OHIO GOING DEMOCRATIC.
THE TARIFF ISSUE SURE TO BEAT
The REPUBLICANS.

The Financial Issue Won't Put the
Other in the hade-Gov. Fosters
Absence from the State a Severe
Loss to Mckinley Campbell's
Chances for Renom nation Good.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Representative
Yoder Of Ohio, who is likely to be the dem
ocratic candidate for governor of Ohio IL
Gov. Campbell should not be renominated,
was interviewed to-day. When asked
about the influence of ex-Gov. Fosters ap-
pointment on Representative McKinley's
presidential prospects. he said it would not
be beneficial. inasmuch as 1t takes from the
field OF political work an active aud skillful
man. Representative Mckinley will I'M
| doubtedly have the Ohio delegation, but
the absence of ex-Gov. Foster from the
state will be loss to him. "The republicans
will nominate Mr.. Mckinley for governor,
but I am not satisfied that he can be
elected. The tariff will defeat him.
A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.
HE is perfectly complacent, and, beyond
doubt, believes that majority OF the peo-
| pie of the state are with him in his high
protective policy, but great change has
| taken place in the sentiment of Ohio people
on this question. All over the state the
people are ciamoring against the present
tariff laws and demanding tariff reform.
They are Disconnected with the results of
this extreme protection policy, and they
| have gone to the other side with rush.
There are thousands of republicans in the
state who are clarnoring for reduction of
the tariff. 1 had been trying to educate
our people up to a moderate tariff.
| YoDRR's OWN EXPERIENCE.
"Some years ago it was thought I was
done for because l voted for free wool in
1870 and 1884. 1t was thought to be dam
Rerous to talk of tariff reduction in Ohio.
To-day the fact that began early to advo-
cate such reduction is cited as thing
greatly to my credit, aud it gives me
strength among my people. / started to
have gone away beyond what have said.
There is a cry for free trade. absolute free
| trade. Mckinley always meets with a warm
reception, his friends getting around him
and showing him great enthusiasm, but his
position on the tariff is extremely unpopu-
lar. and will defeat him. On that issue the
republicans cannot carry the state.
TIE TARIFF ISSUE UPPERMosT.
Some of the people are talking about
finance, but nothing can take the place of
tariff reform ia their minds. At my last

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

nominate Mr.. Campbell, and he will b,
elected. His nomination, however, must
come with a hurrah. It would not do j
