THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
Chairman Dick Discusses the PoIit-
icai Outlook.

Charles t. Dick, chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee of Ohio, arrived
in Washington yesterday from New York
where he had been for two days in con-
ference with Marcus A. Hanna and other
Republican leaders in reference to the
political outlook in the Buckeye State Mr..
DICK will remain in Washington until to-
night. when he will leave for Cleveland.
He will doubtless call upon the President
today and report to Mr. Mckinley the re-
suits of the important New York confer
ence.
Mr.. Dick believes that the campaign in
his State this year will be sharp, animal
ing, and exciting. and he predicts conf
IDENTIFY that the Republicans viii win.
We are quite satisfied, said he yes
terday, with the political situation in
Ohio. We are convinced that we shall
carry the State for the Republican ticket
by an exceedingly large majority. We have
.lot done much talking so far, but we have
been steadily at work mapping out the
campaign and organizing the party
throughout the State. / am sure We have
got the party machinery in as good shape
today as it has ever been during the past
thirty years. Republicans in every coun-
ty are alive to their duty and they will
perform it in the November election to the
high satisfaction of the people of Ohio.
81 go to Cleveland Wednesday night to
make ready for the opening of the cam
paign in Akron On September %. Senator
Hapnn wi in in CIara1nnd Friday
evening. He will go from New York direct
to Ohio, not stopping in Washington, as
has been stated. There is no necessity for
his coming here. He is naturally interest
ed in the campaign, and will take active
part in its preparation and execution. he
will be a tower of strength to the party IN
Ohio, and his return to prominent leader
ship will be welcomed by all Republicans.
Senator Hanna is in excellent health, IN
spite of reports to the contrary, and he
will be able to enlist his whole heart and
strength in the Ohio campaign.
Governor Bushnell, OF Ohio, and Cover
nor Roosevelt of New York, will arrive in
Cleveland Saturday morning at 2 o'clock
on their way to Akron. Senator Hanna and
/ will join them at Cleveland and ride
over to Akron on an early morning train
at Akron with an address by Governor
Roosevelt, who will be accompanied by
Governor Bushnell. 1t has been said that
Governor Bushnell and his friends are not
in love with the Republican ticket. 1t
has been reported that Senator Foraker's
following in Ohio was somewhat apathetic
in this campaign, and that number OF
disappointed Republican would attempt to
resent the dominant leadership of the
party. All these reports. studiously circu-
lated by cur Democratic friends, have no
foundation in fact. Ohio Republicans are
united and harmonious and they will sup
port Judge Nash with loyalty and enthu-
siasm. The fact that Governor Bushnell,
who is a close friend of Senator Foraker
and Of the alleged Forakerites, is going
ever to Akron to start the ball rolling is
sufficient TO prove that we shall have the
support of that faction of Ohio Republicans.
I believe that there is now no friction any
where in the party, and l am convinced
that We shall elect our candidate for Gov
ernor, Judge Nash
