Ohio" said Mr.. Herrick. often has
her own views on public questions. She
often begins wrong. but invariably ends
right. She was welded to free silver

both In November. The claim Of the
Democrats that they are responsible for
present prosperity there Is like the crow
OF the rooster at dawn.
ohio has a very large labor popula.
ton. That class of voters takes up any
thlng now affecting themselves with
great liveliness. Now the very lively
interest they are showing in the Wilson
