IN OHIO.
Cincinnati, o., November 6.-There are
six candidates for governor to be voted
for in Ohio tomorrow. Three of them
claim their election is sure. The Jones
vote viii reduce the vote of all Others,
including that of the prohibitionists,
the unioH reform and the social labor
tickets, and the result depends very
materially on where most of the Jon 3
vote will come from. 1t is certain that
either George K. Nash, republican, OF
John r. Mclean. democrat will be cleo
ted. II Jones pulls more from the dem
0crats than from the republicans. the
nrNdirtinn nf chairman Dick that
Judge Nash will have SO, 900 plurality
may be realized; but If Chairman Sew
!ard Ia correct in assuming that Jones
will draw much more heavily from the
republicans than from the democ a s,
then Mclean will be elected. The
democratic anage have made capt.
tai out OF the act hat Jones hereto
fore has been a republican,; that he was
himself connected with a trust" and
that he would not pledge himself to
vote for Bryan in 1900.
As Ohio is normally a republican
state, Jones could draw more heavily
from the Republicans and still not af-
feet the result were it not for the fac
tional feeling which may also cost
Judge Nash some republican votes.
lit is conceded that all votes that can
be controlled by Governor Bushnell,
e~x-Chairman Kurtz and other anti
Hanna republicans, will be cast for
Mclean. but this factional work may
not extend to others on the republican
state ticket. Meantime the gold dem
ocrats, as Well as the Bryan demOcr rats,
are supporting Mclean and there is
NO factional fuss among the democrats.
The campaign has been bitter, dirty
and full OF charges and counter
charges. 1t is of course expected that
this vicious tendency will continue at
the polls tomorrow and that there WI
be many arrests especially in the cit
Toledo, O., November Civilian
Cowel, manage OF Mayor Jones cam
paign today made the following state
ment:
II have no reason to change the fig
ures I have already made on the cleo
ton tomorrow. We will carry the state
and elect Mayor Jones governor by a
plurality of Sc, 900 and there is no te%ing
how much more. Will carry Toledo,
Cincinnati, Cleveland and in fact, near
ly every city in the state where there
rs any manufacturing interest. We
have completed a second poll Of thu
state and have every assurance that we
will poll 1896. 600 votes, figuring the total
vote at 900. 900. Our reports from tie
rural districts show that we will have
our share of the votes from these Sec
lions"
Mayor Jones closed his campa'g0 In
this city tonight with a mass meeting.
HANNA DECLINES TO MAKE AN
ESTIMATE.
Cleveland, o., November 6.-Senator
Hanna today reiterated the declaration
that Nash would be elected governor
alt tomorrow's election. He declined,
however, to make any estimate, saying
that any plurality received by Nash
would be a great victory for the repub-
lican party in Ohio under the existing
conditions.
THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.
Louisville, November GA quiet and
orderly election may be predicted for
tomorrow. While the feeling b. wee
the factions is al a rather high tension,
the general apprehension, it is thought.
wild do more 10 lessen the Likelihood of
an outbreak than the precautionary &C
tivity which has been noticeable today
among those who are directing the
movements of the municipal police and
the state national guard. If a clash
should occur, 1t is most likely to be
in Louisville.
At Bowling Green there has been a
particularly bitter fight between the
democratic factions and extra police
have been sworn in. = But at his and
other larger towns nothing more seri-
Gus than the usual election day casual
ties is expected.
In Louisville the greatest feeling has
been aroused. One democratic faction
controls the police, while h other has
made the alleged interference of those
with the local primary and election
machinery one of it's principal cries.
Mayor Weaver has issued a proclama-
ton appealing for order and c~autioning
ahe police.
Governor Bradley is in the city and
will remain here until after election. A
number of reports have been current
today as to orders said TO have been
sent to militia companies throughout
the state to hold themselves in readl-
ness for a call. The usual de1ail Of men
placed on guard at the armory OF the
Louisville legion in this city at e,ec-
ton times is on duty. In this state OF
preparedness, the authorities are wait
ing for the passing of tomorrow. Be
yond the anxiety which springs from a
knowledge of the feeling aroused in
the campaign and the possibility, al
ways present in a city election. of an
outbreak of trouble with a certain class
OF political workers, there is nothing to
indicate that the srvices of the militia
will be required.
The campaign closed tonight with
large meetings which were addressed
