cinnati Enquirer from this city says: The
Secretary of State is now sending out blanks
to the County Clerks for the election re-
turns. They are very large blanks, as
there are four regular State tickets, with
eleven LANES on each--Rseidcs- the fuil
State ticket there are TO be this year re-
turns on the members of the Legislature
and for Judges, and this is the year for full
county tickets. 1t is estimated 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 formid.
able 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 Is ht Stake.
The indications point positively TO the
Democrats securing the Legislature. al
though 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, Allen and
Franklin counties, which shows their des-
peraiiOn. They do not expect to carry any
OF the counties that have large cities in
them, and their hope elsewhere is by fu-
otT l,a ma
ment.'
The Democrats have assurances by the
polls Of the counties Of larger gains
over the Newman vote, which will give
them the State ticket, and this will put
them in possession 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 Democrats TO one Republican,
and the Republican with only one year 20
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
wears: Follett, Democrat, three years; Nc.
Ilvarne, Republican, two years Johnson,
Republican, one year. The election is one
that involves every thing in the Stste for
the Executive, Judiciary and Legislative
departments, as well as the caste il will
give for 1884. and if Judge Hoadly is elected
it will put him to the front for the Presi-
dency.
The blanks sent out are fixed for com.
plete returns on the constitutional amend.
ment. The returns on
The Night OF Election Day
will be tabulated and computed in this
city on the head of the tickets and the
second amendments, and those sending in
news 10 the State Committees from the
several localities are requested TO put in
the vote for the second amendment, as
there will be q great interest taken in II
ard all will want TO know the next day
how it stands. 1t is still claimed by the
advocates for ii that il will carry. Mr..
Ham, the publisher of the Home Gazette,
the organ OF the agitators here, says their
poll OF the State shows 10000 majority OF
the total vote for it. The opposition
thereto must come principally from the
cities, and the Liquor Dealers Association
are now holding meetings 10 raise funds
and organize their workers Tor the polls TO
oppose this infringement by constitutional
law on personal liberty. The association
here is organized for the work.
on the other hand, the rural districts
Have Almost Suspended Work
ard business till after the election TO put
the second amendment through, and in the
cities they are contesting every inch OF
ground. Yesterday attention was given TO it
in all the Sunday Schools and churches,
and next Sunday they will be at il again,
and then keep il up without cessation I'LL
the following Tuesday night. They Will
have the churches open on lection day,
free lunches with coffee for their workers,
and all sorts OF demonstrations to keep up
the enthusiasm Of the crusade.
