Democratic Sentinel, Volume 13, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 September 1889 — The Ohio Campaign. [ARTICLE]
The Ohio Campaign.
The news from Ohio is encouraging. Mr. Leedom, Sergeant-at-arms of the House, who has just returned from Ohio, where he attended the Democratic convention, says: “I think we are going to elect Campbell Governor. Campbell in his speech at the convention attacked Foraker’s management of State affairs and institutions. Foraker now conies back at him with an attack charging him with being the agent of brewery trusts, etc. I do not know what effect Foraker’s attack will have. It may take away some Prohibitionists, but thq Republicans will lose German votes for all the Prohibitionists they gain. I think Campbell will get the German vote, for the lack of which we have been defeated heretofore. Moreover, Foraker’s assumption of supremacy over every one in his party has made him many enemies. There are many Republicans in Ohio who cannot tolerate the idea of Foraker’s
domination. We think we are going to elect both Governor and a majority cf the Legislature. * — Washington dispatch.
