THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
EX-Speaker Keifer Predicts Hot Fight and
Republican Success.

New l Ork Tribune.
Gen. J. Warren Keller, of Ohio, exSpeaker of
the House of Representatives, is at the Fifth
ave nue hotel Speaking of Ohio politics. he
said to a Tribune representative:
MY impression is that we are going to have
an interesting and winning campaign in Ohio
The Republi can party was never better as to all
its factions in Ohio than now. While it is true
that we have never had any divisions, in the
the large sense, between stalwartism and con-
servatism, yet it would be blindness to say that
we have had 10 factions We have had minor
factions, but they are all sunk out of sight at
present"
What about the Prohibition voter
81 think the policy Of the Prohibition party of
aggresslveness against the Republican party is
going to cut off wholly from the prohibi ton
movement the temperance people of the State
The attacks of the p rohibtionists are serving
to unite US by sending back the temperance
voters. The impression that there is to be
large prohibition vote is without good grounds"
ut is asserted by Prohibitionists here that the
entire Methodist Church membership of the
State is arrayed with themW
1.-The Methodist Church will resent in the most
heroic way the idea that because large proper
ton of Methodist preache rs have gone into pol
itics that they are obliged to follow the leader
ship thus assumed The recent prohibition
convention, which was held in my city, Spring
field, caused little furry among Republicans
over the State, but at the seat of the convention
we observed that It's only effect was to enrage
pubcans-temperance Republicans. The
claim that the 800, 900 votes cast tor the prohi-
bition amendment two years ago are prohibition
party votes and will be cast for the prohibition
ticket is absurd. There is no Prohibitionist in
Springfield or the State to-day who was not a
Prohibitionist when their convention met
How is the administration regarded"
1.-THE Democrats have at length discovered
that there are not offices enough to 90 round,
even if Mr.. Cleveland was ready to distribute
them. The rank and file have become disgrun-
tied for many reasons The civil-service reform
hypocrisy of the administration is now we'll
understood. 1t makes no friends for the Dem
ocratic party, either among Democrats or Re-
publicans. The claim of the right TO turn Re-
publicans out of Office because they are offensive
partisans and to put Democrats in because they
are inoffensive partisans brings the Democratic
party into disgrace"
How about the senatorship?"
IF John sherman wants to 90 to the Senate
again, Republican Legislature will send him
without any contest If he should decline it
would be an open question who would enter the
race. 1t is generally understood that John r.
Mclean is ambitious to secure Democratic
Legislature for himself. and that this will be the
objective point of the Enquirer's fight"

quite as much OF an authority abroad as at

business management of the Census Bureau was
abominable. Its affairs became terribly mixed

threatened to be buried in more scandal than
ever hung over the Agricultural Bureau, but
good political friends came to the rescue and the
sensation was averted. An investigation of the

were not granted any opportunity for expana-

days after Speucer's arrest, he, along With Crom-

quarter deck and at other points, while the
officers of the ship stood around with drawn and

everything was ready Spencer and his compan-

then Captain Mackenzie gave the signal, gun

Cleveland this afternoon in which the latter asks
the Governor to give himself no uneasiness in
regard to the Noyes affair." he 1.-THE Presidency
had not allowed the comments which were being
made on the affair to annoy him in the least.
The President referred to the fact that the
declination of Moves had been received, and as
an assurance that he had not lost faith in the
Governor he asked him to name another ReDub
lican in Ohio for the position, and one who, in
his judgment, would not be seriously objectona-
bic to the Democrats The Governor was highly
elated over the Presidents letter and its frank
ness, and remarked to friend that none other
than grand man of broad principles could
write such a letter
The Governor canvaSsed the prominent Repub

the Presidents letter and called in number of

compared with the hasty action when Moves was
named for the same place, and, as result Of the
conference the Governor telesraphed to Larner

he would accept the nomination for Governor,

This information was conveyed to Mr.. Converse

Grant-The Dying Hero.

His greatness hath not left him; till the years
Have called the Nation from her children dead,
Ard robbed her of remembrance while she rears
Her monuments above the blood they shed,
Wal his name want for homage; with sad fears
The Union winds her garlands DER his head,
And sweetly sends her love embalmed in tears,
To bless the hero on his dying bed.
His lustre lives untarnshed as he lies
Where malady has bound him in dull pain,
And only death can loose the heavy chain
That gals her captive till his nature dies,
He is far grander in his country's eyes
Than when wild music welcomed peace again.

AN EXECUTION AT SEA.
How Three Men Who Mutinied on Shipboard

John ". Davis, of Philadelphia, relating the
story of the execution of young Spencer to a
Philadelphia Times reporter, says: Il knew
Spencer, the midshpman well. He was a
wild, daredevil sort of fellow, about nineteen
years of age, but good natured, and not mali

the men was grave mistake, and, in looking
back at it low, 1 believe that it was foul muir

''Just about the close Of the war, when

ceived telegram from some one at Cairo,

the doctor, hoping TO get rid OF the annoy
ance and danger of so long trip. Name

quickly wired back So in due season the
the doctor started TO fill his engagement.
He was to speak on Friday evening, but
owing to several accidents common in
those days, he did not reach his destina-
tion till late Saturday night. He was
most cordially welcomed by the chair man
of the lecture committee whom he
found to be al enterprising sutler.
Apologizing for his nom appearance, he was
told that Monday night would do quite
as well. His host asked him if he could
not preach sermon on Sunday evening.
The Doctor said he would deliver one Of
his lectures on the Glory and Shame of
Language appropriate to the occasion.
To his astonishment he found Sunday
morning that he was advertised in an ex
ira bulletin to deliver his grandest and
most eloquent lecture that evening at 81
per ticket. He expostulated, but in vain.
He was told that he must keep his
promise.
Expecting to find small audience at
such large tariff he was surprised with
crowded house, and four Major Generals
ON a front seat. 1t was ali clear gain for
the sutler, who sold tickets ahead for the
regular lecture, and used the Sunday
night service to take in the army of con-
tractors, officers, and others, then throng-
ing Cairo, who were willing t. pay almost
any price for an evenings entertainment.
''They treated me like d prince" said
the Doctor, "but / never preached Sun
