Democrats Determine to Work With
All Their Might for the Election
Of Judge Kennedy.
THE STORM CENTER HAS SHIFTED.
Quiet Reigning at StraightOut Republican
Headquarters, Where 1t Had Been
So Lively.
GOVERNOR CAMPBELL's NEPHEW TALKS.
He Defines the Ohio Candidates Position on the Silver
Question.

The political storm center seemed to have
changed locality yesterday. That erstwhlle
lively region where the Straightout Re-
publicans hold forth was unusually quiet,
and Secretary Dunn said they had no news
10 give out. The clerks were at work as
usual, but there was an unusually apathetic
air about the building, apparently premoni-
tory of the shower that fell in the evening.
Judge Fcttcrman also had nothing to say
politically.
Alderman Gripp was at regular Republic
an headquarters, and he said there was
more activity motto able than at any
previous time since the campaign opened.
He stated that a large number of visitors
from all over the county had dropped
in during the day, and he added: I'VE
feel that We are in it.
They reported busy time at Democratic
headquarters also, and the tenor of the
conversation heard was as appended.
THE DEMOCRACY AWAKENED.
The straightout movement has undoubt-
edlv awakened the Democrats, and has
especially stirred mp the friends of Judge
Kennedy Ry some means or other the
ordinary Democrat has got it into his head
that the straightout Republicans had or
ganized with no other view than to float
into power through Democratic votes, and
that Arch Rowand and Charles A. O'Brien
had concocted the scheme. In the fear
that the bargain might be consummated,
without further ceremony, they came in
from all quarters to protest, and to give
assurance that so far as they were concerned
there would be no delivery of the goods.
There was a general regret expressed all
DAY that Arch Rowand had not beer hit
with 4 cannon ball instc"d of mans fist
during the miniature riot at Alderman
NcNiernev's office. and William Walls, the
Southside lecturer and Straighout Land
Lacquer, was pilloried with knives of steel
LOADING Up OK CAMPAIGN FODDER.
Both stories of the building at the corner
Of Fourth avenue and Cherry alley were
full all dav long The Exposition had
probably done its full share to having so
many Of the faithful together, but no matter
what the prime cause, the crowd ultimately
reached the Democratic Mecca, and after it
had got rid of its pent-up wrath at the
StraightouTs it filled its pockets with Demo-
cratic literature and went homeward, prom
Using all sorts of maiorities for Judge Ken
nedv and the State ticket
There is one thing noticeable of the lines
of travel, and that is that one might pass
hours in mingled company without learn
ing whether the members were Democrats,
Republicans, or Straightouts of either faith.
Several persons of both faiths were intero-
gated in the southwest portion of the
county, and they all said they knew little
or nothing about the situation and some of
both perSuasiOns said they hadn't time to
bother with politics this year. In fact, one
would be inclined after tour of that sec
tion to believe there wouldn't be much of
vote cast there this fall, but the thunder of
captains and the shouting may yet rouse the
countryside from its lethargy. AT present
petroleum, rather than politics, engages
their attention
