Confident Of the Legislature On
Joint Ballot, Though the Re-
publicans May Capture the

CINCINNATI, O., November 5.-on
Tuesday, November Z, the electors OF
the State of Ohio will choose Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer
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 Assembly and county off,
GERS. There are also two amendments
to the Constitution to be voted on, one
providing for single representative dis
tricts, in counties where more than one
representative is elected, and the other
taxation amendment.
The Republicans have practically re-
nominated their present State officers,
which brings Governor Mckinley ana
Lieutenant Governor Harris as candl-
dates for q 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 1t has necessarily
almost been a campaign based on ma
tional issues. Governor McKinley's
connection with the present tariff law
naturally brought him to the discussion
OF the principles of protection, and bis
campaign speeches have been largely
devoted to that subject, with some
reference to the currency 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 a majority Of the plat
form committee, has spent much OF his
time on the stump of contreverting
McKinley's protection arguments and
in enforcing mis- own views in favor OF
a tariff for revenue. Thus state Issues
have been kept in the background.
The people have shown intense interest
by attending in unusually large num-
herS all the meetings from the OeBln-
ming of toe campaign.
The Republicans from thu beginning
claimed the election Of Mckinley by a
majority ranging from 25, 900 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 con-
fdent 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 good showing and that he
thinks the Democrats will carry the
Legislature, as he thinks they will win
in Hamilton and Cuyhoga 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 they
do of electing Mckinley. There Is a
sort of understanding that they expect
at least 25, 900 plurality for Mckinley.
The Prohibition party and Populists
each have State tickets 10 the Held.
