PEELED il by several interviews.
Governor Campbell considers the tariff
the sole issue in the Ohio campaign. As
the author of the Mckinley bill is the OPP

sion. Its political significance is that it
brings Governor Campbell in line with
Mr.. Cleveland, both IN the OHIO state
campaign and IN the campaign OF 1892.
The platform of the Ohio democrats
was bold, but il expressed democratic
conviction and the Republic believed it
to be the best possible politics under the
