GOSSIP ABOUT OHIO.

A Columbus special says that Cover
nor Hoadly has gone East to raise
campaign funds, as money is very
scarce out in Ohio and the party leaders
on both sides are at something of Il loss
10 know wherewithal their election
machinery is to be fabricated.
A Baltimore special of later date in
forms us that Mr.. Hoadly has arrived
in that city, but nothing is said rs to
the object of his mission, excepting
that the governor seems to be much
more interested in an electric motor
now operating on one of the suburban
railways than he is in politics.
Putting this and that together the
cursory observer of the situation might
infer that in the absence of other re-
sources on which to draw Governor
Hoadly is trying to make II raise on his
electric motor stock. But this would
be a crude and doubtless inaccurate
conclusion.
Governor Hoadly may be subject to
occasional fits of absent mindedness, as
was shown in his recent recommends
tion of General Noyes for a Presiden-.
tial appointment but we have great
faith in his sagacity as tactician. 1t
may be set down as certain that can
didate who left his party at the last
election, when it was in much sorer
straits than it is now, and came on to
Philadelphia to enjoy a refreshing sea

be elected by a majority that was an
astonisher to every Democrat in Ohio,

ward for nothing, or without fully un-
derstanding what he is about,
1t may be that he has an interest in
The electric motor at Baltimore, but
we may depend upon it that he has Il
larger interest at home and that he
is not leaving it uncared-for. At any
rate the Democrats who are looking
forward to the result in Ohio with CON
siderable solicitude all over the coun-
try, have no occasion to worry about
the Governors absence while, so far
as funds are concerned, there will be
no trouble on that score so long as the
opposition is troubled with the same
complaint
Besides, an electric motor is new
thing in politics and may work won
