From our regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, September 17.-Boss Hanna
ia frig htened about Ohio. That is the alarm
ing news whispered in inner Republican cir
Giles. That is why Mr.. Mckinley is now at
Canton. instead of being in the White House.
Instead of resting, he is comforting with Ohio
Republican leaders, setting up plans which he
hopes will stop the Bryan wave which threat
ems to sweep over the State and which has been
rapidly increased by the recent presence of
Col Bryan IN the State. There Is no doubt
there is a decidedly panickY feeling among
those Republicans who know the situation,n mot
| only as to Ohio, but as to other States, which
i short time ago were considered absolutely
| certain to give their electoral votes to Nc
i Kinley. They recognize that the Democratic
i tide is rising and that if they cannot stop II,
| Col. Bryan will be elected. They are relying
mostly upon money to help them, and, not
| withstanding all the talk about Hanna not
having all the money he wants, it is known
| that he has more Aoney than he had at this
stage of the campaign four years ago, and that
| he is making plans that will call for the sx-
penditure of a larger sum than WAS paid out
in the campaign of 1895. If money can elect
Mr.. Mckinley again, he will win. The big
trusts, the existence of which is at stake, will
see to that, knowing that II Mr.. Mckinley wins
they can make the consumers of the country
| pay back with big interest all their campaign
| contributions.
Ohio Democrats in W ashington held a meeting
Saturday night for the purpose of talking over
the situation among themselves. No reporters
| were present, and no person was allowed to
attend who was not a voter in Ohio, and whose
Democracy was not unquestioned. 1t would
not do to write what was done and said at that
| meeting, but it is no violation of confidence to
| say that those who attended are confident that
| Bryan and Stevenson have a fighting chance
to carry Ohio, and are determined to work
hard for victory,

Jumping Contest.

Mr.. shriver who has charge Of the jumping
contests at the coming county Fair has de-
cided this year to introduce steeple chases in
addition to the jumping contests. MIR. Diffen-
darffer, whose horses, FOX" and sack
Frost" will be remembered BY their remark
allie jumping last year at the Fair will lay
out the course. Already seven or eight horses
from Green Spring Valley and Towson have
baen entered and this feature OF the Fair
promises to be as attractive as 1t was at
Timonium where these steeple cbases were
considered the most exciting feature Of each
day. 1t is to be hoped that some Hartford
horses will be entered In this race SO that the
bnnors be kept at home and strangers who
bring their horses to the county will find that
tie name which Hartford has always had for
good horses is well deserved.
