Is OHIO IN DOUBT.

The Ohio campaign is becoming
more and more interesting. Even the
Chicago Chronicle. whose editor and
correspondents q few weeks ago
predicted an overwhelming victory for
the republicans, now confess that the
state may be in doubt. The Washing
ton correspondent for the Chronicle, in
dispatch to his paper under date OF
october 8, said that he was informed
by reliable democrats who are I'M
placably hostile to Tom johnson that
according to the present outlook
Senator Hanna Is in grave danger OF
losing the legislature. These
authorities say that Tom johnson and
bis associates have completely out
classed the republican leaders IN the
management of the campaign. The
Chronicle correspondent says; I'm
the language of former democratic
member of congress from Ohio, who
is openly hostile to johnson ana who
views the course OF events in that
st .ts with keen regret, the republican
campaign, up to the present time. has
BEEN o complete frost. johnson has
1tdrawn Senator Hanna at his meet
ings. He seems to have made deeper
and better impression upon the
people.
The former democratic members OF
congress interviewed by the Chronicle
correspondent further explains: 1.-The
trouble with Senator Hanna IS that he
has completely abandoned the methods
which have won success for him in
uoIitics. Instead of lighting johnson
with his own weapons he undertook
70 sheer hin out of the campaign. de
could not have conceived plan more
to .Johnson's liking, for, whatever one
NAV think of Tom and his peculiar
rieas. YOU must give him credit, for
possessing brains. Just as soon as he
saw what Hanna was doing he began
to barrass the old man and caused him
TO lose his temper in the most out
rageous way. The natural and IN
eyitable result of this sort OF thing
was revision of sentiment In favor
of johnson and the democratic ticket.
I was one democrat OF hundreds In
Ohio and lsewhere who te'ieved that
when johnson was nominated ne
would be defeated by log, COO. IL Is
unfortunate that Hanna fell into
the blunder which is now threaten
ing him with defeat. We VINO
oppose johnson are hoping THAT
there will be a turn in the tide
after the 10Th OF the present month,
but the republicans will have to
wake up and use their best efforts
to bring it about.
