Columbus Special IN Pittsburgh pioatet
The Republicans OF ohio are in line
for great victory in November The
enthusiasm which prevails is unpreco-
dented in any former state campaign.
Their claims Of success are based
upon the harmony and unanimity
which prevail in the Republican ranks,
and the many reports Of accossions OF
Democrats in the various parts OF the
state. The inroads on the Democracy
are made more especially among the
soldiers, the workingmen and the bet
ter class Of the business men who have
been taught lesson during the past
six months. 1t is claimed at the Re-
publican headquarters that Democrats,
as such, will flock with any great unan-
unity to the Republican ranks. 1t IS
conceded they will vote their ticket and
await the results. The facts, as they
come to the surface, are based on some.
thing stronger than conjecture.
While coming to this city last even
ing from Cincinnati, eX-Speaker Thos.
B, Reed and Ex-Governor J. d; For
aker were joined on the train at Wash
ington G. II. by several Republican
clubs. One OF the strongest OF these or.
CARNATIONS was n soIdiers's club, and
among the number were TWENTY-FIVE
men who formerly voted the Demo-
cratic ticket.
FORAKER AEoUsING THE SOLDIER FEELING
They made prominent display, and
announced themselves positively for
Mckinley and in opposition to Hoke
Smith and his methods. Clubs OF this
character are being organized all over
the state. In his speech Governor For
aker made prominent this feature OF
the campaign and scored great hit IN
his discussion OF the present admins
tration and it's attitude toward the
Union soldier.
A visit to the headquarters OF each
state committee this afternoon develops
that the Republicans are hopeful and
enthusiastic, while the Democratic
committee, or rather its chairman,
makes very little claim and has moth.
ing to furnish in the way OF circumstan.
tial drift to indicate success in Noyem.
Der. The Republican, committee has
about completed its poll OF the state
though it is unable to give out any deli
mite figures to pointing to results. Tho
poll will be substantially completed
within the next two weeks. Their best
information comes from the massive
correspondence from local committees
and prominent Republicans in all parts
OF the state, as well as reports which
have been made OF the character OF the
meetings which SO far have been held.
The committee discovered early in the
campaign that they would be unable to
cali into services manyot the leading Re.
pubhcans, especially members OF Con-
gress, owing to the fact thar the extra
session demanded their time that Wash.
ington.
HOME TALENT IN THE FIELD.
Hence, they concluded they would
make the best OF the situation and mp.
propriate local talent in all parents OF
the state. 10 this end they conferred
with local committees in the counties
and districts and organized n sort ei
bureau, in which each committee was
expected to take care OF its part OF its
part of the work OF the campaign. BY
speakers have been on the stump in
different parts OF the state, and they
have made great Impression.
Tho state committeehas favored them
so far with the more important speak
ers, but the found it impracticable to
meet more than per cent OF the de.
nands that were made for speakers OF
this kind. They were unusually anx.
ions 10 have Governor Mckinley, aud ii
the requests had been recognized where
they desired his presence, he could not
have filled more than ono ont OF ten OF
the engagements. There was not u
county in the state but made requests
for Governor Mckinley to mako speeches
and in most instances nearly every city
and town within each county wanted
him.
After scaling down, it is found that
the governor will have made, a the
close of the campaign, seventy-two
speeches under the auspices OF the com.
mittce, beginning September l2.
ABIG RECORD FOR SPEECH MAKING.
This did not include many addresses
which he has delivered while en- route
to and from his regular appointments,
where he has spoken in many instances
three or four times a day. The com.
mittee had not assigned him for more
than two meetings each day, aud these
he has promptly filed up to the pres
ent time. 1t is estimated that he will
have been in IS out OF the IS counties
in the state, and will have made over 10
speeches outside these designated by
the committee. This will make, in all,
about 40 speeches which Governor Nc.
Kinley wilihave made during the camp.
aign. Had it not been Tor the neces.
sity Of his attending the Worlds Fair,
it is thought he could have accomp-
lished the unparalleled teat OF visiting
every county in the state.
The next speaker OF prominence to
Governor Nc Ainley who has done SER
vice on the stump, is ex.Congressman
Horr, OF Michigan. He has been in the
western and southern sections, and is
assigned to October 81. He will have
made tifty.ive speeches in the state ii
he remains.
