sICKENED BY DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT
Two years Of Democratic Administration ana
a Democratic Congress have served In Onio' as
elsewhere, TO develop violent counter-current OF
public sentiment and to convert the former
anti-Republican bias Of the laboring classes INTO
an active and vigorous aversion to Democratic
leadership and Democratic policies. The fuhda-
mental error Of the Brice-Campbell campaign
lies In the assumption that the bitter experience
of the last two years under a Democratic crusaue

BRIcEs CHOICE OF CAMPBELL JUSTIFIED
Mr. Campbells personal canvass has. in fact
alone rescued the Democratic campaign from
hopeless failure. The reasons which induced
him t. lead the party again this year and 70

the coalition struck at Springfield have already
been fully discussed. That next Tuesdays cleo

ESTIMATES OF THE VOTING.
What will be the outcome OF this erratic per-
sonal canvass no one can tell. II will be lucky
for Mr. Campbell. however. II in the teeth OF
the Irritation Of sentiment still lingering against
sl things Democratic he can poll many votes
this year as with an equally distinct groundswen
in his favor he polled in 1891. In that year he
got 3e5 900 votes against 3S6.oOO for Major Nc
Kinley. and the two totals fairly represent he
normal difference in strength between the two
parties In 1892 General Harrison polled 4OoOoo,
against 404 900 for Mr.. Cleveland. In 1893 the
Republican total rose to $4,000 and the Demo-
cratic fell to 352 900. Last year the figures were
$4,000 and 276G00. 1t will be seen that the
maximum Of Democratic voters in the State Is
between $4,000 and 100000. and the maximum
Republican vote about 10000.
Last year 2j.010 Democrats voted the Populist
ticket and the famous General Coxey. OF the
"Commonweal Army fame. now the Populist
candidate for Governor. Is trying to hold their
