BOTH SIDES FEARFUL AND
HOPEFUL.

Speaker Randall ana Mr.. HenseI Confident
OF Democratic Sucooss-A General Re-
view OF the Situation.
New York World sneeial. l

CINCINNATI, Oct. 7.-The campaign In
Ohio closed last night with big Democratic
meetings in all the large cities In the State
ex Senator Doollttle at Columbus, Senator
Thurman at Mount Vernon, Speaker Ran
dali at Cleveland, Congressman Cox and
Frank Hurd at Toledo, Judge Hoadly at
Dayton, eZ Senator Mcdonald and Senator
fendleton at Cincinnati-and countless
meetings all over tho rural districts. ad-
dressed by good local talent.
The Republicans had meetings every
Where, but not such an array of prominent
| speakers as the Democrats. Foraker spoke
at Cincinnati, Noyes at Nelsonville ana
Judge Lawrence at Cleveland
The Secono Amendment people literally
covered the State with speakers last night,
| and today everywhere took up the theme
In pulpit and Sunday school.
At the Democratic meeting at Columbus.
on the same platform with Doolittle, Colonei
Murrell OF Baltimore made speech, urging
the colored men to vote the Hoadley ticket,
The colored vote In Ohio is about 25 900.
The Afro -AmericGn, paper edited here by
colored man, has all along been Hoadly
paper, and Peter II. Clark, the father of the
young man who edits 1t, has been on the
stump for the Democratic ticket.
ooLoRED VOTERS FOR HoADLY.
A detection of the colored vote at Xenia,
In Greene county, is also reported, but the
latest trouble In colored political circles Ia
that with the Colored Patriot, heretofore a
staunch Republican journal, which, accord
ing to the best Information, will appear to-
morrow strongly advocating the election Of
Judge Hoadly.
The editor of the Patriot, John CumIey,
desired the Republican State Executive
Committee to take 200 copies weekly, but
the offer was refused. similar application
Was made to the County Committee and
Lincoln Club, with like results. At the
committee rooms Mr.. Cumley was refused
| admittance by Mr.. Santmeyer, who accused
him OF lighting Tom Young. Cumley de-
| nied that such was the case, and the lie soon
passed. Cumley is very sore, and will not
say much, but intimates that he will get
| even.
A hue and cry of fraud is now raised by
both parties, and both parties are offering
rewards In advance for information that will
lead to the conviction of persons who aid or
| abet fraud at the coming election.
REPUBLICANS coNCEDE HAMILTON COUNTY,
Tonight Republicans in cool Judgment
cohcede Hamilton county to Hoadlv
by from one to two thousand, while Dem
ocrats claim five to seven thousand
for him. The Republicans claim ma
Jority Of the Ii members of the General
Assembly to be chosen in the county. In
the counties OF Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Lucas
and Franklin are $4,000 voters Of foreign
birth, about four-ffths of whom are Ger
mans. 1t is point in dispute between the
two parties, whether these foreign-born
voters will stick bodily to the Democratic
party, and that is point which the election
| alone Will SETTLE The total foreign vote in
the State is, In round numbers, 191 900
But, as rule, the effectiveness of this vote
may be very much increased from the fact
OF the large number of American voters
born of foreign parents.
AT the meetings here lost night a singular
coincidence was that Foraker and PendIe
ton both touched on the second amendment.
Foraker, the Republican, was opposed to it
because he regarded both amendments uu-
necessary siuee the enactment of the Scott
law. Peudleton, the Democrat, opposed it
because he preferred the license amendment
as the more practical of the two.
PANIcKY REPUBLICANS,
DAYTON, o., Oct, TN this part of
Ohio 1t is certain that Democrats will rather
go over than fall behind their majority for
Newman, when they carried the State by
10000 majority. The same may be said of
all other populous districts in the State,
where Injurious effects upon business of a
prohibitory amendment are appreciated.
Inc Republicans are panicky and the Demo-
Gratis are confident. No Republican claims
more than from three to five thousand ma
jority for Foraker, while Democrats claim
from ten thousand upward for Hoadly. The
situation In Hamilton county renders legis-
lature doubtful.
RANDALL AND HENsEL HOPEFUL.
philadelphia Times.l
Ex-Speaker Randall and Chairman Hem
sci, who left Cleveland Immediately after
their meeting there ON Saturday night, re-
turned to Philadelphia on the day express
last evening. Both of them represent that
their party is iu excellent condition In Ohio
and confident of success. Mr.. Randall, who
spent week in different parts of the State
and spoke every night, is especially hopeful
OF Democratic majority In the Legislature,
basing his confidence on what he considers
the certainty of Democratic delegation
from Cuyahoga county. Neither the tariff
question nor any other national issue has
entered very largely into the canvass, all
the popular excitement being centered upon
the liquor question; the Democratic line is
unbroken; the German vote, which last year
gave the Democrats the State on q compare
lively light poll, is still with them, but the
Republicans expect to bring out their stay
at-homes. The greatest interest is felt In
the lager cities and this is to the benefit of
Hoadly.
Mr.. Hensel claims to have seen signs of
Republican disintegration everywhere and,
while he disavows any right to forecast the
result from ten hours travel and stayin the
State, he thinks all the chances are in
Hoadly's favor.
