,,,,-,Rrs. O., September 6.-The
.,o-s Of the Democratic campaign
Ohio now very fully appreciate the
before them and recognize the ad-
ages the Republicans have in the
-.r Of patronage and full Golfers. With
- r.tIonal administration in the
.s. Of the opposition, and
,..v5 and fearless State politician at
bs,d Of the Treasury Department
40, who not only dares, but does car
AMI his plans, despite the rules that
..rsrn the civil service, in all respects
..a- on times a practical politician Of
4, most advanced type-Mr. Neal and
4. ,o.workers in behalf Of tariff reform
.-ov and feel the opposition that they
I'M bo called upon to contend with.
They have made no mistake in carefully
ding over the entire political field
,,5 taking an account Of the numerous
.sments, financial and otherwise, that
-r.t be overcome before success can be
hi. not alone the Federal admins
..,tion that the Democratic party Will
/ n called ubOn 70 do battle against. The
,.srds of a reform Of the tariff will al
!, ba opUosed in more ways than one
~ .be large and healthy mOnopolieS
Iar have grown up under the prohibit
~-v system in the last few years. All
y these gigantic concerns are expected
n and will contribute largely 10 the
srpaign fund, as it is pretty well un-
isr,iood that I'm the event Major Me-
Hey is defeated in this State the en-
r-s prohibitOry features Of the present
pr.F will rapidly disappear. 1t is the
Fear of the mOnopOlistS that will serve
% keep the Republican campaign tund
/ 'nI They can we'll afford 10 come
own most handsomely for renewal OF
ne.r charter, and will not willingly let
y0f the good thing they have so long
ss'oyed without bitter struggle.
Itmight be added that there are not
q few Democrats in Ohio identified with
large monopoies who will, secretly OF
course, aid in the work Of keeping the
present system Of taxation Intact, so
a,s.-5lSs, mt Aytas,t tRSsrd- tho. .piIUlP
tend in its present struggle, and 10 must
be admitted at the start that IL has no
easy task before IL. There is reason TO
believe that a very large number OF the
a2nch and firm Republicans OF Ohio are
10 hearty sympathy with the Democrats
l the tariff question and will vote for
lc head Of che Democratic State ticket
Ne.y TO rebuke the managers and.
register their protest against
,e collection of vast sums of
money for the benefit Of the various mo-
-Jg0iieS and trusts that have virtually
gained control of the Republican or
gllization. The hopes of the Democrats
rest largely upon the verdict Of the
farmers and Republicans who cannot be
forced .Ouger 20 indOrSe the cOntitnu
-0u Of war taxes in time Of absolute
peace. In the rural districts there is
dse.y 20 be~a heavy falling off in the
Republican vote. In the cities Govern
o- Campbell is likely to suffer because
o, his Inability to give all of the thous-
a-ts Of applicants an Office. While it is
tue that the Republicans have many
advantages over their opponents, there
S1o hJle doubt and uncertainty in the
mind, of the leading Republican poll
t.iauS Of the State. No one can tell
what the advocates of the Peoples party
.w. DO.
a w. Thurman is one of the most
.colldeut OK Ohio Democrats. He has
Jaeu about the State for the past week
and reports the Democracy well organ
led in every section and confident OF
success. In all the counties good and
.,ient men have been chosen, wilhelm
le townships the school teachers have
-eat.hed themselves with the work of
.,la local committee, aud are especially
efficient in the organization Of clubs
made up Of young men who have never
voted. Referring 10 the Peoples party,
pr. Thurman says il will amount 10
practically nothing. He believes that
'ae leaders themselves now fully appre-
ate the fact that the only way to OBJ
lam any OF the reforms demanded by
.4eir platform will be TO combine with
Tie Democrats and first defeat Major
Mckinley.
