Speculation as to the Outcome
a OF Their State Convention.
b CINCINNATI, Aug. Z. The great wee k
for the Democracy of Ohio begins with
delightfully."- cool weather, promising
comfort to the $40 delegates who will
assemble in convention Wednesday, but
even if the thermometer shoald rise be-
fore that time. they will find ample
space in the cool corridors and tie great
| auditorium of Music hall for the COM
Portable transaction of their business.
| Coming as this convention does, almost
| colncident with the meeting of congress,
and its expected revelation of the policy
| Of the administration upon at least the
| financial situation, there is an absence
of speculation concerning the features
| of the platform to be announced. There
| is a general feeling that the platform
must conform to the tone of the p-esi-
dents message, and as the latter has
precedence of publicity, the conforma-
ton may easily be accomplished. The
same facts embarraSS to some extent
the canvass for governor. Ii the tariff
feature of the message should not come
fully up TO the Chicago platform Oh that
|
to put the author of that plank, Larry
L. Neal, at the head of the ticket. AS
the matter now stands MIR. Neal has the
| lions share of support, with G. w.
Baker, of this city. aud Col. w. y. lay
lOr, of Columbus, apparently next IN
| favor. What changes may be wrought
by circumstances and by consultation
no one knows.
1t is certain that the convention will
be most warmly welcomed, and that the
delegates, and especially the brethen
of the press. will be most Hospitality en-
tertained.
Col. w. A. Taylor, who is an avowsd
candidate for governor before the COM
ing Ohio Democratic convention, is
here. He is likewise a veteran journal
| iSt, whose work has been largely in
political lines. He says the delegates
TO this convention are unpledged, and
that this will make their choice in the
only proper way, namely, by consuita-
ton and conference. When this has
been done the best man will be chosen.
and there will be no after soreness on
the part of defeated candidates OF their
friends. He does not think it likely
that ex-Gov. Campbell will be named.
but says that ii he is nominated he Will
receive the full support Of the party.
Col. Taylor has roseate views of the
result of the canvass. He says the re-
suit last year showed that Ohio is a
Democratic state, and he is sure the
people are more than ever determined
to be rid of Republican rule.
President M. E. ingalls,, of the Big
Four and the Chesapeake Il Ohio roads,
who, without mis- connivance. has been
mentioned as a possible candidate for
governor, today gave his little boom a
very black eye. '.Why, am president
of two railroads now" said he. land that
gives ne more power and more oppor-
tunity for doing good than l could as
governor of Ohio. would not exchange
my position for all the governOrships
from here to Alaska" Mr.. ingalls, was
noncommittal as to the candidates.
| Speaking of the outlook for the cam
paign, he said: Il cannot tell. Times
like these are always bad for the party
/ III power. This money stringency, Alt
geld's actions in Illinois and other
thugs that excite the public mind, are
always laid to the party in power. and
men vote without reason. But L am
glad these things have come early in the
administration, for it will give Time for
a splendid reaction two years hence"
