CfSCtSShTl, W. NOV o'-Aue eNo Vi
hesitate election finds the Republicans
os confident as ever Of an overwhelming
plurality for Governor Mckinley. The
weather to-day is favorable and the
outlook Tor tomorrow is good, which
the Republicans believe is favorable to
n full vote OF their party.
Among the grounds of their belief in
the success OF Mckinley are the un-
usually large and enthusiastic meetings
he has held, the division among the
Democrats in Congress on the silver
question, the effect OF unemployed
WoyGmen and Of half time work in so
manv manufactures, and the intense
feeling aroused by the suspension OF
soldiers pensions. There is still dis
rosItion to claim the state by not less
ihan $4,000. This county is put down
generally in Republican estimates at
1000 plurality. 1t gave 3,47l plurality
for Harrison last year and the registra'
ton this year is within 1000 OF the un-
usually heavy registration OF lest year.
On the other hand the Democrats eX-
meet TO carry this county and Cuyahoga
for the legislature. In this county
there ia a reason for this in the fact
that IN independent ticket has been
nominated, ostensibly to rebuke the
alleged "boodler" nominees OF the other
parties. This will get its main support
from Republicans.
M'EISLEY PLEASED.
Governor Mckinley spent yesterday
in the city quietly, getting what rest he
could in preparation for the concluding
work OF the campaign. He received nu-
merous calls, however, but his visitors
showed great consideration for the gov.
ernor. and did not burden him with
lengthy interviews. He left last even
inc. and will make his last stated
speech at Cleveland this evening. He
is in splendid health and spirits, and
the visit to Cincinnati did him much
good in the assurance given him that
he would have rouslng majority IN
this city and county.
His meeting at Music hall Saturday
night was undoubtedly the largest ever
assembled in that famous house-at
least that is the verdict OF Republicans
and Democrats alike. He left for Cleve-
land with the confidence that the de-
!aonstratiou there this evening will not
in anv wav lessen his reason to believe
he will be reelected by one OF the
largest pluralities given governor OF
Ohio in many, many years. He is
greatly pleased with the brilliant wind
ing up Of his extraordinary canvass.
OUTLOOK AT COLUMBUS.
AttheIstate capital the interest is, OF
course, centersd in Tuesdays election,
but general opinion seems to be all one
way.
The most sanguine Democrats here
concede the reelection OF Governor Nc.
Kinley, and the only difference of opin.
ion is upon the size OF his plurality.
The most conservative Republicans
content themselves with the assertion
that he will have plurality at least as
large rs the one OF two years ago, while
others figure the plurality up to 10000.
The chairmen OF both committees
have departed from that custom OF
doubtful wisdom of giving official esti-
mates OF results. Chairman Dick states
simply that all the indications point to
glorious victory on Tuesday. Chair
man Seward says that he has every rea-
son to feel encouraged by the reports
which reach him from his organization
in the state, but refuses. to make any
figures.
COMPARISON OF RETURNS.
1t is a curious fact that the returns
this year will be compared with the
vote Of last year, when Hon. Samuel NJ.
Taylor was elected secretary OF state by
plurality OF 1859, but the vote will
not be compared with Mr.. Iaylor's vote
for the reason that there is no tabu-
lated vote by precincts for secretary OF
state. The vote will. therefore, be COM
pared with that OF the highest vote for
Daniord, Republican, and Seward, Dem
ocrat, for Presidential electors, Mr..
Dantord hn0ing received a plurality OF
1912, which represents Mr.. Harrison's
net plurality in the state.
The total vote last year was $50, l6l,
as follows: Republican, 405, ,lS7; DEM
ocratc, 4O4,ll5; Prohibition. 26,0l2;
iOpuIlsJi lfjoOU' 4MO Ho"'a "So NoN
ernor Mckinley received n net plurality
Of 2l,5ll over James L. Campbell and
the side shows. The vote that year was,
Republican, 3S6,739; Democratic, $685.
22S; Prohibition, 20,l90; Populist, 49,
l72. The Populist and Prohibition
situation OF two years ago was reversed
last year, the Prohibitionists leading
the party OF whiskers and perverted
fancy.
Tho total vote two years ago was 1885,
G29, or 54,5S5 less than last wear. This
is, OF course, accounted for BY the fact
that President was elected last year,
but it is thought that almost as large q
vote will be cast this year as last, owing
to the absorbing interest in the result.
II this condition materializes Governor
Mckinley will have the largest majority
since Brough.
Indications point to a pleasant day
and a big vote at tho election tomorrow
in thu section OF Ohio. The interest is
very great Estimates on the result
vary greatly. Some Democrats claim
that Neal will carry the state, but give
10 figures, while the Republicans look
for plarality for Mckinley from $4,000
to 10000. The governor is said BY those
who have talked with him tonight to
be confident OF his election by plural
ity larger than that he received two
years ago. which was above 2i,000.
