In this connection it may be stated
that Mr.. Peaslee, the Democratic candl-
date for Lieutenant Governor, is very
popular in Cincinnati, and the Democrats

ton county. The Democrats, too. have

Most of them have been Endorsed by the
Law and Order League, and Republl-
can is quoted as saying that with this
| Endorsement the Democrats ought to
elect half the Legislative ticket IN Ham
iltou. This consists of IA Representa-
tives and Senators.
I find also that the Democrats are
banking heavily on the registration,
which is the largest in the history of
Hamilton county. In Cincinnati the to-
tai of both parties registered is $1,000,
leaving Is, 900 outside of the city. The
full vote in the county will be So, 900, &C

The Democrats are immensely tlckled
over Campbell's plan of campaign this

discuss tariff and silver, but the ex Gov

The Situation i'm Kentucky.
In Kentucky, owing to the fact that
free silver candidate is running for
Governor on gold platform, the result
is deemed to be in doubt 1t is further
complicated by the opposition to the re-
election of Blackburn to the Senate. He
is making the manifest and bravest fight
to-day against the heaviest odds, and his
success will be triumph cf devotion to
principle, in the face of party declara-

The New York correspondent of the
| Washington Post writes to that paper ::
| tFrom an unbiased view of the sit
uation it seems that Tammany would
carry the city easily, but there is not a
doubt of the Republicans carrying the
State, and having a majority in both

| be the best way of explaining how the
election of Tuesday will result.
ssIt cannot be denied that the State
has been practically abandoned by the
