TICKET PROBABLY SAFE.

TICKET PROBABLY SAFE.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRBUNE.l
CINCINNATI. Oct. o. politicians were never so
puzzled over an election as at present There is
absolutely nothing but guesswork from the best OF
them The Republicans have been scared from the
start or soon after it, and that IS in their favor tor
they have been working hard Besides in Ohio
heretofore scare has generally preceded
victory. The Republican State ticket will probably
pull through unless Townsend, its head, should
fail He will be scratched the most. OF nine Con-
Qressmen the Republicans feel sure respecting inc
other twelve they feel or less shaky, though IL
is likely they will get half of them. The two from
Cincinnati will have hard work to get through; IN
fact few expect either of them to be elected VI
tbe local ticket they have much hope for only one
or two persons.
The Democrats began claiming with confidence
early. but their courage has waned perceptiDiy
within ten days and they puzzled to know how
they stand. The whole SITUATION may be summed
up BY saying that neither party has 6t OF nghtng
confidence and that the count OF the balotSls pretty
sure to surprise everybody.
