THE SITUATION IN OHIO.
The Political Views of Philip Roth-
enbush, of Hamilton.

Philip Rothenbush, prominent Repuo-
lican of Hamilton, Ohio, and captain IN
the Thirty-fifth Ohio Regiment, OF which
II. V. Boynton was major during the civil
war, stopped in Washington yesterday on
his way home from the recent Grand Army
encampment at Philadelphia. Captain
Rothenbush believes that the coming cam
paign in Ohio will be one of the hottest
political contests in the history Oh the
State.
Both parties" said he, will make>the
effort of their lives TO win the election. Of
course, | think the Republicans Will sue
ceed We have a first-rate candidate In
Judge Nash. and he will come as near
polling the full party vote as any man
We could have nominated. But We all
realize that John r. Mclean has lot OF
vim and vigor, and that he will make a
rafting fight till sundown on the 7th of
November He's splendid organizer, and
he's better equipped than any other man
in the Democratic ranks to get the party
in shape in time for the election. He
knows politics from A to 2, is resource
full leader and has no end of political ex-
pedients for accomplishing his purpose
In spite of all that, though, he will be
beaten.
Il believe that the people OF Ohio are
satisfied with the Federal Administration,
and that they will emphasize their en-
dorsement in this election. great ma
jority of our voters have confidence in the
President We especially endorse his poll
icy of expansion. Republicans do not fear
the Democrats on that ISSUE l believe
that the Democratic candidate would have
had good deal better show of election if
they had not put that anti-expansion plank
in the platform. There may be good
deal of loud talk in certain quarters
against our holding on to the Philippines,
but the thinking people all over the State
are in favor of fighting the war to an end
and of keeping for all time the CONNER
cial advantages which came to us properly
and legally by accident in the Orient. As
the campaign wears on l am confident that
the voters will be properly instructed on
the Philippine war, and that they will be
eager to demonstrate to the country that
| Ohio is in favor Of fighting our way to an
honorable peace, and of maintaining the
sovereignty of the United States in the
Philippine Islands"

PROTEST OF THE ZOUAVES.
The Butler Organization Resents Sus-
picionS of Possible Disorder.

The Butler Zouaves and the Langston
Monument and National Emancipation So
cieties held a meeting Saturday night and
protested against the action OF the mayor
of Warrenton, Va, in requesting the Gov
ernor of Virginia to refuse permission to
the Butler Zouaves to carry their guns
with them when they visit Warrenton on
September %. The protest is signed by
Capt. W. T. Thompson Lieut.. w. I. Her.
ron, NJ. L. Robinson, Adjutant w. C.
Payne, and T. H. Cooper. 1t reads in part
as follows:
The Butler Zouaves and National Emancipation
Association, in joint assembly, review with re-
gret your protest against the peaceable visit Of
the Butler Zouave Infantry Corps to Warrenton.
While it is amusing to have the authorities
uneasy about our ''arms, " which are only relics
of I7I6, resent the humiliating ndignity in
a civil manner, that the mayor thrusts upon
organization by pleading fear of mob rio-
lence at the hands of men of our race. If
there was any cause for apprehension on the
mayors part, there seems to be little or no wis
dom in his advertising the fact that there are
two white men in jail at Warrenton charged with
criminal assault upon woman of our race. In
asInuch as the excursion has been arranged it
will be run to Warrenton, even though we must
leave our old carbines behind We wish to have
1t known that we do not know, nor do we be-
lieye, man to be guilty of crime until he
has been tried by court and jury, and so Judged
We condemn crime. Especially do we abhor
the kind herein mentioned. but we think to
lynch an innocent person is a thousand times
worse than any other crime. And the MAYOR

depend the aid of our people to helm SUP.
