Columbus Ohio, Nov. 1.-The work OF the Ohio
campaign. so far the State Committees are con
cerned, is practically ended, and what remains is
delegated 10 the county organizations of the contest
ing parties All indications point TO sweeping Re
publican victory for the state and legislative ticket
which will result in sending Republican TO the
United States Senate to succeed Senator Payne Colo
mel A. L. Conger chairman Of the Republican Execu-
tive Committee tonight summed up the situation
In this way:
Our reports from all parts of the state of the
most gratifying nature. From the western reserve
comes the intelligence that the Republicans
aroused and active and win give large maiorties
From the Northwest learn that there is every in
dication of full Republican vote. From the Ohio
River counties we have similar encouraging news,
while In Centrae Ohio confident that every
Republican will be at the polls From all the In
formation received these headquarters am led to
believe that there is not that apathy in the State
noticeable few weeks ago.
What will be the plurality for Governor Foraker
and the rest of the State tlcket?'
"Of course cannot give exact figures, but our
poll completed for 2,100 of the $500 voting pre-
cnct of the state after careful revision supplemented
by hundreds OF letters from men Of good judgment in
all parts Of the State indicates that. with proper work
and attention on the part Of ward and township
handsome plurality with his associates the state
ticket"
" How about the Leglsature?'
ave are confident that it Will be Republican in
both branches I now consider It certain that
will have the State ticket elected by handsome
plurality and the Legislature by good margin OF
course know what cOntending against, and
are relying Splendid organization in the state
to stand firmly and work undauntedly against the
forces of the Democracy, now literally supplied with
funds We believe that the voters Of Ohio understand
that defeat for the Republican ticket at this election
would vndicate those who perpetrated the notorious
election frauds of 1854 and 1850"
James +. Neal. chairman Of the Democratic State
Executive Committee, refused tonight to make
estimate of Tuesdays vote, but in general terms
predicted the election Of Campbell. 1t is learned
however. that the poll of the State made under d.
rectiOn of the committee does not indicate such re
suit. a correspondent Of Eastern Democratic
paper anxious to make a showing for his paper with
Chairman Neal, went over the poll by counties, and
the footings the gains and losses from their own
figures showed the election of Governor Foraker
though by reduced majority.
The saloon-Keepers' Association Of the State has
espOused the of the Democracy and is sending
out thousands Of circulars in the interest of that party
This has had the effect of drawing the better element
of the party 10 the support of Governor Foraker.
