CLEVELAND, o., July l5.-JameS L.
Campbell is renOminated by the Demo-
Gratis of Ohio for governor, and the anX-
iety of the party leaders is now directed
to the absorbing query: "Will Hamilton
county support the ticket?" If the
Cincinnati delegates, in their manifes-
tations of relentless opposition and hos
tility to-day, truly represent the feelings
of their people, then the conclusion is
Irresistible that a considerable portion
of the Democrats of Hamilton will not
support Gov Campbell in the November
election. On every possible Occa-
sion, as well after as before Camp
bells nomination was assured, the
mere mention of his name was
sufficient to provoke vigorous Kisses
from the Cincinnati delegates. Even
when his nomination was formally an
nounced and Mr.. kline'S friends, in ac-
cordance with the time-honOred custom,
moved to make the nomination of James
Z. Campbell unanimous, the Hamilton
county friends of Mr.. Neal perslStently
refused to permit
The Seal of Harmony
to be stamped on the record, and loudly
voted No" as they Kissed the name of
the nominee. 1t is almost prOverb in
tine the political lore of the Buckeye
state that. ''as Hamilton county goes in
the autumnal elections. so goes the state
of Ohio" If this be accepted as
the infallible rule, the Importance of
harmOniZing the diScordant elements in
Hamilton county may we'll merit the
anxiety of Democratic leaders. The
nomination OF Cincinnati man for the
office of supreme judge, it was hoped,
would to some extent allay the hostility
of the Hamilton county delegates to
Gov. Campbell, but whether this de-
sired effect will be realizedi is altogether
predetermined, and can only be deter
mined by time. 1t must be stated that
the Campbell majority managed the
convention with cOnsummate tact. The
knOtty parliamentary questions We're
quickly and decisiYely disposed
Of by rulings generally to the
advantage of the dominant faction
and roll calls on points of order and ap-
peals from the chairs decisions were
aVerted. At the same time the major
fly received with all the philosophical
resignation of the victor the taunts and
accusations that were thrown at their
candidate by the
Anti-CampbeII Faction,
thus probably averting a clamitous row,
which would likely have resulted had
all these gibes been returned i'll kind.
The refusal of Mr.. Neal, Gov. Camp
BELLS defeated opponent, to appear be-
fore the convention and "tell how he
stands" even after committee had been
appointed to convey to him the formal
Invitation, has contributed more than
everything else to the feeling of anxiety
which pervades the Democratic ranks
this evening. 1t is generally the ordeal
inflicted upon every defeated candidate
that he must mount the stage and tell
how gratified he is. after all, that such
good man as his opponent has received
the nomination; but Mr.. Neal persist
emily refused to undergo this ordeal,
and the question now is, was this re-
fUsal actuated by modification and
wounded pride, or does it mean that
Neal throws down the gauntlet, and
will permit MS Hamilton county friends
to fight Gov. Campbell at the pollsf
Upon the answer to this query largely
depends the question of Democratic
victory or defeat in the coming election
