OUTLOOK IN OHIO.
The Buckeye State Likely to Re-
elect Mckinley.

CINCINNATI. Nov. 5.-Tuesday. Nov
Z, the electors of the state of Ohio will
choose governor, lieutenant governor.
treasurer of state, attorney general,
judge of the supreme court, member or
the board of public works and food and
dairy commissioner on the state ticket.
and on the county tickets they will
choose members of the senate and house
OF representatives, forming the general
assembly. and county officers. There
are also two amendments to the constl-
tuition to be voted on, one providing for
single representative districts in coun-
ties where more than one representative
is elected. and the other a taxation
amendment. The Republicans have
practically renominated their present
state officers, which brings Gov. Nc
KinleY and Lieut.. Gov. Harris
as candidates for second term.
The Democratic nominee for gov
ernor is Lawrence t. Neal, of Ross
county, and for lieutenant governor,
w. A. Taylor, of Franklin county.
From the character of the nominations
for governor it has necessarily almost
been campaign based on national is
sues. Gov. McKinley's connection with
the present tariff law naturally brought
him to the discussion of the principle
of protection, and his campaign speeches
have been largely devoted to that sub
ject, with some reference to the cur
rency question and to the attitude of
the administration toward pensioners.
On the other hand. Mr.. Neal, from
his position of author of the tariff plank
In the last Democratic platform, which
he had the honor to place there against
the opposition of majority of the plat
form committee, has spent much of his
time on the stump contraverting Nc
KinIey's protection arguments, and in
enforcing his own views in favor of a
tariff for revenue only. Thus state is
sues have been kept III the background.
The people have shown intense interest
by attending in unusually large num-
bers all the meetings from the begin
Mig of the campaign.
The Republicans. resting Oh the ma
tional reputation of their candidate,
and on the dissatisfaction among DEM
ocrats growing out of the financial de-
preston and the disagreement in con-
gress on the silver coinage question.
have from the beginning claimed the
election of Mckinley by maiorities
ranging from $4,000 to 10000, although
Harrison's plurality last year with
which comparison will be made was
only 1,072.
The Democrats do not concede these
claims, but they are by no means so
confident of carrying the state as are the
Republicans. Chairman Seward, of the
Democratic state committee, states that
he has made no estimate of the result
and that he will not do so. He will only
say that he is hopeful of making a good
showing. and that he thinks the Demo-
Gratis will carry the legislature. as he
thinks they will win in both Hamilton
and Cuyahoga counties.
Chairman Dick, Of the Republican
state committee, also declines to give
an estimate, but it is learned that the
committee feels as certain of carrying
both branches of the legislature as it
does of electing Mckinley. There is a
sort of understanding that they expect
at least $4,000 plurality for Mckinley.
The Prohibition party and Populsts
each have state tickets in the field.
