Special Correspondence: Of he rateHigac4
CoLuNpUs, o., Sept. 6.-Mnior McEin-
ley has settled down to hard work in
his great canvass. Immense audiences
are gathered wherever he goes and the
tariff Napoleon is greeted with general
oyations at each place. 1t matters not
whether he is in the northern or south
ern counties, the same enthusiasm is
manifested by the Republicans all over
the State, and never is his audience
disappointed in him.
Major Mckinley lays particular stress
in his speeches upon the financial ques-
ton which this campaign involves.
This fact calls forth from the Democrats
u howl that he is lodging the issue,
which they regard is centered alone in
the tariff. In this they lose sight Of
the fact that through the Democrats
alone, the silver issue was dragged into
the campaign. The Major has plenty
OF campaign powder on hand and when
lie meets Governor Campbell in joint
debate at Ada, o., in the near future,
there WILL be such u backing down in
the Democratic ranks rs not even
dreamed OF. The committees have full
charge OF this debate, but it is thought
that Governor Campbell will delay the
slaughter as long as possible after his
return from the East, which will
hardly be probable within two weeks.

One Of the chief sources of uncasincss
to the Democratic generals at the pres
ent date, is the Australian ballot-box
bill. At the beginning they were high
Nv favorable to the idea, but after watch-
ing its working, and contemplating what
disastrous swath it may cut into their
own ranks, quiet efforts are being made
to do away with it. II is highly proba-
BILE that within the next few days the
supreme court will be appealed to to
test the constitutionality of the measure.
The idea and cause Of all the uneasi-
ness is this: The more conservative
farmers, many OF the bankers and NOR
chants, and the middle classes have the
presumption that any radical changes
in politics this fall, or the complete es-
tablishment OF new party, means de-
preston in trade, and cause some reac-
ton in their business. 1t is therefore
believed TINT very many of these classes
will secretly vote with the Republicans.
The secret ballot gives them a chance to
appear in their party us Democrats, and
save themselves from the apro-
brium OF turncoats, while they CHI
deayor to defeat the plans which DANA
aes their business. Chairman Neal hus
been trying in every way to counteract
this blow, but as it has been gaining
rather than diminishing, no heroic cure
will be attempted in the fight on the
.constitutionality Of the bill.

That the Cincinnati Democrats can be
easily ilattered and won over by Camp
bell does not at the present loom
up very promising The election of
Louis Remelin us captain of the Ham
ilton county brigade, or in other words,
chairman Of the Democratic committee,
gives u sorrowful aspect TO, the Eitua-
ton. It will be remembered that it
was this gentleman, who while serving
as a member Of the Cincinnati i. ?. ].
received startling telegram from Gov
ernor Campbell, saying: u believe
you to be dishonest" and at the same
time demanding his resignation, and
Mr.. Remelin now finds himself in posi-
ton to plunge his knife to the handle
in the governors vitals, and the estab-
Hshment OF any treaty Of pence or har-
mony is listed among the improbable
ties. 1t will be war to the bitter end,
with big majority for Mckinley.
Another peculiar feature of the Ciu-
cinnati dissension ia the position main
tained by the Enquirer Editorially it
stands forth for the reelection OF Gov
ernor Campbell, but the news columns
are perfectly inconsistant with that
stand. 1t is here that the knitting is
done, secretly but desperately, Not one
Campbell notice, article or resolution
finds space in these columns short OF
% cents per line. And not only that,
but here creep in the deadly paragraphs
of opposition principal among which
may be mentioned the recent interview
with President NJ. f. Ingalls,, OF the Big
Four, in which he denounced Governor
Campbell and pronounced his re-elec-
ton an utter impossihility This
method Of double dealing is being
loudly denounced. The Enquirer is no
longer considered the State organ OF
the Democrats, but sheets OF lesser mag
nitude are assuming the lead. 1t is
this masko OF deceit which will raise a
row and rumpus when it comes to the
Mclean fight for senator's booth.

The senatorial fight between Foraker
and Sherman is not as fierce us it is
made out by the Democratic writer's.
iris true the friends OF each aspirant
are enthusiastic that Ito shall win the
honor, but the contest has not reached
that point which is likely to precipitate
disaster upon the Republican party,
The nomination OF Hon, l., l.. Lamp
son for State senator in the twenty
fourth and twenty-tifth Joint district is
claimed both as Sherman and Foraker
victory. Mr.. Lampson i'll 1888 placed
the name of Sherman at the head OF his
paper US u presidential candidate, Tho
followidg wear he stood on the ticket
with Foraker for lieutenant governor,
receiving the nomination through the
support OF Foraker's friends in the Co
luInbus convention. Besides this Mr..
I.ampson acts according to his own good
Judgment, and the attempt to stir up a
factional enmity through him as would
be made believe, falls into absurdity.
