HOPE FROM OHIO.
CINcNNATI, Oct. ll.-There is more
confidence among Republicans tonight,
both as to Ohio and Indiana, than there
has been for three weeks. Estimates Of
Ohio run all the way from IL, 600 to 25,.
600, and even 10000, Republican ma.
jority. 1t is by NO means improbable
that the latter figure will be reached.
Secretary Schurz said TO a Cincinnati
editor, q few days ago, that he thought
the result in both Ohio and Indiana
would be surprise on one side or the
other.
There were undercurrents and influ-
ences at work which it was difficult 10
measure, but which would Affect the
result powerfully. The Republicans
are sure these Inducements are in
their favor. Hundreds Of Democratic
business men in this city, who fsar the
effect Of change in Administration,
but who don't wish TO break with their
party, will quietly stay at home. Two q

Richard Smith, editor Of the Gazette,
tslegraphs the following: Is
There will be very large vote in
Ohio, the largest ever cast. The inter

any time since the celebrated Vallan-
digham campaign. Both parties nave :
exsrted themselves to the utmost. My
belief is, the Republicans will carryl
the State by decisive majority, and

probable. Both parties claim Indiana.
The Republicans feel confident Of sue

this they are better prepared than in
any previous campaign. feel certain
Of q Republican victory in Ohio, and am
hopeful of Indiana. RICHARD Smith.
Chairman Nash of the Republican
state Com mittee says: II
"The Republicans Of Ohio were never
better organized than they are now,

and confident Of success, | believe that
we will carry the State by a majority
EQUAL to the average Republican ma,

LESS HOT BLOOD IN INDIANA.

good prospect now Of a peaOesble elec-
ton tomorrow. What has been anti.
cipated as the result Of the efforts made
by the Republican managers to check

termined attitude assumed by Marshal d
Dudley as to the preservation Of the fl
peace, has been practically accom-
plished so far as the city is involved.

Il gal election tomorrow that we expect n
those charged with the duty OF enforcing the
law and maintaining order will do their duty
and that all persons guilty of iTaubor attemt-
ed fraud In connection with said election
shall be prosecuted and TunIshPd To the ex-
tent of the law ;and we each pledge our per-
s0nal aid and influence to that end.
