase
up, their last vote.
Bu' the probabilities sll point to the heav-
lest falling of on the Republican side and
the doubling OF the Prohibition vote. That
the Democratic ticket will be- elected by
10000 majority or over, is a very ressons-
tie probability, all things considered.
Hoadly's speech.
The Republican papers are very bitter
upon the speech of Gov. Hoadly at the rat
i6cation meeting. The Governor handled
Yshe Republican candidate and platform
Z without gloves, and his speech was so incl
Siye and so logical that it set them to howl
ing sll along the line They are unsni-
nous in the declaration that this speech
issss one Of Hoadly's greatest blunders.
He will keep right along making such
,,slnders during the whole campaign and
,.he people will testify their appreciation Of
them By triumphantly electing him.
Gov. Hosdly's proposition to meet both
gLeonsrd snd Foraker on the stump in a
threeeoruered debate, 80 that the people
shall understand the exact position of all
three of the parties is well received, and if
!, h opponents viii accept it, We viii have
one Of the hvelisst campaigns that has been
J. made on State issues tor years. But For
Aker viii dodge. The Republican party
Does Not Dare
TO make q campaign on clearly defined is
sues. Their only chance is TO befog the
! issues and mislead the masses Of the Re
publican party with delusions and bloody
shirt clap Trap Foraker himself knows that
joint discussion as proposed would mean
defeat.
The sction Of the Republican Central
Committee in naming Wm. T. Spear, of
\ Warren county, for the vacant judgeshiP is
far from satisfactory TO the friends OF the
other and more prominent candidates. He
was pledged in advance to affirm the valid
ity Of any unconstitutional liquor legisla-
ton that might be enacted. That was
made the prerequisite Of a nomination.
