ntvocRArIC METHODS OF FRAUD,
rto nomocratic leaders claim the state Win
great positiveness, but they are unable 10 snow any
,easons for their belief But the Democrats haNc
reasons. well-known to the Republican mahaee'S'
Those reasons are based on the efficacy oil balot ooN
shifting repeating and the use OF money. Inc Den'-
ocrats have had men travelling over the STATE i"i
weeks for the sole purpose OF ascertalnlhe where
,nonev could he used with the best elect ihere
nro ! 2oO towrships in this State, and tie Demo
cratic claim IS based upon the belief that IN eacn
town there are at least twenty shiftless men VINO
can he Influenced with money. That would make
oa 600 votes There is no registry law IN TINS state
hence Democratic rcpeatcrs have been distributed
IN nrecncts where there is large vote WIN lhe
nurnose of casting fraudulent ballots. In Cincih
natl and IN other cities there are precincts WHERE
over !, 700 persons have to vote at one poll hey
have from, q O'clock in the morning until o'clock
atncbt in which TO do it. That would make over
two votes minute for every minute the polis are
onen but in the forenoon the vote is light In inc
last few hours several will have 10 vote every MN
ute That will allow little time 10 scrutlnIze the
voters.
The Democrats have control of the election ohiceTs
and of the police With these facts before the pub
lie II will be seen that the talk OF Democratic frauds
has \ substantial basis. Morris Thomas, oil BaltI-

SOME DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATES.
Jobn G.. Thompson, who was claiming 5000
Democratic majority yesterday. reduced MS
estimate tonight TO 5000. lie said that at
least twenty Democratic newspapers had
asked him for an estimate of the result,
and that he had refused TO give any. Governor
Hoadly saws that the Democrats are sure OF victory
Governor Waller, of Connecticut who Is here, SAID
TODAY | look for 15, 900 Democratic majority II
we do not get il then will have no more faith IN
Democratic management. We carried the stare
last year we have the best organization q
fair share of the election officers, plenty
Of money for legitimate and every
advantage necessary for victory. Now II we do not
succeed then will have no more faith III the
night" such is the talk of other Democrats, show
ing that defeat will be TO them a great disappont-
ment. But 1t is such disappointment as they ex-
perienced III 1879 and again in 1850. Inc Demo-
cratic Committee tonight comedies Repubil-

Tee had a telegram from three prominent
Germans in Cincinnati assuring Repubhcan ma
3orty in that city. From Toledo there is report
that tiurd may be defeated for Congress- while the
Democratic majority of 1854 in Lucas County will
be reduced to 500 The Democrats carried Cuya-
hogs County last year. and their concession OF
Republican majority OF 1000 shows the change
that is going on in the German vote From all these
late reports il is becoming evident that the Repub-
heans can only be defeated by unparalleled
fraud, which IS not probable. Ii is most likely
that their majority will be larger than Is now
