4 Much Mixed Political Situation in Both
Sfate.


COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 3l.-Never In the
history Of Ohio politics have so many
elements entered into the campaign. Per
haps never before has the result OF an
election been so difficult to forecast.
The Republicans, perhaps, have been
able TO keep their party more intact than
any OF the others, but even the he-
publicans are trembling from an Internal
malady whose power is as yet uncertain
There is a division in the party which Is
too factional 10 vote for Mr.. Hanna or
any one pledged to support him.
In the Democratic party in ohio the
old line Jefforsonians, who renowned the
doctrine OF free silver. have maintained
an organization which will poll from 1000
10 1000 votes next Tuesday. While they
will vote for their own candidate for
Governor in order 10 make showing they
will support the Republican Legislative
ticket as an Endorsement OF sound
money, and thus counterbalance Repuo-
lican losses 10 the anti-Hanna, prohibition
and negro protective parties and the stay
at home vote.
The free silver Democrats who are
supporting Mr. Chapman for Governor
and John 4. Mclean for United states
Senator were reinforced last year oy tne
Populists. General j. ;. CoNey has
gathered together considerable handiul
Of these men this year, and has depleted
the ranks OF the free silver Democrats

State ticket. More uncertainty sur

Republicans carrying the legislature out
