CoLUMBUs, O., Oct. 1l--Neither of the
State Committees are making an effort to
obtain definite results from the election to-
day, since it has been conceded that every
thing is safely Democratic. The Democratic
headquarters are practically closed to-day
and nothing Is being done. The Republican
Committee says the first amendment is
adopted and as nearly can be estimated
the second amendment will get about 300 900
votes and probably be defeated all the way
from 10000 to 50, coo. Some advocates for
the second amendment claim that il has car
ried but have no figures to show. The Ham
lltOn and Cuyahoga delegates are divided in
proportion which has been rerorted. An
estimate has been made i'm which both Chair
men of the COMMITTEES substantially agree
that the Senate will stand 22 Democrats and
II Republicans; House being 81 Democrats
and ~ Republicans, "a majority OF 2S on
Joint ballot. These figures are liable to be
slightly changed by final results i'm both
counts.

hour the solemn procession, headed by

spiritual adviser, marched through the

calmness of demeanor and ascended the
steps with strength OF purpose and nerve
rarely shown by a mortal in passing through
such an ordeal. He stepped upon the fatal
trap door with frmness, carefully inspected
the pinioning of his legs, wore cheerful
smile, said good bye TO his attendants and
nodded TO the newspaper correspondents.

by the Anglican minister he was dropped

What is being done to again turn the tide
OF immigration to Kansas2'
The Superintendent of Castle Garden.
Mr. Jackson, is doing excellent work in that
respect He Is sending good class OF peO-
pie, who have the means TO start in farming
or business. We have thirty correspondents
in Europe, through whom immigration doc
umentS are distributed. and who Will furnlSh
any information that a person may desire.
Upon my solicitation the AtchiSon, Topeka
and Santa Fe Road have established an i'm
migration bureau and the Missouri Pa

How many immigrants will come into the
state this year?'
Between $1,000 and 10000 The genera!
impression seems to prevail in Europe that
the election of lSS2, in Kansas. wiped out the
prOhibitOry law, and that has helped very
much TO restore the tide OF immigration 10
our State. In Barton County. for instance,
100 German immigrants have settled this
year. The class OF foreign immigration we
are striving To secure are sober and lndust-
riOus but sensitive to any interference
with their personal freedom, and feel that il
IS not the province of the law 10 dictate 10
them what they shall eat, drink or wear or
what there personal habits shall be. 50 they
do not interfere with the rights OF their fell
low citizens. This idea is clear and well de-
fined and they are very sensitive as to its
preservation"
