Harter In the fourteenth, who IL making hard
fight ana has only about 1900 to overcome.
One thing is agreed and that is that Tayior viii
De elected secretary of state. 1t happens that
Fam TAYLOR is the republican nominee and Col.
Bill Taylor the candidate of the democracy.
They are in no way related. but It is a matter Of
interest that the Taylor family is playing most
important part in Ohio politics lately.
THE TAYLOR FAMILY AT THE FRONT.
we have three Taylors in Congress from this
state at the present time and four members of
the legislature Of that name, and they are all
publlcans and kinsmen. None of the three Tay-
LOTS nave been renominated for Congress, but as
there have been twenty-one different Taylo-s in
Congress from Ohio since it became a state they
has accomplished.
Neither of the two great parties has any
great amount Of money this year III this state.
Inc republican national committee looks on
tne s'ate as certainty and the democratic
committee believes it would be q waste of time
and money to try and carry the state and thus
II Is that the managers are hard up, although
the republicans have decidedly the best Of ii In
the way OF funds, as there are a great many Of
nee holders to draw from and the state Offices
are all in the hands of that party. The demo-
cra's are greatly hampered for money TO meet
tne legltimate expenses Of the campaign in
Cincinnati and other large cities. which are all
under the control of the other side
THE LARGE REGISTRATION.
The large registration is unfavorable to the
democrats, but the state committee assert that
their reports from the various counties are
very reassuring. The prohibitionists estimate
their vote at 1000, but they will not get more
than half that number. During the past two
or three weeks the peoples party has shown
some signs of life and may get Is 900 of the
4o.OOo votes they claim. Most of their strength
is m no H. 4
tricts, although the democrats think that
they have won back nearly all who went astray
from their party last fall. That the democrats
are more united this year than they have been
for long time is a fact that can hardly be dis
puted, but it il harmony that would show
better results 1t 1t were not a presidential year.
Had the party stood by Campbell the way it
will support Cleveland he might have defeated
Mckinney, or at least given him much closer
race.
THE CITIES TURN THE TIDE.
The cities nearly always turn the tide in this
state. The western reserve is the heavy repub-
lican section of the state, but there are large
number OF strong democratic counties that
nearly offset this when the large places like Gin
cinnati Cleveland. Dayton Toledo and other
first and second-class cities do not go over
wheimlng1y one way. 1t is this vote that gen.
orally defeats the republicans when the temper
anee question is made an Issue. Fortunately
for the party the first session of the legislature left
the eSer-troubiesome liquor Issue severely alone
and consequently the Germans have no excuse
TO kick over the traces as they do in off years.
especially when their personal liberty is threat
eaed in putting bigger tax on their beer.
CLEVELAND MORE POPULAR.
1t is asserted that there a great many
thousand tariff reformers in Ohio who will vote
for Cleveland and that lie is much more popu-
lar than Harrison. The Foraker element in
the republican party of Ohio would not shed
any tears if Harrison we're beaten. They have
nothing to expect from him in the way of
patronage, as they have fought him and he them
ever since he became President While the
democrats have no good ground for believing
that they will carry Ohio, yet the republicans
themselves are uneasy for the causes mentioned.
Neither side is absolutely sure and the election
may be great surprise to the republicans. II the
democrats can capture two or three districts in
addition to the six that they are sure of they
will be doing very well and will look upon that
feat as In the nature of victory. The situa-
ton is an interesting one and is not attracting
as much attention from the outside the con-
dition of the contest would warrant
