FAIRMONT, October 30. -Everything in
this county this week is politics. The
surface indications here now are that the
entire kid ticket''-Dcmocratic-will be
elected. Captain Watson's chances for
election to the State Senate are iirst-class.
His popularity here among the labor ele-
ment will give him the miners and la
borers' vote almost solid. The majority
of the Greenbackers have dropped back
into the Democratic ranks. Spencer w.
Sturm has his coat of and is doing square,
honest work in the Democratic ranks and
has carried with him a large following.
Frank Martin. Cranky Frank" is with
the Republicans. Mr.. Flick will be here
Saturday night. Flick will not be any
thing ahead of his party here. 1t is alto
gether likely that Wilson'S vote IN this
county will be materially increased.

All that InteVigeHcer talks about the Pal
atine election scheme is the meanest po-
litieal buncombe. If the Palatine people
want TO ofour miles TO vote its nobody's
business, but they could vote at home
Just as well. The man who is doing most
Of the blowing left the State some time
since, shook the dust from his feet, pro-
nouneed his anathema upon the town, and
can't vote because he's not been back long
enough.
