ed. but a State Legislature is to be chosen which
IA to elect a United States Senator. The advo-
Gates OF free silver have decided to make their
final contest in this State this year They ere
full of hope, and boldly announce that no pains
will be spared to carry Ohio. Bryan is to be
brought into the State and every other orator
OF note who can be secured to talk In favor OF
deprecated currency. John r. Mclean, the

The contest over the selection of the chairman
of the State Executive Committee has exci'eu
O. great deal of interest among the proIessioh"i

The Republicans are probably more harmonious
this year than they have been in state cam
paign for decade. and the fact that Governor
Bushnell, who represents the so-caled foFakeI
wing of the party. and Senator Hahhe Who
represents the other wing. are both deepi! anu
