Ohio presents an encouraging condi-

of success.
In Iowa the republicans are badly
frightened. and their panic is made
manifest through their untruthful
statements as TO the political beliefs
of the democratic candidate for gov
ernor. Unable 10 meet the arguments
oftheir opponents. and recognizing that
the hypocrisy and TaIsshood of their
campaign promises during the last
presidential contest have been fully ex-
posed, the republicans are forced 10 re-
sort to Misrepresentation of the posi-
ton taken by the democrats.
The situation in the three great states
referred to is largely encouraging. Dur
ing the presidential campaign Ken

Palmer and Buckner. while the demo-
Gratis cast 21S, 900 ballots for William

sturdy but mistaken Buckner aud the
volcanic Watterson are about all there
is to the gold democracy of Kentucky.
These gentlemen viii make good deal

Last fall they succeeded ia electing a
