M KINLEY' S MAJORITY.
1t is Only a Question Of What tho
Size of win Be,
HIS NOMINATION is A CERTAINTY,
And tho Mako Up of tho Remainder
ofthc Ticket is now the Matter for
Consideration Democratic Apathy
In ohio.-A List ofthc Candidates.

Special Di,paieht 70 nc Iats'igeter.
Co1uMBus, o., May 17.-It may be
said without exaggeration that Major
McKinley's majority for Governor is
growingevety day. In markedcontrastt to
the wrangling and fractional lighting
among the Ohio Democrats is the calm,
peaceful and harmonious attitude OF the
Republican party, This placidity OF
mind comes from the assurance Of sue
cess which is felt not only by the lead
ers but by the rank and fileof the par
ty. Indeed, it is no longer question
Of whether or not the Republicans will
elect the entire State ticket. 1t is now
matter Of the size Of their majority,
DAZZLING PosstnIIriEs,
This field Of conjecture affords some
dazzling possibilities. 1t goes without
saving, Of course, that Mckinley will be
nominated for Governor. 1t need not
be doubted that the remainder OF the
ticket will be SO strong that no one man
will lead BY more than q single length
Now, it will be remembered that in his
gallant fight against a hopeless majority
in the 10th Congressional district last
fall, Major Mckinley reduced the usual
Democratic majority from 5000 TO 800
that is, in round Plumbers. In other
words, hemade gain OF 200 vote. II
is not reasonable to suppose that any
such ratio as this will be preserved
throughout the State this fall. A very
little calculation, however, will show
that one-ffth Of that ratio OF gain Will
double tho usual Republican majority
With the Democratic dissatisfaction as
contributary factor, such result is by
no means improbable.

A STIRLING CONTRAST.

As has been stated, the attitude OF the
two parties is in marked contrast. The
Republican is so certain to go through
without accident and on schedule time,
that aspiring ofIiceholders are aspiring
to get on board. There are at least three
or four candidates for every nomination
to be made by the State convention eX-
cept the head OF the ticket, for IT is
well understood that nomination
will be equivalent to an election.
In the Democratic ranks no such
anxiety exists. In fact, Governor
Campbell himself seems to be the only
member Of that party who is making
any very determined effort to secure a
nomination. Fewprobable candidates,
even, are mentioned in connection with
the other offices. There is well de-
fined feeling of uncertainty among the
Bourbons. It is certain that If any
Democratic candidate on the State ticket
is successful, it will be by merest chance.
Practical politicians do not care to chase
rainbow, and that's about what Demo-
Gratis candidacy would mean this year.
Indeed the condition Of affairs is so I'M
settled in that party that no date or
place has as yet been arranged for hold
ing the State convention.
