VICTORY IN OHIO.

From The New York Journal
Ex-Governor James T. Campbell, of Onio'
was at the Fifth Avenue hotel last night
having come to Gotham to attend 10 some
private business. In conversation with
reporter ne predicted success for the demo-
cratic ticket ut the coming ran election 10
be held In Ohio.
Il am absolutely confident that the demo
cratic ticket will be successful this year,
said he. II believe the state Is surely
democratic"
How about the legislatureY' was asked
81 believe that We will not only carry our
state ticket through but we Will have
majority in the legislature and send a
democrat to the United States senate to
succeed Senator Hanna.
In that event who do you think VIII De
the senator? ~
John r. Mclean IL the only candidate
in the field at present"
ITO what do you attribute the change OF
sentiment in favor of the democracy IN
Ohio?"
There are several reasons for IT, Ihere
has been "A natural reaction OF IeehhS sliCS
last year. Results are what people want
from political victories nowadays. They
pounded the Cleveland administration De
cause there was a panic. and now they are
pounding Mckinley owing 10 the absence
of the promised prosperity. The people are
looking TO results now more than they are
to party principles.
Asked what effect the coinage question
wound have the ex-governor replied:
"The state OF Ohio Is for free silver To-Day
by 4 very considerable majority In my
Judgment the state would have gone Tor
Bryan last fall If the Chicago platform
had declared simply for free silver In al
dition to the ordinary democratic dec
trines."

Raleigh. n. c., July H.-(Special)-Sen-
ator Buffers paper today contains an edi-
torial signed by him in which he says;
.-Tbose who attended the Nashville con-
ference most of whom were self-constituted
delegates representing nobody but them
selves. issued an address and appointed
national committee representing their fac
ton. They charged that certain populists
desired to kill the peoples party or turn
n over TO the democratic party and claim
ed they represented the only true popuilsts
who could be trusted to be faithful Now.
If there is single populist In the Ohl'ed
states who is in favor of disbandng the
organization or of turning II over to the
democratic party we do not know him.
There are certainly not as many such as
there are so-called populists who did all

otherwise TO elect Mckinley, and 1t IS no.
tioeabIe that some of this latter class were
loudest in clamoring for this conference
They declare they desire to see the divisions
end ordinations among the populists
cease. These have been inaugurated and
carried on largely by those clamoring for
the conference. They foolishly attempted
TO belittle the silver question by saying
trusts and monopolles were the great evils
and tho free coinage of silver would not
help in remedylnS those evils. An Increase
of gold money, silver money or paper
money will cause prices to rise TO just
level and such a rise will cause a very
large number of the most oppressive trusts
to vanish. 1t Is the worst kind of politics
to attempt to bcl.ttle a question which.

TO bolt or To cal separate convention
they would have but little following and
the party without them would be In better
conditions 10 grow and gain recruits When
