The Third Party in OHIO.

! 1t is the opinion OF both democrats and
/ republicans who have had opportunities
for gathering political information in every
part Of Ohio. that the bottom has dropped
OUT Of the third party movement in that
state. Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia,
who has just returned from a stumpinR
tour through the state, says THAI the third
party vote will not exceed $4,000, and a
well informed republican, who has visited
nearly every county, says it will not OK
coed 1900
The smaller the third party vote is the
better the chances of Gov. Campbell for
being reelected are. At least that is
the opinion of the democratic leaders in
Ohio. The third party is composed of
democrats and republicans, the majority
being republicans The democrats who
abandon it will go back to the Democratic
party, because they are not very hostile to
that party and are heartily in accord with
1t on the tariff question. The republicans,
however. will not return to the Republican
party. They left it chiefly because they OBJ
1e';ted to it's high tariff doctrine, and If they
do not vote with the third party they win
vote with the Democratic party, or Will not
vote at all II is evident, therefore, that the
Democratic party has nothing TO lose and
everything to gain by small third party
Yote.
A hopeful sign Of democratic success is
the large number Of young men who are
enrolled in the democratic ranks. The
fathers Of many of these young men are re-
publicans. The sons are democrats for no
other reason than that they are opposed 70
the protective system of the Republican
party. They are convinced that the farmers
would be much more prosperous if the tariff
were greatly reduced. They are tariff re-
formers, and they naturally gravitste TO
the Democratic party. And it is worthy Of
notice that all through the west, and par
ticulariy the northwest, the ranks of the
democracy are being filed with young men.
The silver question, of course, is being
discussed, but, as both parties are divided
upon it, the effect IL has in the campaign is
not SO very great 1t is not an issue like the
tariff, and, hence, does not have so great an
interest for the voters.
Gov, Campbell's announcement OF his
willingness to meet Maj. Mckinley or any
other republican in joint debate has aroused
a great deal Of enthusiasm in his behalf and
the indications that he will be elected are
now regarded az extrem ely favorable.

Mr. Blaine's Health.

Has Mr.. Blaine recovered his health or is
he a very sick man! That is a question that
has not been satisfactorily answered since
his return to Washington. About all the
correspondents who saw him leave his car
on:his arrival in Washington agreed that he
was physical wreck, and that there was
not the least probability of his being a cam
didate for the presidential nomina ton OF
his party. Other correspondents. who saw
him in his house a few hours after his ar
rival. and talked with him, asserted that be
was well and strong and that he appeared
much like he did dozen years ago.
1t is difficult to reconcile these conflicting
stories. Both sets of correspondents were
doubtless honest in expressing their opinions
about his condition, but one set of them
must have been deceived. MIR. Blaine can
not be well and i'll at the same time. Il is
true that the trip from New York to Wash
ington may have fatigued him, and his ap-
pearance on his arrival in the latter city
may not have been that Of q man in the
enjoyment Of excellent health, but such
short railway journey ought not to greatly
fatigue a man whose health IL good.
Mr.. Blaine himself is reported as saying
that he has entirely recovered his health,
and he ought to know more about his pbysi-
cal condition than anybody else, except his
physician. The position he occupies with
respect to the presidential nomination Of his
party has much to do no doubt with the
conflicting stories concerning his health
which are published in the newspapers. The
| friends of the President would like
to have it appear that Mr.. Blalne's health
is such that he cannot possibly accept the
nomination for President, while Mr.
| Blaine's friends have reasons for wanting it
believed that his health has been restored
and that he will be his party's candidate
for President if the nomination is offered
| him.
The probabilities are that Mr.. Blaine is
not well man, but that his health is a
great deal better than it was when he went
TO Bar Harbor last summer. If he is really
i'll the fact will become apparent soon after
he undertakes TO discharge the duties Of the
state department.

The Road Congress.

1t is expected that the road congress,
which convened in Atlanta yesterday,
will do a great dead toward arousing,
throughout the state, a stronger sentiment
in behalf Of better roads. In the matter of
roads Georgia is not perhaps much, il any !,
behind many of the other states, but
for that reason it does not
follow that her people have valid excuse
for the almost impossible roads in nearly
every part Of the state. II the farmers
could be made TO realize how greatly their
farms would DO enhanced in value, and how
much they would save in repairs to harness
and wagons and in horsefiesh by gooo
roads. they would pay their road tax much
more willingly and assist in working the
roads without grumbhng.
Ia the November ForHnl Mr.. Isaac B.
Potter, Of New York, has an interesting
article on country roads. In his opinion
the cost TO the farmer Of carting his produce
over the "roughened streak OF soiln that is
called a highway has much TO do with the
existing agricultural depression. There is
a good deal of foundation for this opinion
of Mr. Potter. 1t is worthy of notice that
the farmers in localities where tne roads
are good are, as a rule. con.ented. They
are prosperous, their homes are comfort
able and their surroundings are attractive.
Communities that want to become pros
porous before improving their roads make
a mistake. Bad roads prevent them from
becoming prosperous. Good roads would
aid them in becoming SO.

NC cennaign IN Vow York.

The opinion among the democratic
leaders in New York IS that MI
Flower will be elected by n majority OF
between 10000 and 10000 The betting IS
in his favor, aud that is pretty good indi-
cation Of the prevailing sentiment with
respect to the result Of the election. The
campaign is not particularly interesting
one except to the people Of the state because
| comparatively little attention is
! being given to rational issues.
The republicans are directing tier attacks
against Tammany They are seeking to
create the impr eSsion that II Mr.. Flower IS
elected thst organization will be as infiu-
entail in the affairs of the state as 1t Is now
in the affairs of the city, and hey pretend
that there is reckless extravaganza and
favorltism in the government Of the city.
By such means the republicans hope 70
alarm the country voters and poll an ex-
traordinarily large vote for Mr.. Fassett in
the country districts.
The democrats are keeping the worlds
fair matter well TO the 'front.' Throughout
the state, and particularly in New York
city, the people feel they were cheated out
of the fair by the republican leaders, who
did not want the fair in New York because
they were afraid the democrats would con-
troll 1t. Mr. Fassett was largely instru-
mental, it is charged, in preventing New
York from being chosen as the site Of it.
New York shopkeepers and workmen, be-
lieving they would have reaped a rich har-
vest from the fair, are very naturally
b ostile to Mr.. Fassett
1t is the general opinion that big vote
will be polled. 1t is freely predicted that it
will be as large as the vote of presidential
year, and as the election is the last state
election prior to the presidential election
its importance is realized to the fullest ex-
tent. The chances of the victorious party
for carrying the election next year will be
greatly increased by its victory.
The republicans are making more noise
than the democrats. but they are not doing
more work and it is work that tells. The
canvass that the democrats are making is a
very thorough one, and there is no good
reason for doubling that they will be sue
cessful,
