Special Dispatch to THE EVENING srAn.
COLUMBUS. ONO, Nov. q
The Ohio campaign has about closed SO Far 90
speech making is concerned. The last grand
blow ont will be at Cincinnati, at which poiut
all the hopes Of the democrats center. Without
the whole of Hamilton county Mr.. Campbell
has. TO all appearances, but little hope. The
monster meeting held at Warren on Thursday
shows that the republican stronghold on the
western reserve is in its old time form, and
that the cheese makers are awake. IL was
at Warren where General Grant and Roscoe
Conking had the monster meeting in 1850, and
II was there that the tide was turned in favor
OF Gen. Garfield. The meeting on last Thurs
day at the same place was equally as large, and
the whole western reserve was represented
Maj. Mckinley and other prominent speakers
were present As in all campaigns there are
uncertain quantities that no one can estimate.
Ii is now believed that the number OF republi-
cans who will scratch Gov. Foraker has been
overes.imated. Everybody comedies that Gin
cinnati is the weakest spot on the republican
line, but very shrewd politicians admit there
may be a change in Hamilton county before
Tuesday next
THE SALOON KEEPERs
Some good democratic judges express the be-
lief that the saloon keepers combination will
weaken aud fail the democrats in the trying
hour. Ii Is powerful combine, but Its strength
Is quite apt to prove weakness. The organ
izatIon is making its fight to secure the election
of Legislative candidates pledged to repeal the
Sunday Law. IL it Is discovered that the repub-
licans Will have a majority in the legislature
outside of Hamilton county the combine is lla-
bic TO go to pieces. Ii is known here that
many democrats IN Hamilton county will vote
for republican legislative candidates because
OF the arrogance of the saloon men. Conced-
ing Hamilton county 10 the democrats to
MIR. Campbell the indications at this time
strongly point to a divided legislative ticket
with the chances in favor of the republicans
electing five Representatives and at least one
senator.
While Mr.. Campbell will poll a very heavy
vote in southern Ohio he ls not at all formida-
BILE in the northe, section and cannot hope to
poll the full party vote in any Of the WOOL
growing counties. such shrewd observers as
Hon George l.. Converse do not hesitate TO say
this. Mr.. Converse has also expressed the opin-
ion that no party could carry Ohio upon a free
trade or free wool clause in the platform.
THINGS THAT CHEER THE BEPUBLIcANs.
r:hlic opinion as well as the willingness Of
the sporting fraternity to bank on the election
of Gov. Foraker, with no hackers OF Campbell
willing TO put up money, is calculated to cheer
the republicans aud at the same time bring
oul an unusually large vote considering that
this is an of year. Ii will also have tendency
TO give the republicans the advantage Of the
floating vote.
Nothing has transpired during the past few
days that would justify any change in former
estimates that the republicans will elect their
state ticket by pluralities ranging from 10. 90
to IL 900. f. w. s.
