If, therefore, ISO,- 000 votes are polled, of the 18,000 lnorease at least 13,000 will be Democratic, which, added to the 2,000 majority received by Hancock, would swell the Democratic majority to 8,000 Then it Is well known that of the 9,000 Greenback votes cast for Weaver fully one-lourth of them will bo oast with the Democrats this year. Take 2.000 from the fusioniFts and add to the Democrats, making a difference of 4,000, which added to the above will bring the Democratic majority up to 12,000.

Cleveland, Oct. 18.—The Herald prints in tabular form the estimated majorities, Republican and Democratic, in every county of tho state, with tho exception of Haniflton. On that it has been impossible to obtain anything like a trustworthy estimate, sven from those usually best informed. The other tigures have beon furnished by the chairman ot tho Republican county committee in the majority of cases, the remainder being made up from the reports of regular correspondents. The uncertain quantity in die estimates is the effect of the prohibition vote. In some counties allowance has been made for a considerable increase on that vote oror last year, while in others tha vote is placed at about last year's figures or even ess. The returns show a proballe majority for tho head of the Republican ticket over the chi f candidate of the Democrats of nbout HI,000. T. is may be reduced by unlooked for defections to the Prohibition ticket, and by Democratic frauds, for which extensive preparations have been made. To-day both committees knew what to expect. Tho Democrats claim the state by from 8.500 to 5.WJ0, and say their poll sustains this claim, but there is no sign of enthusiasm at their l.eaclquarte/s and nc specific figures on comity returns are given. Tho Republicans are nut boasting, but confidently claim their state ticket by majorities ranging from 800 to 3,000- Thej unhesitatingly give figures showing a Republican majority of 8,g0Q, "I don't know if the woman is dead or not," Breen answered. "We'll go and see." John d. Thompson satcl last night that the Democrats would have 7,000 majority. Upon hearing that ul'eraiice from Thompson another Democrat declared he was now inclined to think their cause hopeless. The Republicans will, according to tlio best authorities, carry Hamilton county u sniall majority and Cuyahoga by a largo ouc. The Democrats concede Cuyahoga county, in which Cleveland is situated, to the Republicans, but they claim Cincinnati or Hamilton ccunty. In IStff tho Democrats carried Hamilton county by 10,089 majority, Last year llondly had only 2,581 in that county. It is absolutely cei tain that the Democrats Cannot hola all the German vote that t.iey had lass year, and the Republicans are gaining in every othor direction.

Cleveland, Oct. 18.—The Herald prints in tabular form the estimated majorities, Republican and Democratic, in every county of tho state, with tho exception of Haniflton. On that it has been impossible to obtain anything like a trustworthy estimate, sven from those usually best informed. The other tigures have beon furnished by the chairman ot tho Republican county committee in the majority of cases, the remainder being made up from the reports of regular correspondents. The uncertain quantity in die estimates is the effect of the prohibition vote. In some counties allowance has been made for a considerable increase on that vote oror last year, while in others tha vote is placed at about last year's figures or even ess. The returns show a proballe majority for tho head of the Republican ticket over the chi f candidate of the Democrats of nbout HI,000. T. is may be reduced by unlooked for defections to the Prohibition ticket, and by Democratic frauds, for which extensive preparations have been made. To-day both committees knew what to expect. Tho Democrats claim the state by from 8.500 to 5.WJ0, and say their poll sustains this claim, but there is no sign of enthusiasm at their l.eaclquarte/s and nc specific figures on comity returns are given. Tho Republicans are nut boasting, but confidently claim their state ticket by majorities ranging from 800 to 3,000- Thej unhesitatingly give figures showing a Republican majority of 8,g0Q, "I don't know if the woman is dead or not," Breen answered. "We'll go and see." John d. Thompson satcl last night that the Democrats would have 7,000 majority. Upon hearing that ul'eraiice from Thompson another Democrat declared he was now inclined to think their cause hopeless. The Republicans will, according to tlio best authorities, carry Hamilton county u sniall majority and Cuyahoga by a largo ouc. The Democrats concede Cuyahoga county, in which Cleveland is situated, to the Republicans, but they claim Cincinnati or Hamilton ccunty. In IStff tho Democrats carried Hamilton county by 10,089 majority, Last year llondly had only 2,581 in that county. It is absolutely cei tain that the Democrats Cannot hola all the German vote that t.iey had lass year, and the Republicans are gaining in every othor direction.
