OHIO AND INDIANA.
The Former Doubtful Latter
Pretty Sure For The Democracy.

MIR. Frank A. Richardson, the well known,
well-ntormed. conservative and reliable cor
respondent OF the Baltimore Sun, Is taking
observations upon the political sltuati"n. con
ditoum> aud probabilities M the West.
OHIO.
OF OHIO he says the Democrats have real
hope OF carrying the State. The Democrats are
active and enthusiastic, while the Republicans
are somewhat Indifferent and the managers are
depending upon cash to make up for 1t. In
Cincinnati says Mr.. Richardson, four years
ago there were Republican headquarters OF
some kind or other III nearly every block.
They are not to be found now, and there is
scarcely Mckinley banner IN the business
districts. where there were hundreds and hun
dreds in 1896. Says Mr. Richardson: The
Democrats IN their meetings nave scarcely
touched upon the question of sllver but have
confined themselves to trusts and Imperialism.
The voters of Ohio certainly take an interest
in both these paramount issues. Over the
Rhine mutterings about trusts are heard just
rs in the street cars and Just AS among that
great army which carries the dinner pail.
The endless chain prayer for the defeat of
Mckinley. started by the WCman's Christian
Temperance Union, ascends daily from the
homes of Ohio Republican women are thick
among the supplicants, and when Republican
wives are praying daily for a particular thing
it is not unlikely to have more or less effect
upon Republican husbands. 1t Is claimed
the result OF this endless chain invocation will
be the diversion Of some thousands OF Repub-
lican votes to the Prohibition ticket.
The German voters do not like the MchIn-
ley policy of Imperialism. the Cuban postal
frauds are much discussed and the candidacy
of Eugene V. Debs is alarming the Republl-
cans In summing up Mr.. Richardson be-
lievcs that Ohio may be caSsed as doubtful
INDIANA.
Writing from Indianapolis, Mr.. Richard
SON SAYS he has been an observer m Indiana
10 every presidential contest since 1870 and
he never saw the Democracy IN such splendid
condition or more confident of success. The
Democrats have sufficient money for all legit.
innate purposes, and will have watchers at
every precinct 10 see fair ballot and honest
count As 10 the German vote he SAYS:
1T is not hearSay, but evidence OF the most
positive character. that split exits among
the German Republicans IN this State. When
they are acting by the dozens As officers of
Democratic meetings and when they sre send
