Outlook For the Democrats More
Hopeful Than In 1896.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 5.-On the day be-
fore election there are no indications of
radical changes in Ohio over 1896, with
which year Ohio returns will tomorrow
night be compared. Four years ago the
Republicans in Ohio had a plurality of
81, 100 over the Democrats and 48.494
over Bryan as the candidate of both the
Democrats and the Populists.
Bryan is on only one ticket in Ohio
this year. A syndicate, represented by
Mark Simonton, has a large fund here
offering to bet that the Republican plu-
rality in Ohio will not equal or exceed
that of 1896. While such bets have been
freely taken heretofore, the Simonton
syndicate yesterday and today found no
takers. 1t is conceded the Democrats
will make gains here and in other cities,
but the Republicans claim equally large
gains in the rural districts.

TRAVELLING MEN

Are for Bryan-ShOrt Chats With
Number of Commercial Travel
Iers.
The public has heard much talk about
the travelling men in politics. A Re-
gister correspondent has made it a
point to interrogate all travelling men
whom he met, and to get their actual
feelings. He had to learn one fact
that no salesman wished his name men
toned, as it might do them harm
with their firms. One Of the first sales
men talked to was a strong Mckinley
tariff believer. He believed in trusts,
because, by them he was holding his
position, as he represented a combin-
alton of manufacturers. When asked
as to how many his firm now employed
on the road compared with before they
went into the combine, he would not
state. His answer was, Give US high
tariff and Mckinley, and we will have
prosperity" When this silk-hatted
gentleman was asked about the Philip
pine war, he smiled and said: "A good
place for some of our young men to
learn discipline
An Eastern man said: 81 am on the
road selling goods, but miss many OF
my old friends, and only find about
half the number employed, as there was
four years ago. The travelling men
will cut a figure in the coming cam
paign.'
A salesman from the west stated the
travelling men from the west will al
most vote as unit for Bryan, as zone
cannot understand the situation until
he has been conyersant with them, but
one thing is certain, the trusts are the
greatest enemy to the travelling man."
A man travelling from uell known
Pennsylvania house stated, my house

but to-day l am covering my old ter
ritory and that of another, simply do
ing two mems work" How about

do you think about the coming cam
paign?" well, Bryan will have many
more votes that in SO, as | find his

During the trouble few days ago at
the water works, caused by an unIor
seen accident, the City Water Board
received two very kind letters: one
from the National Tube Works, offer
ing us assistance, both in apparatus
and men, to help us out of our difficulty
if we could not overcome it with our
own forces. The other from the Wheel
ing Railway Company offering to let US
have water from their tanks in case OF
a fire occurring before our breach was
repaired. The Water Board takes this
public method of thanking the officers
Of both these organizations for their
kind offers. We also express our graf
iilcation to find that the gentlemen pre-
siding over the two most important or
CARNATIONS of our city and vicinity
have shown sympathy in our trouble,
which was so conspicuously lacking IN
many of our citizens. 1t is like
beautiful oasis in the desert to meet
with such sympathetic kindness amid
the snarls and unkind criticisms COM
ing from men who are either denSely
ignorant of what they are talking
about, as shown by the vapid talk OF
the man who said we were trying to
make the connection when the force
main was full of water; or they come
from persons who are DESTROYS of MAX
ing political capital out of the calamity.
OF one thing we are sure: That not one
OF the self-constituted critics would
have foreseen the calamity. Again we
express our heartfelt gratitude to the
National Tube Works Company and to
the Wheeling Railway Company for
their kind offers and for the sympathy
shown by that act
