CINCINNATI, Nov. 6.--Tomorrow the
electors of the state of Ohio will choose
q governor, lieutenant governor, treas
urer Of state, attorney general, judge of
the supreme court, member of 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 as
sembly, and county officers. There are
also two amendments TO the constitu-
ton to be voted on, one providing for
single representative districts in coun-
ties where more than one representa-
tive is elected, and the other taxation
amendment.
The Republicans have practically re-
nominated their present state officers,
which brings Governor Mckinley and
Lieutenant Governor Harris as candi-
dates for a second term. The Demo-
cratic nominee for governor is Law
renee T. Neal Of Ross county, and for
lieutenant governor w. A. Taylor of
Franklin county.
From the character of the nomina-
tions for governor it has necessarily
almost been campaign based on ma
tional issues. Governor Mckinley g
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 subject, with some ref
erence to the currency question and to
| the attitude of the administration to-
ward 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
| platform committee, has spent much OF
his time on the stump to controverting
McKinleys protection arguments and
enforcing his views in favor Of tariff
for revenue. Thus state issues have
been kept in the background. The
people have shown intense interest by
attending in unusually large numbers
all the meetings from the beginning OF
the campaign.

claimed the election Of Mckinley by ;
majority ranging from $4,000 to 10000
although Harrison's plurality last yeal
with which comparison will be made
was only 1,072.
The Democrats do not concede these
claims, but they are by no means so con
fident of carrying the state as are th
Republicans. The chairman of tn,
Democratic state committee states tina
he has made no estimate of the resul
and that he will not do so. He will
only say that he is hopeful Of making
good showing, and that he thinks tn
Democrats will carry the legislature, a
he thinks they will win in Hamilton
and Cuyahoga counties.
Chairman Dick of the Republican
state committee also declines to give al
estimate, but it is learned that the com
mittee feels as certain of carrying boil
branches Of the legislature as they do o
electing Mckinley. There is a sort o
understanding that they expect at leas
$4,000 plurality for Mckinley. Th
Prohibition party and Populists eac
have state tickets in the field.
