Washington, D. C., June I8.-r-Refer-
ring editorially to the notion of the Ohio
state oonventlon i yesterday, the New
York Herald of to-dayleaya:
“ft la poeaiblethatMoKInlay'achances
of victory have been overrated, Ohio Is
a strong republican state, to be sure,
but if a high tariff candidate . doesn't
make a losing fight, w* shall be sur
prised.!’
The World saya: ‘The republican
cry Is McKinley and high taxes. The
struggle will be on, the issue* of the pres
ent tariff law. The people of.Ohlo have
already passed on the Issue, eleotiag
fourteen democratic congressmen to
■even republicans. It is not probable
that their i experiences: nnder the law
have changed, the convictions of Obkr
voter*.”: . ,.r -1 :.i-. !-:i --
The Tribune declares that “the con
ventlon did good work. The rivalry of
the leaders was. put aside to a perfect
harmonious union, which .will make tho
party Irrosiatable. Sherman set a noble
example by refusing to permit any effort
towards his i ro-electkm to causa - the
slightest discord, The platform Is con-
olsa fearless and forclhlo”
The Recorder, a Blaine organ, says
that “Major McKinley’s address In ac
cepting tip:commission of the republl-
cans of Ohio is,an . elaborate exposition
of the record, principles sad aspirations
ot the party.: : The- , most striking utter
ance la his unreserved endorsement of
the Blaine doctrine of reciprocity, in ad
vocacy of which bo follows the natural
leader of all of our people.”
The Frees predicts the election of Mo
Kinley by 60,000 majority.
The Morning Advertiser thinks that
McKinley's nomination was both proper
andlogioal. As the putative father of
the present tariff set. he Is entitled to
stand or-falL He was defeated for con
gress lost year in n strong democratic
district and it is bis right to appeal to
tho people. It will be a glorious fight
Should Mr. Campbell he renominated
and .win there will be nothing to bar his
wayto a. vice-presidontlal nomination.
The stakes are great on .both aides, and
upon the Ohio election will depend the
shaping of presidential politics In “83."
The Times moralizes thus: “Brag is
a.good dog, but Hold Fastis a better.”
The republicans of Ohio, with the evi
dent consciousness of opening tho. cam
paign of '83, started out yostenlny with
"Brag," and left “Hold Faet" to follow
as be chooses. They took-MoKlnley for
their, candidate and McKInleyism for
their platform and left Senator Sher-
an.
The choice of McKinley was a procla
mation that the Campaign for next year
was. opened. ' It la intended to make
McKinley tlie next governor of Ohio and
Foraker the next senator, and, if Colonel
CongCr’s prediction is to be verified, the
next republican candidate for president
will not bo Mr. Harrison, but Major
McKinley."
The Sun baa notaline or a syllable on
the subject of Ohio politics.
