Two weeks ago no one had an
idea that Gov. Hill would en-
counter any respectable opposi-
ton to denomination. EX-Mayor
Grace's lively illumination aimed
at the Governors record has put
a spice into the canvass, and set
tongues TO wagging freely. The
Mugwamps tried hard to beat
Hill for Governor three years
ago, but they were badly left.
Now they are bending all their
energies to prevent his re-nomr-
nation and are endeavoring to
make it appear that they repres-
ent the wishes of the President.
1t will take very brisk work
though, on the part OF the oppo-
sition, to snatch the prize from
him at this stage of the game.
The storm cloud which has
been threatening the County
Democracy for some time has
burst at last, and one of the
Oldest chleftalns now finds him
self outside of the fold. He IS
Fire Commissioner Purroy, who
has successlvely coquetted with
Tammany, Irving Hall the
"Counties'' and about every
other political organization which
has sprung up from time to time
in local politics for twenty-five
years. He is out in a bill of
grievances against the manage
ment of the County Democracy
and thTeatens to start little
organization of his own. Tho
County leaders insist that the
DETECTION does not amount to a
row of pins. 1t may add a few
hundred votes to the Tammany
strength, but all the votes stay
! in the party.
Chairman Brice of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, m
Ohioan, received large delega-
ton from the Buckeye State
yesterday. They brought the
; most encouraging reports of the
progress of the campaign thel G,
Z and Mr.. Brice insists that the
: party has an even chance OF
t success in the home of the red
: bandanna. Thurman's personal
} popularity, he says, will give the
ticket big boost, and it is about
0 time for Ohio to 90 Democratic
anyhow. Mr.. Bmce thinks thu
g party has smooth saillng il
