..Tbes. NEWSPAPER stories about an increase III TIE
silver sentiment in Ohio are nonsense, ne saiu III
rofcrence to the campaign In his state IN 'he aS'
three weeks the Republican county chairmen nave
made two careful polls of the State. the hrs'
showed a majority of 5000 for Mckinney ana the
second one taken few days ago, showed ma
ioritv for him of about Co.ObD There Is no DOUBT
whatever that Mckinley Will carry the STATE o'
from C00o0 10000. thus breaking the l'eP"o'''',
record. 1t must be remembered thai the norman
Republican majority in ohio in a Presidential year
is only about 1900. We have carried the STATE ny
big pluralitics-as. for instance the aWo whch
Governor Bushnell got last year-but majorities are
different things. So. when the poll shows ma
jority of 10000 for Mckinley. 1t means that the he
publicans making very large gains
ANYBODY who has gone through the State in the
last month knows that the silver sentiment u M'i,
ing instead of increasing. In my own county Madi-
SON the poll showed a gain of more than two nun
dred votes In fact all the indications are that the
Ohio Republicans will gain az great victory az
the victories Of their brethren in Maine ana \er-
mont.
at is observable that i'm the Newspaper talk ABOUT
Ohio being in the doubtful column. no ONO "uthori-
ties are given The reason is that every Ohio man
who knows anything about the situation IN MS
State knows that Mckinley Is sure 10 carry H. Even
the Democratic leaders concede that much. when
not talking for publication. Indeed. ONO Is "s
surely Republican this year as pennsylvania
