COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 12.-With rain
pouring down tonight and the indications
for its continuance tomorrow, with reports
from Cincinnati and Cleveland that the
LIQUOR men are rallying for Hoadly, and
with information from the Prohibition state
headquarters at Springfield their poll shows
~ 600 votes for Leonard. there
is more decentralization among the politicians
and gamblers than was ever known here on
the eve of an election. The turns to-day
have been in favor of the Democrats.
They have the most active managers, and
have the Republicans badly scared. Both
Republicans and Democrats concede the
ProhibitiOnists over 20, 600, and differ as to
which party will suffer most by it. The
Democrats claim the state by 5000 and
the Republicans by y, coo, but the poll Of
the Democrats. taken by their local commit
teemen, shows a majority of less than 10, 900
and the Republican poll shows less than
Il, eco for them. The Republicans have
the better organization of the two and their
figures are claimed 10 be reliable The in
side claim Of The Democrats is a good deal
like their outside claim Of -. 900. They
have run hop-skip-and-jump campaign,
and are depending

and the effects OF bad weather. The Repub-
LEANS have never carried Ohio on an in
clement day. With fair weather the Re
publicans would feel confident of the legis-
Iature. but tonight they are concerned for
the close counties. They have their Organl-
Zation perfect and may get their voters
around BY telegraph, but rural voters Will
not come out in rain. and reports
show rain all over tie state. There
is another thing that is operating strongly;
while the rain will affect the rural precincts,
the nti-PrChibitionists are active in the
cities for Hoadly and the Democratic ticket.
They say they are not opposed to Sherman
for senator, but that they are afraid Of a
high tax or another pr0hibitory amendment
in case the Republicans get the legislature.
The election is, in fact, surrounded with
more doubt Tonight in outside circles than
it has been for two weeks. The Democrats
are taking such cheer that they are making
special spErts in the cities, and the Repub-
licans are charging them with importing
repeaterS and thugs. The result on the
legislature in case the Democrats succeed in
getting out their vote best, will still be in
doubt The Democrats may have the SEN
ate, but the Republicans are pretty sure of
the lower house. No odds have been Of
fered,
But THE OFFERS TO BET
or the Democrats carrying the state are not
taken. and there are many offers. Gen.
Powell, chairman of the Democratic COM
mittee, expresses this belief for the reason
that private messengers have been at
them all day for adviceS as to whether to
accept the bets which have been offered,
even on HOadly since last night, but they
have advised their friends not to take the
bets, as the result was too uncertain.
The correspondence and kilograms which
have been received from Democratic head
quarters to-day from all over the state are
of the most confident character, and indl-
cate an increased vote Tor the Democratic
ticket in all quarters. \ chairman OF one
of the Republican county committees i'll the
eastern part OF the state was at headquar-
terS to-day and as he was from
the mining district he said Hoadly
would have gain of at least
10. 600 votes, While he thought Foraker
would lose from 10. 900 to $4,000 on the
Prohibition vote. Hon. Emil Rotha Of Gin
cinnati was in the city this evening from a
stumping tour over the state and he said
Hoadly would run ahead of his ticket at
least 1,50O in Hamilton county and that the
whole state ticket would carry, but he
thouhgt the legislative. ticket would
be divided. Chairman Bushnell of
the Republican committee has received a
number OF dispatches from editors in other
states during the day asking for his esti-
mate and he has uniformly replied that the
Republicans viii carry the state ticket and
have 4 working majority in the lower
branch OF the legislature. In private con-
verSation his information is of a different
character
