In Omaha the battle has been hot-hot-
ter, in fact. than any previous contest,
according to the testimony Of local poll
ticians. Early in the fall the city was
startled by the discovery that the city
treasurer and his deputy were short $50,
Geo. They were at once removed. Old
irregularities were discovered in city de-
partmsnts, and a committee composed OF
100 of Omaha's most prominent business
men met and issued call for all citl-
zens favoring reform to organize Citi-
zens' league. This was done, and a
ticket composed of business men Of var
iouns political affiliations named. 1t was
endorsed by the Democrats and Popu,,
lists. The Republicans were controlled

assembly. The Democratic candidate for
governor is Alexander M3Gill, the present
chancellor of the state. His opponent is
John W. Grigrs. The election is clai m ed
by bob parties by between 2000 and 5000
The voting will probably be light
throughout the state. except in Isolated
counties, where local fights as to assem-
bly, tickets have added zest to the CAM
paign. In the large counties the registra-
ION is light ana in favor OF the kepubll-
cans. The same campaign has been
fought on the same issues upon which
the Republicans carried the state IN the
last two elections. The race track and
adm straton of state affairs by the
Democrats during the ten years proceed
ing 1898 wers the issues raised by the ne
publicans. The Democratic leaders claim
they will control the assembly, but to do
this they will have to carry Essex county,
which they ooncede to be Republican on
the state ticket
OF the sixty mem ers of the last house,
fifty-four were Republicans.
National issues haev not entered INTO
the fight in this state to any great extent.
Both sides contented themselves with
state affairs.
OHIO.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 4.-On the even
ing of the election the betting here is on
the extent of the reduction of the Demo-
cratic plurality In Kentucky and OF the
Republican plurality in Ohio, rather than
on She result in either state. In Obi
the Republicans have bad phenomenal
pluralities for two years, and claim now
a better organization than ever. They
held an early state convention and went
to work Immediately.
This Democrats held late convention,

larity of Ex-Governor Campbell will get
out the full Dem oCrUtlc vote and show
close contest. While both parties have
paid special attention to the legislature,
which selects a successor TO Senator
Br.ce, it is conceded that the Republic
Caus have an advantage in the appo.tlon-
msnt, which stands til after tbs census
OF 1900. Senator Sherman has had Demo-
cratic colleagues by the state going Dem
ocratic every six years since Allen g.
Thurman was CHOSEN senator by the leg
jslature elected in 1867. Thurman served
twelve years; Pendlcton. PAYNE and Brice
each six years. The Democratic state
ticket might be elected by q decisive
plurality and the legislature be Repubi
can. 1t is conceded that the Republicans
can control the legislature without Ham
Ilton county, in which Cincinnati is To-
Gated but that the Democrats must have
the fourteen members from Hamilton
county in order to get legislative ma
jority. As Ex-Governor Foraker. who
lives here, is a candidate for Br;ces'
place. great interest is taken in the result
in Hamilton county. The betting at
odds is on the legislature going Repuhli.

Ex-Governor Campbell Tor the legislative

Governor Mckinley remarked this eve

through with not less than 10000 plural

Last year the Repu blicans carried the
state by i31 os7," said be, but the vote
was about 60, 900 short. Now, figuring
literally. l don't see how Mr.. Campbell
car possibly get more than 500, 900 votes
this year. Last year his party polled
only 276, 500 votes, so you see | have
treated him well IN my calculations.
Last year the Republicans polled 413,9

LOUISVILLE Nov. 4.-Ono of the hot

though there are four tickets in the field,
is between the Democrats ana Republi-
cans for the state officers, beginning with
governor and running down TO distri

looked as though the Populists would poll
the largest vote, hut the old parties have
whipped The would be deserters back INTO
