Howe politics? Oh, l don't know
much about them. Don't hear but
little politics here. There seemed to

interest seemed to be takon in them-and
this the stronghold of the Republicans
i'll Ohio, too Why it was l don't know
The nomination of Harrison seemed to be
q disappointment to the Republicans
here. There was a lingering hope that
the manof Maine would eventually get

Nothing is said against. him. but al.
though he was an Ohio man they don't
seem to freeze to him as one would nat
ufailF suppose they would. A promi-
nent Republican said to me last night
that.hq thought the nomination of HarYi-
son made Glevcland's election certain, a
feeling that seems to BIO shared by many
OF his filth. There is no denying that
the failure of the convention to nomi-
nate Blaine is Il terrible disappointment
to thousands of Republicans in Ohio as
we'll as elsewhere. Ohio will go Re.

Somewhere Ia. this letter Ispoke about

Possibly it is not so much a lack of sand

to Il remark OF mine about the Sioux
reservation, asked me if the Sioux reser-
walton was in Missouri. About North
Dakota they ere, however. fairly wellin-
formed, and ii is said that the informo-
ton has been gathered at the expense
or their pocket books. Fargo, Grand

northern portion of Dakota were started
by Ohio people. N. X. Hubbard, one of
the delegates to Chicago, married his
