(From the Ohio Btate Journal Nov 1.) We are jn recetpt of many letvers from diferent states, asking our “private, sonal inion” as to the prospects in and Indiana for November. e eg to give that opinion here, public! It is, that Hayes will carry Ohio by a largely increased majority over the largest republican ma- jority on the state ticket in Octove.. Tais opinion is shared. rivately and personal- ly,” by every well-informed republican to whom we have access. As to [ndiana, we have lateand authentic “private and per- sonal’ information, of the most reliable character. It is, that Hayes will carry that state by a decided majority. We may as well say in this connection, that the best in- formed men of New York have within a few weeks—we might say days—come to the decided conclusion that nothing save the most oatrageous frauds in New York city and Brooklyn can prevent Hayes from carry- ing New Yor, our friends are confident that their arrangements are so perfect as to make any considerable fraudulent vote im- possible. They expect to go into New York with sufficient majority from the rural dis- tricts to insure the state to Hayes and Wheeler. ivania is as safe as Ohto. Nearly the whole Pacific slope wilt go for Hayes. And we may now hope to break In uy the Solid South. This is neither blowing nor crowing—but solid fact. We Jeave the “confidence” business to John G.

Jt is useless to discuss at this late day the plan of the Washington National Monument. It was amply considered at the time of its adoption, the only objection ever raised to it was the pantheon, which was never adopted by the society, but left as &n open question until within a very short period, when, I am informed, it was rejected. The monument is to be an obelisk, without aby complication, which has in ail time been admired for its simplicity, beauty, and | coreg form by persons and nations of the ighest @rtistic taste.

AMATEUR. THE CAMPAIGN IN New York CiTy— The Aduress of W. M. Zvarts —iu re- sponse to the inVitation of over four bun- dred of the prominent business men of New York city, Hon. W. M. Evarts delivered an address on the issues of the campaign at the Goer Union last night. The hall was packed and thousands 0: ple were unable to enter the building. Hon. Wm E. presided, and the platform was occupied by reg ix reg hy dae gt canbe Page John a |x, Joseph jligms lore velt, Jackson 8. Schultz, James Lenox and other prominent New Yorkers. Mr. Evarts spoke in his usual calm, argumentative style. As the canvass he said it was not @ question of which man we should have but which party.

In conclusion Mr. Evarts ad, they prize their their families; as they credit, aye, her very existence, not to trust the democratic party with the helm of state and thus bring back to power the enemy they had once vanquished.
