CLEVELAND, o., July 15.-James L.
Campbell is renominated by the Demo
Gratis of Ohio for Governor, and the
anxiety of the party leaders is now
directed to the absorbing query, evil
NHamilton county support the ticket?"
II the Cincinnati delegates in their
manifestations Of relentless opposition
and hostility to-day truly represented
the feeling of their people, then, the
conclusion is irresistible that cOnsid-
srable portion Of the Democrats OF
Hamilton county viii not support
Governor Campbell in the November
election. On every possible occasion
as well after as before Camnbell's nomi-
uatiOi. was assured, The mere mention
of his name was sufficient TO provoke
vigorous Kisses from the Cincinnati dele
gates. Even when his nomination was
formally announced and Mr. Kline'S
friends. in accordance with the time
honored custom, moved 70 make the
nomination OF James Z. Campbell unani-
mons. the Hamilton County friends Of
Mr.. Neal persistently refused to permit
she seal of harmony 70 be stamped on
the record, and voted mo" as they
hissed the name Of the nOmines.
It's almost proverb In the political
lore Of the Buckeye State, that as
Hamilton county goes In the autumnal
election. so goes the state Oh Ohio" II
This be accepted rs the infalliole rule,
tbeimportance OF harmOnizing the dis
oordant elements In Hamilton county
NAV well merit the anxiety OF Demo
orstic leaders. The nomination Of a
Cincinnati man for the Office Of Supreme
Irdre In was hoped would 10 some eX-
rent allav the hostility Of the Hamilton
comfy delegates 20 the candidacy OF
Governor Campbell, but whether
tbis desired effect will be
rsolized is altogether problem
stlcal and can only be Geter-
mined bv time. Il must be stated that
the Campbell majority managed ,Cte Sne

knotty parliamentary questions W.
Quickly and decisively disposed OF Oy
rulings generally to the advantage VI
the dominapt roll-calls on points OF or
order and apuealS from the Chairs oe-
cisioDs were averted. AT the same
time. the majority received with all tne
Philosophical resignation OF the victor
the taunts and accusations that were
thrown at them and their candidate oy
the ant-Campbell faction, thus prooS-
bly, averting a calamitOuS row. whlcn
would likely have resulted had all 1neSe
gibes been returned in kind.
