COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 27.-(Special. D
The Ohio Democracy already feel that
thrill of encouragement which results
from knowing that the party has brill
liant and aggressive General in the
field, one who is always found at the
front and in the thickest of the fight.
Such leader is Senator-elect Calvin s.
Brice, who has been in consultation
with the Democratic State Executive
Committee for several days past. The
Senator is devoting his entire time to
the present political contest in this
State, is travelling from county to coun-
ty giving words Of encouragement, and
counseling with the various committees.
He is here to meet any emergency and
personally direct the contests in the vari-
,ous Congressional districts. The Sena-
tor was found in the Neil House to-day
surrounded by a number of Democratic
friends, and being always easy to ap-
proach the following conversation was
had with him:
J "What are the prospects in the State
this fall?" laa.
every bright, indeed. have watch
ed the drift of sentiment very closely in
various parts of the State and must
say that it looks encouraging. There
are very few large political gatherings
held on either side, and the people are
not aroused as they have been before,
yet / think our people are more earnest
and enthusiastic than their opponents.
The work Of organization is progressing
very nicely and improving every day.
"What effect will the special session
of the Legislature have on the results
in the State?' n 3
Every little, think. i have been
about the State some since the
Legislature convened, and there is
a disposition to look upon the
B. P. /. affair as purely local.
j am pleased to note that there is feel
ing throughout the State to subvert
local differences to the general good, in
order to elect as many Democrats as
possible to Congress. The Democrats of
Ohio are realizing that the eyes of the
Nation are upon them, that this Is a
great battle-ground, and will have much
to do in determining whether the next
National House of Representatives will
be Democratic or Republican. Ohio
, Democrats never fought3a nobler, more
inspiring political contest than the pres.
ent one. If we lose the National House
the Republican majority, more arrogant
by reason of the results, will not hesi-
tate to pass the infamous Force bill, and
thus make desperate attempt to per-
petuate itself in power. The present
monstrous system of tariff taxes will be
followed up by a multitude of similar
bills, so the New York Tribune
says, that will increase the bur
dens upon agriculture and the
labor OF this country. This Congress
sional fight is a contest for home and
family; contest against iniquitous tax
alton that is sapping the life blood Of
the producers of wealth, and @ contest
for free ballot, cast without Federal
interference. -a5E-.
"What is your idea about McKinley's
district?'' s..
'The Democracy there is making a
most gallant fight against the combined
efforts of the Administration and the Re-
publican National Committee. Much
money is being poured into the district
and every possible effort is being made
TO save Mckinley because he is the rep
resentative of the Administration and,
ms the author of the Mckinley bill, the
great representative Of his party on the
tariff question. But no impression has
yet been made on the Democrats of the
district, and am very confident Mr..
Warwick will be elected"
