THE ou1o CANVASS ENDING.
Democrats Conccding Republican Ma
jority.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.--Tho republicans, both
in Cincinnati and throughout the state, are
moro confident THAI at any time during tho
campaign. Thugs have been growing
brighter, particularly in this county, for
fortnight. The Hon. George X Nash, chair.
man OF the republican state central commit
tee, who was hero to-day, claims the state by
upward Of $4,000 majority. Governor Foster
is sanguine that IL will DO 10000. Some Of
tho democratic managers here admitted that
IL will be 5000 at least.
In this county, which Is always close, the
local republican ticket is considered safe, but
both OF the congressional candidates will have
harder fight. Major Buttcrwortl, in the
first district, flnds little tinSc, owing to the
excitement of the canvass, to figure up his
probable majority, but neither does the dem
Ucralic candidate In tho same district, the
Hon. Samuel H. Hunt. The voto " i'll bU very
close. Ordinarily tho district Is democratic.
Major Butterworth carried 1t for the rcpub.
liCans against Milton Saylcr, two years ago,
for the ilrsl time IN "A decade. His election at
the time was due to the suppression of frauds,
which had for long time beel regularly aud
Systematically prarticed. He expects 10 win
again, and ii there Is fair els ctou ho I'M
doubtedly will win. ...
In the second district General Young has
good deal to contend with IN the shape OF
IN ost active compotition In the person of Gun.
oral Banning who has bcou making q per.
sonal canvass of an unoxamplcd character.
Tho district Is usually republican, und will in
all likelihood return General Young to con-
gress. Every effort is being mado by tho re-
publicans To prevent revival of the repeating
and ballOt-box stuiling Of other years. IL is
definitely known that there are organized
gangs oi ropeaters already in the city to the
number OF several hundre,l. They have boon
imported FROM New York, Philadelphia and
| Baltimore. Thoy are known, however, aud
will be constantly watched. Detectives some
OF whom are from the east, have hunted them
down and are with them III their boarding
houses.
At tho polls there will be. In addition TO the
usual officers, United States supervisors OF
election, United States deputy marshals aud
committees OF citizens. The challenging OF
voters will bs the rule rather than the exccp-
tion, and 1t will be with tho great est difficulty
aud the taking Of dangerous risks that frauds
can be perpotratcd. The repeatcrs who are
here from distance were furnished bef0re
starting with return tickets, and they may
wisely conclude TO use them before election
day.
Louisville has contributed $4,000, and
other parts of kentucky have subscribed q;
literally for democratic campaign purposes
This money Is being largely used III en- tcinl
republican colorcd mon who live in Ohio and
Indiana over into Kentucky, on tho promise
Of employment ut remunerativo wages. They
will thus lose their voles, aud will, of course
be cast adriit alter election day.
The republicans, both In OhiO and Indiana
but particularly in the latter state, are wei
supplied with campaign funds. Their organi
zaiou is also, MS it has ever been, better
than that Of the democrats A heavy vote il
certain TO be polled, which is always favorable
to the republicans.
Large bets are offered that Indiana will g
republican, but there are no takers.
