The most significant development in cam
paign since yesterday is the prediction
made by ex-Gov. Charles Foster, who
has been speaking throughout the state
Tor the Republican ticket. He estimates
the total vote of the state az 975, 000 of
which Nash (Rep.) will, he says, get
not less than 465, ,600 Mclean (Dem) not
more than 10000. while Jones (non-parti-
SAM and all others will divide the re-
mainder. After giving the above figures
on Nash and Mclean, Mr.. Foster said
there was a strong probability that Jones
would cut down this estimate on the
leading candidates, but If he did three
fourths of the cutting would be on the
Mclean vote. Mr. Foster predicts that
outside of CuyahOga and Hamilton coun-
ties, which include the cities of Cleve-
land and Cincinnati. the Republicans will
elect not less than eighteen senator's and
sixty representatives, which will give
both houses to the Republicans, as the
Democratic ticket in Hamilton county has
Republicans on it.
A peculiar feature of the campaign has
been the use by both parties Of the ut

Philippine policy. Here the Democratic
papers have been publishing interviews
and dispatches from ex-senator Sherman
indicating his position IN that regard. One
OF the latter, addressed TO the editor OF
an Ohio Democratic paper, contained the
following: I am strongly opposed to
the enforced annexation of the Philippine
Islands. 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 Philippine
question will BE- more than Offset by Dem

the vote IN Ohio will be from an emf

IN Ohio Will be about 900, ,0e0 The in

vote, according to polls is about 1900
OF the balance Nash will get 100000 and
Mclean 425,000. The Jones vote will be
tWo-thirds Republican and will be
heaviest in Cuyahoga, Lucas, AshtabBla
Warren and Montgomery counties. all of
which are Republican. The increase over
the vote Of 1897 will be due in a measure
to the first votes and the fact that the
