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.

He r.as once iu the Irish constabulary, but is not a member of the O'Donovan Rosea crowd. As a joke tome of tbo Castle Garden officials dropped into Radley's unclaimed box some cartridges, rusty knives, old raaors and a patent lire alarm box, which looked as if it might be an infernal machine. This was the only, lias is for the sensational stories concerning ftadley's box wbich were circulated in Castle Garden yesterday. The "Sir John Moore," who, aooording to a mysterious memorandum found In the box, was to blown up, is Mr. John Moore, the landing agent at Castle Garden.
