CAMPBELL TO WIN IN OHIO
COLONIES 6E HILL OF OHIO TALKS

| Washington, Oct. 5.-Congress, that
| great hippodrome, whose annual appear
| ance in Washington Is hailed with de-
| light by the newspaper men and board
| ing-house keepers alike, meets two
months from today.
Two months and Tommy Reed will
take his old station on the platform in
the house of representatives, this time to
| rule with Establishments and magnanim-
| ity instead of the force and arrogance
that gained him the soubriquet of "czar''
Well can Tommy" afford to be magnan-
imous with a clear majority of 1873 at his
back. But this majority, Its very vast
ness is going to be the altar where will be
sacrificed "Tommy's' cherished ambi-
ton of receiving the republican nomina-
ton for the presidency. Then, am told.
Tommy" is having no little trouble in
arranging to dispose of the various chair
manships of the committees of the next
house. There is Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
who wants to be chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means. Dalzell
| fought Quay in the late unpleasantness
in Pennsylvania, and Reed is banking
heavily on Quay's support so unless
Quay agrees the little statesman from
Pittsburg will have to take some minor
position. Then Payne, Serene e. Payne,
of New York, would have to be chosen,
and this might not sit well on Platt's
stomach, whose support Reed Is counting
on as soon as Levi p. Morton is shelved
And again. on the committee on appro-
priations Uncle Joe" Cannon wants the
Craftsmanship he held in the Fifty-first
congress, but "Uncle Joe" was not
member of the Fifty second, and Hen
| derson of Iowa, who lost a leg in the late
war, outranks him. So 1t is easily seen
| that '"Tommy's" sleep Is troubled and
| his wakings sorely distressed.
Maryland, My Maryland.
Over In Maryland there is fierce war
| being rag.d over the state election that
| comes off in November, and should the
| democracy lose, the victory must be cred
/ tied not to the republicans, but to the
| treachery of disaffected element head
| ed by the Baltimore Sun, an administi~-
| tion organ-one of the most pronounced.
| The issue in a word is German. German,
! that astute politician and leader for
| twenty years of the democracy in Mary
land, is distasteful to the Sun paper, and
to discipline him it has bolted the nomi-
| nation regularly made by convention
| regularly called, and is striving with
| might and main to turn the state over to
the republicans, who, If they win in No
| vember, will so manage that success Will
| be certain in the presidential election In
| 1896 Such is the loyalty to democracy
| of the Baltimore Sun. My information.
| however, is that Hurst, the democratic
| nominee, will be elected.
Kentucky.
| Advices from Kentucky tell that the
| contest in that state will be very close,
| and If Hardin is elected it will be by
very small majority; the rest of the ticket
| though is reasonably sure of election:
| Again the treachery of the press Is In ev-
| idence and If Watt Hardin is defeated
| 1t will be by the traitors in his own party
rather than by the republicans The ex-
| cuse given for voting against Hardin is,
| he accepted nomination inimicable to
silver and refuses to change his views,
| held for lifetime, as have others to
| whose personal interest 1t was to so
| change.
| Senator Blackburn was in Washington
| Monday, and he said he would surely be
| returned to the senate In spite of the ad-
ministraton, whose latest tactics Is to
| get every prominent Kentuckian to be-
| come a candidate for the United States
| senate who can secure the votes of three
| of four members of the legislature, there
| by weakening Blackburn This is the
| thusness of Colonel Berry's candidacy,
| and more announcements are looked for
any time.
W. G. P. Breckinridge since he has
| been taken to the bosom of the admins
| tration forces in Kentucky, and 1t Is said
| he is apt to come back to congress next
year.
In Ohio there are no traitors. Cause
why? The administration people won,
| and the silver men, democrats that they
are, stand to the rack fodder or no fod-
der"
/ At
| deputy sergeant-at-arms of the house,
prominent silver democrat of Ohio and
| a member Of the executive committee of
| the state, he said: Jimmy Campbell
| will win sure. 1 never saw" said Col
onel HILL "sucn a ra1lying around one
man. National issues have been laid
aside, and silver democrats, gold demo-
| Gratis, high tariff democrats, low tariff
| democrats and free trade democrats have
| all united to make Campbell governor.
| Nor is silver dead in Ohio" continued
| the colonel. Next year we are going to
| have state primary with the question
voted directly for by the people, and you
will find Ohio sending to the national
convention a delegation. the majority of
which will favor the free and unlimited
| coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l."
AS it is in Maryland, Kentucky and
| Ohio so 1t will be at the next national
convention of the democratic party. If
| the silver forces capture the convention
the So-called SOund money men are as
sure to walk out of the convention hall
as the sun Is to rise in the morning.
| Should the sound money men win and a
platform be adopted making gold and
gold only the standard of values and
| pledging to retire the greenbacks, there
| by Withdrawing from circulation one
| third of the money now in use, the silver
men will bow to the will of the majority
and bide their time until the increased
prices for the necessaries of life demon
| strate the trueness of their theory and
| give the party of the people into their
| control; for this is their democracy to
| abide the decision of the majority, such
democracy handed down by their fathers
