UNCERTAINTY IN OHIO Republican ‘A Accorded the Ad- Tyantage. : POINTS MADE "BY THE DEMOCRATS They Gained by Adhering to State “Ksues. SILVER MOVEMENT FAILS Special Ccrrespondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, 0., November 2, 1895. The close of the campaign finds the result much in doubt. That this shovld be so so soon after the republican victory of last year, when they carried the state by a plu- rality of over 137,000, is a significant fact. No one need expect to see any such a walk- over in Ohio as that of last year. Among betting men the republicans are accord2d the advantage, but it is slight. It seems to be the general opinion among disinterest- ed parties that the republican plurality is not likely to reach over :0,000. That is to say, the political conditions in the state have at least swung back to the normal. Probably no Ohio campaign in which only state officers were to be chosen was cver more vigorously fought than the present one. For the last six weeks the political issues have been discussed by hundreds of campaign orators on both sides of the great dividing line, and by not a few populists and prohibitionists. In. spite of the hard fight being made by the two old parties, both the populists and the proh‘b‘tionists are likely to poll large votes. this year. In the county districts the populist notions prevail mo-e extensively than they did last year, The re- vival of business has not been felt there yet, and the low price of all farm prodace sets the farmer more firmly against the present conditions, and the national admin- istration, which he holds responsible for them, than ever. The democrats are charging that Coxey, the commonwealer, who is the populist can- didate for governor, is working in concert with the republican state committee, and is being supplied with moncy to carry on his campaign. They say the republicans are thus willing to help him on with his work because they know that the more populist votes he can make, the fewer democratic votes there will be. There is good logic in this, at least, for the populists draw the principal part of their strength from the democrats. One fact that furnishes the democrats with at least ground-work for the charge of collusion between the populists and the republicans is that the populists have no state committee here at work man- aging the:r campaign. They seem to have made no attempt to collect money to carry on thetr campa:gn, and the democrats can not understand how a campaign can be car- ried on without money. The inferenze is that the republicans must be furnishing the money. The new party, the socialist labor party, which for the fi time in the history of Ohio politics wi! lave a ticket in the field this year, will draw about 8,000 votes from some source. Most, of them are likely to come from the populist party and the rest from the democrats. - The Prohibitionists. The prohibitionists are making a rally this year in order to secure strength in the gen- eral assembly to! pe elected this fall to secure the passage.of a bill giving the coun- ties the right of:tocal option. They Have called Sam. Smal},\the temperance orator, whe has made about sixty speeches through the state. A bill pf this nature was defeated in the last legislature by a small majority, and the prohibitionists began at once a cam- paign for the eledtien of a legislature that would pass the measure. It is generally un- derstood that the} Rave sounded every can- didate for the legislature on this matter, and such as have not pledged themselves to sup- port it have teen marked for defeat. This Kind of politica] watfare is likely to set harder against’ the republicans than the democrats, for the reason that the repub- lican party bas a large element that, while it has never acted with the prohibitionist par- ty, sympathizes with it in this movement, which applies to tHe rural districts especial- ly. Under such a law whole counties would forbid the sale of liquor, and that the brew- rs and distillers believe it would be en- forced is shown by the fact that they are fighting it with all their energy. The issue injects another uncertain factor in the pres- ent political problem in Ohio: The Vote of the State. The greatest vote ever cast in this state vas 861,625. But that was in the presiden- tial election of 1892. The largest vote ever cast at an election at which only state offi- cess were to be elected was 835,604. That was at the election of 1893, when Gov. Mc- Kinley was elected to his second term. Last year the total vote cast was only 776,819. ‘The falling off in the vote was just about equal to the loss of the democrats, which indicates that the democrats lost so heavily in that election not by reason of the inem- bers of their party voting the republican ticket, as has been asserted, but by their re- maining away from the polls on election day. It bears out what the republican leaders in this state have always claimed, viz., that the Ohio democrat votes his party ticket straight, if he votes at all. ‘The total vote in Ohio this year is likely to rgount up toward the high-water mark of 1892. Probably never before in a state cam- paign were the voters more thoroughly sti red up than they are now. The registration, where it has been necessary, shows that the voters have generally qualified themselves to exercise the franchise. In Cincinnati the democrats are claiming that the registration indicates a great gain for them. The repub- licans can claim Indications of gain in their vcte in this city by the same token. Collapse of the Silver Movement. The free silver movement of a number of democrats led by Allen W. Thurman seems to have gone to pieces. Thurman himself has made a number of speeches in the last two weeks, in which he gave full support to the whole ticket, but could not refrain from giving a few blows to his old enemy, Sena- tor Brice. He said the campaign was one of the people against the bosses. No exec- utive committee of free silver democrats has been established here to carry on a fight for. free silver in the campaign, as Thurman announced would be done at the outset of the campaign. The fact is that there was no money at hand to carry on such a movement, and nome in sight. Last year; Thurman being the state executive chairman, had control of all the money the democrats had, ayia ne was able to make quite a fight for the white metal, if it was not a winning one. By his obstinate course young Thurman bas made it impossible that the party shall ever take him as in any sense a leader... He will never succeed his father, the “Oli Roman,” in the estima- tion of the Ohio democrats. ‘A few days ago’\t was announced that the “Old Romen”;.would make a speech in the campaign from his door, his health not permitting him to leave his house. But even this has teén" found to be too much for him to undertake. The expected speech will not be made. ‘Few outside of his im- mediate friends an@ his family know how frail Mr. Thurman is. Until recently his mind has been string, but now even that is beginning tc fa}! perceptibly. Ex-Gov. Ciipbell’s Fight. Governor Camphei} has made a very hard fight in this campaign and seems to have got the best of ali his opponents on the stump. He was fortunate in having the assistance of Senator Joe McMaken, who as a member of the present senate sat in his seat and took notes of all the legisla- tion for which the.republicans were laying Gail Borden Eagle Brand CONDENSED [IILK For leading brand. It is the sti Soe A PERFECT FOOD FOR INFANTS SO0008CC0RE000000050 themselves responsible. It was from these notes that Mr. Campbell took the facts used in his speeches. So well was the work done that when the auditor of state undertook to refute Campbell’s figures as to local taxation authorized by the legisia- ture, he failed, and Governor McKinley, who used the auditor’s figures, was obliged to publicly admit that they were wrong. Gov. Campbell has boldly charged cor- ruption against the present republican leg- islature, collectively and individually. It was predicted when he first began to make these charges that libel suits would be filed against him, but so far there have been rone, though many of the charges were plainly actionable. The natural presump- tion from such facts is that the charges are true. That impression is beginning to pre- vail in many quarters, no doubt. The dem- ecrata, on the whole, have kept the fight down to state issues, while the republicans have tried to bring in national matters, so as to use the hard times, reduced condition of the national treasury and the trovbles of the present national administration. Gov. McKinley has used the opportunity to keep the tariff question prominently before the People. How It Looks. It looks now, at the close of the cam- paign, that the democrats have: had the best of the fight, but in the face of the great natural majority against that party it seems hardly possible that they can carry the state. It will depend largely upon the extent of the defection in the re- publican party on account of the reappear- ance of the Foraker faction as the con- trollers of the. political machine. That a great many republicans look upon this with great regret cannot be doubted; whether there will be enough of such re- publicans who will express their regret in their votes or not is quite another matter. As the opposition of this kind to the re- pyblican ticket is likely to concentrate upon the head of the ticket, it may he that the democrats will elect Campbell gov- ernor and lose all the rest of their ticket. The Legislature. As to the leg'slature, the result of the election is very much in doubt. Brice is no doubt making a hard fight for a return to the Senate, and putting a lot of money in the close counties. That money used in a campaiga in Ohio can bring ebout unex- pected and unusual results there has been evidenced recently in this state. It may be said that there is more likelihood of the democrats losing the state than the legis- lature.

Several Lives Lost by an Early Morn- ing Blaze in New York. Several lives were lost in the fire which started early yesterday morning in the second floor of the six-story brick building at 7 Pell street, New York, owned by Weil & Meyer, and vsed as a sweat shop. Three charred and almost unrecognizable bodies were taken from the ruins, and one man who jumped to save his Hfe from the flames was so injured that he died in Gouverneur Hospital,whither he was taken, suffering from a fractured skull. The Victims. These dead bodies have been found: Ja- cob Shaptro, watchman; Isaac Penson and an unknown man; Morris Dirschauer, aged forty, was the victim who died in Gouverneur Hospital of a fractured skull. The fire originated from some unknown cause on the second floor of No. 7, and spread with great rapidity through that building and these immediately adjoining. Five alarms were sent in, and although a large number of engines were playing on the flames for hours, nothing could be done to save the structures themselves, and the four buildings, numbered 3, 5, 7 and 9, were completely destroyed. Caused a Papic. The fire caused terror in the thickly pop- ulated neighborhood, and people ran out of their houses into the streets in multitudes to escape the impending destruction of their homes, which they feared. The build- ings burned were filled with sweat shops, and several watchmen and others slept there. Two of these people were Dirsch- auer, who died in Gouverneur Hospital, and Samuel Ischowitz, janitor of No. ‘They jumped from windows to save them- selves. Ischow'tz is st!ll in the hospital, with both legs broken. Searching for the Dead. After the flames had been extinguished, when there was little more to burn, a search was begun for the dead. The first body was found about 9 o'clock in the dcorway of No. 7. It was so burned be- yond all semblance to a human body that it was at first supposed to have been a Newfoundland dog which was kept about the place, but a doctor declared it to be the remains of a man. Two hours later another body was dis- POOP SHeintes Pendentensenseesentents For The Club, ; For The Bar, For The Table, © That peer of all waters, absolutely pure to begin with, then ‘ there is added just the right amount of Lithium Carbonate, So- ; dium Bicarbonate and Sodium Chloride, to make it valuable é for Stomach, KIDNEY and RHEUMATIC Troubles, and the reason why physicians recommend it—it’s what they’ve sought after for years.
