the issue. A Democracy torn and
rent by intestinal quarrels cannot
hope for victory. The Ohio Demo
Gratis should remember that they
are not engaged in a purely local
struggle. The election of McKin-
ley would he Il national disaster,
the responsibility for which would

recalcitrants to bear"
The New York Adrertiser: "Gov.
Campbell has shown himself to be
II strong figure in his party. His
administration of the affairs of the
State has been characterized by
fearlessness and integrity. He has
not bent readily to the politicians,
particularly those of Hamilton
county, and the opposition to him
before the convention came largely
from that section of the State.
AS the representative of the pro-
lection idea Major Mckinley will
be at no loss for aid from his party.
1t is not only II fight for Mckinley
as candidate for Governor of
Ohio, but fight for the entire Re-
publican party. If Mckinley goes
down in his own state, where he
has II natural majority, it will be
the death knell of the protection
issue. In view of this he will have
every aid in money and speakers
that the Republican national COM
mittee can give, and Gov. Camp
bell's fight will be carried on under
great disadvantages unless he can
bring about absolute peace to his
party"
The Philadelphia Record: "Like
the Democratic executive of Penn
sylvania, Gov. Campbell is in him
self a platform and guarantee of
pure administration His personal
popularity in Ohio is almost un-
bounded, and, like Pattison, he in
variably draws largely in an cleo
tion from the voting strength OF
the opposition. He defeated Fora
ker in 1889 by 1O,S72 plurality, al
though two years previously that
shrewd political organizer had
been elected by plurality of 23,.

congress, and, while not an eXtrem-

tariff reform and free raw materi.
ais. The Ohio Democracy are for
tunate in being able to present such
a worthy candidate for the sufrra-
ges of the people of Ohio"
The Philadelphia Times: "Gov.
Campbell should be reelected by
greater majority than he polled
two years ago. His administration
has been an admirable one. 1t is
useless to deny that his very faith
fulness to the public interests has
made him some very bitter enc
mics in his own party. He is also
confronted with competitor who
stands higher in public estimation
than Foraker did. McKinley's
weakness is that of being the cham
ion of pernicious political system
though in personal character the
two candidates are each others
peers, and for this the people Of
Ohio are to be congratulated The
contest will be hotly waged and its
result will have far more than a
local significance. The Republi-
cans have chosen to make the can

suit will furnish Il pretty good in

Mckinley high tariff policy after Il
