GREAT EXCITEMENT IN OHIO
AND A CERTAINTY OF DEM
OCRATIC SUCCESS.
NEW YORK CITY IN DOUBT.
ALL PARTIES PUT IN THEIR
FINAL LICIAS AND PREDICT
VICTORY.
IOWA DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT.
They Expect TO Defeat Gen. Drake
ana 9IalSe Good Showing in
the Legislature.

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 4.-On the
eve of election the betting here is on
the extent of the reduction of the
Democratic plurality in Kentucky
and the Republican plurality in Ohio
rather than on the result in either
state In Ohio the Republicans have
had phenomenal pluralities for two
years, and claim now a better or
ganization than ever before. They
held an early state convention and
went to work Immediately. The DEM
ocrats held a late convention, but
claim that the popularity and ag-
gressiveness of eX-Gov. Campbell
will get out the full Democratic vote
and show a close contest. While both
parties have paid special attention to
the legislature, which selects sue
cessor to Senator Brice, it is conceded
that the Republicans have an ad-
vantage in the apportionment,w which
stands till after the census of 1900.
Senator Sherman has had Democrat
| ic colleagues by the state going DEM
ocratic every sixth year since Allen
llul llltIl was ClloSCll SOllettO1 W
the legislature elected in 1867. Thur
man served twelve years, Pendleton,
Payne and Brice each six years. The
Democratic state ticket might be
elected by a decisive plurality and
the legislature be Republican. It is
conceded that the Republicans con-
troll the legislature without Hamilton
county, in which Cincinnati is locat-
ed, but that the Democrats must
| have the fourteen members from
Hamilton county in order to get
legislative majority. AS eX-Gov.
Foraker, who lives here, is a can
didate for Brice's place, great inter-
county. The betting at odds is on it
going Republican. The prohibition
lists claim the usual vote. Gen. Cox
ey estimates 10000 votes for himself
as the Populist candidate for gov
ernor. 1t is believed that neither
the third or the fourth party will
affect the contest between Gen.Bush-
nell and ex-Gov. Campbell or the
legislative tickets. There is indica-
ton of rain in Ohio tomorrow. ~
M'KINLEY'S PREDICTION.
MASSILLON, O., Nov. 4.-Gov. Nc
Kinley remarked this afternoon that
the state ticket ought to go through
with no less than $4,000 plurality.
Last year the Republicans carried
the state by 137,OS7" said he, "but
the vote was about $4,000 short. Now,
figuring literally, 1 don't see how
Mr.. Campbell can possibly get more
than $685. 900 votes this year. Last
year his party polled only 276,902
votes, so you see have treated him
well in my calculations. Last year
the Republicans polled 413,9S9 votes,
so that if we only hold our own we
will retain comfortable margin.
Since 1892 we have polled over 4OO,-
600 votes each year, and we rarely
drop much below that. I anticipate
a reaffirmation of the verdict that
Ohio has registered every year since
the Inauguration of the present adj
ministration, and it's meaning this
year will be that second thought
confirms the belief that was so plain
ly felt in 1892 and 1893. 1t will mean
that Ohio is determined that the pol
icy under which we prospered for a
quarter Of century shall be re-
stored"
