COLUMBUS. o., Oct. 25.-The political
pot i'll Ohio is at the boiling-over point.
The Democrats feel that the tide is COM
ing their way, and many who have been
doubling ThomaseS from the time the
campaign opened are now expressing
confidence in Campbeli's election. The
Republicans do not attempt to conceal
the fact they are not entirely pleased
with the outlook, though they
still think Mckinley will win. The
tremendous crowds which have greeted
Campbell at all of his appointments
this week have given great encourage
ment to Democrats all over the state.
At Caldwell to-day the governor spoke
to an audience of 1900 people In the
procession which escorted him to the
place OF meeting, besides the thou
sands who marched on foot, were
1000 men on horseback and $50 farm
wagons loaded with people. Such a
gathering in an agricultural community
is without a parallel in the history of
state campaigns in Ohio. Tonight the
governor addressed another big meet
ing at Marietta. McKinley's meetings
are also large, but they do not begin to
equal the Campbell demonstrations,
either in point of numbers or eDthu-
siasm. In many instances the McKin-
ley crowds are worked up by the
Liberal Use of Money.
1t is we'll known that the Republican
managers have had all the money at
their command that they could use The
publication in the Democratic papers of
Pittsburg and Cleveland of the list of
PittsbIrg manufacturers who had
contributed more than $4,000 to
the Mckinley campaign fund has
stirred no the Ohio farmers, and
many of them who we're hest
tatlng before have now come out square
ly for Campbell. The Republican pa
pers have not dared to deny that these
contributions were made.
Congressman Springer was at Demo-
cratic headquarters in this eli " yesder-
day. He closed his campaign in Ohio
with large and successful meeting at
Springfield Friday night. He delivered
i'll all sixteen speeches in the state,
and the state committee has good re-
ports from all his meetings. Mr..
Springer left this evening for Michigan.
He will make three speeches in the
Grand Rapids congressional district,
where a successor to the late Congress-
man Ford will be elected next month.
He will speak in Grand Rapids Monday
evening and in Ionia Wednesday even
ing. He goes from Michigan to Massa-
chusetts. Mr.. Springer said to-day that
he had no doubt of Campbell's election.
In every county he had visited there
would be
Democratic Gains
He predicted that Campbell's gains in
the country districts will be so great
that All adverse majority of 10000 in
Hamilton county would not suffice to
save Mckinley. Congressman Crisp. of
Georgia, another visitor at Democratic
headquarters. said: LAS far AS nv OBJ
servation goes, | find the Ohio Demo
Gratis united and enthusiastic and conf
dent of victory for the state. ticket.
while not unmindful of the advantage
to be gained in carrying the legislature.
L believe they will secure both.n Con-
gresham Bynum, of Indiana, who has
been making campaign speeches, was in
the city this afternoon. In an inter-
view he said: "Since the Cincinnati
and Cleveland meetings Gov. Camp
bell is gaining friends every hour,
and everything in the shape of dis
sension in the party is disappearing.
He will assuredly be elected, and the
only question is now, what will be his
plurality? l find much apathy among
Republicans in some of their strong
holds, and | predict that it will be in
Ohio this year as it was in Indiana and
other states last year. The Democrats
will be aStonished at the entent of their
victory"
