Congressman viii certainly bs democratic, He
says this estimate Is based upon the returns
from various county committees, but ackuowl-
edges that to accomplish such n result the full
democratic vote Of the state will be required.
Chairman Hahn, ON the other hand, in q
statement given ont to the press last night. en-
tiers into detailed estimate Of the pluralities
which his party will get in the various counties
Of the state. He claims the election of the
entire state ticket, headed by Daniel J. Ryan
for secretary, by plurality Of IL, 295. He says
that the republicans will surely get eleven or
nine Congressmen and the prospects are en-
couraging for getting eleven, either case being
large gain over the number conceded by the
democratic gerrymander.
M'KINLEY's DEFEAT PRACTICALLY CONCEDED.
An analysis Of his estimate, however, shows
that he practically comedies the defeat of Nc
Kinley. He places the republican plurality Of
Medinea county at I 100, and says the total
democratic plurality in Holmes, Stark and
Wayne will be 5000. These four counties
compose the sixteenth congressional district,
and according to the foregoing republican fig
ures the net democratic plurality there on the
state ticket will be !, 800. Mr. Hahn says, how
ever, that the vote on the state ticket is no in
dication OF the probable congressional vote,
and while he does not claim McKinley's cleo
ton he says the majors chances are good.
GEN. oRosvENoR's OPINION.
Gen. Grosvenor, who returned few days
ago from tour OF the Mckinley district. says
that the result OF the election is q matter of
grave doubt. He talks very reasonably Of the
outlook and says that McKinley's chances are
veay slim. This opinion from the general was
for publication and therefore oil the more val
liable as an indicator. Charges Of the use of
Doodle, both in the Mckinley Warwick district
and elsewhere throughout the state, are still
current. They are made by both parties.

GONE BY DEFAULT
Three Ohio Districts Which Repub-
licans Have Neglected.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
CINCINNATI, Nov. 3.-No doubt is felt by any
one that ell the republican candidates for state
officers will be elected by atleast 10 900 majority.
In some places Ryan, candidate for secretary
OF state. is being recklessly traded for the con-
gressional candidates, and for that reason he
may run behind the rest Of the ticet.
The election Of e1-Gov. Foster In the
eighth district which is democratic by
1880, is almost certain. There are
several hundred new voters in the district
attracted by new glass factories and potteries
in most Of which Foster is interested. He is
personally very popular.
FIGURING ON MKINLHY
There is no question that Mckinley has
trimmed the democratic vote Of his district
down to small point 1t is now asserted
that he will carry his county, Stark.
by from 600 to 800, although it has naturally
been democratic by about 500. He will get
most Of the votes of the Dueber Hampden
Watch Company employees, numbering 1000
They are all new voters, the establishment
having located in Canton within the year. The
result hinges on Holmes county, which has
given 2, 100 democratic majority.
Mcklnleys managers think he will 20 to
Holmes with majority Of some 1900. He
made 1--WE speeches in the county last week and
hopes to keep the majority there down to about
among the democrats Of the county.
DEMOCRATIC SURPRISES.
1t is now apparent that democrats will be
elected in at least three districts which might
have been carried by the republicans had
proper effort been made. The former have
had plenty Of money and have done better
campaigning.

very extraordinary case has been made
known in St. Louis by the filing Of an applica-
ton for a change Of name by miss" Theresa
Blennerhassett, a member Of the well-known
family Of that name. The petitioner is the
daughter Of Richard s. Blennerhassett, son Of
John Louis Blennerhassett youngest son Of
the Blennerhassett Of the Burr conspiracy
fame. She states in her petition that on Oc,o-
Der 10, 1871, she was married to John Calvin
Adams at Odin, Ill, and lived with him until
November, 1871, but that at the instance of her
family she kept her marriage q secret Her
husband WAS killed on the latter date, and
still at the solicitation Of her family she con-
tinued to be known Miss Theresa Blenner-
hassett The petitioner says she has acquired
property since her husbands death. the title to
which is being investigated in her maiden
name Of Theresa BleDnerhassett. Wherefore
she prays the court to establish her legal
name as Theresa Blennerhassett Adams.
The story back OF the petition is rather ro-
mantle. Theresa Blennerhassett, in spite of
the bitter opposition Of her relatives, clandes-
timely married Adams, who was a traveller for
a st. Louis business house. Together they
went on flying trip to the east. She returned
to her home on account Of the sudden illness
of her mother, and arranged with her husband

Her child has grown up in ignorance of her
true relation to her ''foster mother" and is
now beautiful girl of eighteen. The present
proceeding, which lays bare the secret, is
brought rs much to protect the girl and to
insure her unclouded title as because of the
mothers desire to have her legal status defined.
Theresa Blennerhassett Is now about fifty years
old, and had always been looked upon as an old

REPRESENTATIVE rwARr's (HASoEs.
There is hardly doubt of the defeat of
Congressman Ewart, republican, in the ninth
district. This is really the strongest demo-
cratic district in the state, there being fewer
negro voters, and the election of Crawford to-
morrow by a robust majority is gener-
ally conceded. This is the district
which was represented for about fourteen
years in succession by Gen. R. B. Vance. brother
to the Senator, and assistant commissioner of
patents under the Cleveland administration.
Ewart is the only republican the district has
sent to Congress since the days Of "reconstruc-
ton" He defeated Johnston two years ago
under conditions which do not exist today,
with Crawford rs his opponent, and although
be at first was supposed to have made some
capital by the speech he made against the force

that he lodged the vote when the roll was
called in the House to pass the bill.

Bum, democrat Qawyer), will be returned from
the fourth; Alexander, ex-presldent of the
state alliance, will have a walk-oyer in the
sixth; Henderson and Cowles, democrats claw

1t will thus be seen that five of the eight
democrats who will be elected to the next Com
gress will be new men, and four Of them are
alliance men, but also lifelong democrats, and
they will undoubtedly 60 into the democratic
caucus. Thus the democrats will gain two
congressman from North Carolina. The Lodge
