Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-11-03

paper But in q small hours burst of con-
| fdence Mr.. Jordan assured me that among
the IL names were those of Senator Sherman,
Senator Mcpherson and Congressman Nc
Adoo, of New Jersey; Senator from Mich
| igan, and Cabinet officer, all forgeries, OF
course,
AN AUDACIoUS sCoUNDREL.
This only illustrates the audacity of the
man who hoodooed and bunkoed Halstead.
Jordan made bitter attack upon Foraker.
Why Jordan don't like Foraker, the follow
ing aDecdote, vouched for as being true by
Secretary Doane, ,amusingly explains. When
Foraker went down to Cincinnati from
Highland county to practice law few years
after the war he was sneeringly alluded to
as a Highland county "greeney." The
young lawyer had hard Shedding for six
months, but was finally retained in Justice
Court case, his opponent being Ike Jordan.
Foraker dug In and worked week on the
case, and when it came to trial made an ar
gument so clear and so convincing that
Jordan was nettled. He rose and said that
he didn't propose that Cincinnati lawyer
should be dictated to BY "greeney," q
pumpkin from Highland county. Foraker
made 4 break for Jordan across some
benches, and Jordan fed downstairs and
angry pumpkins clutches when he sought
shelter in saloon. where he found a Knot
of friends. Foraker won his case as well as
putting his opponent to fight
THE FINAL FIGURES.
When The DISPATCH correspondent
sought the Republican headquarters at mid
night he found great rejoicing over the
tidings from Forsker's meeting in Cincin-
natl. Chairman Oonger, when asked for
his opinion of the situation, SAID: 1.-THE
prospects for an unusually large victory are
becoming more encouraging every moment.
An analysis of the figures now made by the
Democratic State Committee shows that
they concede us the State on their own
figures. A week ago they were claiming
the State by 5000 plurality, and in their
estimate they claimed ZOO plurality in
Hamilton county, LOO in Licking county,
and gave us only 700 plurality in Cuyahoga
county, 3,100 in Ashtabula county, 500 in
Geaugs county, 1900 in Columblans
county, 45O in Summit county and 1000 in
Trumbull county.
'Now they have reduced there claims on
Hamilton county to 1000 Democratic plu-
rality, and are admitting that they will not
get over !, 800 in Licking county, conceding
us at least $500 plurality in Cuyahoga
county, 1000 in Ashtabula county, 1900 in
Geauga county, 2. 500 in Columbiana county,
5000 in Trumbull county, 800 in Summit
county. You will readily see that in their
concessions
THEY HAVE GIVEN AWAY
their entire plurality as claimed a week
ago, and taking their estimates of the
counties now as compared with their esti-
mates a week ago they are themselves con-
ceding that our ticket will carry the State
by 1000 plurality. This is certainly
good showing for us, even from the figures
of the Democratic State Committee, but
our figures show much larger plurality
for our ticket. The poll already received
shows that we will carry the State by
nearly double the plurality which the Dem
ocratic State Committee concede to us, and
l can say to you frankly that our prospects
are growing brighter every hour"
Chairman Neal, when seen late tonight,
was jubilant over the Music Hall meeting
in Cincinnati, and said: "Campbell's
elected sure-sure." WALES.
