CINCINNATI, Ohio, November 5.-Dem-
ocrats and republicans in ibis state practi-
cally egree on one thing, ard that is that
the republican plurality on the state ticket
will reach up toward the 10000 mark. The
democrats reali zed this early in the CAM
paign, and have paid but little attention to
the state ticket, bending all their energies
toward saving some of their endangered
congressional districts. 1t locks now as If
the republicans would succeed in electing
fifteen of the twenty-one Congressman,
making a gain Of five. They hope to do
better than that and really claim seven
teen districts, but careful review of the
situation in each Of the districts will not
give them more than fifteen, and they may
fall short one Of reaching that number.
The two Cincinnati districts are counted
reliably republican. There has been moth
ing since the election of Mayor Caldwell
last spring to drive any republican from
the city is not only harmonious, but en-
thuSia site.
The democrats, on the other hand, have
met with considerable friction and 1t looks
as IL their vote in the city would be largely
reduced. The republicans are claiming the
election of Gen. Harris in the third district
but the chances are largely against him.
1t was thought for a while that Mr.. Outh-
waite. in the twelfth district, would be de-
feated by Watson. the republican candi-
date. but the outlook hasGchanged consid-
erably In Outhwaite's favor within the last
ten days. The district HAY heretofore been
largely democratic. but Mr.. Mckinley car
ried 1t last year by 0J0. and on that vote
the republicans were largely banking. The
republicans still look for Mr. Watsons
election, but they are not as confident as
they were few days ago.
Advlces received here by both parties
from Cleveland point to the success of Tom
Johnson in the twenty-first district. He
has made a desperate fight for his political
Ire. and 1t locks If he would win
me republicans have made a hard fight
In every district in the state, as If deter
mined not to concede their opponents any
thing, and this determined fight has ma
terially strengthened them in every part
of the state. Tom Johnson has not only
had to light the republicans, but very
strong and influential contingent in his
own party. and II he wins it will be III
deed n great victory.
The republicans are in no danger of losing
any of their old districts, but will largely
increase their pluralities in them. The dele
cation In the next Congress will stand
about as follows:
Districts-First, Charles p. Taft, repub-
lican; second, j. II. Bromwell, republican;
Layton, democrat; fifth. John s. Shook,
democrat; sixth, George w. Hulick, repub-
lican; seventh. George W. Wilson, republi-
