OHIO POLITICS.

Party prospects depend very largely
upon the points of observation and bias
of observers, but it is pretty nearly
conceded that this is to be the year for
the Democrats in Ohio. Republicans
are divided, and not at all enthusiastic.
There has been nothing in the admins
tration to inspire them. Apathy in the
party is likely to be prevalent. and
neither free wool nor the bloody shirt
is available to quicken the partisan
pulse. There is general disgust with the
nepotism of the president. and the
party workers have been chilled by the
indifference exhibited toward them.
The Democrats will make up their
ticket in August, and make things
lively after that. Ohio is good index

representative Of the country. 1t will
