COLUMBUS o., oct. 13.-The hopeful signs
or Democratic victory tomorrow are increas-
Ing rather than abating, and the reports from all
parts are such rs to give no anxiety or apprehen-
sion to those in command.
ats all right says Chairman Bargar.
This is vain or idle boast, but with reliance
and astounding confidence. To-day has been an
active one at both committees headquarters
Tie tags and ends of the details have been ar
ranged, and now that the work of each is over
they are to receive the verdict, and one or the
other have the jubllaton. Dudley and Filley,
the usurpers OF the Republican canvass, have
counted over the figures of their poll and adapted
the result to meet their hopes rather than their
expectations. The order has been issued TO the
faithful to wear smiling visage,
though their hearts be sad. The
anxiety touching the result must
be intense outside the state. Both or the ma
tonal committees have telegraphed from New
York for figures.
The Republican poll, after an elastic pressure,
gives the state to their ticket by 10000. Mr.
Blaine, however, does not claim over 1900, and
has so advised his more intimate friends. The
errors Of the Dudley poll are manifold all, ap-
parently, on expected Republican gains. In the
mining regions TO allowance has been made for
the large number Of miners who
have left the state because of
the depressed times The chances are de-
creased rather than an increased vote in that
section. l have yet failed to hear advance,
from Republican sources tenable ground for
their hope OF victory. Dudley trusts in the
virtue and intelligence Of the people, Filley in
the availability OF money, and Foster puts his
faith on the precedent that Ohio has always been
Republican in a presidential wear,
What gives flavor 10 the Democratic claim OF
success is the admission by the enemy that, if
Ohio be lost to-day it can be recovered three
