Gen. Cexey's Great Campaign.

Those of our friends who think the populists of Ohio made a mistake in nominating J. S. Ooxey for governor, will be surprised, when the vote is counted a week from next Tuesday, at the immense vote that is given him. Already the old parties are both giving the populist ■campaign more than half their compliments. Immense sums of money are being used by both Campbell and Bushnell. Mr. Coxey has put up a wonderful campaign; it has been one of education and has been an expensive one for a man of no greater wealth than he; he has circulated at his own expense over 1,000,000 pamphlets, the first cost of which was not less tfian S2OOO, besides speaking two and three times daily all the time he has maintained in the field a dozen able speakers, among whom are Col. Jesse Harper, E. H. Gillette, Prof. C. Vincent, Chas. Bonsall, E. D. Stark, David Rankin, Dr. Cock and others of national reputation. That the populist vote will be immensely increased is beyond question, and tl\e greatest blessing the people of Ohio could receive from the present contest would be his election to the gubernatorial chair. General Coxey is a man of brains and the ■energy with which he is pushing his propositions into public notice is phenomenal. His logic has captivated thousands who were prejudiced against him. Should it so happen that the next national convention of the people's party would honor him with the presidential nomination no popultst need be ashamed or disappointed.
