Conntv and Democrats outside Of Hamilton County are
in a state Of apathy There Is no question Dut mat
the Campi;ef administration Of state a1ars mas pee
most exiravagant and inefficient. The state was onlS
saved from letting It's obligations 60 to protest DS o

In the Republican ranks there Is unanmty Oh Ieen"s
and action The general feeling is that we VIII eeoV
our Republican State ticket and the General Assembly,
and then choose United States Senator
Congressman W. H. Enochs, OF Chonton, says
The Republicans will undoubtedly carry ONO by
good majority Major Mckinley Will not only poli to
full Republican vote, but will run ahead Oh the toAeV.
l think Governor Campbell will lose few woes al
over the state. Campbell's administration Oh oOa''
affairs has been an entire failure The Republicans
of the state are united and harmonious and que de-
,ar,riped IN carry the state and elect RepuDlcSh

usually done, with the old parties. Inc SILVER oiu'o
in the Democratic platform will undoubtedly hui'
them to some extent, but my experience III Oiio 10
that the Democratic party care but little for pat

Campbell was defeated with free silver so FAR as

cent strong Democrats, who are willing 10 nave pro-
lection for rleir products but want all other com

say that the bill gives us protection against many
imports from Canada. We get good prices for every
thing we SELL and what we use on the iarn Is oeconi
ing cheaper every year. except labor"
+ F. d. Albery, secretary OF the Republican Slate
Executive Committee and prominent lawyer, says
There is very little doubt that the Republicans VIII
win | estimate McKineys majority at not less tlah
10000. This conclusion is arrived at after careful
study of the present situation and from some familiarity
with the politics OF the State during the last ten years
b;rty had harder
The situation last year, from business standpoint was
vary much worse than ii is now. The tarlh was
new and unried thing aud many people were frightened
by the false cry OF high prices In some communities
ignorant people led to believe that all manu-
featured commodities would be doubled in price, and
there had been no opportunity for the arln to demon
strate itself This year the business situation is very
much improved Prices have not increased as PIE
dicted by Democratic speakers and the Democratic
press Farmers have immense crops and are getting
immense prices. Most OF them have all the money
they want, or the equivalent OF 1t In their barns,
and the effort made by professional farmers VINO
are simply farming the farmer as the saying Is,
here will amount TO very little, except III certain
localities where it will niure the Democrats as much
as il does the Republicans. The protection provided
for by the Mckinley bill is proving ltseli Deheho'al
TO all classes. DemagOgy has about had It's DAY III
this line, and do not anticipate any great harm 10
the Republican party on that ground. There Is so
he will not by any means poll tile fun Democratic
vote A prominent Cincinnati Democrat, all Office
holder under the Cleveland Administration, told me
recently that he thought the majority against camp
bell In Hamilton County would not be less than TO-
OOo There is no dissens.On in the Republican ranks
You may say that the Republicans OF Ohio VIII not
only elect their full state ticket but that they Will
have a large majority in the state legislature
D. NJ Masse Of Chillicothe, who represents the Win
Senatorial District in the state Senate and who was the
Republican leader in the Senate says The Repub-
can state ticket in Ohio Will, without doubt be elected
this fall and should have from $4,000 10 10000 ma
ority. Mckinley will poll the full Republican vote
and a good many Democratic votes besides. Governor
Campbell will undoubtedly lose many Democratic votes
In Hamilton County and Will not get any RepuDn-
worth speaking Of as he did two years
ago. Governor CimpbelPs administration has been
complete failure, ana Is without single redeenlng
feature"
Among the most sanguine Republicans Of Ohio Is ex-
Senator W. ;. Kerr, Of Mansfield. lie says: "Judg-
ing surface Indications there is no political thing
more certain than that Mckinley Will be elected Gov
by most respectable majority. II VIII GER
ainly reach 10000 Mckinley Will poll the full party
strength and In localities, probably those he mt some
time represented in Congress, he Will get respectable
vote from the Democrats lie has fewer political
enemies in the Democratic party than any prominent
Republican l know
Martin A. Foran, Of Cleveland, formerly Demo
cratic member of Congress, says Il do not believe
that Governor Campbell will be reelected. To give my
reasons for this belief would take more time than /
at disposal am inclined 10 think, however,
that the Republican party will fail to carry the Legis
ature and that the Democratic party and the Alliance
Will have majority In that body. The Peoples
party, In my opinion, will poll but very small fraction
Of the vote for Governor"
