Ills Views ON the Ohio Political situation.
His Own Candidacy.
Epecid! Correspondence Of The MteRiGneer,
CALDWELL, o., June 19.-An lNTELLl.
~aENcER reporter dropped into Private
Dalzell's law Office to-day, and had a
pleasant and breezy talk with him about
the political situation in Ohio. 1t is re.
ireshing to interview the Private, for he,
as he Is wont to say, "has no fish to fry"
Is the iurthest remove from a policy man
aud blurts things right out, lets the chips
fly right and LEFT, with a what.are.you.go.
ing.to.do.about.it air that makes con.
versation with him the delight OF a space
writer like your correspondent. He
don't hem and haw, don't caution you
that this Is confidential, and that Is not
for the public, bnt says what he has to
say right out like q man, and II anybody
don't like 1t they can lump 1t for all he
cares.
He don't whisper or wink, and has
nothing OF the intriguer or diplomat In
his makeup. With u keen relish OF tho
humorous, and an adroit way OF putting
things he sometimes spices them with
a bit Of irony that requires a shrewd
reader to interpret 1t by reading care
fully between tho lines.
As to this prospect Of u Republican
Walk.oyer in Ohio this fall, tho Private
is fairly jubilant. When reminded that
the State went Democratic tho next
year after Grants reelection In 1873,
and elected "0ld Bill Allen" and again
in tho year following Hayes election,
1877, and asked II the apathy usually
following the strain OF a Presidential
campaign might not give the State to the
Democrats again, after the manner Of
these presidents, he quickly responded:
mo, sir, not at all. Tho people were
displeaEed with the salary grab and
Credit Mobelier, and the soldiers mad as
wet hens because OF the veto OF their
bounty bill, and that sent Ohio to the
Democrats in 1872, That alone.
"Ins1S77 Hayes, right or wrong, the
Lord Knows which, for l never could for
the life OF me determine, had incensed
large masses OF Republicans in Ohio by
his Southern policy and civil service
