LOOKS ROSY FOR REPUBLICANS
1ieht Vote Predicted in Many States,
Although Fair Weather is
Forecasted.
PLURALITY RECEIVED BY NASH
In Ohio Will be a Great Victory for
Republicans Under Exist
ing Conditions.

CINCINNATI, Nov. G.-There are six
candidates for governor to be voted for
in Ohio tomorrow. Three OF them
clalm their election is sure The Jones
vote VIII reduce the vote OF all others,
,ncludlng that Of the ProhibItionists,
the Union Reform and the Social Labor
tickets, and the result depends very
materially on where most of the Jones
vote will come from. 1t is certain that
either George K. Nash, Republican, or
John r. Mclean, Democrat, viii be
elected. II Jones pulls NOR: from the
Democrats than from the Republicans
4he prediction Of Chairman Dick, that
Judge Nash will have $1,000 plurality
may be realized. But lf Chairman Sc
ward is correct in assuming that Jones
will draw more heavily from the Re
publlcans than from the Democrats,
then Mclean will be elected. The
Democratic managers have made much
capltal out OF the fact that JoneS here
tofore has been a Republican, that he
was himself connected with u 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 1t not for the fac
tEonal feeling which may also cost
Judge Nash some Republican votes. 1t
is conceded that ALL votes that can be
controlled by Governor Bushnell, ex-
Chairman Surtz and other antl-Hanna
Republicans will be cast for Mclean,
but this factiona; work may not be ex-
tended to Others on the Republican
STATE ticket. Meantime the Gold pem-
ocrats as well as the Bryan Democrats
-dFe supporting Mclean and there is no
factlonaI fuss among the Democrats.
The campaign has been bitter. dirty and
full Of charges and counter-ehaFges' 1t
is. of course, expected that this vicious
tendency will continus at the polls to-
morrow, and that there viii be many
arrests, especially in the cities.
