paiIlstaking canvass of the entire stale has been
made, ana IL points 10 the election OF Robinson at
least by 1900 plurality, which may be nearer
10000, and may exceed that figure. The democrats

was not so favorable to republican success as IL Is
In Ohlo yet In Maine the majority was double that
expected. The German vote causes the republicans
no alarm. Three-tourthS OF the original German

The Irish will largely support Robinson. and

Since his arrival here Mr. Blaine has had free
and fun conference with the men In charge OF the
state canvass The result OF this talk is very sat-
isfactory to Mr. Blaine. Gen. Dudley said, after
the talk: without going into any special state
ments or figures it can be SD generally that the

publican ticket Will have 10000 majority and ID
may have more This estimate OF Dudley's coin
clueS with the pest judgment OF the men who are
watching the campaign the most closely. II is
also conceded that Blaine himself is $4,000 stronger
than the state ticket.
Federal supervisors have been provided for Gin

be guaranteed, il is thought, by the local republ-
cans The republicans are nervous. as the cam

known In the state They hope for a surprise In
the way OF large majority. In private the demo-
Gratis are not as confident as they We're week ago
MI. Blaine Will leave here tomorrow morning TO

GOV. HoADLY CONFIDENT OF DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
Columbus special to New York World GienD
Not only is Gov. Hoadly very confident OF a DEM
ocratc victory, but he says he will not be at all
thinks that Mr.. Balne's canvass OF the state has
been without any material results, for this reason
IL Tor hone other, that the route was very poorly
laid out, more consideration being given conve-
nence or travel than 10 the location OF those classes
or people who could be held or won over to the
party by that character OF demonstration. For
instance, instead OF wasting his time I'm the West
ern Reserve, where the detection has been ineon-
siderable, Mr.. Blaine should. the governor thinks
have canvaSSed such regions as the counties OF
MeigS and Gallia, where the d!saffection really
exists, and where, If he has the magnetism claimed
for him. he might have been able to cure It, As 80
the German vote, Gov. Hoadly estimates that fully
StX-SeventhS OF the Germans outside or the large,
cities, such as Cincinnati and Cleveland. are with
the democracy Inside the cities the proportion Is
not so large, for the reason that the Germans are
very much Influenced by what they read and the
press there has taken such position as to check
the detection 10 some extent As to the Irish vote
Gov. Hoadly says he has yet to find the evidence TO
support the republican Claims. and calls attention
to the fact that the Irish names mentioned i'm proof
OF detection are very few. lie estimates that
that the larger part OF IL win come from the mining
districts, where the republicans were strong. The
ST John vote he thinks with not be nearly so large
as Is claimed for IT, and while it may possibly reach
10000, he Is quite certain it VIII never 60 TO 5000
