the prohibitive tariff act under which the
country is now governed. His opponent is
Governor CAMPBELL, present incumbent,
who last fall defeated Governor FORAKER
by q majority of 1852, but who was the
only man elected on the Democratic ticket.
MCKINLEY, who is solid" man and per-
sonally well-liked, has been making thor
ough and industrious canvass Of the state
assisted by many effective speakers of
national repute, as well as by all the big
home guns, including Senator SHERMAN.
The Republicans are very confident. At
the start they were apprehensive of
the Peoples party, but somehow they seem
to have overcome this feeling, and claim
that its vote will be about equally divided
whereas the Democrats have expected it
would draw largely from their opponents.
There is still we may say, no little doubt as
to the effect this organization will have on
the general result. There is strong dis
position among the Alliance members to
support CAMPBELL, but the leaders insist
they shall do their work within their own
| lines.
! Another drawback to the success of the
Democracy IS the condition of the organi-
cation IN Cincinnati and Hamilton county.
This county gave CAMPBELL TWO years ago
a majority OF 1000, which figures represent
one half only of FoRAKER's losses. The
Republicans now claim it by 5000 to l6, :
/ 900, in con sequence Of local detection
caused by some of CAMPBELL's appoint
meuts. There is also some dissatisfaction
& in Oth Of+ Nh xoS
similar pretexts.
Ordinarily Ohio is Republican state.
IL gave HARRISON 1860 majority, with
Judge THURMAN running on the other
ticket The federal patronage bestowed
there is enormous. 1t is the home of a
great army Of pensioners, and many of the
people sprang from a long line OF abolition
lists and promoters of the Republican
party. And whilst money has flowed from
the east like water into the hands of the
Republican committees, it is said that this
year there have been no contributions for
the Democracy. New York, Boston and
Philadelphia refused, it is stated, because
OF the Ohio resolution in favor of free sill
yer coinage. CLEVELAND Hill, PATTIsoN,
/ RUSSELL, GoRMAN and other prominent
lights have stayed at home, whilst almost
the only leading orators from the outside
have been MILLS, CRISP and SPRINGER,
aspirants for the Speakership. The gov
ernor's patronage is limited TO very few
unimportant offices. The armies of state
officers in the big cities get their places
from local boards.
And yet, with all these disadvantages,
| CAMPBELL may win. He was i'll for nearly
two months ter his denomination. Then
came unkind stories about his alleged
financial embarrassment. The Cincinnati
Enquirer, DEM whilst according per-
functory support, has not given signs of
cordial cooperation in the canvass All
these. with other drawbacks, occasioned
much depression. But it is wonderful wi tn
what magic effect his presence on the ros-
trum electrified the party. CAMPBELL is
quick, witty, brilliant aud magnetic. His
speeches have bristled with sharp points,
carrying his great audiences before him.
AT Ada he thrashed the very ground with
MCKINLEY, so to speak 1t seems like the
reaction has set in, as was the case two
years ago, and that nothing can stop it. The
disgruntlement in Hamilton county is dis
appearing. With these cheering indica,
tons continuing, who knows but what
CAMPBELL will come under the wire, like q
very Sunol of political racers, with his old
time ll,OOO majority, or nearly!
The Senatorial contest in Ohio is likely
also to be exceedingly interesting, for what
will 1t profit the Republicans to gain Nc.
KINLET and to lose SHERMAN! There is q
big, though quiet fight on between the sage
of Mansfield and Ex-Governor FORAKER for
the legislature and it is hard to tell, at this
distance which has the better of it, as the
case stands at present. or course the hope
of Democrats is that their side will either
have clear majority, or enough with Ali.
