Estab. 030-10 THE OHIO. CAMPAIGN Claims Made by Bo: Democrats and Republice :s. A BIG MAJORITY 10 OVERCOME Weaknesses Charged in Both Political Parties. FEATURES OF THE CANVASS From a Staff Correspoxdent. CINCINNATI, October 30.—As Hamilton county, which includes Cincinnatl, can be fairly taken as a criterion of the political situation in the state of Ohio, a summarized statement of the condition as it exists here may interest the readers of The Star. In making this statement the writer but volces the consensus of opinion of half a dozen leading and prominent politicians of the two opposing parties. It has been my good fortune, through connectiéns happily made, to have the politicians talk frankly upon the outlook, and it is this very openness of expression upon their part which prevents the quoting of names. Inasmuch as in this instance the burden of proof may be said to Me upon the demo- crats to make good their case, the opening chapter will be devoted to presenting the causes which they claim will contribute to their victory. ‘After that the republicans will be heard in rebuttal. Th: Democratic Chance. I have not found any well posted demo- crat who honestly believes that his party is sure to carry the state of Ohio, electing a governor and legislature, in the coming election. All of them think the republican majority will be considerably reduced, and that there is a fighting chance, although remote, of carrying the state. The most conservative estimate comes from a man who is probably the best posted of all with whom I have talked, ard his idea is that the democrats have one chance in three. The fact that Ohio at the last election gave a republican majority of 137,000, and that under normal conditions the state is republican by 20,000, demands explanation of thes» rose-colored fancies and hopes of democratic victory. ‘Phe explanation as given to the writer is about as follows: In the first place confidence in Mr. Camp- bell, the democratic candidate for governor, as a good campaigner, a “favorite son” nd all-around political hustler, forms the basis. His followers believe that he is the one man in the state who can unify here- tofore existing dissensions in the party. arouse the sluggish, dissatisfied, stay-at- home element that Was largely responsible for last year's defeat, and whip the party into line to present a solid front to the enemy. It is believed that the return of good times, the revival of busine: ot the great industrial depre out the stay-at-home democratic vote and call back the erring brethren who went a-straying after republican Idols last fall. The basis for this belief here lies in the fact that there has been an increase of 7,000 in the registration in Cincinnati this and the end sion will draw fall, a majority of which, it is claimed, has developed in democratic precincts. The democratic managers are honest in their t that there nas been much greater increase in the democratic registration this fall than in the republican. It is claimed also that the democracy is united, while the republicans are suffering from factional differences over a local boss. The Sherman-Fornker Feud. One of the main features of the demo- cratic hope of profiting by republican dif- ferences is the old Sherman-Foraker feud, which, it is said, has been revived by re- cent events, namely, the publishing of Sen- ator Sherman’s memoirs, In which he re- fers to the alleged betrayal of his presi- dential interests by certain Ohio politi- cians. It is well known, of course, that the republicans ¢f this state have practi- cally indorsed the candidacy of Mr. For- aker for the United States Senate. The campaign for the legislature is being vir- tually conducted upon the understanding that if the legislature is republican Mr. Foraker will come to the Senate. It is also well understood, although far from being expressed, that Senator Snerman does not want Mr. Foraker for a colleazue. Senator Sherman's followers and friends are of the same mind. If a republican President should be elected it is claimed they would rather have Mr. Sherman in sole control of the patronage for the state, even at the expense of having one democratic Senaior, than to see Mr. Foraker come in to divide the patronage. x In democratic quarters great stress is being laid upon the appearance of Senator Sherman's spicy memoirs at this time, and the belief is openly expressed that the lengthy references to the affair which re- sulted in Mr. Sherman’s defeat and Mr. Garfield's nomination will revive the slim- bering recollections of that incident and arouse the Sherman republicans throu; out the state to action against the Forake campaign. If they can simply be irritated to the point of not voting for the Foraker candidates for the legislature, the demo- crats will be profoundly grateful. In Hamilton county the republican boss is George Cox, a Foraker man. The demo- crats claim there is disaffection to him upon two grounds—first, because he is too much of a boss, and, second, because he. is fcr Mr. Foraker. At the same time they fear him like his satannic majesty Is sup- posed to fear holy water, and are lying Awake of nights trying to catch up with his methods. What They Claim. ‘The democrats claim that if they can poll ninety per cent of their vote they can carry the state. At this stage of the game they complain bitterly of lack of funds neces- sary to carry on the legitimate work of getting the vote to the polls. The most significant feature of the situation to an outsider is the fact that the demcrats be- lieve they have a little chance of winning, if they can get their people to vote. This is stire to nerv2 them to unusual efforts to draw out the full strength of the party on election day, and will undoubtedly have a beneticial result. ‘Efforts are being made by the democrats to foist upon their opponents the responsi- bility for urging an excise law obnoxious to the class of people fond of their beer and personal liberty. A bill in the last legislature giving to one voting precinct in a township the right to overcome the ma- rity in the matter of local option is laid et the door of the republicans, who, how- ever, resent the imputation. It is claimed that a vote of some magnitude is being in- fluenced by arguments upon this line. Some of the conservative democrats, however, fear it may prove a two-edged sword, cut- ting both ways, for while republican re- sponsibility for the attempt might alienate the drinking classes, it would attract votes from opposing sources. The Republican Case. In rebuttal of the democratic claims thus set forth the republicans offer a general denial. They set their standard of victory on the top of that 137,000 majority of last year, and say, “Come and take it, if you can; you must do some great climbing to get over that stack of votes to the good.” ‘They admit that the democrats lost some- thing last fill from a stay-at-home vote, but claim that they also were represented in that element, and that the outpouring this fall of registered voters includes an equal proportion of their men. They will not admit for an instant the idea that the increased registration included a demo- cratic majority. Upon the subject of the Sherman-Foraker complication it is frankly admitted that there have been times in the past when this matter has caused serious disaffection in the ranks, but it is believed now the trouble is over. Attention is called to the fact that Senator Sherman has talked for the republican ticket, and, it is claimed, has urged his friends not to drag up the cld case again. Attention is called to the fact that in his bock he disavows malice or ill-will toward those whom he once sus- pected of unfair dealing. General denial 13, entered as to the charge of local disaffec- tion to republican bosses, and it is said the party will stand solidly for the ticket and the men handling the campaign. The republicans claim the democrats are weak on the senatorial question, inasmuch as the party has not declared in favor of any eandidate. It is @enerally understood, of course, that if the legislature is demo- cratic, Mr. Brice will he, the logical candi- date. ‘It is said by tha reppblicans that this understanding is a YhérjAce to the demo- crats, for the reasom thgt it arouses the enemies of Mr. Brice td action. General Featuresiof the Campaign. ‘The general feature¥ pf the campaign, as pursued by the two are entirely dis- similar. The democrats, abandoning na- tional issues, saying not a} word in favor of the administration, avé coaducting the fight on state issues. They attack the last leg- islature as venal, arraign the city admin- istrations and chargg.the republicans with being under boss rule, The republicans are going for national questions, taunting the democrats with being afraid of defending their administration. ! They brand the ref- erences to the alleged leyislative venality as mud slinging, and talk of protective tariff and the Monroe doctrine. And they wind up by saying “How about that 137,000 republican majority?” * N.O. M. ————_--—_ HOLMES’ COUNSEL RETURN. Owing to Exhaustion He Yields the Conduct of His Cane. At the conclusion of Dr. Scott’s testi- mony in the Holmes murder trial at Phila- Gelphia yesterday Dr. Wm. K. Mattern, €croner’s physician, was called. Holmes at ence arose and begged the court to grant him a continuance until today. He pleaded that as Dr. Mattern would prove a most important witness, he felt unequal to the strain, the cross-examination of Dr. Scott having exhausted him. He hoped to feel stronger today. Judge Arnold asked the distr'ct attorney whether -he would agree to this, and Mr. Graham replied with emphasis: “No, sir; I want to go on. This is only mere by-play.”” “That is your opinion!” said Holmes, with the scarce subdued scorn which has marked all his intercourse with the district attor- rey since the trial began. “That is my opinion. Holmes suppressed a sigh and sat down and the district attorney smiled slightly, with the thought which he has made evi- dent throughout that Holmes is playing the role of a weak, helpless unfortunate, op- Eressed and crushed by the mighty ma- chinery of the state, in order to get the sympathy of the jury. The doctor unqualifiedly declared that death had been caused by chloroform poi- soning. The cross-examination consumed nearly two hours and a half, and the great majority of the questions put by Holmes were entirely irrelevant. District Attorney Graham, after main- taining silence for a long time, eventually lest patience and presented his objections to this sort of questioning. Thereupon Holmes brought the examination to a close. Before the court took a recess until 7 o'clock Holmes made an appeal to the court to hold but two instead of three sessions a day on the ground that his physical condi- tion would not stand the strain. Judge Arnold answered: “Well, hold a night session tonight.” The taking of testimony was about to be resOmed at the evening session, when Holmes arose, and, addressing the court, sald f your honor please, I have a re- atest to make. In consequence of the ere physical strain to which I have been ubjected, and also because of the criti- ism leveled against my former counsel, Messrs. Wm. A. Shoemaker and Samuel F. Rotan, I have, within the past half hour, sent for them and asked them to again as- sume charge of my defense. I should like to ask if the court will permit this?” “Let them come in," said the judge. A moment later the two lawyers, looking ale and worried, entered/the court room, and Mr. Rotan, going, up.to the bar, was about to enter upon an explanation, when Judge Arnold curtly interrupted with: “No apology is necessary. Go on with the case.” The dock, with its occupant, was then moved back to its former place and Holmes’ counsel took seats at the desk. The taking stimony was then proceeded with in ual we = Several witnesses gave, testimony con- recting Holmes and Pitezel before the mur- der, identifying Pitezel by a portrait in court. we will —_see- WESTERN LAKES DRYING UP. Wheat New Growing Where Fish Were Once Plentiful. From the New York Times. it was reported a few years ago that the rainfall was increasing on the east- ern edge of the arid district, near the one- hundredth meridian, in the northwest, and the current explanation of this change was that it had been caused by cultivation of the soil. That is to say, the farmers, mov- ipg westward in Nebraska and Kansas, had duced a larger rainfail by their own op- erations, aud were thus pushing back to- ward the mountains the boundary of the arid region. Statistics appeared for a time lo support this thesry; only for a time, however, for the suppl of moisture de- creased and hundreus ot farms and many promising new towns nave since been aban- uoned in the region where conditions seem- ed to have become permanently more fa- vorable to agriculture. ° An inquiry recently made in Minnesota and the Dakotas colicerning the lakes of those states shows that cultivauion of the soil, While exerung directly no perceptible influence upon rainfall, has been one of the causes of u large reduction of lake area and of surface supples of water. Any one who has exanuneu with care a trustworthy map of Minnesota will remember that the number of lakes in that state is very large. ‘en years ago there were about 7,00 of them; but the number would be greatly re- duced on a map truthfully representing the topography of the stale at the present ume. Avoul one-third of the lakes that were shown by the surveys of ten years ago have disappeared. Wheat, flax or grass was grown tus year on the siles of many of Unese bodies of water, others have be- come unsightly and impassable marshes, and the surlace levels of the lakes remain- ing have been lowered by several feet. in the Dakotas a similar change 18 observed. The St. Paul Pioneer Press of the 7th instant published interesting reports from many counues in Minnesota and the 1 Kolas as lo Uns reducuon of lake area. We have space for only a brief reference Lo the facts disclosed. !rom aimost every county comes the same story—small lakes have én- urely disappeared and given way to culti- vated land, or have degenerated into marshes and mud holes, and large lakes have shrurken in area and been lowered by four, five or even eight feet. Flax or wheat has been growing where fish were plenuful a few years ago. From some counties comes the prediction that the re- maining lakes will dry up, and that the farmers will be forced to rely upon aru- ficial irrigation with water from artesian wells. It may be noted that artesian wells now in use in North Dakota appear to have drawn water from neighboring lakes which have lost area and volume. While the reporting observers are not in complete agreement as to the causes of this change, the majority of them say that cultivation of the soil has withheld rain water from the lakes and streams. ‘The uncultivated prairies,” ong remarks, “pre- sented a smooth, cqmpagt surface, from which the raipfall quickly ran off into the sloughs and creeks and found its way to the lakes. Now the light, loose cuitivated soil absorbs the water a¥ fast as it falls, and it is a rare thing to see water running from the fields to sloughs when the ground is not frozen. Almost our entire rainfall is absorbed as fast as it falls, and instead of filling our takes it is filling our granaries.” It is also.poirted out that the snowfall has been deficient for some years past. The record kept af, St. Paul shows that the rainfall has heen’ considerably be- low the average since 1882, except in one year. A few of the resident ‘observers, how- ever, express the opfMonthat the dryness is temporary, and that the,lakes will fill up again. The Indians have told them of sim- ilar dry periods in the past, followed by a series of wet seasons. ' It 'fs pointed out by one reporter that after a lake has dried down to a small pool almost invariably the bones of buffaloes may be found at the edge of the pool, which indicates that a similar reduction of lake area took place yeara ago. We find no reference to the ef- fect of the removal of the gorests in cer- tain parts of Minnesota, altugh this may weil hav2 been considered. The situation of the region in which this interesting change has taken place—around the source of the Mississippi and of the tributaries of the Missouri—makes it a matter of more than local importance. ee. ‘The jury in the case of Jennie Robinson, who has been on trial at Jersey City, charged with killing Charles W.

THE JERSEY FIGHT Campaign for Assembly and Gov- ernor. REVOLT AGAINST RACE TRACK MEN Overturning the Big Democratic Majority. : WHAT THE OUTLOOK IS Spectal Correspondente of The Evening Star. CAPE MAY, N. J., October 30, 1895. In six days from today New Jersey will elect a governor, seven state senators, or one-third of its upper house, and a full thouse of assembly of sixty members. In all the counties the certificates of nomina- tion under the reform ballot law have heen filed, Saturday being the last day allowed. In every county both the republicans and democrats have made their nominations. The prohibitionists have also named candi- dates for every office, while the socialists and people’s party each have a candidate for governor only. The whole fight seems to center this year apon the governorship and the assem)ly, because the republicans have enough mem- bers in the next state senate for two ma- jority should the democrats elect every Senator next Tuesday. For twenty-seven years the democrats have had the governors, without interrup- tion, Marcus L_ Ward being the last of the republicans. That list has included Theo- dore F. Randolph, afterwards United States Senator; Joel Parker, who died a state su- preme court justice; Joseph D. Bedel, Gen. George B. McClellan, George C. Ludlow, now a supreme court justice; Leon Ab- bett and Robert S. Green, who have both died in the past year, while members of the supreme court, and George T. Werts, the present governor. Revolt Against the Race Track Men. Three years ago the whole state list of officers, with the exception of but a few judgeships, was entirely democrat- ic. The legislature had hardly a hand- ful of republicans in it. Then Will- jam J. Thompson, the owner of the Gloucester -ace tracks, managed to get in- to the assembly, and the official starter at the tracks also got a seat there, and was made speaker of the body. Then a couple of bookmakers edged into seats. Immedi- ately following much legislation was enact- ed, ard as a consequence, a “ring” was formed in the state capital, and such men as Thompson, Speaker Flynn, Senator Daly of Hudson county, the governor and others of less fame, were charged with being in a combination to control the state af But at the election in 1803, the peopie, even against a gerrymander made so that fifteen or twenty members was all that the republicans might hope for in the as- » by about an aggregate majority of elected every one of the republican dates fos one-third of the senate, and forty of the sixty members of the house. The result made the senate one majority republican, but the democrats refused to allow the newly elected senators their seats. But during the winter following the demo- cratic supreme court decided that they had the right there. Then investigation of state house affairs showed big frauds in supplies in state af- fairs. As a result the election last No- vember turned to another republican sweep. The reoublicans elected all the eight Con- gressmen, six out of the seven state sena- tors and fifty-four out of the sixty as- semblymen. The majority in the state was increased to 42,000. Investigations have still gone on and some of the accused have left the state. Bernard Ford, the superintendent of the state house, has left for parts unknown. Many have been tried for conspiracy, but none have been convicted. Eighteen of the twenty-one counties have elected re- publican sheriffs, and even Hudson county, which gave always from 6,000 to 14,000 ma- jority for the democratic ticket, elected a republican sheriff by 4,000 plurality. Grigg» Brilliant Campaign. Because of the condition of affairs the re- publicans saw hopes of once more securing the governorship, and there were hosts of candidates on that side for it, while the dem- ocrats had no one who cared to make the figh® The two leading candidates for the republican nomination were John W. Griggs, a lawyer of Paterson, and ex-Congressman John Kean, one of the millionaire reside: of Elizabeth, and Senator Foster M. Voo! hees of Union county, who led the invest! gation in state house affairs. Griggs secured the prize and is making a brilliant cam- paign, having so far visited almost every town or village of any size In the state. He is an effective speaker and yet a young man. He was in the assembly in 1876 and 1877, and for six years subsequent was the state sen- ator from his democratic county, being once president of the senate. He is a protege of National Committeeman Garret A. Ho- bart, who was his predecessor in the senate, and who expects to succeed James Smith, jr. as Uniled States Senator for New Jers>y. The democrats nominated Chancellor Alex. T. McGill, who 1s a bright lawyer, and who has not taken much part in politics. He was once in the assembly,and succeeded the pres- ent ambassador to Germany, Theodore Run- yon, as chancellor. McGill has not taken the stump. Most of the estimates made by apers of both parties in the state and de its boundaries give the chances in favor of Griggs from 5,000 to 10,000 votes. Decrease in Registration. A factor which enters into the puzzle this | year is the meaning of the decrease in the registry. Last winter the law was so changed that a voter had to apply in per- sen, or else not be registered to vote. Be- cause of this 10,000 less voters are register- ed in Jersey City, 5,000 in Newark, and the registry has fallen off about five per cent in all parts of the state. The total vote in the state last year was 206,216 out of 302,- 150 registered. The democrats are crying that if they can get the vote out, the state will be redeemed to them, and the governor- ship held. The governor appoints nearly all the offi- cers in New Jersey. Following are some he will select during his term: Justice of su- preme court, $7,500; commissioner of bank- ing and insurance, $2,000; judge of court of errors and appeals, $1,000; superintendent of public instruction, $3,000; state board of assessors, $2,500 each; sixty-three lay judges; twenty-one prosecutors of the pleas, trustees of various public institutions, state It Has No Equal THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY NUMBER OF THE CENTURY MAGAZINE WILL BE READY ON FRIDAY Seopa NOVEMBER *“yijonne FIRST. 7°52 Noa OOPDSTETETERIOITOTETETONS, boards of health, pharmacy, medicine and dentistry, clerk in chancery, which pays $20,000 in fees a year; keeper of state pris- on, at $35,000; district court judges, state beard of education, law judges, harbor mas- ters, attorney general, $7,500 a year; secre- tary of state, $5,000 a year; clerk of su- preme court, fees amounting to $25,000 a year, and various other officers.

According to a cipher message received by Enrique Trujillo Carlos at New York, Manuel de Cespesdes, who sailed from the Delaware ten days ago, at the head of a secret expedition, has safely landed in Cuba. The expedition, according to Mr. Trujillo, consisted of 107 men, and the party succeeded in landing 500 rifles, 400,000 cart- ridges, ten cases of miscellaneous war ma- terial and 250 machetes. Thomas Estrala Palma, chief delegate of the Cuban revolutionary party in New York city, when seen yesterday, said that he would go to Washington in the near future. “I shall see President Cleveland and lay ihe cause of my countrymen before him. Our friends in Cuba are in need of arms and ammunition. The Spanish government has always denied that it is engaged in war with the Cubans. If that be the case, I see no reason why the United States au- thorities should prevent us from sending merchandise to Cuba.” g Mr. Palma said that he would go before Congress as soon as it convened and would agitate in‘behalf of the Cuban revolution- ary party. The steamer Laurada, from New York, reports upon her arrival at Kingston, Ja- maica, that after leaving New York she met two boats outside the bay, in which were thirty-four Cubans, who embarked upon the Laurada. Later in the voyage they were disembarked off Cuba. The steamer also met two other boats, which carried thirty-two cases of ammunition, which were taken on board and which were again unloaded Sunday while the steamer Was off Guantanama, Cuba, after which she proceeded to Jamaica. The news of the safe arrival of Carlos Cespesdes’ expedition in Cuba has been re- ceived at Tampa, Fla. as Two New Battle Ships. The ordnace bureau of the Navy Depart- ment has almost completed the specifica- tions for the armor for the two battle ships which are to be contracted for next month. The armor will be subjected to a somewhat mcre severe test ballisticailly by the use of large caliber guns in the firing tests, and the shipbuilders will be required to supply the armor makers more promptly with pat- terns for the armor plates than heretofore.

Appoints a Scientist as Purveyor to His Court, And Gives His Reasons for the / Appointment. King George of Greece, though comparatively a young man, in com- parison to the other crowned heads of Europe, has perhaps as advanced ideas as any of them in respect to the science of government as well as the demands and needs of his sub- jects. He is what may well be termed a careful, moderate and efficient ruler. With him the old monarchical prin- ciple, which tells of the divine right of kings, has no effect whatever, so far as his conduct or administration is-concerned. He is a patron of edu- cation, science and the arts, and has done much for the advancement of all three. In his own household King George is particularly careful to have none but scholars, so far as relates to direction and cenduct of its affairs. No better example of this fact need to be cited than was afforded in his choice of a purveyor to his court, appointing as he did JO- HANN HOFF, “in consideration of the high excellence of his MALT EXTRACT.” These words in quo- tation are King George's precise language as stated in the appoint- ment. Be sure you accept none but the GENUINE JOHANN HOFFS MALT EXTRACT. Avoid substitutes. 030 Ceeeeeeeeeeerey atch, $10.
