CINCINNATI, Oct H. The campaign
In
Ohio Is practically closed tonight, . with
rallies everywhere.
The election Tuesday Is for a full state
ticket and members of the legislature that
selects a successor to United States Sen
ator Hanna. For the first time in Ohio
the two parties have had nominees for sen
ator. The republican state conventions of
U9S and-1901 endorsed Forakor- for sen-
tor and those of 1897 and 1903 endorsed
Hanna for senator. Ohio democrats never
made an endorsement until last- August,
when John P. Clarke of Cleveland was en
dorsed. The senatorial, fight In Ohio has
predominated over state affairs. John P.
Clarke's 4 speeches have been directed
against Senator Hanna. Mayor Tons L.
Johnson and other democratic speakers
have also made Hanna the target of their
attaoks. .... 1
Senator Hanna aimed his speeches at
Mayor Johnson more than at his senatorial
opponent. Johnson was charged with being
the real candidate for senator as well as
for governor and prospectively a candidate
for the democratic nomination for presi
dent next year.
The republicans have brought Into the
campaign many prominent speakers. In
cluding senators and ' congressmen from
other states, but no unusual Interest was
manifested except at the meetings of
Hanna, who has been a greater drawing
card than ever before. With the exception
of Bryan, the democrats have had very
few prominent men on the stump. None
of the old leaders In Ohio or from other
states participated
The Indications are that Johnson will
get most of the socialist votes, which was
over 17,000 last year, but It is doubtful If
the whole of that vote would equal his
democratic losses. All predictions are that
the republicans will elect their state ticket
by a large plurality and the only claim of
the democrats Is for the legislature,
Forecast 'of New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31. Three days before
the municipal election well Informed men
on either side find themselves unaoie to
predict the outcome of the election. It
seems probable that the election will be
very close and that a few thousand votes
will decide whether Seth Low or George
B. McClellan will be mayor for the next
two years. William S. Devery, who la run
ning Independently, is not regarded seri
ously as a candidate. All the leaders today
Issued estimates of large majorities for
their tickets, Charles E. Murphy, claiming
the election of the democratic ticket by
100,000. M. Linn Bruce and R. Fulton Cut
ting declared that Low will be elected by
about 83,000, as many as In 1001, or per
haps more, and. even Pevery said that his
election Is certain. It is known, however,
that none of them has confidents in his

Colonel Morris Belknap, who is a wealthy
Ijulsvllle business man and a Spanish war

Tha contest has been remarkable for its
vigor, and has been characterised by con
siderable bitterness. Colonel Belknap made
his fight principally on the pardon record

the democrats has been that a vote for

PARIS, Oct 8L-(Nw York World Cable
gramSpecial Telegram.) Now that the
royal guests have gone Parisians are talk
ing about an event that was glossed over
during the visit out Of politeness.
At the grand review it was. noticed that
the king of Italy did not mount his horse
before the multitude. Le Crlade Paris says
that the horse was led Into a tent, where
the king stepped on a stool, his legs not
being long enough to mount from the
ground,. and adds that for a week prior to
the king's arrival the smallest pupil at the
Ecole de Saumur practiced mounting the
horse from a low stool wearing In his hat
lofty nodding plumes, such as the king
wore later at the review, with the idea of
habituating tho horse to stand still while
the king thus mounted.
The flaper says pofslbly the. king only
walked his liorse before the troops because
of a fear of possibilities should a bolder
gait be attempted, and thinks an equestrian
statue to the king would be out of place.
The same paper says that General Andre.
mounted on a magnificent white horse, was
regarded as Imitating Boulanger,- and fre

me great distress.
"I waa brought at last to confront tha
crisis of my life. I actually made ready for
my departure from friends and huttband,

Various recommendations to cure defects

during the fiscal year were 11.026,731,408, as

'double audit' ot all governmental re
ceipts "and disbursements, but, literally,
under existing laws and conditions, 80 per
cent ot the postal transactions can have
no examination whatever in the Postofflce
department. Less than 1160,000,000 Of the

the shadow ot a 'double audit.' "
As to claims for railway . tranivortaUon.
aggregating about-140,000,000 a year, the re
port says, the auditor must rely wholly on
the bald statement of tho lepsrtment
authorities that the amounts certified .are
due and payable.
To Stop Grafting;.
The auditor tecommends that congress
amend the laws so - as to provide when
"any branch ot the government desires to
use a patented article In the public service
some Just mot hod of deciding on the value
of that article, based on coat of manufac
ture, reasonable profit and fair royalty,
and that the same can be fixed as the price
to be paid therefor. The manufacturer
would doubtless in all cases be willing to
accept the price thus established. He
would have no motive for offering bribes
to any official for approving the sale, and
the government would secure the desired
Improvement at a minimum cost. If the
manufacturer should refuse the price thus
established, provision might be made for
Invalidating the patent as to articles re
quired for the publlo service."
This recommendation is based oh the al
leged criminal practices, for which trials
are now pending, for attempts In every in
stance, the auditor says, have occurred In
the purchase of articles covered by pat
ents, and as to which the general principle
prevailing In purchasing government sup
plies on Competitive bids cannot be en
forced. '.
As to Jewish Massacres.
The last chapter in the history of the
agitation, for the present, at least, result
ing from the Kishlneff massacre, waa writ
ten today when Simon Wolff of this city,
representing the executive committee of
the B'nal B'rlth, called by appointment at
the State department and presented to
Secretary Hay the petition which has been
In circulation throughout the United States
fo'r several months. ' directed to the ' presi
dent, and which the Russian government
declined to receive. It will remain perma
nently at the department.
The text of the petition Itself has already
been published, and attached to It when
presented today were the signatures ot 60,-
000 representative Americans of all creeds.
Tho petition was accompanied by a letter
to Secretary Hay from Leo M. Levy, pres
ident of the executive committee of tbe
B'nal B'rith, to which Secretary Hay re
plied.

Importing Fewer Lnxorles.
A significant fact Is noted In the tress
ury statement Issued at the close of bust
ness today. It Is that the recelpte and ex
penditures of the government for the first
four months ot the present fiscal year are
practically the same, the surplus being so
small aa to be only a fraction of tha ag
gregate. One year agothe surplus for the sams
months of the fiscal year was 8i8.S00.0OO,
to which $5,000,000 of anticipated Interest
should properly be added, making a total
of almost exactly one-third of that for the
entire fiscal year, which Anally stood at
164,000,000. There is no similar anticipa
tion of Interest during the four months of
this fiscal year, and there practically no
surplus. The total receipts for the fiscal
year have been about 81H0,397,2S5, and the
expenditures llbS,Hl,7, leaving , a sur
plus of about S&,000. An analysts
of the statement shows that the -practical
wiping out of the surplus Is due not only
to a decrease In the receipts, but also to
an Increase of expenditures. The customs
receipts fell Off about t8.000.0i), while the
expenditures of several departments In
creased slightly. In addition to those nat
ural Increases 8S,Ono.ufO was paid out In aid
of the Louisiana Purchase eiporitlon. Sep
