the "Still-Hunt' Policy.
Correspondence of The Evening Star
COLUMBUS, OHIO, October z, 1892
Since the republicans have begun to push the
campaign in Ohio with vigor the democrats are
becoming FESTIVE under the "quiet-campaign'
policy Of Chairman John A. Farley and are
urging change Of frona The bi-weekly meet
ings of the democratic state executive Commit
tee are held with closed doors and members OF
the committee are little inclined to be COM
municative, but it is reliably reported that at
the meeting last Tuesday Chairman Farley read
letters from party leaders in different parts of
the state urging that some work on the stump
be done at once or the mass of the party would
become discouraged. On being asked by The
STAR correspondent whether he proposed to
have any work done on the stump in Ohio
Chairman Farley said that later on there wouid
be some speaking by democratic orators.
One month from tonight will be the eve of
election and 1t cannot be that the committee
ably there will be a democratic meeting Just be-
fore the election in each of the large cities, but
nothing m ore.

In Ohio, making two speeches each day. The
state committee is making arrangements for
about twenty new political meetings each day,
and the republican candidates for Congress are
conducting lively campaigns in their own dis
tricts. Senator VIM. p. Frye OF Maine has been
stamping the state for the past two weeks, and
A. A. Taylor Of Tennessee e here now speaking
for the republicans. J. Sloot Fassett comes
next week and win begin a weeks work At
Cleveland Saturday evening, October Is.
DEMOCRATIC aUBERNAToRrAL TIMBER.
The suggestion that the result Of the election
may leave Congressman NJ d. Harter the
leading candidate Of his party for the guberna-
torial nomination next summer, has precipitated
Q discussion OF that matter by politicians here
glance over the field shows that the demo-
crats are not blessed with an abundance of
available gubernatorial timber. It would not

nomination was secured against the protests of
. considerable portion Of his party. It may be
unfortunate, but IL is nevertheless q fact that
ex-Gov. Campbell has great many enemies In
his own party in Ohio. 1t would be equally un-
wise to nominate L. T. Neal, who was taken up
