lows:

demonstrates that the three parties in
Mama county have on legitimate isues
with fair candidates, relative strength
something like Is. IL and 8.
1t further demonstrates that if the
peoples party OF this country desires to
accomplish anything in the future i,
must increase its present voting
strength one half.
There are but two ways of doing
this.
LIST. By straight out missionary work
as i'm the past.
Second. By coalition with one OF
the other parties Bv this mean rof
Il coalition of platforms or principles
but the formation of fighting league

sionary plan. Coalition therefore. il

THE OaIo CAMPAIGN.

Foster and Clarkson Want the Silver
Question to be the Issue.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-President Clark
son of the National League Of Republica
Clubs and acting chairman of the republi-
can national committee had an hours talk
with Secretary Foster to-day about the
Ohio campaign, and about getting money
for it and other fall campaigns out of the
department clerks Secretary Foster and
Mr.. Clarkson take the credit of having made
the silver question prominent in the
Ohio campaign. They recognized the fact
that the Mckinley pill was Maj. McKin-
ley's weakness, and thought that he had
better talk silver. Maj. Mckinley, how
ever, it is stated. did not agree with them,
and, while he yielded at first, proposes to
talk tariff quite as much as silver. The
republican editors, however, the secretary
and Mr. Clarkson think, can be depended
on to keep the silver question the more
prominent.
