Special Dispatch to The Evening; Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, August 10.-The dem
ocratic outlook is that If ex-Gov. Camp
bell is rot forced. nolens volens. to take
the democratic nomination for governor, it
will go to Col Jas. Kilbourne Of this city
by reclamation.
Campbell is very popular with all classes
of the party and would be without doubt
the strongest candidate that the party
could select. He is preferred by the Brice
democrats.
The free silver democrats are working
hard for Kilbourne. but the fact is rather
against him, as the free silver strength
has almost entirely disappeared or been
absorbed by the anti-Brice movement.
Ex-Mayor Burnett's name of Springfield
has been mentioned for the nomination for
governor, but he laughs at it. 1t is a safe
prediction that it Will be rather Campbell
or Kilbourne.
For lieutenant governor the name of
Mayor Allen of this city is now being used; ;
for member of the state board of public
works. the names of Jas. w. Knott, for
merly superintendent of the State Deaf
and Dumb Asylum, and Chas. A. Speny of
this city arc mentioned.
Beyond this no talk of candidates is
heard. The question of who will be nomi-
mated for governor. whether the convention
viii indorse Senator Brice. and what ac-
engage the attention of the leaders of the
party and the politicians.
The convention will not meet until We'd
nesday morning: The delegates will meet
by congressional districts at o'clock to-
morrow evening to select members of the
committees. etc.
Early ON the Ground.
