CHANGES IN THE POLITICAL MAJORITY
the Senate, and the Republicans are con-
fident of gaining one seat now held by the
Democrats. The assembly now stands IS
to 90 in favor of the Democrats. They eX-
pect to retain control of this branch. But
there are several districts which last year
returned Democrats which are likely to
elect Republicans this year, so the Demo
Gratis must make gain of new seats to hold
their own. Additional reason Tor making
an active canvass for members of the leg
islature is that the present senate will vote
for g United STATES Senator in 1891 to sue
coed Hiscock. The state offices to be filled
are governor, lieutenant governor, secre-
tary of state, comptroller, state treasurer,
attorney general and state engineer and
surveyor, eight supreme court judges,
| thlrty-two senators and 126 assemblymen.
0hios Holly Contested Campaign.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 2.-Never since the
war has campaign been waged in the Buck
eye state which has attracted so much gen.
eral interest, so hotly contested and so eX-
clusively devoted TO national issues as the
one which closed tonight with two of the
ablest, most representative gentlemen of
the state as standard bearers of their re-
spective parties. The country at large has
been drawn upon and national leaders and
recognized opponents of both parties sum-
moned to expound the principles of
REPUBLICAN1sM AND DEMOCRACY.
The joint debate of Campbell and McIiin-
ley will long remain historical. John Sher-
man talked finance, Roger O. Mills an
swered him; Secretary Foster discussed
national issues, William NJ. Sprague of
Illinois, answered his arguments; ex-
Speaker Reed and Crisp stumped the
Western Reserve; Cannon and McMiliin
discussed the tariff and billion dollar Con-
gress." State issues were almost forgotten.
Four complete state tickets are in the
field. For governor, James B. Campbell,
the present incum bent, is the Democratic
| candidate; William Mckinley, jr., the Re-
, publican; John Leitz, the Peoples; John
j. Ashenhurst, the Prohibition. Upon the
tariff issue it was clearly defined between
the two great parties for and against the
l Mckinley law, the Prohibitionists de-
} clared for tariff only as a means to inter
, national reciprocity. The Peoples party
demanded taxation not to be used to build
up one interest or class at the expense o.
another. Upon the financial question, the
2 Repu olican party endorsed the amended
9 by which tie entire product of the silver
mines of the United States is added to thu
currency of the people. The Democrats
