Gov. Hoadly Expresses the Belief That
Ohio Will Give Cleveland
Her Vote,
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !


BosToN, August 16.-Gov. Hoadly, of
Ohio, was in the city to-day on his way from
Maine to Ohio. He is confident that, though
Maine is sure for Blaine, the majority will be
much smaller than the Republicans now
claim. There is a silent vote in Maine this
year which will be of much importance, and
it is not In favor of the Republican ticket
''What is the political outlook in Ohio?"
asked the reporter.
'Tt is may belief,' answered the gov
ernor, "Ohio will go Democratic by major
ity of not less than $4,000. The majority
may be greater, but will say $4,000 SO that
my estimate may not be considered rash. In
the late state campaign the governor was
elected by majority of about 1880 votes.
1 expect that we shall improve somewhat
upon this. We shall certainly carry the
state unless the Republicans buy it up. do
not think they can do it this year, for l un-
derstand that the national committee has
more difficulty than usual in raising funds
and when they undertake to buy New York,
New Jersey, Ohio and Indiana the contract
turns out to be pretty large. They can carry
none Of these states without using money"
The governor says that the German vote in
Ohio is divided, as it has been in recent cam
paigns, bnt that the majority of the Germans
will vote for Cleveland and Hendricks. In
regard to the Irish in the state he said !:
''There is only one Irishman in the state, to
my knowledge, who has come out for Blaine,
and he does so because he was not made
sheriff a short time ago. He has no follow
ing, and can exert no influence"
Gov. Hoadly thinks there is no doubt about
Indiana going for Cleveland and Hendricks
by handsome majority He thinks from pres
ent knowledge that Senator Mcdonald will
give his cordial and unreserved support to the
ticket.
When asked about Wisconsin and Illinois
the governor said, 81 know very little person
ally about either state, but l am told by per-
sons who have studied the situation there.
that there is a strong Cleveland movement
in Wisconsin and that we have fighting
chance in Illinois,"
Gov. Hoadly considers the outlook in the
country at large very encouraging. He be-
lieves that New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey are pretty sure to go Democratic.
