CiNriNNAri , Oct. 12. Tlio election in Ohio
to-moriovv Is for goveinor and other Mate
ofllcers and for members of the leglstaluio
which shall elect a successor to Hon. John
Sherman , United States senator. Tills gives
a peculiar Inleiest to the election of members
of the leglslatme. Hetmns which pin port to
be based upon a polling of Iho state by the
democratic and republican committees , give
widely different results. Tlie democratic es
timate elects Hoadlcy by fiom 20.030 to
2oOJO plurality. The republic in estimate
c'lects r'oiaker for goveinor by from 15.001 to
ayiou pluititit.v. Estimates on tlie legislature
by both patties make the icsult close , al
though both claim a majority. The clement
ot uneeitaiiity In the election of governor is
tlie prohibition vote. It isgeneraliy conceded
that itH Inciease will be mainl.v liom the u -
puhlicans. Tlie vote two .veals ago wasfi-
ttM. The democritle poll this > cm estiuiiites
it fiom r > ,000 lo ( lOUO. The prohibitionists
themselves ehdm a s-tlll greater vote.
11 is possible that nmiiv who vote lei Leon-
aid on the piohihition ticket will vole with
their lormei parlj on the legislatuie. * o that
the vote lei goveinor will not Indicate ex
actly the complexion ot the leglslatme. In
Cincinnati vigoious elloits have been made

UOIIM MiA8rni : .
CincAno , Oct. 12. Sluch inteiest is being
excited in tills city over a decision lendeied
hero to-day by Judge Prendeigast in the
county comt , giving the people ol Chicago an
opportunity to vote on tlio election law en
acted by the last legislatuie. Tlio law has
tlio local option teat lire and must be adopted
by the people of the city or village de-iiing
Its benefit before It becomes opeiatlve. Doubt
has been cxpicssed as to the constitutionality
of the law , nnd with a view to testing tin t
question the county comt foimally declined
to older Ids clerk to piovldo tlio
blanks provided by the law for its submis
sion. Upon such refusal an application was
made to the .supremo mint for a mandamus
compelling Judge Pieudcigast to issue the
older. Me.mwllo a vacancy was made In the
supieme comt by the death ot Judge Dickey
That left an even number of judges ami they
dividedevenlj on the petition , three holding
the law to be constitutional and tluee holding
It to be unconstitutional. On last Wednesday
A lexaudi'i' Sullivan behalf of
day , , on peti-
tioneis , made a lengthy aigiiment on a
motion asking tlio court lo make
the nece'saiy older lor ( lie submisfiion of the
law iiotwlthst Hiding his former declination ,
lie urged Hint the com t'H icfusal , at a time
when it was hellovud the ictusal would tiling
a test casobcfoie thesnpiome comt and se-
cuie that tillmiml'.s decision beloie the No
vember election , should not pievent the comt
fiom making the older now Unit it was fin-
possible to gel a decision nut 1 the J.inuaiy
icimot tin supiemecomt , when the vacancy
in that body will be idled.
The comt was earnestly piessed to give the
people an onpoitunlty lo vole lor tlio law so
that If dccl.ncd constitutional it would bo
entoiced in the election of iNStt , which will
he ono of. tlie most imiioifniit over lield in
Chicago. Tlieio will then bo elected six
Judges of the courts of iccoid , lour congress
men , a f-horllV , a county lie.ismer and mem-
beis of the lejlslntme. The piopo ed election
law Includes the most piounneiit features of
Die Xew i'oik and Massachiisctls laws. It
abolishes the system < it sweating in votes on

became quite bullish Cablas eamo in inodor-

in value * however. It was estimated tliat the
visible supply would disclose an incica.se of
one million and a half bushels , nud this
occasioned weak feelings during the early
trading , and November fell otf. several times to
fcMji'e , but tlio buying continued good , and

points together with good domestic and fair

notwithstanding , pilee.s rose slowly l-&uliom
