Kepiibllcnni Confident of Victory at the 1'olU Toilny. TOLEDO , Nov. 0. The most interesting gubernatorial campaign In Ohio in years was Drought to a close by the speech of Senator ' John Sherman in tins city tonight. He was greeted by an audience of between 4,000 and C,000 , and confined his address to national affairs almost exclusively. McKinloy's plu rality in the state Is variously estimated from 20,000 to 5,000. * CINCINNATI , Nov. 6. The eve of the state election limls the lepiiblicaus us conhdcnt , ns over of an overwhelming plurality for Gov ernor MeKlnley. There is a disposition to claim the state by not less than 25,000. This county is put down generally in republican estimates at 7.000 plurality. The democrats expect to carry this county and Cuyahoga for the legislature. In this county there is reason for this in the fact that an independ- cut ticket has been nominated , ostensibly to rebuke the alleged "boodler" nominees of the other parties. AlcKlnlcy lit Cleveland. Ci.KVRT.AXi > , Nov. 0. Governor McKinley closed his campaign in this cuv tonight , irad his reception was the most enthusiastic over accorded a public man In this city. When ho arrived ut Music hull , where no was to speait. that building , with a seating capae- Jty of 5.000 , was packed to the doors. Peo- pie began going to the hail as early ns G o'clock , nnd before 7 the doors were closed and admittance refused to all. As a couse- quenco tlio streets adjacent to the hall were packed to suffocation. As n way through the crowd was made for the governor's car- rlago there were loud demands for a speech. The hoi 503 were stopped and the governor , standing in the carrlaco , scat , spoke for fifteen or twenty minutes , ' being greeted by rounds of earnest applause. When ho finally entered the hall he was given a most ueucrous greeting. Ho made n speech which aroused his uudlcnco to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. Indications point to a plcatant day and a big attendance tomorrow. Democrats claim they will carry Ohio , but give no figures. KcpubhcMis look for a plurality for Me- Klnloy ranging from 15,000 to 35,000. The governor is said to bo confident of ro-elcctlon by oven a greater majority than ever before. Ho docs not expect to go below 21,000. J'OltKC.YST IN IOWA. , Iloth Hlclw Coiillil-iit < > T Election and Millie direful ICmliniitcd. DBS MoiNns , Nov. 0. The election outlook has not changed materially since last night. Both parties held closing rallies in all of the largo cities , but these are calculated moro to arouse people than to make new converts. , Chairman Blytho of the republican party before leaving the city today , estimated Jackson's plurality at 17,000. Lust night ho made it 15,000 , not 1,500 , as printed through the error of telegraph operators. He also claims good majorities In bpth houses of the legislature. At democratic headquarters estimates nro moro modest , but the democrats liavo not been making u boastful or loud campaign. Chairman Fuller hits done his work quietly and tonight feels confident Holes will be reelected - elected by the sumo plurality at least ns two years utro , nearly U.OOO. This , ho says , will bo suflldent to carry Die whole state tlckot. Ilo believes also that they will bo able to t control the scnato. Another member of < committee places Boles' plurality ut 13,000. No changes huvo been made m either prolii- bltlon or populist estimates. The former claim a good chauco for 110.000 nnd the latter for 50,000. Tho. pronlbltionists will draw llicir vote from republican forces and the I jrapullsts from the democrat mainly. No one bus been able to form any rolia bio csti- mate of the strength of the respective parties - ties nnd therefore all estimates uavo in them the element.of guess wortt.

NEW YOIIK , Nov. 0. Secretary Carlisle ar- Ivcd hero today. To a rcporterof the Even ing Post , Mr. Carlisle said ho was hero on official business. Ho declined to say any thing In regard lo the financial nnd business situation or express any opinion as to the outlook. As to the condition of the treas ury , etc. , ho would say nothing , as ho did not consider it wise or proper to express the opinion of the government through the news papers. Through the treasury order or an errone ous dispatch from Washington the impres sion is general that the secretary has or dered the mints to coin the seigniorage of the silver bullion now in the mints. In reply to tno question of a reporter for the Evening Post , Mr. Carlisle said ho had not Issued any order directing the mints to coin the silver bullion in the treasury nor any part of it. "What I have done is Just this , " said Mr. Carlisle.'Wo could use a few moro silver dollars now nnd 1 have therefore directed the minis to get ready tj coin the bullion when it is deemed advisable for them to i < 6 so , that is for them to pro- pa ro the ingots and stamps. It Is necessary , before iho bullion can bo coined , to make Ingots of u certain length and obtain the thickness rcijulslto and make the stamps wo need , so you see wo could not begin coining ut once , and if wo wanted to do so It would take moro than live years to coin all the sil ver bullion now in the treasury. If wq should begin to coin it , thnsclgnloracro would not lu round figures amount to more than (1,000,000 a month , or It the mints were all kapt steadily going , about (12- OOO.OJO. With the corta'ny that iho pur- chabcs of silver bullion are stopped , wo can probnbly u u tlyj silverto advantage. I should be sorry therefore to sea any law passed , us was recently suggested , that wo set aside that portion of the bullion that would become seigniorage , the proportion of which can ho calculated to a dot and compel us to coin it alone and at once and thus put into thu treasury available cash. If wo did that I think tlio coin would como back to us in u way wo should not rare to see. Some thing should be loft to the discretion of the secretary. The law at present Invests hlnj , with authority to coin sucii of Iho silver bullion as may bo necessary for the redemp tion of thu treasury notes. I do not want to have a misrepresentation or misunderstand ing oT my movements given to the country.

The police seem utlcrly unable lo cope with mobs and It Is probable that the soldiers will have to bo called upon to suppress Hol ing. The horse car yards and stables of Iho different companies are already guarded by troops and there is a prospect of a collision between tlio military and iho rioters before Iho day passes , This morning a mob of over 5OOD , rioters assembled on the Camicbloro , the widest nnd most frequented thoroughfare of this city , and overturned fifteen horse cars which the companies attempted to run. In addition the rioters saturated one of Iho cars with petroleum and set Ilro to it , amid iho cheers and yells of thousands of rioters crowding around the overturned car. The men on strike demand moro wages nnd fewer working hours , and in order to cnforco their demands commenced rioting yesterday and burned several cars which hud been saturated with prti oleum. The rioters also toro up the horse car Iracks in a number of places and continued in their work of destruction witnessed by thousands of pcoplo who seemed to bn ir. sympathy with them. The rioting was resumed last nlghtwhen a number of addltlon.il cars were burned and Iho traffic of street cars stouped. The mayor of the city is doing his utmost to-bring about an amicable settlement , but all efforts tending to vard pacification have been fruitless up to the present time. The employes of the car lines refuse to go to work unless the lines are giiardcd by the truops. The strikers this afternoon toro up more of the tracks. In several places placards wore posted by ihc strikers , saying that they depend upon the support of the general public in order to enable them to triumph over the companies. Continued tlio Ulotfnf. The rioting was continued through th afternoon , a total of twenly-iive cars being overturned and smashed. The strikers have Issued a manifesto , urging the men to conrlnuo the strike , nnd have written to James Goidon Bcnnelt , proprietor of the Now Yorlt Herald.asking for assistance , and recalllnn the aid given to the Paris strikers. A conference took place between the dele- gates from the horse car companies and the municipal authorities , during which ono of thu directors of ttic'horsocar line acuused tlio mayor of Inciting the populace against the company and insisted that the municipal authorities had instigated the strike. Too mayor and other municipal ofllcers. indig nant at this statement made by the director , left the room where the conference was Ifclu.

The parliamentary secretary - rotary of the colonial ofilce , Mr. Sydney Buxton , In the House of Commons today , replying to questions regarding the dis turbance in Matabeloland , said the latest in formation received was that King Lobengula was not a fugitive , but was still hostile. According to Mr. liuxton the war cannot bo said to have tended and no action taken on the case will prejudice the government's final decision as to the future Matubeloland. Mr. Gladstone , replying to Mr. Labouchore , said that the government had no Intention of setting apart a day for discussion of the Malabelo question , us Mr. Labouchcro pro posed. Mr. Labouchere then said that ho would take stops at the earliest opportunity to ob tain u day for tlio discussion of the simple matter. Mr. Gladstone , replying to Mr. John Red mond. said the. bill to relieve evicted tenants could be introduced during the present ses sion. sion.Sir Sir Edward Gray , parliamentary secretary of the foreign office , replying to Sir George Kaden Powell , said iho representations made regarding the seizure of the Hrs irrr. In the Bering sea , that the government had Hied a protest against the actlo.V of the United States authorities. Sir l&Iwurd , continuing , said it would seem reasonable to await the result of the trial buforo making claims. Mr. Gladstone , replying to a question from John Redmond as to whether , in view of the widespread anxiety existing in Ireland , the government would not reconsider its decision not to Introduce a tenant relief bill during the present session and as to whether if it could not deal with the whole question this year fully and effectively , It would propose u renewal of clause 13 of the lund act of Ifa'Jl , said that the government felt it to bo Us duty to confine tlio business of the present sitting to tlio parish council bills and the employers' liability bill , as well as tlio final disposition ot bills passed during the earlier portions of the session. The government , Mr. Gladstone added , proposed to preserve ttio power of taking up any noncontentious bills if ificro was a pressing necessity for so doing and if it was the general desire of the house to do so , Mr. Thomas Sexton reminded the house that botlt sides had a creed tlmf clause 1 ! ) ot the land act of Ib'Jl could u6t bo regarded as contentious. Chief Secretary Morley said ho was will ing-to introduce u resolution to that effect if Ht. Hon. Arthur Balfour would consent to It. It.Mr. Mr. Balfour , in reply , said that it was quite impossible to giva his opinion regarding a fractidn of the government's policy rospoct- ng the ovlotod tenants. Continuing , Mr. Balfour remarked that if-tho government was ready to say its whole policy consisted of the renewal of that particular clause ho would bo very glad to consider tlio matter. But to ask him to give his opinion upon what was a purely fragmentary part of the larger policy was hardly parliamentary , and Mr. Balfour could not possibly give his assent to the introduction of a fragmentary law.

Ho thonoflcd to Nicaragua and with 00 of his adherents joined the army of President Sacasa , who was engaged In an attempt to quell a rebel- linn.

The final populist rally of tlio campaign was held last evening at Washington Hall , and a very largo iiuilteaco was in attendance , attracted by the icnowlodgo that Senator Allen would bo the principal spanker. Many proiulncnt republicans and democrats were there , olilony from a desire to see and hear Nelraska's record-breaking senator In the line of long-dlsnuco oratory. The senator had his speech -with him In black and whlto and road extracts from It occasionally , but the crowd sootncd to stand In wholesome awoof the bulky pampblot , and it was frequently necessary to assure them that It was not nil coming on this ocaston. Tlioraanucr In which the senator would intro duce a section was as follows : "I began ray speech at Blfi : o'clock , and I roaohort this point at nbout 12:80 : , " or whatever the houi might ha\o happened to be. V. O. Stricklcr called the mooting to order and introduced as chairman , Gnorgo A. Magnoy , the populist nomlneo for county judge , who said that the principal factor ID ttio campaign had bceti a desire for aehanirOj caused by general dissatisfaction and dis trust. He slid that Senator Allen was the rcpre * bcutativo of his party , and stood foremost la the cause of reform In this stato. ilo then Introduced Nebraska's Junior senator , who was accorded an ovation as his tall form advanced - vanced to the /rout of xtho stage. When the applause subsided the senator plunged at once into a discussion of the sll vcr question. Ho siid that It hadbeen talked for mouths that the repeal of the so-called Iniquitous Sherman act would bring about a cessation of the existing hard times , anil restore the confidence that was so sadly lacking ; that ii would bring out money from its hiding place. Congress had been called together in extraor dinary session and for ninety days had wrestled with that question , and , the law had finally been repealed. During those ninety days the populist party had made Itself con siderably moro respected than it was when the .session began. The speaker said that * humble as ho was , he had been selected as the ono to give Mr. Cleveland and his party an object lesson , and it was a lesson that the president did not oaro to have re , uoatcd. Ilo had satisfied himself moro than ovci during this session that the power of Loan jard and Wall streets absolutely controlled egislation In the hulls of consrross , and told low little the moneyed aristocracy of thu country cared for the laboring man and the ; oueral welfare except so far as It enabled , hem to put more money in their own pocltf ots. The English money power reached thq western American business man through a wonderful system of lamillcatioa. riio English banker reaches the New York ; Danker , who in turn touches the Omahu banker , who taps the country banker , who in turn gets hold of the country merchant , who Is probably Indebted to him , and so the fulso sentiment against silver is moulded. . Duty at tlio 1'olU. Ho declared that any voter who did not go to the polls and do his full duty at the ballot box as dictated by hid conscience was un worthy the right of suffrage. In discussing parity ho wanted to know v.-tiat the parity was between a pear and a potato , Insisting that there was Just us much as thcro was between gold and silver , and that parity between the money * * niotals could only bo established by an act of congress signed by the president. Ilo declared'that free colnago would hjivo relieved suffering all ever the countrywould huvo given idle thousands work and brought sunshine and happiness everywhere. Ho said the republican party advocated the tar iff as the only m'jans of making the lot of the American laboring man batter than that of his European brother. "Tho democrats , on the other hand , " said the speaker , ' 'claim the opposite ana say tha tariff is u fraud and a delusion. And so It is. It Is a tax on the poor man , while tlio count less thousands of tlio rich man go uniuxod. " Then the speaker returned to the sil ver question. Ilo Hashed a printed copy of his long speech , but allayed the evident apprehension of the audience by saying ho did not Intend to read it all. Ho did , however , quote from John Sherman's speech touching gold , and said there was a party In congress controlled by the money power , whlcn owned it with as good a title as over a slave driver had to his human chattels. It It were not so the Sherman act would not now stand repealed. The senator did not want to bo understood as saying that all senators were thus owned , but ho wanted to say that It was useless to expect good legislation until the people arose in their wrath and wrought a changn , Ho told of a speech he made a couple ot weeks ago at Alexandria , W. Va. He was the 11 rat populist they had over seen there , although It was- only IIvo mllus from tha national capital , and the people stood baolc along the edges of the hall. Ho naively re marked with becoming modesty that tha populists would poll 600 votes la Alexandria , this fall as against two votes last year. The niitl-freo sllveritcs who claim to bo blmcUllIsts came in for a rousting , tha speaker saying thcro never before was such u grim sarcasm as when John Sherman arose and claimed to bo a bltnetalllit , and ttiut DO must have meant to buy one metal with the otlior , or as Teller ofColorado had expressed it , a ' 'bye-and-b.vo ' inotalllst , " He declared that the irold bug * htg
