GRoSyENoR.S ROSY VIEW.
He Relieves That the Republican
VIII Win Easily in Ohio.


Representative Charles H. Grosyenor Of
Ohio talked politics reseTvediy to
a reporter for The Times when seen last
night at the Hotel Cochran
Mr.. Grosvenor has just returned from
Europe, whittier he went early in July in
search OF health and recreation He is look
ing well and apparently regards the poli-
tical situation in Ohio with quiet eomplac-
eney. Though somewhat disineiired to
talk he stated that Ohio would. In his opin-
ion, give the normal Republican plurality
this year and that he would not be sur
prised to see Nash elected by a large ma
jority. He believes that the Republicans
of Ohio are united and harmonious: that
Senator Foraker's friends will ardeutly
support the Republican ticket He stated
his belief that the McKssson faction has
never been alienatsd from the party aad
added that Mark Hanna Is stiu the recog-
nized and popular leader OF Ohio Republi-
cans
Il am not prepared 10 discuss politics.
said Mr. Grosyenor. i've just come hOEne
and don't know much about the political
situation. went to Europe for a rest and
dropped everything but recreation while I
was away. | haven't followed the develop
ments OF the past two months accurately,
and for that reason / am not disposed az
present TO discuss in detail the Ohio situa-
ton.
Il believe that we shall carry the state
by safe Republican plurality. Ohio has
been going Republican steadily for the last
ten years. and there is no good reason why
We should not win again this year The
party Is. so far as / can judge, united IN
its support of the Republican ticket
There are, to my knowledge. no factions
and no friction in the Republican ranks
this year Nash Is a good clean strong
candidate. and he viii poll the FUN party
vote ALI this talk about Republican dis
sensions IN Ohio is nonsense There is no
lack OF harmony among Ohio Republicans
The friends of Senator Foraker viii sup
port the ticket Foraker himself will be
on the stump IN a few days and he will
be heard from in no uncertain tone The
mckisson following in Cleveland has not
been alienated from the Republican party
They will. | am sure, vote for the Re
| publican nominees.
The only thing / have heard that is at
al alarming is this report about Governor
Bushnell and his friends. Thsrs seems to
be feeling that he has consented to GER
/ tain concessions and that he and his lends
will not cordially line up for Judge Nash.
40 HOl Deie.e tnat report has any fou1-
dation in fact.
The claim of the Democrats that the
cities will vote against the Republican can
didate is absurd l believe that the three
counties OF Cuyahoga, Hamilton. and Luz
cas-, in which are situated respectively the
cities of Cleveland. Cincinnati and Toe
do. and which gave NICK nley a piGrsIity
of 2S,0o0 in 1895. will give Nash a safe ma
jority this year.
"Cuyahoga county viii go Strongly Pc
publican. There is no opposition to Sena-
tor Hanna there 10 speak OF. The claim
that strikes have made the Republican sit
uation bad in that community is ridieu-
lous. Mr.. Hanna's road was in no way al
fected unfavorably by the strikes. On the
contrary, it was affected very favorably.
1t is known that Senator Hanna has been
for years a consistent friend OF organized
labor. Trades unions are his fIisnds. The
people know his record and they viii en-
phasize their satisfaction with IT az the
polls in November.
Il believe that Senator Hanna's leader
ship is as popular among Republicans IN
Ohio today as it has been at any other
time during his remarkable career as a
political organizer and a polit cal captain.
He will, ! am sure, be welcomed back with
open arms by the managers and by the
rank and file OF the Republican rarity Il
