WASHINGTON. MAY 20.-Hon. George K.
Nash, of Columbus. O., formerly secretary
| of the Republican state central committee.
| is at the capital on business. speaking or
| political affairs in Ohio he said that ne. as
| well as everybody else in Ohio, was bound
| to admit that the Farmers Alliance was
| an unknown and uncertain quantity IN the
campaign approaching. Whatever strength
, il might have was simply matter of con-
| lecture, aud he could not-and perhaps
| ought to have said would not-attempt to
| prophesy what its strength was. 1here Is
| as yet 10 evidence OF any intention on the
| part OF these third party men IN ONO to
nominate u ticket. Some Of them are ell

may possibly do some mischief to one OF
| the two great parties.
| As to the course the Republicans would
| pursue, he said that it could be as easily
| determined now as after the convention.
| Mckinley will be nominated and the issue
will be fought out squarely on the tariff
| platform.
But can Mckinley maintain through
out the state the same strength he dis
played in his own district in his congress
| ional contest with Warwick" asked the
reporter.
That is question somewhat difficult
to answer" SAID Mr.. Nash. If he can l

Mai. Mckinley will have following in
the state proportionately as great as was
displayed in his district. The people of
Ohio have fashion of admiringa brainy
man such as Mckinley is. He stands high
in his party, is not hampered by any FAC
tional troubles, and in his candidacy the
party will be unified and cemented so that
it seems impossible under any circumstan-
ces for the Democrats to win in this ap-

interesting political fight. The normal
majority of the Republicans is about

OF the Democratic side of the question
Mr. Nash did not hesitate to speak his
honest convictions. Governor Campbell
had. he thought, impressed the people at
large among his party with the fact that
he was trying to do what he thought was
right. Outside of the city of Cincinnati
and Hamilton county, and possibly Cleve-
land, Governor Campbell stood we'll with
his party. 1t was questionable, however,
whether this feeling would neutralize the
opposition to him in Hamilton county
where it was quite intense. The men who
nominated Governor Campbell before are
arrayed against him now, and Mr.. Nash
was free to say that they did not represent
the better elements Of the Democratic
party.
The outlook Tor the election or a hepuD-
lican legislature, Mr.. Nash thinks, is good,
and in that event John Sherman will be
returned to the senate There is some talk
in Ohio of Foraker, but Mr.. Nash does not
think that Mr. Foraker wants the place at
this time. He is now enjoying large and
constantly increasing law practice. and,
from business point of view, it would be
more than foolish to cast this aside.
Foraker is young. and there is plenty of
time for his ambitions. The gentleman,
in speaking of the ex-governor. remarked
that there was something about Foraker
that drew people to him, and made them
like him when associated with him. He is
the embodiment of the sentiment of vim.
vigor, and victory, and is popular with the
people. who admire a brilliant party
