The Republicans OF Ohio cointy an
tIcipa,e winning TN unprecedentcly de-
cisive victory to-day in the battle of the
ballots. II the poll made oy the coun-
ty committees reccntly'!s- reliable 1t
would not be surprising II the majority
for Mckinley and Continued Prosperity
would reach 1000, but $500 will be ac-
cepted by the local organization as all
that could be acknowledgement.
The party Is In excellent condition
for the contes. to-day. 3 All the work
ers are In line, and on all sides there
Is determination to score so decisive
avlctory that the Bryan Democracy will
become utterly demoraliySd. Gold
Democrats who four years ago were
voting for Palmer and Buckner are to-
day Joining with the Republicans in
voting where Il counts, against Popo-
crazy, and this will add In swelling the
majority for the head OF a ticket to n
figure heretofore unknown In the
county. =. ~
Tho Sheriffalty.
or course the greatest interest is fe!t
in the contest for the sherlffalty. DR..
Taylor has steadily gained strength
during the last ten days, and the Re-
publican leaders feel assured that 1t is
now only question OF how large ma
jorlty their candidate will secure. r.
wins defeat Is considered I foregone
conclusion, but the Republicans aiders
and abettors OF DR.. Taylep's candidacy
do not intend to relax this strenuous
life" OF theirs until the last good Repub-
lican vote has been cast at 4:49:3o this
evening. Then these men who have
SO unselnshly come to the front in DR..
Taylor's behalf will take 4 well earned
rest. knowing that their labors have
been for man who appreciates It.
The betting on the sheIlftalty took 4
decided turn Taylorward yesterday ar.
ternoon. There has ccncconsiderabl
Irwin money floating about. with not
SO many Taylor takers, but there was
change in conditions IN the afternoon,
and in short while I, was the Taylor
people who were unable to find takers
for their offered wagers.s This Is
straw that shows the faith Republicans
feel and the doubts that are entertained
by Twins supporters. 20
Effort to Injure Taylor.
There was an effort yesterday to In
jure DR.. Tayior's candidacy by the cir
culation Of rumor on the South Side
that he had promised to appoint John
E. Schellhase, now clerk of tbs water
board, as his chief deputy. The Intel
lisencer was informed last night from
IN. authoritative source that DR.. Tay-
lor has carefully refra!ned from making
any promises at all. no: office in his
gift, II elected sheriff.. has, been prom
ised. the Intelligencer is Informed on
authority that cannot ba disputed.
Everything Ready.
Everything and everybody are ready
for to-day's great contest. All tn. cleo
tion paraphernalia has been taken from
the Offices OF the clerk OF the board Of
county commissioners and OF the cir
cult clerk, and Is nowsi IN the hands Of
the election officers. The polls open
at $40 a. m. and close at $50 p. m.
