THE CONTEST IS CLOSE IN OHIO The Democrats May Elect the State Ticket and the Repnbltcans the Leg islature—The Sitnation Extremely Critical in Maryland—Hardin Claims 15,000 Majority in Kentucky--The Registration in New Jersey is in Favor of the Republicans. Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 4. —On the eve ot the election the betting here is on the extent of the reduction of the Dem ocratic plurality in Kentucky and of the Republican plurality in Ohio rather than on the result in either State. In Ohio- the Republicans have had phenomenal pluralities for two years, and claim now a better organization than ever before. They held an early State convention and went to work im mediately. The Democrats had a late convention, but claim that the aggressiveness and popularity of ex- Governor Campbell will get out the full Democratic vote and show a close contest. While both parties have paid special attention to the Legislature, which elects a successor to Senator Brice, it is conceded that the Republicans have an advantage in the apportionment which stands till after the census of 1900. Senator Sherman has had Democratic colleagues by the State going Democrat ic sixth year since Allen G. Thur man was chosen by t. e Legislature, elected in 1867. Thurman served twelve years, Pendleton, Payne and Brice each six years. Tne Democratic State ticket might be elected by a decisive plurality and the Legislature be Republican. It is conceded that the Republicans can control the Legislature without Hamilton county, in which Cincinnati is located, but that the Democrats must have the fourteen members from Hamilton county in order to get a legislative majority. As ex-Governor Foraker, who lives here, is a candidate for Brice’s place, great interest is taken in the result in Hamilton county. The betiing is at odds on its going Republican. The Prohibi tionists claim the usual vote. Ooxey estimates 40,000 votes for himself as the Populist candidate for Governor. It is not believed that the third or fourth party will affect the contest between General Bushnell and ex-Governor Camp bell or the legislative tickets. EXPECTS 15,000 IN KENTUCKY. That Is the Majority that Hardin in Now Counting On. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 4. —One of the hottest campaigns known in the history of this State for many years has closed and if the weather is fair Kentucky, to morrow will poll the largest vote ever given. The fight, though there are four tickets in the field, is between the Republicans and Democrats for the State offices, beginning with Governor and running down to District Railroad Commissioner. For a time it looked as though the Populists would poll a large vote, but the old parties claim to have whipped the would be deserter back into line and at the close of the battle royal, the finish is between Hardm (Democrat j and Bradley (Republican) for first honor— the office of Governor. The leaders named have been on the stump for two months, while all others on the respective tickets have been do ing more or less public speaking, and now, at the finish, each side claims the victory. Hardin’s partisans and man agers claim that he will come to this city with 15,000 majority, while the friends of Bradley claim he will win by not less than 16,000. Both sides claim 1 ' that this city will favor their respective nominee. All cities in the State will elect m nicipal officers, and in many cases these local contests are badly mixed. In this city there are three tickets -Democratic, Re publican and Citizens The A. P. A. vote, said to be about 14.000, will be cast for the Republicans. The A. P. A.’s have taken this shoot because the Democratic platform denounces the organization. The Democrats state that they will carry Louisville without naming a majority. On the other hand, Republicans and A. P. A.’s put their majority at from 8,000 to 12,000. The probabilities are that the city will go Republican by tier haps 3,000. In addition to State and city offices, nineteen Senators and 100 members of the House are to be elected, and this Legislature, in turn, will elect a United States Senator to succeed J. C. S. Black burn. In this body, the Democrats wi 1 have the advantage of nineteen hold over Senators. There is little doubt that the Democrats will have a majority enough to elect the Senator without trouble. MARYLAND 18 DOUBTFUL. The Campaign Han Been Bitter and Both Sides Claim the Victory. Baltimore, Nov. 4.—The eve of Mary land’s most critical political battle finds the issue enshrouded in doubt. Both sides are claiming victory, but the tones in which they make their boasts, and the figures they cite as a basis for their alleged belief do not carry conviction to the mind of an unprejudiced onlooker. The fact is that everybody is at sea, because in the present contest the silent voter is a greater factor than he has ever been in the his tory of Maryland politics. The hurrah part of the battle is over, and the posi tion of those who participated in it is known and their votes already counted by the party managers, but the ballot of the silent voter is still in his vest pocket, and this year his name is legion. The fierce and persistent attacks upon Senator Gorman and the outcry which his opponents terms Gormanism, has undoubtedly influenced many who have heretofore voted the Democratic ticket and will induce them to vote against Hurst, who is known as Mr. Gorman’s candidate. Upon the other hand the bitterness of the attack has brought Mr. Gorman’s friends closer to him than ever before and they will get out every vote at their command. It is also possible that the 8 tme conditions will bring him voters to his aid who have heretofore stood by the Republicans, out of sheer admiration for the plucky fight he is making against his enemies in his own party, Then, too, the color line has been drawn for all it is worth, and every known device has been taken advantage of, to lead the voters of Marylaud to be lieve that Republican vijtory means ne gro svpremacy. With such arguments as these as the sole issues in the cam paign, it would be idle to predict a re sult, and all that can be said of it is that it looks like anybody’s victory. The officers to be elected are: Gov ernor, Comptroller of the State Treasury, Attorney General, a Legislature which will elect a successor to United States Senator Gibson, Mayor of Baltimore city, City Surveyor, Stat :’s Attorney for Baltimore city, three Judges of the Or phan’s Court, and Sheriff of Baltimore city. TAMM AN Y WILL WIN. But Republicans Will Probably Carry New York State. New York, Nov. 4 —The campaign in this city and State closed Saturday night and little was done to-day beyond the distribution of sample ballots and the issuing of final instructions by the lead ers. An important detail of the election work was the distribution to-day of the last installments of cash for the expenses of the watchers and other necessary uses to which the money will be put. The State offices to be filled by to-mor row’s elections are: Secretary of State, Controller, Treas urer, Attorney General, State Engineer and Surveyor, Judge of Court of Ap peals, sixteen justices of the Supreme Court and an entire legislature. A rep resentative in Congress will be elected in the Tenth District to fi'l a vacancy. Morton carried tbe State last year by 156,000. In New York political interest centers in the contest for County Clerk and Reg ister Both tbe Democrats and the Fusionists claim the result in the city. The polls in New York city open at 6 a. m. and close at 4 p. m. Much interest is taken in the experiment with the blanket ballot which has never been used in this State before. WILL RE-ELECT GREENHALGF, Republicans Will Elect Their Entire Ticket in Massachtsetts. Boston, Nov. 4. —The Republicans of the city and State brought their cam paign to a close with two grand mass meetings held at noon to-day—one un der the auspices of the Market Man’s Republican Club in faueuil Hall, and the other in charge of the Republican State Committee at Music Hall. At the former Senator Geo. F. Hoar, of Wor cester, divided honors with Gov. Green halge. Governor Greenhalge is expected to be a second time re-elected with decreased majority, the d.fference being accentuated more or less by gen eral apathy, with an off year. Tbe en tire Republican State ticket, as cus tomary, will follow the leaders, and While in senatorial and representative fights on the local issues, there promises to be little change, thereby leaving the complexion of the next general court as during the past year. The principal local issue has been pre cipitated by the recent census bulletins, for the increase in population calls for an entire redistricting of the State next year. The largest possible majority in the Legislature is accordingly an object worth fighting for in the opinion of con trolling powers in both parties. Election day is expected to be very quiet through out the State. THE BATTLE IN NEBRASKA. Republican Candidates for State Office* Will be Elected. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 4.—A1l voters throughout Nebraska have their eyes on Omaha to-night and the city is restless. The campaign has centered around Omaha exclusively. All concede that the Republican can didates for Chief Justice and Regents will be elected. Since they are the only State officials little attention is paid to taat part of the election. The gold and silver Democrats,however,have exhibited some spirit and each faction asserts that their State candidates will poll the full strength of their wing and in that man ner the relative number of the voters favoring or opposing the white metal in Nebraska. In Omaha, the battle has been hot, hotter in fact than in any previous con test. Early in the fall the city was startled by the discovery that the city treasurer and his deputy were short $30,000. They were at once relieved. Other irregularities were discovered in the city departments and a committee of 500 of Omaha’s most promiuent business men met and issued a call for all citizen’s favoring reform to RALEIGH. N. C. TUESDAY. NOV. 'S. 1895. organize a citizen’s league. This was done and a ticket composed of business men of varied political affiliations named. It was endorsed by the Demo crats and Populists. The Republicans were, it is claimed, controlled by the A. P. A. The battle has been between these two forces. CLOSE CONTEST IN NEW JERSEY. But the Registration Has Been in Favor of the Republicans. Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 4.— New Jersey will to-morrow vote for a Gov ernor to succeed George Werts, the present Democratic incumbent, seven members of the State Senate and a full House of Assembly, sixty members. The Democratic candidate for Governor is Alexander T. McGill, the present chan cellor of the State. His opponent is John W. Griggs. The election is claimed by both parties-by between two and five thousand. The voting will probably be light throughout the State, except in is olated counties where local fights on the assembly tickets have added interest to the campaign. In the large counties the registration is light and in favor of the Republicans. The State campaign has been fought on the same issues upon which the Re publicans carried the State in the last ( lection. The race track and adminis tration of State affairs by the Democrats during the ten years preceding 1893 were the issues raised by the Republicans. National issues have not entered into the fight in this State to any great ex tent. Both sides contented themselves with State affairs. A WALK-OVER IN MISSISSIPPI. The Democrats will Carry it by an 4 Overwhelming Majority. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 4.—The State can vass was closed in Mississippi to-day by Hon. A. J McLaurin, candidate for Gov ernor, who made his last speech at Morton. The whole Democratic State ticket will probably be elected by an overwhelming majority, and it is claimed that the Populists will not carry half a dozen counties in the State. It is claimed that Capt. Frank Burkitt, the Populist nominee for Governor, will not carry his owo county of Chickasaw. Full State, District, county and beat tickets will be elected. The L°gislature to be chosen will elect a successor to J. Z George, who is not a candidate for re election. The canvass just closed has been practically one sided. The indica tions are that the weather will be per fect to morrow. IN BLEEDING KANSAS. Tbe Populists Making Unusai Efforts to Elect All the Sheriffs. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 4.— The greatest interest in the election to-morrow in the State, particularly in the eastern half of the State, will be centered on t’ e office of sheriff. The Populists are making unusual ef forts to elect the sheriff in every county. In this city there will be the hardest fight on this office that has been known for manyfytars. Democrats andPopulis's have combined on O. B. Kepley, a Demo, crat, to beat David Burge, the present Re publican Incumbent,and if by any chance Kepley should win the victory in this Republican stronghold, it will be used to advantage by the Populists in the next State campaign. The only State officer to be voted for is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. David Marvin, Republican, appointed to the position last summer, was nomi nated by the Republicans. Neither the Populists or Democrats made any nomi nation and his only opponent is C. K Holliday, Jr., independent. A Light Vote in Virginia. Richmond, Va., Nov. 4 —Virginia is not a storm centre this year, a» no im portant issues are involved and no State officers are to be elected. The campaign has been listless and a light vote is ex pected to morrow. Republicans Confident in lowa. Des Moines, lowa, Nov. 4. —The Re publican and Democratic headquarters were closed to-night.

Wynne, Ark., Nov. 4. —About ten days ago Albert England, a white man, who claims Cross county as his home, broke into a store at Vilonia, Ark., a small inland town, twenty five miles west of Bee!:e, and stole $25 worth of goods.

Special to the News and Observer. Hickory, N. C., Nov. 3. Prof. Sevario D’Anna, who figured extensively in the abduction case, left yesterday for his home at Sayre Insti tute, in Lexington, Ky. The boy, Hugh, who was the innocent cause of all this contention, has been once more placed with his step grand mother, Mrs. Alice Murrill, from whose custody he was taken by his mother, Mrs. Thompson. The little fellow will at once resume his studies at Claremont Female College. The decision of Judge Timberlake was received with unfeigned satisfaction by a majority of the people of Hickory, where all parties to the case are well known. The judgment finds the following facts: 1. That Thompson is a drunkard, a gambler and a spendthrift. 2. That Mrs. Thompson is a woman of high character and, were it not for her husband, a suitable person to have the custody of the child. 3. That Sevario D’Anna is a man of irreproachable character and in every way fitted to provide support and educa tion for the boy. The decree also directs t hat the moth er shall be allowed to see Hugh whenever she wills. He is not to be removed from the State for two years and at the end of one year, if she so desires, Mrs. Thompson may apply for the custody of her son by showing any new facts that should entitle her to the possession of h m. Judge Timberlake made no secret of the fact that his sympathies were with the woman. He decided in favor of Prof. D’Anna only from stern convic tion that the future of the child de manded it. In their argument of the case, Messrs. Hufham and Bickett, who conducted the plaintiff’s case in Louis burg, took substantially that ground. Judge Timberlake remarked after the judgment was signed: “If I thought that I would have another case like this, I would telegraph my resignation to the Governor at once.” The defendant has appealed, and the case will probably be heard in December. Bhould the contest be renewed at the end of a year, some interesting develop ments may be expected. AN AWFUL CRIME IN OMAHA. An Eleven-Year-Old Girl Outraged and Then Choked to Death. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 4.— Early this morning the police found the body of Ida Gaskin, aged 11, in a vacant room on Howard street. She had been out raged and then chocked to death. She had been missitg since last evening. Three young men, Ed. Sanford, George Moigan and Booder were arrested, charged with the murder. .The feeling against the prisoners became so strong during the day that it was de cided to remove them from the city and they were hastily removed to the peni tentiary. The police are satisfied that Morgan, who is a teamster, is the rapist and mur derer. More than 5,000 persons viewed the remains of the child at the morgue to day and to-night a large crowd sur rounds the jail from which the prisoners have been removed. DEATH OF EUGENE FIELD.
