OHIO DEMOCRATS

Tariff X Rsformer.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, June 16.-Mr, Allen
w Thurman is not in the least cast down
by the result of the primary election in
Columbus and Franklin County, in which
a majority of Campbell delegates to the
State Convention were elected. Mr.. Thur
man is by no means kicker, but he does
not hesitate to say that it is mighty poor
politics for Mr.. Campbell and his friends
to make contest for delegates to the
State Convention where candidate for
the Gubsrnstorisl nomination resides.
It is noticed that number of Mr.. Thur
mans friends are entering very pointed
protests against the county being represent
ed in the State Convention by the defend
ants in the tally-sheet trial of 1885 ard
their particular friends and defenders. II
is barely possible that the friends of Mr..
Campbell, the leading candidate for the
nomination al this time, have gone too far,
and may regret their action in the event
Mr.. Campbell is the nominee. 1t may be
stated in this connection that there are
number of Democrats in this city that will
not support Mr. Campbell if nominated be-
cause of the gang that have been employed
and are now working in his interest

And the How" of II VIII Not be Investi-
gated
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Whether or
not William E. Chandler used money to
procure his nomination for United States
Senator in the caucus of the Republicans
of the New Hampshire Legislature, it is
very certain that any charges that may be
made as to the action of the caucus will
not be investigated by the Senate. The
precedent has already been established,
and there is no prospect that the Senate
will override it until the complexion OF
that body shall be radically changed. 1t
will be remembered that Murat Halstead
was recently rejected 10y the Senate, to
which ne had been nominated Minister to
Germany, chiefly for the reason that he
had criticised the methods by which a
United States Senator WAS alleged to have
been chosen by the Ohio Legislature.
