- himself closer in
Governor Campbell touch with affairs po-
litical than this neat, natty, tasteful fright
bower of the Governor of a great State.
He looks more like Napoleon 1. than Major
Mckinley, and / wondered if one of his
numerous qualifications for the Office was
his power to keep the Governor reminded
of his great political opponent by his per-
sonal appearance.
He touched on all things in graceful
and easy way, from the probability of the
Hoopole townships primaries sending an
unbroken delegation to the county conven-
tion TO the state of Secretary Blaine's
health; and from the good the copious
showers would do the crops to the philoso-
ply and justice of the demands of the
grangers, and during the talk welcomed
and placed at ease delegation of distin-
guished gentlemen from GAINESVILLE; an
swered the questions of half a dozen news
paper men who popped in. and out; shunted
of peripatetic calling nuisance; was ap-
propriately confidential to pompous fel-
low from rear county who imagined him
self political magnate, and was absurdly
good-humOred under it all He said the
situation, but that he was sure THE DIS
PATCH would be made an exception. And
he was right.
A Good-Looking Governor.
The newspaper cuts of Governor Camp
bell do not do him justice. He is a tail,
well-proportioned man, with an intelligent,
handsome face; a man who "carries himself
we'll, and whose manner is such that it is
easy for one talking with him to explain
why he has such personal popularity. He
had Just returned from a school commence
ment at Logan, where he made an address,
and was preparing to start East to accom-
pany Mrs. Campbell on her return here.
"OfcourSe will talk to THE DISPATCH
he said cordially. 81 have a great admira-
tion for the journal, even though it does
belong to the other congregation. 1t is not
an organ but a newspaper, with the cour-
age of its convictions, and one also that has
the courage to treat the other congregation
fairly. am glad to see its TONE is winning
for it the success it deserves.

course, before the people. Do you care to

at all when it comes to county conventions.
The only interview l have had on the sub
iect was in the Cincinnati Post: which caught
me on the run. 1 told them that the fight
reminded me of the description We used to
read of Chinese battle; it was all gongs
and stink-potS or noise and bad smells. l
am inclined TO think, the more l see and
hear of It, that this view is about right.
There is no Disgusting the fact, however,
that there is a strong disafection among the
Democrats who have control Of the machin-
cry in Hamilton county"
Congressman 0uthwaite makes the sug-
pestion in his interview in THE DISPATCH
that the new system of voting, the Austria
liam ballot law, will help you greatly in the
city of Cincinnati, especially, because the
voters are enabled by it to cast an unre-
stricted BALLOT"
81 concur most heartily and emphatically
with Mr.. Outhwaite. The Democratic
party is composed largely of laboring peo-
pie who are, in many instances, somewhat
dominated by their employers. This quasi
compulsion would be done away with; and,
besides. under the Australian system, there
will be no purchasing of votes. There will
be some corruption in the rural districts
that this system cannot reach, that is by hir-
ing men to stay away from the polls. The
only means to prevent that would be
through a compulsory voting law. 1 recon-
mended TO the General Assembly the pass
age of such law, which would effectually
prevent such corruption
Only Single Dissenting Voice.
''Have any of the counties instructed
against you, so far?''
"There has not been single voice raised
against me in any county convention, except
in the county Of Holmes, where one man
made speech against me-
1--WE have already assumed that you will
be nominated-there is no question at all
about that, so far as 1 can gather, and have
canvassed the situation pretty thoroughly;
now what Will be the effect of this third
party movement on the election?"
''NNell, purely Farmers Alliance move
ment would catch great many voters, but
do not believe the third party movement, as
now constituted, will. Undoubtedly many
members of the Farmers Alliance will vote
for ticket if put up, but there is no sense
of LOYALTY to the third or "People's" party
movement among them, for the movement,
as constituted, is conglomerate mixture of
elements not altogether eoncordant; but a
purely Farmers Alliance ticket would have
polled an enormous vote in Ohio, from a
spirit of fidelity, if for no other cause.
"Do you think that the Peoples party in
their meeting at Springfield, which is an

ticket?"
Chances of the Third Party.
'eWithOut any definite knowledge on the
subject, 1 assume they will, and they will
