inaucurated 10y the nomination Of
Mckinley and his associates on the Repub-
hcan ticket, is the only topic of discussion.
Republicans assume a very confident air and
tone. They boast that the election is already
won. that Mckinley viii sweep the State 10y
an unprecedented majority
No doubt there are kepubhcans who

DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL.
The Democrats are not despondent by any
means. ON the contrary. they are hopeful
and some OF the most astute managers of our
party in Ohio are among Washington tempo
rarv residents. Democrats generally cOncede
that Governor Campbell will be renomluated.
