Ohio is closed. Gov. Campbell, who,
since his health returned, has remained
constantly upon the stump fighting the
combined forces of monopoly with
pluck that has challenged admiration
all over the nation, will give the
enemy parting shot at Music
Hall, Cincinnati, tonight. From thence
he will go 10 his home in Hamilton
vote ON Tuesday and return TO this city
to hear the result OF the election. The
cordiality and enthusiasm or his recep-
tion at Cincinnati two weeks ago sur
prised the Governor very pleasantly.
He knew he had many true friends
there, but he had been led 70 believe he
had some relentless enemies among
the ranks of his own party.
But if there were any such
they did not appear at Music
Hall. and as nearly every Democratic
voter in the Queen City must have been
there or thereabouts, it cannot De that
there are many enemies OF the Governor
among the Democrats OF Cincinnati.
Such a turn Of affairs was very crafty
ing and encouraging to Governor Camp
bell and his friends. and he resolved, il
possible, to pay another visit to Cincin-
natl before the end of the campaign.
The Governors reception astounded
the Republicans, and their party man
ayers promptly secured Music Hall for
the only two remaining Saturday nights
OF the campaign, TO prevent another
Campbell meeting like the first one.
This is why the Governor holds his
meeting there on the last night OF the
campaign.
The last week Of the campaign
passed without the appearance OF
n s'roorback." Ii was expected
that the Republicans would try to
spring suchoa trick at the last moment
but nothing more welghty than the al
legged letter from One-horSe official OF
a local Farmers Alliance lodge up in
New York State in which he offered to
sell his influence to the Republicans OF
Ohio, emanated from the Republican
State Executive Committee room. The
committee evidently thought his influ-
ence was not worth anything to them
and so they gave the fellow away. II
he could have done them any service,
he would have been promptly bought
and nothing said about it,
Last week Chairman Hahn announced
with flourish his estimate OF the cleo
ton results. He claimed the election OF
Mckinley by from $4,000 TO 10000, and
claimed Republican majority In both
branches OF the Legislature.
Chairman Neal had refused all
through the campaign to give an esti-
mate Of the result, but on Saturday
submitted to an inyerview in which he
not only predicted the result but COM
mented upon the work Of the campaign
In an interesting manner.
"What in your candid opinion, will
be the result of next Tuesdays election?"
asked the writer
Governor Campbell's reelection is as
certain as anything can be-" replied
Colonel Neal.
Shy what plurality?"
Gas large or larger than his plurality
two years ago which came close up to
11,OOO."
son what do you base your opinion?"
Both upon the great canvass made
by Governor Campbell and the cordial
reception he has met at the hands OF
the people, and the reports that come
to us from our precinct and county COM
mitteemen and from leading Democrats
in all parts OF the Strife"
"What do these Seports show?"
"They show that all the Democratic
voters are in line, and that we are MAX
ing accessions everywhere from the
tariff reform element of the Republican
party"
Then these reports are satisfac-
tory?"
''Eminently so-from so to IS per
cent. more encouraging than they were
in 1889, when, as you remember, l pre-
dicted the election of Governor Camp
bell, basing that prediction upon the
tenor OF the sports that came in.
Outside OF Hamilton county not re-
port has come in but is more encourag-
ing this year than two years ago, and
every day they are more and more
favorable
'Whst are the adviceS from Hamilton
county,"
1.-The situation of affairs is infinitely
better there than we had supposed they
would be, and there has not been a day
for two weeks that it has not been i'm
proving. The Republican managers are
claiming big plurality for Major Me-
Kinley in that county, but when the
votes are counsel they will find how
badly they are mistaken. / do not con-
cede them any plurality at all, while in
every precinct almost in the interior of
the State, Governor Campbell will de-
velop greater strength than he did two
wears ago. There are but two things
which the Democratic voters have to do
TO make the election of Governor Camp
bell absolutely sure by greater plural
ity than he received in 1882"
''What are they?"
go 10 the polls and be sure that
they place the cross mark before the
words Democratic Ticket in the space
provided. If they do this there will be
no trouble about the result, for the tar
i'll reform element OF the Republican
party, and the large class of Republican
farmers, who have been plundered for
wears for the benefit Of the protected
monopolies, will be on hand ready to
strike McKinleyism and the privileged
monopolieS. The Democratic voters
have only to come out in full force to
make the victory complete and over
whelming."
Have the Republicans made Wig
orous campaign"
"UnQuestionably, and they have been
In q position to do so. They have had
an unlimited quantity OF money to aid
them. They only had to name the
amount they wanted, and the protect
ed monopolies of the country sent it to
them prom ptly. On the other hand the
