Ohio. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and
Iowa have created great interest in Savan-
nab. Politics are discussed in the hotels,
club rooms. on the street corners AMI
wherever group of mea happen to meet.
It is not too much to say that the
elections in tie north and west
are arousing comparatively as muca
interest as il it were a home fight,
contest in which Georgia had vital
local interests at stake. The probabilities
aud improbabilities Of the elections are dis
cussed in a lively manner aud many bets
have been made IN the last few days

Fassett, and few people can be found In
Savannah willing TO risk anything on the
republican nominee.
OHIO THE CENTER or ATTRACTION.
Ohio is the center Of attraction. Bots are
about even between Campbell and Nc
Alnley. At the opening of the campaign
tnere were some people who, because of
Mcktnley's great personal popularity,
were willing b give. and did give, odds on
the champion OF protection. The magnificent
campaign OF Gov. Campbell, and his ap-
parent daily increase Of strength has ma
tesialiy changed the situation. Tbs sport
ing people think things are about even,
and won't risk o3ds either way. Those
who thought otherwise at first and through
over-cOrfidence gave odds are sorry they
spoke. The wonderful condolences Gov,
Campbel expresses in his return TO Ohfo's
capital makes Savannah democrats feel
gosd.
II Campbell is reelected they say che

Dental contest, with the probabilities Of
the Ohioan leading the ticket.

TAAMkNY's sPEECHMAKfNGs.
The 'tigsr's" followers say is is not a oues-
ton of On election. but only Of the size of
the majority, and therefore they are not
premature ia arranging for the jollifica-
ton. Many OF the most distinguished demo-,
Gratis OF the country. including ex~President
Cleveland aud Gov. Hill. are to be present.
Georgia will be represented by Hon. F. @.
duBignon of this city, who will probably
make one OF the Sp6eehes OF the
occasion. His speech in Atlanta captivated
GOV. Hill, and the executive of the Empire
state expressed tue desire to hear the dis
tlngulshed' young Georgian before a New
York audience ia the near future. This
wish will most likely be gFatifled Thursday
might, as Mr.. duBignon has been Invited,
aud unless something unforeseen occurs will
attend. That Mr.. duBignon will make a
great impression cannot be gainsaid. He is
one Of the most finished and forcible orators
Of the country to-day, and will more than
hold his own with any of the jubilee speech
makers
