THE FINAL ESTIMATE.

BASED on Good Foundatlon.
COLUMBUS, o., October ll.-NOthlng
now remains but to garner the 1OO,WO
votes of the peopl. of Ohio into the bal
lot.bOxes Tomorrow, and thus end the
agony that the Commonwealth has en-
dured for fonr weeks.
The Republicans are in much better
spirits than they were ten days ago
The large meetings they held in Cleve-
land, Columbus, Cincinnati and other
sections revived their enthusiasm, aud
the large sums of money they have re-
ceived leads them to hope that they
can purchase Il Republican majority IN
Ohio. 1t comes high, but they must
have it
The Days Of Republicanism are Num-
bered
with the loss of Ohio There has been
less gloom at Republican headquarters,
and Charley Moore, George X. Nash,
Jake Donaldson and John Beatty have
been abe to smile and say that they
thought Ohio would give larger Re-
publican majority than it has Tor ten
wears.
The Democratic campaign Committee
lave tlpsed one of the most thorough
canyasses ever known in Ohio. They
have surpassed the Republican mana
gers in details, such as speaking, dncu
IN. MS and l,cal organic atoms. They
have excelled them III every thing but
sadness aud monty.
John &. Thompson says the Demo-
cratic lines are
Unshaken by the Assaults OF the Repubii-
cans
in the last two weeks. The Republicans
have made some inroads on the tariff
question, but they have been met and
r.p led at this point. The great Dem
ocratic meetings held at Cincinnati,
Columbus, Cleveldnl, London, Mans
field. and many other places IN the
state, Saturday night, have famed the
Democratic enthusiasm TO fever heat,
and every energy will be exerted until
every Democrat vote in Ohio is in the
bollJt-hox on Tuesday. At both head
quarters the bosses were engaged In
clearing the decks for results on election
day.
At Republican Headquarters.
At the foot OF the steps met Charley
Moore, looking as solemn rs the last oil
the Moors on their flight from the shad-
ows Of the Alhambra. Charley's sOr-
row was evidently induced by the emp
" barrel. At the head of the stairs |
encountered George X. Nash with a
valise about as large rs an envelope IN
his hand. He was as wasted and worn
40 tnI n
and out of commiseration l permitted
him to pass on. Within | captured
Captain j. G. Donaldson, the Secretary
of the Committee, the man who grinds
out AL the circulars and does all the
hard work, while the other fellows get
all the credit and take all the fat offices
"Well, Captain, are the Republicans
going to carry Ohio?"
"of Course Wo Arc;'
and the Captain looked around as il he
expected the fate of Ananias. But you
haven't come up here to interview me,
have your

ooh, for Gods sake. don't! See Nash;
see anybody, but don't see me."
al know your modesty, Captain, and
YOUR agitation touches me, but duty is
imparetive."
Just then man with hymn book in
his hand-a book that suggested Phil-
adelphia repeater in. The Cap
tain took him into the back room, and,
after consultation, returned.
"Are you going to carry Hamilton
county, Captair?
Yes, by AS large majority As We did
last year
"Over Thirty-five Hundred"
"And Cuyagoha?"
we shall have six thousand majority
there"
"Only six thousand"
at may he more, but six thousand
will do" =. :.
"Goins to increase your majorities in
all the Republican counties, and gain on
the Democrats in all the Democratic
counties?" ,r
"Yes, that is what We will do. We
will have q larger majority than last
wear. and will elect about fifteen out oil
the twenty congressman.
The Captain did not say this as though
he believed it, but he hal evidently re-
celyed orders to claim every thing.
At Democratic Headquarters
Clerk Irvine, the Secretary, expressed
the belief that the Democrats would
carry the State for Lang bv from three
To eight thousand majority. -,
The Democrats have complete poll
of very county in the State but about
ten. The Republicans have not got a
complete poll OF half the counties.
The estimates OF the two State Com
mitties is about as follows: -.
Republican majority by Republican
estimate, 24 200.
Democratic msjority BY Democratic
estimate, 5000.
Ii comparing the two estimates there
is this peculiarity: The Republicans
increase the msjorities in their counties
