If John G. Thompson were alive to-
day he would be claiming the next
election by majority larger than ev-
er before obtained by the Democracy
in this state. Six years ago the pros
poets of Democratic success in Ohio
were anything but Encouraging. No
Democratic victory had crowned the
party labors for six long and weary
years. The most powerful political
machine ever known in the history
of the state had been built up by Gov.
Foraker and for all that time it had
achieved one success after another.
The Democracy was Respondent and
hopeless and when the time came for
the nomination of a governor no man
could be found willing to accept the
doubtful honors. By common con-
sent James E. Campbell was agreed
upon and only after the Republican
blunder Of a third term was there
contention for the Democratic nomi-
nation. But prior to that at the cor
responding period of the year gloom
and despair pervaded the ranks. Six
years have come and gone and to-day
the Ohio Democrats, under the shad-
ow of defeats measured by 80, 900 and
137, 900 majority are beginning to feel
that sexennial fate will once more
give them the governor and the leg
islature. Ever since the Old Roman
led the Democracy to victory in 1867
they have kept a senator in the up
per branch of the national congress.
No matter how
CALLING THE DEFEATS,
how dark the future, a Democratic
senator has constantly sat in the SEN
ate of the U. s. through all these
years-the length of one generation
of man. This year it belongs to the
Democracy to maintain the advan-
tages they have had for almost &c
years. Like flower opening its pc
tails to the invisible dewsof night their
hopes are gradually unfolding as Re

asunder. No political party ever went
into battle handicapped by so many
fatuities as the Republicans will this
year. They are under the odium anC
