THE OHIO ELECTION.

The press of the Eastern States is CIV
ing no little attention to a consideration
OF the approaching State election in Ohio,
where the issues involved are not only the
election OF Governor, but United
States Senator. 1t is known that the
Democrats will make every effort to carry
the State, and the outcome seems to be
regarded in some quarters as sufficiently
uncertain to render speculations concern
ing 1t of general interest.
1t is difficult TO see upon what grounds
the Democrats base their hopes OF success.
The Republicans carried Ohio for McKin-
ley last year by plurality OF 48, 494 votes.
In the State contest they were even more
successful than in the Presidential vote.
and at present the Legislature stands liz
Republicans to 81 Democrats. 1t will GER
tainly take an immense change in public
sentiment to overturn such maiorities as
these, and there is nothing in the present
situation to justify belief that any such
change has taken place.
For many years there has been in Ohio
strong factional fight in the Republican
ranks. These dissensions have not infre.
quently led to Democratic successes, and
the war the Democrats have had one Sem
ator from Ohio, and at certain times thew
had both. Ii there were any evidences of
continuance OF these factionaI disputes
this year, we could understand on what
the Democrats were counting for sue
cess. but there is no such evidence to be
found in anything of recent occurrence in
Ohio politics.
The Republicans have determined to
make an early beginning of the campaign
and conventions have already been held
in many counties. These have shown that
the party is we'll nigh unanimous in sun.
porting Governor Bushnell for re.ele ction
and Mark Hanna for the Senate. There ba,
bsen no appearance of any decided opposi-
ton in any county, and where the delegates
have not been instructed for Bushnell and
Hanna they have been left free to act IA
they think best when the State conven-
ton assemb les.
While harmony is thus well assured in
the Republican ranks there are abundant
manifestations of discord among the Dem
ocrats. The old fight between the silver
and the gold wings of the party remains to
be fought out. II is fair to assume the
silver wing will win, and the gold Demo-
Gratis, therefore, will act with the Rspub-
lican party in the State election as they did
in the Presidential contest. Estimating
the vote on that basis there is every assuf-
ance tnat the Republican victory will be
about as complete es it was last year. and

THE TARIFF DEBATE.

Few speeches have been waited for with
more interest by the country at large than
that with which Senator Aldrich is ex-
pected to open the tariff debate to-day.
The revisions made IN the Dingley bill by
his committee, while in some respects i'm
proving the measure, have not as a whole
been satisfactory to the people. 1t is not
| the measure the country expected from
such noted tariff experts and stanch pro-
tectionists as are the men who compose
the Republican party of the Finance Com
mittee, and it is therefore with no little
eagerness the people wait to hear the argu-
ment that is to be advanced for it.
Mr.. Dingley has. of course, abstained
from any extended criticisms on the
changes made in his bill by the Senators,
but he has pointed out briefly some serious
objections TO them. The most notable OF
these is the increase of duties On beer and
cigarettes, and the establishment of a
dutyNon tea, while lowering the duties on
high grade woods, dried fruits and wine.
Ii more revenue were needed than the
Dingley bill provided, why lower the
duties which would have afforded protec-
ton as we'll as revenue? If more revenue
were not needed why should We have a
duty on tea and beer?
1t is difficult to understand how Sena-
tors Aldrich. Morrill,, Plat of Connecticut
and Jones Of Nevada were induced to con-
sent TO the proposed duty on tea. 1t az
fordS no protection TO any American in.
dustry, and imposes on a necessary of life
a tax which will fall much heavier on the
poor than on the rich In proportion TO
their means. All the revenue TO be ex-
pected from it could be raised much better
by restoring the Dingiey duties on dried
fruits, wines and the higher class of wool.
There is in fact no need whatever to sacri-
flee the principle of protection in order to
raise Tor the Government an income equal
to its expenditure.
Whatever Senator A,drich and his COL
leagues on the Finance Com mittee may
say in it's defense, their bill is not at all
likely 10 be accepted by the Senate in tie
form in which it has been reported. The
antagonism of the people TO the duty on
tea has already become so pronounced
that this feature of the measure is sure to
be removed The question will then arise
as to the best means of making up the
revenue which would have been derived
from the tea duties. On that point there
may be some differences of opinion. 1t is
not easy to see, however, how the West
ern argument for higher duties on fruits
and wines can be answered or ignored
when the question is considered, and it
would seem therefore that our battle for
protection to Californian industries is in a
fair way to be won by reason of the popu-
lar opposition 10 the duty on tea,

candidate either for the governorship or

appears probable that Paul R. Sorg will
be their candidate for Governor and John
