tributor to the campaign fund, and it is
reasonable to suppose the close Legislative
counties will be looked after in his interest.
While a good portion of the money may be
expended in the close Legislative districts,
it will certainly result in benefit to the
entire Republican ticket and Governor
Foraker. The interests of Foster IN the
committee will not be in the least neglected
from now till the close of the campaign,
but rather special attention will be directed
that way by some Of the best political man
ayers Ohio has produced.
A. L. Conger, Chairman of the State Con-
mittee, has just closed up some private
business affairs in the West, and will now
devote himself to the work OF the campaign;
he believes the Legislature can be carried
without the aid of Hamilton county. Ger
tain portions of the Cuyshoga county he
publican ticket are open to more serious oD-
jections- than in Hamilton. Ex-Speaker
Hodge is nominated. and
HAS A STRONG FIGHT
to make. ET-Representative John P. Green,
colored, is also nominee. He is the most un-
popular and Objectionable colored man that
ever had to do with affairs of state. Not
withstanding these weak points, the Repub-
hcans do not consider their Legislative ticket
in danger.
Mark A. Hanna, of Cleveland, who was
chosen a member Of the Republican Com
mittee, has so far refused to meet with them,
and his expected contributions will be lost
1t is understood Hanna will not vote 1or
Foraker.
The Senatorial situation on the Demo-
cratic side is equally interesting. AS dis
tinguished from the State ticket proper,
Mr.. Campbell is given the credit of being
more of policitian than his friends ex'
pected, by the clever manner in which he
is handling the candidates for the Senate.
1t looks as if he would benefit from
all of them. His principal opponent
for the nomination, L. 7. Neal, it
is said, has been promised the
support of Campbell FOR the Senate, in case
of election, and the result is that Neal is
putting in full time on the stump, when it
wise, Campbell will benefit from the other
candidates. 1t has been so arranged by the
State Committee that the county conven-
tions which are being held shall adopt reso-
lutions of Endorsement for their favorites,
and thus give each q supposed showing in
the contest Et
MUCH MONEY IN IT.
j. II. Thomas, a wealthy manufacturer Of
Springfield, is in the fight, and it is e1-
pected his donation to the campaign fund
will be substantial. While Senator Payne
could look for nothing more than tenn
porary Endorsement, yet it is thought, be-
cause of the structures which have been
made upon him, and that he may
have something to say in the contest against
Halsted, he has concluded to aid the State
committee. Calvin S. Brice will not be
candidate for the Senate, so long as his per-
sonal and business friend, Governor Foster,
has chance to win the prize on the Repub-
lican side. Jonathan II. Wallace, of Co
lumbiana county, who made such good
fight for the Democratic nomination, is in
the swim for Senatorial recognition, and
will aid greatly in the campaign.
The knowing ones, however, in the Demo-
cratic management, are covered with broad
smiles over the preliminary contest which is
going on. Should the Democrats win in
the Legislature, it is conceded that John R.
Mclean will be able to control the Demo-
cratic caucus. While numerous denials are
made for him to the effect that he is not a
it is well known that be is in the
field, and that the power behind the cam
paign committee comes from that source.
