The Ohio Political situation.
CINCINNATI, October 12th-The election
in Ohio tomorrow is for Governor and
other State officers, and for members of the
Legislature which shall elect a successor to
John Sherman, United States Senator This
gives peculiar interest to the election of
members of the legislature Estimates
that purport TO be based upon polling of
the State by the Democratic and Bepubli-
can committees give widely different re-
suits. The Democratic estimate elects
Goyernor Hoadiy by from 10000 to %. GOO
plurality. The Republican estimate elects
Judge Foraker for Governor by from I2.0OO
70 louoo pluraIlty. The estimates on the
Legislature by both parties make the result
close, although both claim majority The
element OF uncertainty in the election of
Governor is the Prohibition vote. 1t is gen
orally conceded that its increase will be
mainly from the Republicans. This vote
two years ago amounted TO S,3G2. The
Democratic poll this year estimates ii at
$1,000. The Prohibitionists themselves
claim still greater vote. 1t is possible
that many who vote for Dr. Leonard. on
the Prohibition ticket, will vote for their
former party on the Legislature, so that the
vote for Governor will not indicate exactly
the complexion OF the Legislature. In Gin.
clnnatl various efforts have been made bv a
bipartisan committee TO detect and nun
ish frauds in registration Their efforts
reveal startling crime in this direction
They have prepared and viii print to-day n
list OF I.4up iraudulenlly registered nSmes.

| have been given. They have issued seven
warrants for the arrest Of persons violating
the registration law, but no arrests have vet
been made. There is no anticipation OF
disorder at the polls. Voting places have
been greatly increased and crowds about
them will be accordingly smaller. Besides
the new law prohibits persons from con-
gregating within 100 feet of the polling
places.
CLOSE FIGHT PREDICTED.
NEw YORK, October 12th.-Ohio specials
state that the election tomorrow will he
very close, and that it is impossible to pre-
dict the result with any approach to GER
tainty. The Times says: The Republicans
apparently are more confident than the
Democrats. They claim a plurality of
polled. In that provisionary clause lies the
chief danger. The poll is from house to
house, but in case even n small percentage
should remain at home the y LOCO plurality
could soon be wiped out The Republicans
estimate gives the Prohibitionists l5OOO
votes, and both branches of the General
Assembly are claimed The Democrats at
headquarters place the Prohibition vote at
25,000, and claim the State by from 5000 to
10000, with small majority in both
branches OF the Assembly.
LAST LOOK OVER THE BArrLE-FIELD.
New YORK, October 13th-A. M.-A last
look around by the critics of to-dav's Ohio
election leaves scarcely anything new to
report. The specials to the Democratic
papers generally favor that party, and the
same is true of those TO the Republican
papers.
The H0rlds Washington special saws
A gentleman, who is in receipt of special
information from Ohio, says the whole
battle there is for the control of the Legis-
lature, and that leading Democrats there
are much more anxious to control the Leg
islaiure and defeat Sherman than to accom-
plish anything. If they should elect Hoad-
ly and lose the l. L'gislature, they would re-
gard the victory as II very empty one. He
says Mclean and Payne have united their
forces for the purpose Of doing everything
they can to get the Legislature. 1t has
bttil an hllNitIlldilu liGill on DOIll SlOeS,
with the Legislature as the direct object
always in view. Sherman has made his
fight without regard to Foraker, in the
same way that some of the Democrats are
fighting without regard to Hoadly
The Political Situation in Virginia.
New York, October 12th.-The Horlds
special from Richmond says: The Republi-
can party Of this State is said TO be better
organized this fall than ever before. and it
IS feared the DemocIas have relied too
much upon their former strength for their
| own good, and have neglected TO secure or
ganization. The colored ministers of the
Gospel now throw their full influence in
favor of strict adherence to the Republi-
can party, and Democratic efforts to get
any considerable colored votes will be
useless. The Republicans seem to
have an abundance of money for cam
paign purposes. They claim four of the
members of the House Of Delegates as
certain, with only twenty doubtful, and
the heavy work OF the contest will be for
these twenty. If fthey capture a majority
ofthese, the Democrats are defeated. The
feeling between John S. Barber and John
Daniels, both of whom are candidates for
the United States Senate has done the
Democratic party harm, and the greatest
effort Of the party will barely save the State
now till the election, Lee may he sue
cessful by small majority.
