TO-Dsy,s Battle.

CINCINNATI, oct, l3,-For once the
political prophets are entirely at SEA.
and to night 10th parties are clainil. 4
the State. Level headed men, how.
ever, who do not profess to be politica
prophets, and who belong to either on.
or the other great partiss, bal:eve tha,
Ohio will to morrow give majority
for the Republican ticket of over 10, 600
There are many Democrats, politicin n
of course, who aver that they W Ill carry
the State, but they are not willing tC
back mp their arguments with any.
thing more substantial than talk.
Such men as Richard Smith, Senator
Sherman, Chauncey 1. Filley and Com.
II issioDer Dudley say that the contest
is ended, and that the Republicans will
have majority that will aston ish their
opponents
They don't talk in any spirit of bra.
vado, but are now resting quietly with
a self-satisfied air that naturally gives
great hope to their followe ers. On the
other hand, the Democrats have great
expectations. Governor Hoadly, who
is in town today, but who will be in
Columbus tomorrow, says that he ia
confident OF Democratic victory. So
say, also, Senator Pendleton, John G.
Thompson and others of the leaders on
that side of the house. Thompson saws
that tho Democratic majority will be
nearly 10000.
That is all nonsense The Republi.
Cans are confident of carrying the State,
because they have the votes with which
to do it, and there is no doubt that they
will be cast. They have unquestion-
ably gained strength since the election
of ID adly. Their defeat then was
mainly due to the liquor dealers COM
binatioh to defeat the Scott law. The
liquor question is now practically out
of the contest, though 1t is openly said
that the Democratic Supreme Court
may before November declare the Scott
law unconstitutional.
Talk of the importation of repeaters
ia heard from 10th sides, and both par
ties have made preparations to nee that
no fraudulent votes are cast. The Re.
publicans in this city have large force
of United States marshals, and to offset
them Mayor Stephens has organized an
even larger force of Democratic police
men. There are only hfty voting pre-.
cints in this city, and to guard them
there will be fully two Thousand men.
There are q good many rumors of troub.
le tomorrow, and in fact 1t Is expected
not only here but In Cleveland.
Any attempt at illegal voting in Gin.
cinnati is bound to be frustrated, and 1,
10 feared that there is to be trouble,
More or less rowdyism is bound to pre-.
vail, az there are gangs of Democratic
roughs here from all parts of the east.
They will be mainly used in this city
and 1t is hoped by their employers tha,
while they will hardly be able to &C
much repeating, they will drive many
of The quieter class of Republicans from
the polls.
