who are not only well up in the art and
science of politics, but they are also in
many cases the leaders in their districts
of their respective parties. The repre-
sentatives of the Buckeye state in the
national editorial convention, now in
session in this city, are among the most
prominent editors in the state. In the
delegation are such Democratic war
horses as Gen. Amos, Of the Shelby
County Democrat; Thomas Wetzler, of
the Lancaster Eagle; and P. NJ. Guilt
nan, of the New Lexington Herald. On
the Republican side are prominent party
leaders like 7. c. Reynolds, Of
the Akron Beacon; j. P. Chew, of tue
Xenia Gazette; J. i. Mcllvaine, of the
New Philadelphia Advocate, and E. S.
Wilson, of the IrontOn Register.
These gentlemen are cOncededly bet
ter informed upon the subject of state
politics than any other class of citizens
within the borders of Ohio, and from
the statements of the situation made
by well-posted members of both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties a fair
idea of the chances of Mckinley and
Campbell ought to be gained. For the

Of opinion, a representative of the
GLOBE last evening secured expressions
of opinion from a number of the Ohio
delegates, which follow:
Republican View.
I. c. Reynolds, Akron, O., Beacon, (Rep.)
No living man can tell what will be the
result IN Ohio this year. There is that rest
less or third party element that is trying to
take hand, and just what figure it will cut
. III
stand this year Mckinley chances are much
the best because the same element in the
Democratic party that VIII aim to defeat
GOV. Campbell viii be anxious to elect a
Democratic legislature so as 10 secure a
United States senator. The anti-Campbel
element controlled one-siXth of the cOnYen-
ton; if they control that portion of the party
they can play smash. l would say there are
two uncertain elements in Ohio politics this
year. They aIe:
first-The third party: and
Second-Anu-CampbeU Democrats.
This Is Different.
Thomas Wetzler, Ohio Eagle dem. }, Ian
caster O.-GOv. CamDbell's nomination is in
accordance with Democratic custom. to give
q faithful officer q second term. The pres
ent opposition Will soon be reconciled, and
think Campbell will be be elected for the
reason that the Alliance and farmers gener-
ally opposed to Mckinleys tariff bill. Camp
bell is also great campaigner and more than
q match for Mckinley.
From MckinIey's Home.
George B. Frease, Evening Repository
(Rep.), Canton, O.:
THE disaffection among the Republican
farmers is Overestimated. 1t will be as much
with the Republicans this year as ever be-
fore. Ohio farmers are for protection. The
crops in OHIO this year are magnificent.
Democratic State senator HOwells in our
district and dozen other Neal men in our
county. have repeatedly said in print Camp
bell cannot be elected if nominated. Nc
Kinley has declared for clean campaign on
the tariff. He would win on that alone. But
added TO it is the fact of Campbell's scandal
GUS state administration through misplaced
confidence in Doodle politicians he appointed
to Office. There is no reasonable doubt but
that Mckinley will go into the Office of gov
ernor by $4,000 plurality"
From a Veteran.
Gen. j. D. Amos. Shelby County Democrat
(Dem.), Sidney, of any one can defeat
Mckinley Campbell can do it. and sincerely
believe he will be elected. The fight against
him is so utterly without cause that re-
action is sure to come 1t is fight that any
man would encounter who opposed the cor
rupt rings of Cincinnati Mckinley'S tariff
IDEAS are not popular in Ohio even among
Republicans, and this will help Gov. Camp
bell immensely. As a member OF the last
state senate. l watched the course of Gov
Campbell closely, and found him to be an
honest, careful apd faithful official He de-
serves a reelection and he ought 10 re-
ceiYe it,
From An Independent
W. G. Harding, Warren STAR Qnd Rep)
Warren, O.-The nomination of Campbell
was the only thing for the Democracy to do
but the result will be an interesting study
The Hamilton county Democracy has been
the source of the party's success in Ohio, and
the snub OF the gangsters in that section will
be interesting. OF course Campbell will be
defeated. The most popular Democrat in
Ohio, nominated under the most favorable
circumstances, cOuIdn' beat Mckinley. Ohio
is Republican and Mckinley universally
popular. In Central Ohio no Democrat hon
estly looks for CampbelTs elect ion, though
that section strongly adhereS 10 him.
Discounts the KieIers.
P. NJ. Cullinan, New Lexington Herald
Democratic-GOv. Campbell has been re-
nominated, with very small per cent of the
convention against him. He has incurred
the enmity of the very worst element of mis-
party IN Hamilton county, while, in my opin-
1On he IS much stronger with the masses
who favor honesty in the public service than
two years ago The campaign will be rigOr-
ously fought on the tariff ISSUE and with
very good prospects Of Gov. Campbell's sue
cess.
Solid for Mckinley.
A. E. Pangle. Business Manager The Morn
ing Republican (Rep). Findlay, O.-The
choice is the best the Democracy could have
from the fact thai his opponent is the
strongest candidate the Republicans have
put forward since Brough. and because of
the fact of the open dissensions in the ranks
OF his party.
Campbell Is Weak.
f. S. Wilson, editor Of the Ironton Regis
ter, Republican, says that the denomination
OF Gov. Campbell will make more sure the
election OF Mckinley than if Neal or Kline
were nominated The Cincinnati complica-
tons are untayorable to Campbell's chances,
but whoever IS the nominee of the Demo
cratic party, the issue viii be determined on
lines of tariff discussion, which McKinley's
nomination projects into the canvass. That
issue will be strongly argued, and on it the
Republicans viii win You viii see doctrine
of protection placed in the advance of DO
litical discussion by the Republicans of Ohio
and IN way that the people espouse and
vote for II.
Three Short Ones.
D. c. Baldwin, Republican (Rep.), Elyria,
Glowing TO McKinleys great popularity
and just and intelligent opinions, | have no
doubt OF his election as governor of Ohio.
Fred A Glessner, Courier, Findlay, O..
(Dem. THE nomination was good politics
and am certain that his election is assured
as against Mckinley and the Republican
tariff policy.
Frank Stokes, Daily Tribune Rep.) ,Toron-
TO, O-This is MeKinley's year.
Ohio Is Republican.
J. L. McIlYaine, Advocate (Rep.). New
Philadelphia O.--Campbells denomination
is simply the usual concession of & chance
for second term. He is a weak candidate
on account Of fractional differences in his
party and many serious plumbers of his ad-
ministratiou. He was elected TWO years ago
by reason of a short Republican vote. The
Republican vote this year win be q nearly
full one, and the Democratic vote is likely TO
he a short one Ohio is always Republican
state on full vote, and all the chances are
in favor Of a Republican victory,
Campbell the Strongest.
