| CINCINNATI, ONO, April 28.-The new reds
tricting gives the republicans fourteen sure dis
tricts, democrats, i've, and two doubtful, with
small republican pluralities.- OF the present
democratic delegation the only members who
| are likely 70 DO returned are Layton, Outh.
| waite, Hare, Donovan, Owens and Houk, % al
/ the other democratic ConRressmen have been
put in republican districts and some of those
mentioned will have opposition for renomina-
| ton. NJ d. Harter, the anti-silver leader has
boon put 10 district which gives about 800 ma
jority for the republicans, but 1t is understood
| that Har.er will make the race again. and o.
| this 10 considered one Of the uncertain dis
| tricts he stands . show to be reelected.
The present republican delegation from this
state arc, with possibly ono or two exceptions,
sure of warming their present seats in the next
Congress. Storer will be renominated from
the Cincinnati district, and it is reported that
| FIRST Assistant Postmaster General Whitfield is
an aspirant for Congressman Caldwells shoes.
The old district of Gen. Grosvenor has been
, restored, and he can go back to Washington il
he desires to do so. Col Robert E. Doane will
be renominsted from the Wilmington district,
and so will Gen. Enochs of the Portsmouth
and Taylor of the Cleveland district
There are a great many ambitious statesmen
who want 20 go to Congress this year from
the new districts aud some stubborn fights will
take place in the republican districts. 1t is too
early in the fight to tell yet who will capture
the coveted honors, except in the instances be-
fore referred to.
Layton will receive q denomination in the
democratic fourth and 1t is also probable that
Donovan will be similarly honored. Haynes
has not signitied his intention to run again.
but as it would be his third term. which is con-
trary to democratic precedent, he will have
opposition. Cultivate of the capital district
NAV also be returned. but lie has strong op-
position, which Mt present centers on Judge
Ssffon OF Columbus. Houk OF the third is also
IN democratic district, but he will be vigor-
ously opposed by Sorg, the millionaire tobacco
manufacturer. Owens of the fourteenth may
also have to give way to q new man.
PattisOn, DUNCAN. johnson, Pearson, War
wick are now in republican districts, and should
they agree to run 1t will be only for the sake
of the democratic party, as none of them with
the possible exception of Johnson, who is quite
popular in the city of Cleveland. which is
usually uncertain politically. has any chance OF
a reelection. Warwick, who defeated McKin-
ley, has been put back in the district that ex-
listed before the democratic gerrymander two
years ago.
INTERESTED ONLY IN NATIONAL POLITICS.
The leading men of both parties are devot-
ing all their time now to national politics, and
nothing will be done in the way of congress
siONdi HOitliDatlouS uOtll 0Iter the nominating
conventions at Minneapolis and Chicago. The
Cleveland and Hill, or. rather, anti Cleveland.
democrats will have hard tussle for suprem-
acy ut the state convention. Campbell and his
friends are for Cleveland. but the ''antis," led
by the Cincinnati Enquirer, will make much
better fight than they did against the renomi-
nation OF Campbell. The delegates from Gin
cinnati wall be against Cleveland without much
doubt. and the enemies of the ex-Presi dent
say that the ONO delegation will contain n
majority against him. The Thurmaus Harter
and two or three of the Ohio Congressman are
for Cleveland. and they WELD considerable
influence, which will make the contest an in
teresting one.
The big guns Of the democratic party are
DESTROYS OF gong to Chicago, and the two
factions representing the Cleveland and anti
Cleveland sentiment have already commence
to pick out their men, but it is impossible to
tell at this early day who they will be- 1t all
depends upon which wing of the party has a
majority in the convention. As usual, there
will be plenty of politics in Ohio this year. but
what is quite unusual, Ohio has no candidates
for position on either national ticket.
