The Ohio Campaign.

Gen. Thomas Ewing, Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, now in this city, says: “So far as I can judge, the prospects for a Democratic victory

in Ohio were never better than they are to-day. If we can carry Ohio we can carry Illinois, and other States of the West and Northwest will be sure to be with us. We are going to have a hot and lively campaign, the most exciting we ever had in Ohio.” “You regard it, then, as the key-note of the Presidential campaign for 1880 ? ’ “Veri much so. The campaign wil> be fong.it greatly on national issues.” “How about the recent vetoes ol Hayes ? ” “They will help us very much.” “How about the Election law, Super visors and Marshals at the polls ? ” “Many Republicans, I know, are with us, and we expert to add some of theii votes to those of the united Democracy in favor of a free ballot-box.” “Do you expect there will be much of a cry made by the Republicans about Confederate Brigadiers in this canvass?” “Well, they won’t wave the blood} shirt much. I guess Rice and mysell. with only three legs between us, can beat Foster and Hickenlooper on four legs when they come to the military part of the canvass.” “How about the Greenback vote?” “We expect to deplete the Greenback ranks by the stand we have taken in favor of the unlimited coinage of sil ver.” “You don’t think this will be in any sense a rag-baby campaign?” “Oh, no. We differ from the Greenbackers in that our chief wish on the paper-money question is to substitute Government money for national-bank money.” “How about the Presidential candidates?” “We hope the Republicans will nominate Grant. We are not afraid of him or Sherman either. As for Tilden, some think he is entitled to the nomination; others think some other man would be stronger.”— New York World.
