SPRINGFIELD, o., Oct. 12.-The Globe
Republic this morning publishes the fol-
lowing resume Of the situation politically
in Ohio, in the form Of an interview with
Hon. Asa Bushnell, chairman Of the state
Republican Executive Committee: "ohio
may be put down." said Mr.. Bushnell,
"for Foraker by plurality Of from 1900
to 10000. believe that the Germans are
largely with us, especially in Cincinnati,
Toledo and Cleveland. don't think there
is any doubt about it. AS to the Irish
vote, think 1t is with US this fall in fully
as large measure s it was last year. Idon't
believe there has been report from any
place this year where the Irish have gone
back to the Democratic party from the
stand they took last fall. As to the COL
ored vote, We have experienced no embar-
rassment whatever from that source.
There Is no dissatisfaction among the col.
ored people. They will vote almost to a
man for the Republican candidates. The
opposition to Foraker which was preva-
lent among them two years ago has almost
entirely disappeared, and they are now
practically unit in his support"
"Do you think the Prohibitionyote will
cut as great figure this fall as has been
anticipated"
AZ do not. No, we don't think the Pro.
hibition vote will be IS large as was ex.
pected. We don't think It will exceed
1900"
''How is the Western Reserve on the
Prohibition party question? Are they
making as much noise up there as they are
down here?"
II don't think the Third Party senti.
ment is rs strong on the Western Reserve
this year as it is elsewhere, and the
Republicans on the Western Reserve.
promise us their usual large Republican.
majority. l may Say in reference to the
Prohibition vote that the indications point
to larger percentage OF Democratic votes
going over to that party than in years
past"
."What do you suppose will be the re,
suit in Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties,
Captain Bushnell?' ri
"0ur information from Hamilton coun-.
ty is that it will go largely Republican;
that the Germans there are enthusiastic.
ally for our ticket; and that our maioIity
will be at least 4, GOO, and Cuyahoga coun-
ty is in Just about the same condition as
Hamilton county. The Germans and the
wotkingmen are with uS, and all adyices
are to the effect that they will give US
5000 or 1000 majority" 7t'
"Do you expect the Republicans to con-
troll the next LegislatureP"
Eyes, indeed. We shall undoubtedly
have majority in both branches OF the.
General Assembly. The Senate will be
Republican, but much closer than the
House." Il
"How will the labor vote be cast, in

continued hard times, the depressed con-

will largely vote for the Republican can

derstate his estimate Of Republican sue
cess rather than overstate it. In private
conversation not intended for publication,
he expressed himself more emphatically
than he does in the above, but he wished
it distinctly understood that his belief in
the coming Republican triumph Is con.
tingent upon every Republican doing his
duty. Victory yet might be stolen through
the la1ity Of Republican organization, and
the cessation Of Republican vigilance.
"0nly let US get the vote out, said Captain
Bushnell, land a Republican victory
Tuesday is assured"
A gentleman who was present at Re-
publican headquarters as the foregoing
interview took place, stated that Allen o.
Myers would assuredly be defeated for re-
election to the Legislature, that in one
precinct alone lS0 Democratic votes wonld
be cast against him.
