What They Say Regarding To-day's State Elections. HEAYY YOTE IN PENNSYLVANIA ! Belief That It Will bo Unprecedented for an "Off Year" Governor McKlnley Thinks Republicans Will Have Sixty Thou sand Plurality In Ohio. Philadelphia, Nor. 5. Reports thus fur received from different sections of tho state show that an unusually largo voto Is being polled In this state for an "off year." Whllo no approxlniato Idea can yet bo given of tho total voto, It Is ovidont that tho number who aro today depositing their ballots will largely exceed that of any other year when tho principal ofllco voted for Is a state treasurer. Both Republican and Democratic workers aro straining ovory nervo to get out tho largest posslblo voto, tho Republicans In tho most popu li us centers being especially active, whllo oven in tho sparsely settled districts thcro is an unprecedented outpouring of frco mcn. Tho claims of Republican mana gers that their voto will bo near that of last year, however, will not bo justified by tho count. From tho voting thus far It Is evident that most of tho independent Voto Is being divided between tho two leading parties, tho Prohibitionists, Populists and Socialist-Labor candidates being vory poorly supported. ainrylnml'H Hottest Fight. Bai.timouk, Nov. 15. Tho morning of Maryland's most critical political battlo finds tho issuo enshrouded in doubt. Tho generals upon both sides are claiming vic tory, but tho tones in which they mnku their boasts and tho figures thoy cito as a basis for their alleged belief do not carry conviction to tho mind of an unprejudiced onlooker. Tho fact is that everybody is at sea, becauso in tho present contest tho silent voter Is a greater factor than ho has over been in tho history of Maryland poli tics. Tho flerco and persistent attacks upon Senator Gorman, and the outcry against what his opponents torm "Gor manism," has undoubtedly influenced many who haro horetoforo voted tho Dem ocratic ticket, and will Induce them to voto against Hurst, who is known as Mr Gorman's candidate Upon tho other hand the very blttorness of tho attack has brought Mr. Gorman's friends closer to him than over baforo, and thoy will get out every voto at their command. Thon, too, tho color lino lias been drawn for all It is worth, and every known dovlco has been taken advantage of to lead tho voters of Maryland to believe that Republican victory means negro supremacy. With such argumouts as theso as tho solo issues in tho campaign it would bo idlo to pre dict u result, ami all that can bo said of it is that it looks llko anybody's victory. McKinley's Prediction Tor Ohio. Cincinnati, Nov. 5. In Ohio tho Ro publicans havo had phenomenal plural ities for two years, and claim now a bet ter organization than over before. It is Conceded that tho Republicans can con trol ttio legislature without Hamilton county, In which Cincinnati is located, but that tho Democrats must havo tho fourteen members from Hamilton county in order to get a legislative majority. As ox-Governor Forakcr, who lives hero, Is a candldato for Brlco's place, great Interest Is taken In tho result In Hamilton county. Tho Prohibitionists claim tho usual voto. General Coxoy estimates -10,000 votes for himself as tho Populist candldato for gov ernor. It is not bolloved that either tho third or tho fourth party will affect tho contest between General Bushnell and Governor Campboll. A Masslllon dis patch says: Govornor McKiuloy remarked this morning that tho stato ticket ought to go through with no less than 00,000 plu rality. "Last year tho Republicans car ried tho stato by 137,037," said ho, "but tho voto was about 00,000 short. Now, figur ing llborally, I don't seo how Mr. Camp boll can possibly get moro tluin BOo.OOO votes this year. Last year his party polled only 270,903 voto3, whllo tho Republicans polled 413,930 votes, so that If wo only hold our own wo will retain a comfortable margin." Inmi Kxppcts a IJIg Vote. Des Moines, Nov. C Chairman MoMll lan,of tho Republican committee, said this morning: "Wo have mado a good fight, and I think wo will havo a plurality of 40,000 and upwards. Wo will also elect probably 100 out of tho 150 mombors of tho general assembly, making sure of Senator Allison's ro-clectlon." Chairman Walsh, of tho Domocratlo commlttco, said that ho was satisfied thoy could cut down tho Re publican plurality, and that with duo ef fort on tho part of Democrats thoy would defeat General Drako by a small plurality. Tho Populists aro claiming from 40,000 to 60,000 votes, which is a large gain. Tho Prohibitionists aro also expecting alargcly increased voto, Tho prospects aro for a largo voto being polled. lioth Slilcg Claiming Kentucky. Louisville, Nov. 5.

TO DAY'S ELECTION IN lOHfN Everything Progressing- Quietly and Smoothly at All the Polls. LIGHT YOTE THIS MORNING ! As All tho Collieries Are Working There Will be a Grand Rush at the Polls During the Closing Hours The Moon Vote. If tho voto at tho close of tho polls falls short it will not bo duo to tho weather. The politicians who hoped for a clear day got what they wanted and people who do not go to the polls cannot say the bad weather kept them away. A more favorable day could not be wished for. Tho polling of votes this morning was very light in all tho wards,, but tho workers at tho polls were by 110 moans despondent. They accounted for it by saying that tho people are working steady and aro not inclined to lose any timo for an election, or anything else. They predicted a grand rush after live o'clock. Of course, under the present ballot system, it is impossible to say how the election will result. Only opinions can be taken as guides, and to accept, them and build upon them would lead one to the conclusion that both tickets will be elected. Both sides are confi dent, notwithstanding reports of cutting of the respective tickets, and tho Itepublicans of town were more confident to-day than they havo been at any time during the campaign. County Chairman Payne spent somo timo in town this morning visiting tho several polls and appeared quite satisfied with tho progress of work for the Republican ticket. On the other hand tho Democratic workers, to a man, claim they will take everything in sight. Shiny conservative people believe they aro too confident. The noon reports showed that the voto con tinued slow up to that hour. At all points the explanation was that the collieries were working full time. Tho volos polled up to the noon hour in tho respective wards numbered: First waid, 18S; Second, 04; Third, 157; Fourth, 105; Fifth, M). Tho greatest falling oil" was shown in tho Tlilid and Fifth wards Uist fall the noon report was as follows : First ward, 10(1 ; Second, 111 ; I'lurd, 200; Fourth, 110; Fifth, 135. By comparison of tho figures it will bo seen that the Firbt ward was but 8 votes behind its noon record and the Fourth only 5. The Second needed 17 more votes to toe the mark of last year, while the Third ward was 43 behind and the Fifth 4U. It is evident that an attempt to poll tho full voto before the closing hour in the Third and Fifth wards will create a scramble, and unless the men get to tho polls soon after tho collieries stop working a number of people may fail to get into tho booths in time. The opinion was expressed this afternoon that tho total voto of tho borough would fall considerably behind that of last fall. Such being tho lase a question arises as to which party will be benefitted. Tho Republicans incline to the belief that they will, as tho Democrats have placed great dependence on a full vote in all quarters, the Third ward being no exception. Facli poll is well manned by both parties and it is not the fault of the workers that tho voters were not reached earlier. Tho men wanted were out of reach in tho mines. Democrats who heard of tho light vot in tho Fifth ward expressed surprise, but did not appear worried. Some of them said the voto would lie brought up pretty well to tho mark before night and the full vote for their ticket in other quarters would more than counterbalance any shortage in tho Fifth. Ono or two people who spent some timo at tho different polls during the curly part of tho day stated that they did not think there was near tho amount of cutting going on among tho Republicans as tho Democratic leadors expected, and that tho Democrats themselves seemed to bo using the knife pretty freely. Tho latter part of the asser tion was heard in several quarters. , Tho election has been unusually free from any disturbances. During the morning hours tliero was a tongue match in tho Fifth, but it amounted to nothing. Tho First ward was nothing like its former solf. One rami who spent all tho morning and part of tho afternoon at the lattor poll said ho did not hear an angry word. Tluit's Kxrolleiit. An expression often heard after ono has tasted Columbia bcor.
