The Democrats believe that a Wet
DRY for silver in Ohio this year would
be OF great significance, and would be
construed by the nation as a rebuke
on the part Of the people of McKin-
Ieys W State to the policy Of his

stated in a letter which he sent out TO

cept his campaign literature, the cam
palgn on the part OF the Democrats is
to be conducted on the still-hunt plan
until the speechmaking campaign is
opened, about the middle OF Septem-
Der, n then an aggressive attack is
to be made. 1t is said that Governor
Bushnell Is to be forced to either accent
