The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1879-10-04

The coming result in Ohio on the 14th is
tie absorbing topic in most Of the news.
papers these days. Indeed, it is an in
gredieut IN every body's conversation
along this border these days. CIfsa man
comes over the river, or II one goes over
from this side, and meets an acquaintance,
they are pretty sure to fall to talking about
the probable result in that State. They
cannot help it, for the air is full OF political
electricity and tingles along almost every
body's nerves. We observe that George
Alfred Townsend has written up column
and a half Of speculations about the result
lor the Cincinnati Enquirer. George is on a
visit to the Exposition down there; and
has improved the opportunity, as is usual
with him, to quizz everybody about the
result. He has quizzed Republicans and
Democrats alike, and writes out summa-
ries Of his conversation with leading reps
resentative men OF both parties, giving
their names. For instance, Rx-Mayor
Davis Republican, thinks that Fosters
majority will be fully $4,000. ,ohas. a.
Grosvenor, (Rep) expects 10000 for Fos-
ter, and expects also TO carry the legisla-
ture. Lewis Weitzel (politics unknown)
thought the election would be close, but
that Foster might have 5000 majority. E.
z. Bradstreet Dem thought Ewing had a
good prospect, but that the result
was doubtful. Ex-United States Senator
COnover, Of Florida, who is sojourning in
Cincinnati, said that both sides seemed to
be confident, and it seemed to him as II no
one could be sure until the morning after
the election. Gen. Burnside, who is also
soiOurning in the city, thinks Foster will
have 900 majority.
In view OF all these varying opinions,
Townsend is very much puzzled-to get at

Ewing and Rice arc soldiers for their

We observe by yesterdays Cincinnati
Gazette that Capt. Lorenzo Daniord has
been interviewed at Columbus as to the
results OF his observations in such parts Of
the State as he has traversed, and he is re-
ported as follows:
Speaking Of the political prospects, he
said: II have no doubt that Foster will
be elected by very large majority, but
the uncertainty is about the Legislature.
The fight is in'the close countless and It
will be very close one. The Democrats
are concentrating their work on a few Of
e. those. They. are making a tremendous
fight in Noble and Belmont, counties with
small majorities, and their men are riding
over the county every day, stopping at al!

show much, but it's effective. They are

This is a shrewd fight they're making! It's

now as he ever had in anything" I,
Gen. 0. t. Beard, Of Michigan, who has
been making effective speeches throughout
Northern Ohio, says there is nothing
sporadic or spasmodic in this present re-
markable uprising Of the Republican party.
