DEMOCRATS STILL CLAIM OHIO.
CINCINNATI O.. oct. 3l.-The Ohio cam
uEiSn closed tonight with unusually large
demonstrations in the cities and in many
parts OF the rural districts. There has been
much speaking and much parading during
the canvass. and especially the part OF
the republicans in this state. The pilgrim
ages to Canton have done much to increase
the interest in this state. Before the cam
paign closed tonight there was con:es;
during the day between the republican ana
the democratic organizations to how
tho returns should be compared next Tues
day night. The democrats wanted cOmpari-
sons with the vote for Bushnell and Camp.
bell for governor in 1895 and the republicans
with the vote for presilt"- in 1892. a COM
promise was secured by which comparisons
will be made at least on the returns OF the
larger cities, where the polls close at y.
m with the vote for governor last year and
also with the vote for president in 1892. But
when the returns come in fast at a late
hour Tuesday night these dOIbe comparisons
may be found impossible and then com
parisons will be made only with the
presidential vote of 1892. In 1892 the Har-
rison electoral ticket carried Ohio by only
| ! 600 ana the lowest man on the Harrison
electoral ticket had less votes than the
/ highest CdUuludle on lue NltNtldUu tltCAuId NJ
| ticket, so that one electoral vote OF Ohio,
/ out Of its twenty-three electors, was cast
, for Cleveland and Stevenson. In 1898 Nc
/ Kinley had a plurality of over 10000 for
( governor, and in 1894 the republicans carried
/ Ohio by over l37 600 Last year Bushnell
| republican, had a plurality Of over $4,000
/ over Campbell. democrat for governor. II

gains for Mckinley In his own state. II

| licans say they Will carry Chic next Tues
Gay by the largest plurality ever known
except that Of 1894. The democrats claim

that the result will be even closer than al

/ ability on their adviCes of Bryan getting
! the electoral vote. While IL is claimed that
! Mckinley will get larger vote in this city
J than the republican ticket has ever had

IT'S ONE SIDED IN IOWA.
DES MONIES. la, Oct. 3l.-The cam
! paign in central Iowa closed tonight with
demonstration in Des Moines under the
! gold standard nonpartisan association. 1t
/ is estimated more than 5000 men were in
line. The silver men closed theirs with
/ parade on Wednesday.
Chairman Curry of the democratic state
/ committee, through Secretary Carr, has is
sued claim that the state will give Bryan
/ 10000 plurality. This claim is not based
on a poll of the state. but on letters from
! the different county chairmen.
Chairman Mcmillan of the republican
| state committee estimates that Mckinley
! will have at least rs 600 plurality. This
/ estimate is based on a careful poll Of the
| state. The later counties to report have
| strengthened rather than weakened the esti-
mates MIR. Mcmillan says he will not be
| surprised If the plurality will go much above
| tho first estimate.
In Des Moines practically every Yoter has
! registered The vote will be very fun all
! over the state. The Mckinley campaign has
| resolved itself into a nonpartsan one largely
| and in Des Moines ii is believed that the
vote will be at least three TO ! FOR the
! Ohio candidate.
! LINCOLN, Oct -(Special)-Chairman
! Post OF the republican state central com
! mittee gives out the following statement:
My former estimate of the result OF
! Tuesdays election stands; our average ma
! jcrities should be lear 90 600 We have
made gains everywhere during the past
| ten days. There is not weak spot in our
| lines. Our people are confident and fully
| ready for the final contest. Too high
| praise cannot be given TO the splendid
! corps OF speakers and workers who have
/ made the coming victory in this state pos
! sible. We expect Bryan TO attract consid-
! erable crowds OF people, but what would
! IL be il Mckinley should come TO this
! state? The opposition is already in full re-
treat. One more supreme effort will make
victory overwhelmingly complete
| BRYANITES BARELY CLAIM THIS.

! in this state practically came TO a close
! tonight. While a few party rallies are
| scheduled for Monday evening all the big
/ meetings have ended. The last one was
| held in Paterson tonight. Bourke Cochran
! the New York orator, delivered a gold

The republicans are confident OF carrying

DELAWARE SAFE FOR MKINLEY.
WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 31.-The politi-
cal situation in Delaware is fun Of uncer-
| tainty. owing to the fight in the republican
| ranks and the detection OF the gold standard
democrats Both the regular republicans
| and the union republicans (AddicksJ are
united on electors the regulars having en-
dorsed the union electors. From the best in.
| formation obtainable tonight II would APP
pear Mckinley ought to have 1900 majority.
| Much depends uron the control OF the float
ing vote Of 1000 in the lower counties. The
| gold standard democratic vote is estimated
at about 1000 and the single tax vote al
| about 600. The election OF the democratic
candidates for governor and congressman
and a democratic legislature Is practically
| conceded by the opposition.
