claims OF the Republicans are more extern
sive, and with Que or two exceptions they
claim every one of the Congressman,
all Of the State ticket and the electoral
vote for Mckinley by anywhere from S5,-
600 to 10000. They say that they are
absolutely sure Of the result in the State
and national tickets. as the poll Of the
State which they have been conducting
has been so thorough and so exact that
there is very little chance Of any estimate
made upon it being far out Of the way.
IN OHIO.
Cincinnati, Nov 2.--Altbongh the cam
paign usually closes on Saturday preced-
ing election, yet there were meetings
throughout Ohio and Kentucky the same
as heretofore. Numerous silver meet
ings have been held on the streets and in
the market places during the past two
weeks. These meetings were more active
to-day and tonight than ever, and much
feeling was manifested in certain quar-
ters. There is more interest taken here
in the result i'm the border State than
in Ohio. Republicans generally concur
in the statement Of Chairman Kurtz that
Ohio win give Mckinley a larger plural
ity than it has ever given any candidate
for President or Governor, with the sim
gle exception of Brough's majority in
1863 of 01,000. While Chairman Me
Conville, Of the Democratic State com
mittee, has given out no official forecast,
yet the Democratic managers are claim
ing an even chance on the State, and even
on Hamilton county, which includes Gin
cinnati. The Republican county commit
tee claim that Cincinnati win give Me-
Kinley 10000 plurality, and that the
county will not reduce it.
IN IOWA.
Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 2.-The outlook
is for large vote in this State. A Re
publican paper here has made full poll
OF the State by counties and comes to
the conclusion that McKinley's plurality
will be 10000. Chairman Mcmillan pla
ces the plurality rather above than below
10000. Chairman Curry, of the Demo
cratic committee, still claims that Bry-
an viii carry the State, and claims the |
Second and Sixth Congressional districts
and chance for the Tenth.
IN CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco, Nov. 2.-Republicans
claim the State by from 1000 to 10000
Secretary Troy, of the Democratic State
committee, claims California viii give
10000 majority for Bryan. Republicans
claim all the Congressional districts ex-
cept the Fourth Democrats claim all
but the Fifth.
IN MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Nov. "a rumor is in cir
culation tonight that tLe Republican can-
didates for city offices have entered into
an agreement with the Democrats to
trade Mckinley votes for councilnanic
votes. The rumor is sufficiently definite
to cause considerable uneasiness in Re
publican ranks, as most Of McKinley's
vote viii come from the city, even the
most sanguine among the anti-Bryanites
admitting that outside of Baltimore city
the result is at least doubtful. Senator
elect Wellington, chairman of the State
committee, however, vigorously denies
that there is any truth in it. The chair
man of both State committees adhere to
their previous estimates and there is moth
ing on the surface to show which of them
is right.
IN NEW YORK.
Albany, N. Y, Nov. 2.-The claims as
to this State certainly differ to a larger
extcnt than in any campaign since the
candidacy of Horace Greely and hinge
mainly upon the vote for President in
New York City. The Democratic leaders
claim that they will win the city by a
plurality not to exceed 10000 and the
Republicans assert that they very small
ness of this claim is evidence that the
Democrats do not expect to really win.
The Democrats claim that Schoharie
county is certain to go for Bryan.
IN KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Ky, Nov. 2.-The situation
is unchanged Both sides claim the State
by from $4,000 to 10000. A report was
started to-day to the effect that Governor
Bradley has sent out arms to certain
sections to be used tomorrow If neces-
sary The reports from the armories,
however, show that the report is without
foundation
IN WISCONSIN.
Milwaukee, Nov. 2.-To-night Chair
man Beck claims the State for Bryan by
10000 and says five Congressman will
be Democratic. Chairman Coe claims
the State for Mckinley by 10000, and
says every Congressman will be Repub-
lican and the Legislature will Republi-
can.
IN INDIANA.
Indianapolis, Nov. 2.-Both OF the State
chairmen are confident of carrying the
State, but the betting would indicate
that the Republicans are the most conf
dent, as they are offering two to one.
Both Republican and Democratic chair
man are claiming the State by from
$4,000 to $4,000 majority. The vote Of
1892 will be used for calculations. The
Democrats carried the State then by z,
125. The Democrats are confident of
getting the labor and the railroad vote,
which is very heavy in this State, and
are also hopeful of large gains from the |
silent vote, while the Republicans insist |
that their gains in the cities cannot be |
overcome by the country districts.
