The Row in Ohio.

Governor JAMES E. CAMPBELL and the
Hon. LAWRENCE T. NEAL are competitors
for the Democratic nomination for Governor
OF Ohio. Mr.. NEAL seems to be stronger In
the cities and Governor CAMPBELL In the
country districts. The Hamilton county
Democracy Is bitterly opposed to the Gov
ernor and has elected NEAL delegates.
There 10 dispute whether the number
Of these delegates should have been based
upon tho Democratic vote Of 1889 or OF 1890.
The Democratic State Committee. In which
tho friends OF tho Governor are In a major
ity, are expected to decide the dispute in his
favor. and thus reduce the number OF NEAL
delegates; but such a course would only In
tensiiy tho opposition OF tho Hamilton coun-
ty Democrats 70 Governor CAMPBELL. We
have great respect for that gentleman.
He has shown himself to be a man OF
courage and ability; but will 1t be wise to
nominate him In view Of the animosity Of
the Hamilton county Democrats In regard

to the causes OF that animosity we express
no opinion. It is enough to look at the fact,
q fact Of unhappy import to the prospects OF
the Ohio Democracy this year, II Governor
CAMPBELL is renominated. Hamilton county
cast more than 1000 votes for him In 1883,
nearly one-nnth Of Che total Democratic
vote. VIII It pay to take the risk OF causing
disaffection In that strong place OF the Ohio

The Republican party Of Ohio is united In
support Of q candidate Of great strength.

business to compose the local quarrels OF
Democrats, but Democratic success In Ohio

should he thrown over, II necessary and
compromise candidate, satisfactory to all

nominated. Then the great contest can be
carried on under equalized conditions.

An Artist Indeed.

Raising tho legal question over tho head
Of Prize Fighter SLAvIN. whether he Is an
artist in the meaning Of the law Concern
ing the importation OF laborers under con-
tract reminds us Of the story that
JOHN BRoUGHAM used to tell Of that
charming actor aud his own admired
friend, LESTER WALLAcK. AS BRoUGHAM
was approaching the door kept by Saint
PETER, he saw LESTER WALLAcK pass In !;
but when he reached the gate himself he
was informed that actors were not admitted.
"But WALLACK went in," said BRoUGHAM.
"Yes." said Saint PETER, "but WALLAcK Is
no actor"
Certainly in the pugilistlc profession there
have been those whose professional accom-
plishments were sufficient to confer the
undeniable title OF an artist. Taking a
supreme case. II Mr.. JAMES MACE had
not cultivated himself IN his business
to that perfected degree OF skill upon
which is universally set the stamp of

skill; and yet will the law sit in discriminate

We have no desire. In declaring pugilIst
to be legally an artist under our present
statutes, to quibble upon the fact that he
may paint his opponents physiognomy
and torso red. or blue; We are only
upholdlng him as one OF an indIvisi-
BILE army OF public performers prac-
tising particular professions susceptible
of the very highest artistic cultiva-
tion and of the application of superior
intelligence. Mr.. SLAvIN may not be,
strictly speaking, OF the first class He has
not the exquisite skill OF MACE, nor by any
means does he exhibit 80 unmistakably the

Tho Republican Situation.

After six months OF whiting and watchful-
ness the Republican managers In New York
by unanimous vote have suddenly composed
their differences, admitting to the charmed
circle of full fellowship the FRENCH delega-
ton In the Fifth Assembly district and the
GIBBS delegation in the Thirteenth district
This restores the anti PLATT faction to
equality with tho partisans Of the Owego
chieftain. and thus gets the various wings Of
the party together for the first time since
1888. A new leader has been found in the
Sixteenth district, the troubles caused by
Police Justice SMITH in the Twentieth have
been smoothed down, and an arrangement
BRoDsKY Republicans, in the Eighth As
sembly district whereby the latter will work
hereafter in Republican harness.
This sudden change In the kaleido-
scope OF city politics Is not due
to any harmonious willingness on the
part OF Republican leaders to get to-
gether In the interest OF each other,
and to bury the grievances and asperitles OF
tho past, which are just as bitter now as
over before, toward tho extinction OF which
no compromise or concession Of any kind
has been made by the bosses In author
ity, or by their representatives. It is to be
attributed solely to the fact that since Sec-
retary FOSTER. u practical politician OF
tho very best Buckeye brand. has
taken the helm Of the Treasury De-
partment, all petty differences have had
/. TO give way to the declared purpose OF the
national Administration to achieve sue
cess for tho Republicans In this State
this year, at whatever hazard or expense.
The task has been made much easier by the
virtual agreement reached last week to put
In nomination for tho oillce OF Governor
candidate who represents neither tho PLATr
6talwarts nor the WARNER MILLER Half
Breeds, but is equally acceptable to both;
and one. too who is able to pay the freight
without proclaiming constantly the ability
to do 80 to an idle and censorious world.
I Whatever differences the local Republican
leaders may have on other points, they are
agreed upon ono point unanimously, that
mo success is possible for them In New
York without a liberal appropriation for
campaign purposes. While. therefore, they
hnye tho highest regard for the courageous
heroes Of Republcansm for whom the farm
ers clamored, as In the cases OF IRA DAvEN-
FORT and WARNER MILLER. they are i'm
pressed strongly with the conviction that no
Republican candidate for Governor can cut
down and keep within safe bounds the
Democratic majority In New York and
Brooklyn. unless he is . statesman and
patr,ot able to apply some Of bis surplus to
greasing tho wheels of the machine and to
keeping the boys In good humor.

purpose, on whom they have agreed, so far
