ODD POINTS or THE CAMPAIGN. There are some features of tho uational cam??? palgu of 1884 which excite markod Interest. Tho democrats seem to have a better organisation than the republicans. Heretofore outsiders havo com plained that the democrats hod no plan of their owu, except to offset republican plans. Tho situ ation is reversed. The democratic managers are pursuing an sftgrcwdve national campaign In New York, Indiana and the northwest New York and Indiana are practlcully assured to tho possible. The democrats of Ohio aud null* are depended to watch their own bul ??; Louis, an old manager ivegouc to Ohio; but lu res . democracy of that state is.hdfWlblo to take < oflhelf. This Is only natural In view of the wet that the democrats o! Ohio have tho offices of tbo state and the organization of It* public Institu tions from the governorship down to tbo county (???limhoincs, and are belted In-on two sides by the steel-born democrats of Keutucky and Indiana. Another incident of this campaign is tho cessa tion of the letters which Lieutenant-Governor ( hannrey Black, son ot the late Judge Jeremiah Black, hea for several years sent to tho Now York Bun from Harrisburg, covering the democratic sit uation. Editor Dana's ???cranky??? course towards Governor Cleveland is thought to account for Another feature of the campaign is the absolute refusal of the mosses of the {people to l*o "ea- ??? i-nejr to keep clerks In the state headquarters i Philadelphia.
