THE OHIO OUTLOOK.
Both Parties Fighting FierccIy
for the Victory.

for the Victory.
CoLUMBus, October la special to
the Cincinnati Enquirer from this
city says: The Secretary of State is
now sending out blanks to the County
Clerks for the election returns. They
are very large blanks, as there are
four regular State tickets, with eleven
names on each. Besides the full
State ticket there are to be this year
returns on the members of the Legis-
lature and for Judges, and this is the
year for full county tickets. 1t is es-
timated that there are to-day on the
different tickets for State, district,
county and local offices between four
thousand and five thousand candi-
dates in the field, whose fate will be
decided in another week. This
makes up formidable army to
charge on the people and keep up the
fever of political excitement among
three-quarters of million of voters.
The merchants expect the fall trade
to improve next week when it is over.
At present there is a great stir
among the leaders of both parties,
who realize that
EVERYTHING rs AT STAKE.
The indications point positively to
the Democrats securing the Legsla-
ture, although the Republicans are
fighting hard for close counties, and
have even gone into some reliable
Democratic counties to make trouble.
They are wasting money in such
places as Hooking, Tuscarawas. Al
len and Franklin counties, which
shows their desperation. They do
not expect to carry any Of the coun-
ties that have large cities in them,
and their hopes elsewhere is by fu-
sion with the Second Amendment
movement.
The Democrats have assurances by
the polls Of the counties Of large
gains over the Newman vote, which
will give them the State ticket,
and this will put them in posses
sion Of
THE ENTIRE STATE ADMINISTRATION.
They now have the Secretary of State,
and men are to be elected next week
for every other State office. Another
member of the Board Of Public Works
will make that body stand two Dem
ocrats to one Republican, and the Re
publican with only one year to serve.
The election Of Owens and Follett will
make the Supreme Bench stand three
Democrats to two Republicans, with
the Republicans holding the short
terms. The Court would stand as
follows: Owens, Democrat, five years;
Okey, Democrat, four years; Toilet,
Democrat, three years; McIlvaine,
Republican, two years; johnson, Re-
publican, one year. The election is
one that involves everything in the
State for Executive, Judiciary and
Legislative departments, as well
as the caste it will give for 1884,
and if Judge Hoadly is elected it will
put him to the front for the Presi-
deney.
The blanks sent out are fixed for
complete returns on the constitutional

ties are requested to put in the vote
for the second amendment, as there
will be great interest taken in it
and all will want to know the next
day how it stands. 1t is still claimed
by the advocates for it that it will
carry. Mr. Ham, the publisher of
the Home Gazette, the organ of the
agitators here, saws their poll of the
State shows 10000 majority Of the
total vote for it. The opposition
thereto must come principally from
