POLITICS IN OHIO.
Congregational Nominees I'm the Field
Coxey's Prospects.

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. July 2 1894.
Democrats here laugh at the idea Of NOS
holding a state convention this year, and
all things considered IT seems hardly proba-
BILE that dispensing with the convention has
been seriously thought OF by any OF the
leaders OF the party. The disposition OF the
tariff bill by Congress now seems much
nearer than 1t did two weeks ago. and as
soon the final vote is taken the state
central committee will be called to fix the
convention date.
The campaign never opens until the mid
die Of September. anyhow. really there
is no reason why the state convention
should be held earlier than September i.

tricts the nomination is regarded as equiya-

unanimously that Mckinley is the choice
OF the party in Ohio for the presidency. and
FORAKER for the next United States Senator.

SILVER Is the Issue that will cary the next
national election. The best men Of both
parties. says he. many OF them up 20 this
tiIne very hostile to silver. are coming ever
70 our side. Tom Reed the situation
ana tried TO get into the silver wagon but
ne was too late. II passed by without being
seen at all by either Mckinley or Harrison.
All three OF these men are out OF the race

Ihe nominee would be Senator Cameron OF

In the eighteenth district seem 20 be grow
