WASHINGTON, D, c., July l,-Col. A,
@. Thompson, in an interview, replied
10 questions as follows; "The so,called
differences among Republican leaders
in Ohio arc only such rs are incident to
the conf ing ambition Of strong men,
and ars not differences about matters OF
policy or principle. These differences
have never been carried to the point Of
factionaI divisions, The party has SUI.
lereL no detriment b cause Of them.
The men who are supposed to have been
at war with each other arc true men and
true Republicans, who place duty and
loyalty to the party above oil other con.

fighting side By side against the common
enemy in tho coming campaign,

The fullest opportunity beng given TO
correct mistakes and errors and redress
grievances within party lines, no Repub.
lirIu ever has occasion to go outside for

ed ON tue same lines as that OF last year,
and only upon that condition will the
New York leaders furnish the necessary
money for the campaign. Campbell has |
