NEW York, Nov, l2.-Tho World (Dcm.)
publishes tho following interesting dis
patch from Columbus, Ohio:
Tho defeat OF Governor Campbell and
the discussion OF the official returns
showing how completely that defeat was
duo to the lack OF organization and re.
sources on the Democratic side have dc.
vcloped among Ohio Democrats an in.
tense bitterness against the Democratic
party in the East, and especially against
those leaders Of it who BY their GOODNESS
and neglect are believed to have kept
back the moral and financial assistance
which tho party in Ohio was entitled to
expect from the Democracy OF the M
ton. There was moro or less OF this
feeling during tho campaign, but in tho
excitement OF the fight it was little
heard OF, and besides there was a feel
ing up to the very last that the party in
the Last would yet BIO heard from.
With tho end OF the battle. however,
and the reports coming in from every
quarter proving that literal starvation
was the only source OF party weakness
and the sole cause OF its defeat, the feel
ing against the eastern leaders has
crystalizcd into fixed sentiment that
is bound to have an important influence
i'll the next national contest.
The official figures prove beyond ques-
ton that Campbell received enough
Republican votes-prcsumably on the
tariff issuc-to have insured his election
had there been means for getting out
the full Democratic vote. A large Dem.
ocratic vote for state election was
polled, but that last remnantof strength
which both parties get. us rule, only
in q presidential contest, and which is
obtained only through an, organization
that penetratcs into every section OF the
state and rakes every hole and corner
for eligible voters, could not be ex-
erted on the Democratic side for lack oil
resources, while Major Mckinley got
the full benefit OF it and was elected
by it.
ANALYSIS OF TIE VOTE.
The vote OF the state, examined in de-
tail, shows that wherever the Democrats
had an organization they made great
gains. This was the case in all the cities,
where there are permanent local organ
izations OF both parties. In Cincinnati
the good work OF the local organization
sent Campbell thousands OF votes ahead
OF his ticket, in spite OF the worst efforts
OF the corrupt ring whose cnmity he
had earned by ejecting it from power
In Cleveland, Republican stronghold,
but where the Democrats had an ciFec-
tive organization, Campbell made re-
markable gains, with one Of the heaviest
votes ever polled.
In the country districts the case was
the same. In AIiddletown, for instance,
Mr.. Campbcl's birthplace, which he
has always carried by his majorities, his
personal friends maintained IN organi-
cation which simply by seeing that the
Democratic vote was brought out ran up
his majority to more than two hundred
higher than it had ever been before.
The figures from Stark county, Mckin-
ley's home, ere even more significant.
The great fight there over the congress-
mocracy thoroughly organized in every
district. This organization was main
tanned during the present fight and the
returns show great Democratic gains.
Campbell carried McKinley's county,
town and precinct, reversing the result
OF last year and gaining not only over
Mckinley's vote then, but over the nor
NAL vote OF the county.
A CAMPAIGN FUND OF $4,000.
With these figures showing clearly
the possibility OF Democratic success
that would have been at the same time
a death blow TO McKinicyism, to VIII icl
the party in the natl on is opposed, and
the strength OF which is the chief men,
ace to Democratic victory in the Presi-
Dental contest in 1891, and with the
4 knowledge that to realize this possibil-
'ity tho Democrats OF Ohio had in all
the pitiful sum OF less than sos, 900, the
Democratic leaders OF tho state can
scarcely find words in which to express
their contempt for tho policy, or the
Jealousy as it is more frequently called,
oil tho Eastern Democrats, who with
held the support which would have
filed the campaign Golfers in ten days.
CLEVELAND, HILL AND GoIMAN.
"Thcy have sacrificed the party andits
principles" said one man OF national
reputation yesterday, "to their personal
cowardice. There was no excuse for
any lack OF support TO the party in Ohio.
We furnished platform embodying
the sole national issue to which the
party is pledged; we gave them candi-
date above rcproach, popular, able and
courageous; We provided Stute organi-
cation the equal OF any ever got together
in Ohio; We put the executive work OF
tho campaign into the hands OF man
admittedly the best political organizer
and manager in the State--a man who
had proved his ability by conducting
one similar campaign to successful
issue. Our machinery was perfect il
We had only had the fuel to keep it 60

three weeks before the election, provid-
ed funds were supplied Tor the lcgiti-
mate expenses Of the contest. 1t need
s ed but simple speech or letter to
{ have started funds toward us in flood.
One word from Cleveland would have
been worth hundred thousand dollars.
Z Hill or German could in five minutes
have directed funds enough this way to
have carried the State.
Sand yet Chairman Neal, with NIL his
experience and ability in politics, had
to sit idly his committee rooms here
wondering how in creation he was
going to get money enough to pay clerk
hire and rent, while oyer in the Repub-
ialican committee rooms man without a
