speech was substantial, and will stand the
test with the people"
A short time afterward met Speaker
Heisel on the street "You want my 'opin-
ion of the debate" he replied, in answer to
a question "Well, L certainly think
that Governor Campbell had the
strongest and most conclusive argyll
ments. Major Mckinley wouldn't re-
ply to any of the questions the Governor
asked him. Why didn't he discuss the wage
problem? We know that the workingmen
were promised an increase when the Nc
kinley bill went into effect. Mr.. Campbell
pointed out a number of industries where
wages had been reduced, and he asked the
Major to cite one instance where they had
been advanced. He couldn't do it, and care
fully avoided any reference to the subject
Now that is not an argument The Major
made his regular set speech that he is deliv-
ering on the stump, and that is all he did.
He didn't try to debate with the Governor
or meet any of his points,
The speaker thinks Governor Campbell
will be elected without much trouble. As
he is a labor leader, Mr.. Heisel is paying
considerable attention to the cultivation of
the labor vote.
l might talk till doomsday to Ohio men
about the debate and everyone of them
would reply according to his party afhlia-
tions.
GOOD HUNDRED OR INDIFFERENT.
Another feature of the campaign that is
commented upon in Republican circles is
the general good humor of Governor Camp
bell. At times he appears TO verge on the
border of Indifference. 1t may be his nature
not to WORRY about the future,
or he is confident of election
State Auditor Poe thinks the Governor
doesn't care whether he is victorious or
not This belief is shared by manv Repub-
licans. Mr.. Poe reasons that the Governor
was fully vindicated by his party when he
was renominated. Then was when he made
his great fight and won. It will not be con-
sidered an evidence of weakness to go down
before man as strong as Mckinley, with
the Republicon party of the country help
ing him to fight his battle
The Republicans say further that the
Governor has his eve on the Senatorship,
that while he is working hard to be re-elect-
ed, he is really devoting much of his time
to the Legislature. If Campbell is defeated
and the next House and Senate are Demo-
cratic it is 10 to he would be Brice's col
league for the coming six years. AT times
it looks as if the Republicans were neglect
ing the Legislature, but Chairman Hahn
is watching this end of the campaign very
closely. Jacob Donaldson, who is Sher-
mans right-hand man, was in Columbus
last evening. He has been making the
fight for the Senator. Mr.. Donaldson saws
the next Legislature will be Republican,
and Sherman will be reelected Under the
new apportionment there will be 104 Repre-
sentatives and 81 Senators Taking the
last election as a basis the Republicans
will have 20 Senators out of the 81. They
think they can maintain the ratio this fall.
They claim the House in much the same
manner. This would have been true if the |
Legislature had been elected last year, but |
it must be done this season.
Still everything seems to favor the |
at present, and by |
iudicious management they ought to
have a majority in both branches. |
While Foraker and Sherman are doing some |
lively skirmishing it is under cover, and |
will not hurt the head of the ticket.
FIGHT IN M'KINLEY's DISTRICT.
The Democrats feel little sore over the |
emphatic way in which Mckinley pulled |
lown the heavy Democratic majority in his |
district last fall to a few hundred votes. |
They are putting in some of their best licks |
N Wayne, Holmes and Stark counties to |
'noW the people AZ large InaG the MAJOR is
lot as strcng at home as the country had |
imagined. Secretary Cole claims the Major
won't come within 900 votes of his record |
made in the district when he ran for Con-
yress. Mr.. Cole insists that Stark county
was colonized with outside hSpublicans,
'ome of them coming from Pennsylvania.
He thinks it strange that while Warwick's
Tote was what Grover Cleveland received,
figures were 1000 or more
higher than President Harrison's.
1t transpires, according to Democratic
that Governor Campbell played
shrewd game on the Major during the de-
,ate. The Governor was expected to tear
Up the tin industry in his first speech, and
While it was in progress Mckinley received
elegrams from number of tin plate manu-
acturers, in which they made affidavits
hat they were turning out tin plate. These
we're to be read on the platform in reply to
he Governor. Mr.. Campbell hardly men
ioned tin in his first effort, but in his sec
md speech he confined himself TO ridiculing
he infant industry. 1t was then too late
o answer him, but the afidavits will pass
or what they are worth on the stump.
