of Governor Campbell's."
"Yes. / am. think very highly of him.
He is an honest man, with all the courage
that can be reasonably asked for in any
man. II Campbell had been properly sup
ported by his party in the effort to give an
honest government TO Cincinnati and the
State of Ohio, and if his party had not CON-
mitted the foolish act of hari-kari in gerry
Wandering McKInley's Congressional dis
trict, Mckinley would not then be candi-
date for Governor, and Campbell would
have been reelected.
TWO OHIO POSSIBILITIES.
MANY people seem to think that Camp

party for Vice President in any event"

Ohio for Governor in 81 he will command

would not want him for second place"

Wont this fight over the Cincinnati
offices and the calling together of the Legis-
lature at this time destroy Campbell's
chances in his own party?"
mo, l think not. The majority of the
American people in either party are honest,
and admire energy and courage, even if it
is unaccompanied by shrewdneSs. Public
mel do not lose by at times taking ground
against the majority of their party. The
public is almost as often wrong as right. In
the end it comes right, but / always mean
in spurts it is apt to be wrong. Vox populi
is not always vox del, for you will renem-
Der that it was the mob who cried out,
Cruelty Him, cruelty Him. Campbell's
action is bold, aggressive one, and will
gain him friends all over the Union.

ish statement is made that Foster is Green
hacker. He is not a Greenbacker in the
sense that was used by the defunct political
party of that name. Mr.. Foster is as bright
and keen in his financial views and acts as
any man on Wall street, and in fact has
helped to moke some of the big guns of
Wall street. With Mckinley fighting for

The TACT is Campbell has no strong, large,
broad man such as Foster is in his party
and State wh) would act with him. The
Hon. William Groesbeck is the largest
figure in the Democratic party mentally,
and almost physically. but Groesbeck would
be no match for Foster, even though he
should undertake a joint leadership with
Campbell in that State. Groesbeck is q

"How abou. the Ohio men located in New
York now?''
"The woods of Manhattan Island are full
of them. They are here in every walk of
lie, and many of them taking leading posi-
tions. Hoadley is regarded as among the
leaders of the bar; the Rev. Thomas Dixon,
an ex-member of the Ohio Legislature, is a
leader among the active theologians of the
city; the Rev. Peters, who has been so active
in the politics of this city for the past few

died, that famous son OF Ohio, New York
lost her single prominent figure in the Con-
gress of the United States. Take your own
profession, and still the Ohio man seems to
be we'll at the 'front.' Colonel CockerIll,
born in Brown county, has been for some
years and is now chief editor of the World.
and has had much to do with bringing that
paper W ibo OF success.
Carson Lake, another Ohio man, is one of
the most active and best known OF the news

and editor of the NetUS, was formerly of
Youngstown, o. But the list might be
heightened out to the "crack O DOOM"
Indeed the Ohio man seems to be becoming
to America what Scotchman is to Great
Britain. They are to be found almost ey-
erywhere, and almost everywhere are getting
a share of success. 1t is true that New
York as a rule has proved itself the grave
yard of village regulations, and vet large
number of the Ohio men have escaped the
boneyard."
Does that remark apply to your old
friend Haistead?"
"Well, don't know, Halstead has his
strong points. 1judge, however, that he
cannot become success here. In the first
place, he makes the mistake OF having his
business located in a suburb. For in reality
you know Brooklyn is to New York what
BraddOck is to Pitssburg or Ludlow to Gin
cinnati. However, it may be case with
Halstead of ''no meat in the house, 1 un-
understand that his "bridges have been
burned behind him." and his interest in
the Commercial Gazette entirely closed out.
His many mistakes eliminated in the
ballot box embroglio which drove him from
Ohio for all time. r. w. CRIswELL.
