Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. Coumpos, Onto, April % The favorable mention made by the lead- ing democratic newspapers of the coun- try of the name of Governor Campbell in - connection with the national dem- ccratic nomination leads Ohio democrats to think, in spite of the governor's repeated declarations, that he could not afford to accept the nomination for the vice presidency and would not do so if it were offered to him, that he stands a very good chance of recognition by his party in convention at Chicago. The appearance of the voluminous and very com- plimentary article in last Sunday's issne of = New York paper has given rise to the sus- icion that, after all, ex-Gov. Campbell has no Face of retiring trom political lite, if he has not in fact set fis eye upon a place on the na- tional demoeratic ticket. This construction is ail the more apt to be put upon the matter since it is known here that the article in ques- tion was written by the governor's private sec- retary, Claude Meeker. GOV. CAMPRELL’s PosITIOX. ‘Tux Stan correspondent interviewed a prom- inent Ohio democrat, who is a member of the state senate committee representing an eastern county and is on intimate terms with the ex- governor, as to Mr. Campbell's immediate political future. Said he: “I think the governor is sincere when be says he dees not want the nomination for the vice presidency and that he cannot afford it As is generally known the governor has been unfortunate in some of his fiuancial transac- tions and came out of the oftice of governor of Ohio, as did both of his predecessors, Gove. Foraker and Hoadly, quite ® good deal behind. He has at once embarked in business connected with his legal, profession and is fast recouping his losses. I do not think it strange that a young man of activity and in the financial cir- ‘cumsiances of ex-Gov. Cuiupbeli should not de- sire the office of Vice President of the United States. “Jt is my opinion that ex-Gov. Camp- boll thinks there is a chance for him to secure the nomiuation for the presidency. He is not uuwise enough to push himself forward, but ix keeping himeel!, it will be noticed, in en atti- tude very favorable to secure the second chvice of the national democracy. In my opinion there is no other democrat in the country so likeiy to seeure the democratic nomivation for the presidency sould Cleveland's nomination become impos:ibie. GOV. HILL Nor IN IT. “Governor Hill has not been ‘in it’ at any stage of the game. He has been an impossi bility from the very first. He scems to have been a shrewd politician in his work in New York stute, but he certainly docs not under- stand human nature as it crops out in the American people. if he did he would know that as soon as a public man Legins to push himself upon the people as a leader his por larity begins to wane. In the lnst four mouths ithas beca very apparent that Gov. Hill has been pushing his candidacy and in that time his boom has subsided from considerab portior nothing. His friend go willingly to Goy. Campbell, and as Gov. Campbell is a close friend of Sir. Cleveland and stands exactly with Mr. Cleveland on both his silver aud tariff principles the Cleveland men would not object to him.” “But, don't you think the fact that Ohio is so strongly a republican state that Gov. Campbell could not draw it into the democratic column would operate against his nominat.on?” 1d itever occur to you,” he said, “that the’democratic nomination for the presidency this year is likely to be made with a view to suiting the democracy of ail sections and not of any parti ‘hat idea I think will prevail at Cl . Now, Gov. Crimpbelt is practicn! western man; at least in what are called the casiern states he is so regarded. Br Teawon of his residence in that section he will Le acceptable to the democracy of the west. His position on the silver question and the tariff wakes him strong with the democrats of the eusiern states. Understand me, I au. strongly in favor of the nomination of Mr. ‘levcland, but Ihave been thinking along the cated beeauxe I anticipate that as soon as it beconies apparent to the men who have been supporting Gov. Hill that his nomination will be imposeibic they will cast about them for some other candidate with which to prevent the nomination of Mr. Cleveland. I reach this conclusion from the fact that it appears very plain that the men who have been supporting Gov. Hill and urging his nomination are simply anti-Cleveland and nothing more.” LEADING DEMOCRATS CONFER, There lias beena consultztion between the leading democrats here this week that may re- flect some light upon what is given above. A soon as Gov. Campbell retarned from Rhode Island he was met here by Dr. C. A. ‘Tifin, chairman of the state ci James 1s. Yownsend of Lima, ex-chairman of the democratic executive committee: John K. Brice of Lima, brother of ‘or Brice; Col. A. C, Carlisle, member of the state central com + end Al W. Thurman. Tuese gentlemen remained bere three days, but gave 10 information as to their busines N 8 vet been issued by Chairman Nor- ton for assembling the state centrai committee jo fix time jace for holding the state con- vention. mber of the state central com- It seems. to be the prevailing idea in the committee that | there sh be time for a crystalization of the of the purty in the «tate, and that it e the delegates to Chicago come us fresh from the people as possible. It may be also that the friends of Gov. Campbeil wish to+0 delay matters us to be able it now and ma. Its quite cert: Leniocrats held anywhere in the stute now would ledge thedelegates to vote for Cleveland for the ai nomination, except possibiy in the nati, where the Hill movement has attained its greatest proportions, but it is hardly likely that even there it woud be able to revent, although it might object to so pledg- ing the delegates. Sens aeS A SUBMANINE Boar. Jules Verne’s Iden Given a Successful Trial in the Detroit River. The nameless submarine boat that bas been building at Detroit the past winter was on Saturday given a thorough trial under water and proved to be a succes in every particular. With a crew of threo on board the bout started from its dock on the River Rouge, just below the city, and at first skimmed along over the surface toward the Detroit river. It was then submerged, going down gradually and under perfect control of the pilot. Under water the boat was able to attain a speed of over ten miles an hour, to turn round, rise or sink with the greatest ease. ‘The boat was submerged several times under different circumstances and proved that the pecuiiarly constructed propeliers were well adapted for their purpose. It was also proven that in sinking or rising the boat maintained a horizontal position, a matter of great import- ance in a submarine boat, Tho boat is equipped to run by steam ower while on the surface, but underneath fhe water the motive po r comes from a Powerful slectric storage battery, the cells ing chasged by the same engine that ru: the boat on the surface. The present boat was built only as an experiment. It is of the shape of a thick cigar, with pointed ends and com- pressed sides, being forty feet long, fourteen feet deep and niue feet beam.
