OHIO ELECTION.
Ex-Gov. Foster Predicts Great
Republican Victory.
Ex-senator Sherman Furnishes PoIiti-
cal Capital for Both Sides.
Supports Nash But Opposes the President Z
Philippine Policy.

Cincinnati, Nov. 5.-The most signif-
/ cant development in the Ohio campaign
since yesterday is the prediction made
| by ex-Gov. Charles Foster. who has
been speaking throughout the state foi
| the Republican ticket He estimates
| the total vote of the state at 900 OF
| which Nash, Republican. will get not
less than 4G5, 900, Mclean. Democratic
not more than 10000 and Jones. non
partisan. and all others, will divide
the remainder.
But after giving these figures on
Nash and Mclean, Mr.. Foster said
there was strong probability that
Jones would cut down this estimate
on the leading candidate. but IL he did,
three-fourths of the cutting would be
on the Mclean vote.
Mr.. Foster predicts that outside of
Cuyahoga and Hamilton counties,
which include the cities of Cleveland
and Cincinnati. the Republicans will
elect not less than IS senators and SO
representatives, which would give both
Houses to the Republicans. as the
Democratic ticket in Hamilton county
has Republicans on II.
A peculiar feature of the campaign
has been the use by both parties of the
utterances Of Ex-senator John Sher-
man. II is well-known among public
men in Ohio that Senator Sherman has
a warm feeling for Judge Nash, and,
therefore, il is not strange that the
Republican papers. today. and hereto
fore have published kilograms from
Mr.. Sherman showing that feeling
one printed, today. addressed to Chair
man Dick Of the Republican state COM
mittee, says:
II feel the deepest solcitude for the
election Of Judge Nash. 1t will mean
victory for sound money and prosper
ity.''
IT is also well known that Mr.. Sher
man has not "A cordial feeling for
President Mckinley and Senator Han
ma and that he openly antagonized the
Presidents Philippine policy Hence
the Democratic papers have been pub
fishing interviews and dispatches from
Ex- Senator Sherman indicating his po-
sition in that regard.
One of the latter addressed to the
editor of an Ohio Democratic paper
contains the following:
II am strongly opposed to the en-
forced annexation OF the Pnlllpplne Is
lands. The seizure of any part of the
Philippines against their will is a gross
violation of the laws of nations.
1t is claimed by Republicans that the
alienation of Republicans who disagree
with the administration on the Philip
pine question will be more than offset
by Democrats who believe in upholding
the government and who oppose the
silver policy to which the Democrats
are pledged.
