LAST RALLIES In OHIO.
BOTH BLAINE AND HENDRICKS
MAKING FINAL APPEALS.

All Eyes Turned on the Great Pivot
Democratic Chances for Victory in the
State Frightening Every Day-The
Champions of Reform also Confident
In Michigan, Indiana and Iowa.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-George w.
Adams, one of the proprietOrs of the
Washington EUening Star, who is watch
ing the campaign in Ohio, telegraphs the
Star tonight from Columbus as follows:
''Taking the average of all sources of in
formation received here, there is no reason
to change the current opinion in the East
that the result in Ohio on Tuesday next
as it looks to-day is one of very great
doubt. There has been marked change,
the leaders of both parties agree, within
a week, and in favor of the Democrats.
Gen. Logan has expressed his fears as to
the situation, and both he and Mr.. Blaine
have confirmed them by their return to
the State. The two State committees this
morning decline to give any figures,
though the Republicans still claim
from 5000 to 10000 majority,
while the Democrats say with the great
est confidence that thev have the State
by fair majority. They are placing
their greatest dependence on Hamilton
county. If Cincinnati and that county
do not give over 1900 majority the State
IS possibly lost to the Democrats, but
their estimate is placed as low as $500,
and on that basis they claim the State by
several thousand.
REPUBLICAN ALARM.
The Ohio State journal, an organ of the
Republican party, has the following note
OF alarm this morning: ''The Republicans
have no longer reason to conceal the great
danger that lies in veI-cOnfdence-prO-
ducing light VOte-and the indisputable
danger consequent upon the most thor
Ough preparation and systematic arrange
ment by the Democratic managers, both
within and from without the State"
The EUeRing Star tonight also says:
"There is considerable uneasiness con-
cerning the result in Ohio manifested
throughout the departments. All the talk
is that the situation is critical, with
chance that the Democrats will elect their
candidates of Secretary of State and Su-
preme Judge. This opinion is expressed
by politicians about the hotels and politi-
cal headquarters. Anxious inquiries are
being made on every hand"
BLAINE MEN CONCEDING INDIANA.
Col. Holloway, editor of the Indianap-
oils Times, who went on Mr.. Blaine's
bond in the libel suit against the Sentinel,
wrote to friend in this city yesterday
that he could not see his way clear at this
| time, and feared that Blaine would not
get the electoral vote of Indiana.
A letter was received to-day at the
Democratic headquarters from Mr.. Je-
rome Eddy, Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee of Michigan,
which says that the Democrats of that
State are thoroughly united and enthusi-
astic in their conduct of the campaign,
and that they will hold the six Congress
siOnal districts in that State which they
now have and will probably gain two
Congressman in the next delegation.
The Chairman of the Iowa Democratic
State Committee writes to Democratic
headquarters here that ''if Ohio goes
Democratic Iowa will go the same way"
A private telegram tonight from very
well informed Independent Republican
in Cincinnati states that there is some
thing like a panic among the Republican
managers in Ohio. There was a genuine
scare in Cincinnati among the Republi-
cans to-day.
