DEMOCRAcYs OUTLOOK IN OHIO.

! S-~-@~A - - - @A-SOAN IN O4A1Os
The Atlanta Constitution calls
attention to the fact that inter-
esting political battles will be
fought in six States of the Union
during the next few months, and
from present indications the is
sues involved in each contest
will precipitate some lively fight
ing. In Ohio, Massachusetts,
Iowa, and Virginia elections for
Statehouse officers are to be
held, while in Maryland and
Kentucky various subordinate
but important offices are to be
filled. For an "off'' year it is
likely that the present one will
be lively enough.
Of course the State of Ohio
will furnish the most warmly
contested battle ground of the
year. In the late campaign it
will be remembered that, despite
the feeling of State pride occa-
stoned by the selection of Ohio's
candidate for the presidential
nomination and despite the
shrewd manipulstions of the re-
publican boss himself, Ohio
gave the republican ticket a bare
majority of only $4,000 votes out
of a total of something over
/, 100000 votes cast. The exact
figures are as follows: McKin-
ley, 525,991; Bryan, 474,882;
Palmer, 1857. Since last No
vember public sentiment in the
Buckeye State has. undergone
radical changes, and were anoth-
er State election to be held at
this time it is morally certain
that Ohio would swing into the
democratic column. This
changed condition of things is
due to the failure of the present
administration to redeem its
pledges. In spite of the glowing
visions of prosperity, sketched
by republican weather prophets
in the last campaign, the country
continues to suffer under the OPP
pressive incubus of hard times,
and there seems to be no imme-
date hope of relief. Trade Isl
virtually at a standstill, and
from all parts of the country
comes the furnishing cry of dis
appointed labor. In this unhap-
Ply crisis it is not surprising to !
hear that thousands who voted
the republican ticket in the last
election are heartily Disguised
with themselves for having been
so easily duped. Especially is
this feeling strongly emphasized
in Ohio, and the approaching
State election is destined to make
some amazing disclosures. Even
so conservative a newspaper as
the Washington Post is forced to
admit that the situation is in
volved in grave doubt, and that
the republican party in the State
has abundant cause for appre-
hension.
Upon the character of the
State legislature to be elected
this fall depends the political
destiny of Senator Mark Hanna,
who is putting forth every effort
to accomplish his reelection to
the senate. If the legislature is
he will, of course,
succeed himself. but otherwise,
the senatorial toga will fall upon
democratic shoulders.
Without making extravaganza
predictions at this early stage of
the campaign it suffices to OBJ
serve that the situation in the
Buckeye state is most encour-
aging.
IT is said that for sixty seven

GENERAL BOYNTON REPLIES.


Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Commander A. B. Stevens, of Ezra
Griffin Post, Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, like all other critics of the letter on
pensions to the New York Sun. which
you did me the honor to copy. finds it
necessary to set up case of his own
for attack, which cannot be found cith-
er in the letter or in your comments
upon it
Such cases as those of General SickleS
and General Beaver. to which he aludes
with so much warmth. were especially
referred to in the letter as veterans whose
disabilities so impeded and limited their
efforts in the race of life that no pen
sion, however liberal, could compensate
them for the loss which their disabilities
imposes II Commander Stevens read the
letter with sufficient care to Justify him
in criticsnG it ntelligcntly. he could
not have failed to see this. His best.
therefore, appears to be artificial His
reference TO these distinguished and most
seriously disabled officers sounds very
much like an effort on his part to bring
forward these cases Of signal merit. as
an impregnablc line behind which to form
himself i'm reserve. The process of thus
enrolling himself in this class of most
deserving pensioners seems to resemble
that Of the man, who called attention
to the fact that great men seemed to DE
uNlnS OH rapidly, ana lhal no uld not
feel very well himself.
1t is not strange, 10 a degree that
makes il marvellous, that Commander
Stevens "Coud not help a sentiment OF
indignation when reading the article
"(New York SUM" and the comments on
the same i'm your paper, He assigns as a
reason that During the war 10000 loyal
men laid down their lives 100000 Union
soldiers and sailors We're made crippleS
for life: and since the war 100000 vet
erans have died premature deaths, leav-
ing, in all, more than 2,G)O000 devoted
mothers, widows and orphans to mourn
their loved ones"
Here he approaches the essentials OF
the case, though he fails TO see that he
presents ii TO his undoing. Those who
advocate pension reform proceed upon
the proposition that if the unworthy the
undeserving and those whose disabilities
no longer exist, and who, from being
fully able to live in comfort, do not
need them, would be striken from the
rolls, the nation would be better able
TO keep all the deserving veterans, or the
widows and orphans of such from want.
Commander Stevens, however seems to
belong to that large class of wealthy
veterans, TO whom even a doubt of be-
ing able to command a comfortable sup
port through life, has never suggested
itself but who, by taking pensions, stand
directly i'm the way of the more liberal
treatment of the classes, which he names,
and which 1t was the purpose of the Sun
article and your comments to help.
