COLUMBUS, O., May 30.--0hio thought
when she changed her State election day
from October to November that she would
cease to be ''pivotal State" and get rid of
her exciting State elections. But the cam
paign this wear promises to be the warmest
in her history. Mckinley against Campbell
with the tariff at issue and the "embattled
farmers" as doubtful element will make it
great fight. The call for convention of
the third or Peoples" party at Springfield
in August will result undoubtedly in third
ticket being placed in the field.
/ give herewith the opinions of some of
the best known politicians and observers of
both parties upon the subjects that are being
discussed from the Ohio to Lake Erie and
from Indiana to Pennsylvania. The Buck
eye State is yet sin it. -
The gentleman who headed the State Re
publican ticket last year and led it to
victory, Secretary of State Daniel ]. Ryan,
though yet a young man of sc, is one of the
most astute politicians of the party, and his
views may be accepted as embodying those
of his party associates and leaders. Mr.
Ryan served in The Legislature four years
and as Speaker of the House before being
chosen as Secretary of State, which Office he
is filling for the second term. He said:
Secretary Ryan's Opinions.
The candidates will be Mckinley and
Campbell unquestionably. The opposition
to Campbell will be very light in the Demo-
cratic convention Neal is nice Democrat
but he cannot defeat Campbell's renomina-
tion. If the third party place a ticket in the
field il will result simply in reducing the
percentage of votes cast by the older parties
and will not materially alter the result.
The farmers movement will draw as largely
from the Democrats as from the Republf-
cans. Why, in some counties of the
northwest the Democrats are in
danger of losing their members of
the Legislature from this cause. The
at all, and consequently the Republican
State ticket will make good gains in Hamil-
ton, Cuyahoga, Franklin and Lucas counties,
while it will lose no more than the Demo
Gratis in the country. The spring elections
bear this out
The farmers are not kicking against the
tariff The currency question is what they
are agitating. They have nothing against
Mckinley. They will put separate Legisla-
tive tickets in the field in many counties,
and demand pledges in others, and, do you
know, it would not greatly surprise me if
the old parties don't give them some recog-
milton, and to see them holding the balance of
power in the next Legislature? And
it elects n United States Senator,
you know! The Republicans can
prevent this by a careful choice of
and will do so. No more than six
or eight county primaries have been held
out of IS counties, and the farmers will have |
a voice in the selection of Republican candi- |
dates.
Asked as the effect the demands of the
