COLUMBUS, o., November 4.--In spite
Of the Disadvantages under which the
Democrats OF Ohio labor, they will
probably hold the Republicans this
year down TO about their usual plurality.
/ No one believes the Democrats can
elect any OF their STATE candidates.
Even Chairman Thurman aud Secre-
tary Taylor. Of the Democratic State
! Executive Committee, make the an
| nouncement for publication that they do
not expect 10 carry the state. Inc
REGISTER correspondent asked Thur
man and Taylor for their estimate OF
! the Democratic strength In the State
| last week. Chairman Thurman said
! the head OF the Democratic ticket
! would not be defeated by more than
! Is, OOO-aboHt the normal Republican
! plurallty-while the rest OF the Demo
! cratic ticket would probably be defeated
! by slightly larger pluralities. Secre-
tary Taylor thought the Democratic
! candidate for Secretary OF State, Milton
! Turner, would come about az near to
election a. he (Taylor) did two years
/ ago. He came within about thousand
| votes OF Ii. The rest OF the Democratic
ticket he thought would run behind
! Turner.
la the congressional elections, aRwn
ever, the Ohio Democrats have
doing much better. They cam
10 elect five congressman, aud mI
three or four others. The preseh
raReous Rerrymander Of the con
sional district was made by the he
licans with a view TO permitting
election OF only five Democrats aud
teen Republicans. At the last cOngresv
sional election, the only one that has \
vet been held under IL. the plan failed
and instead OF eiecting sixteen Repuoli-
cans aud five Democrats, eleven Demo
Gratis and ten Republicans were chosen.
While IL Is likely that the Republicans
will this year secure a majority OF the
delegation, II is quite certain that the
Democratic minority will be very re-
spectacle one.
Up TO few days ago the Democrats

there that meaus something BellaUN

Second district will no doub1 elect j.
H. Bromwel. the Republican candidate.
The Republicans virtually coneede
the election OF Paul j. SorR in the Third
district The district has . normal
Democratic plurality OF nearly $500.
A novice la politics, a young Republl-
can named w. ID. Danes, Ia trying 20
defeat Congressman +. G. Layton 10 the
| Fourth district AS Layton had 7.545
plurality two years ago, this opposition
appears 10 be an absurdity. Ia the
| Fifth district John j. Shook, Democrat.
will undoubted defeat 4. B. Dewitt.
Two years ago the district gave ID. ID.
Donavln, Democrat, plurality OF 4,664.
The Sixth. Seventh. Eighth, Ninth
and Tenth districts will be carried BY
the Republicans. They are Republican
districts aud all we're carried by The Re.
publicans two years ago except tbs
! Ninth, which elected B. Il. Richie,
Democrat. by the slender plurality OF ~
votes Ia the Eleventh district, G. II.
! Grosvenor. Republican, Will be elected
unless be II defeated by the POpulist
candidate, w. II. Crawford. Though
/ ID. K. Watson, the Republican cApdi-
date, assisted by the A. =. A., Is max.
ing a hard fight against j. II. Outh-
waite, In this district. the Twelfth, the
chances are greatly Ia OuthWalIe's
favor.
The Thirtesuth district will no doubt
elect Boston G.. Young, Democrat lt
isa Democratic district, and az the last
congressional election was carried oy
the Democrats by 4 plurality OF 6,249.
The Fourteenth aud Fifteenth districts
will be carried by the Republicans be.
yond a reasonable doubt; probably the
Sixteenth district will also. Congress
man j. A. ID. Richards Is certainly safe
in the Seventeenth district, as bis party
gave him q Democratic plurality Of
6,35f TO 1892 The Eighteenth, Nine
teenth and Twentieth districts are con-
ceded 70 the Republicans, bot the
chances are that the Republican TWen-
| ty-hrst district will be carried BY Tom
| l.. Johnson.
