THE CAMPAIGN in CONNECTICUT.
Detection of Republican Farmers on
the Tariff Question.
to THE EVENING STAR.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
NORWICH, CONN, Oct. 29.-An unofficial can
vass of this, the third Congressional district,
made by democrats gives to the Harrison ticket
plurality of between 400 and 500; four years
ago Blaine carried the district by 2,195. Such
canvass as the one just made is probably not
worth much, but there can be little doubt that
the democrats will gain something in New Lon
don and Norwich, where the registration is un-
precedentedly large, with the democrats in the
ascendency among the new voters. There is a
republican detection it is claimed. fully equal
to that OF four years ago, and many farmers in
the country towns who having become interest
ed in the tariff question for the first time in their
lives, have read some of the campaign documents
with which the village post-ofices have been
flooded, and now in their bewilderment will
either stay at home election day or else vote
the prohibition ticket. In one part of the town
of Lebanon, for instance, forty republican
voters have announced their intention to vote
for Fisk
Col. Charles A. Russell, son-in-law of Mil
ionaire Sayles, is again the republican candi-
date for Congress. Two years ago he was
elected by plurality of 64S. This year his op-
ponent is Stephen ii. Hall, a mechanic, who,
two years ago, astonished himself and every
body else by defeating republican in a sena-
torial district which had always before that time
given large republican majority. Hall is
solid with the laboring element in the district,
and will make some gains in the manufacturing
towns, but his election to Congress would in
deed be political surprise. If anything is
certain In this election in Connecticut it is that
Russell will be reelected, and that the district
will give Harrison plurality of 1000 or there
abouts. The gravest fear entertained to-day
by the republicans is that they will lose among
the farmers of New London and Windham
counties. Before the discussion of this tariff
question became general among the masses,
the farmers of these counties, or at least a very
large majority of them, voted the republican
ticket. For the first time since the war this
farming element is uncertain.
Mr.. Blaine, it is announced, will be here on
Thursday, and speak at a MONDAY meeting in
the open air if it is pleasant; if not, in the
freight-house the biggest building at all suita-
BILE for political meeting in town.
Consul General Waller, of New London will
review a democratic demonstration in Middle
town Tuesday evening, and be present at the
democratic meeting in New Haven Wednesday
evening, when Mr. Fairchild, Secretary of the
Treasury, will speak. An effort will also be
made to get Waller to say something, despite
the prohibition of the State Department at
Washington.

THE NEW YORK STRUGGLE.
Quay Against German.
A CONTEST IN WHICH SKILL AND MONEY BOTH
FIGURE.

The business of getting money into New York
is being pressed energetically by both parties.
The indications are that both committees are
pretty well supplied, but each wants to impress
the other with the idea that money is very low.
Contributions for greater or less amounts are
still going into the democratic Headquarters
from Washington, and there are indications
that considerable number of clerks who think
themselves wise in their day and generation,
are contributing privately to both parties. It
is said that some who have heretofore confined
their contributions to the democratic cause,
have been SO impressed by the situation that
they have recently sent contributions to the re-
publican committee. But whatever they do in
the way OF giving money is done very secretly.
sK1RMIsHING FOR THE ADVANTAGE.
The situation in New York. as understood by
the politicians at Washington, is such as to be
peculiarly susceptible to the influence Of money.
The democrats insist that Mr.. Quay has pot
OF money that he intends to spend on the last
day, and that he expects great results from q
coup he has in contemplation in which his ''pot
Of gold" is to play an important part It is
said that Senator German is fully Informed as
to what Senator Quay's plan is, and is prepar-
ing to meet it in a way that will surprise the
republican committee. The matter of local
trades and purchases turns largely upon the
superior skill OF eltner OF theSe men. Inc mere
game of sharp politics between these two men
is being conducted with great earnestness.
While Brice is the head of the democratic COM
mittee, Quay knows that German is the man he
has to contend with, and the latter's personal
feeling toward the republican chairman is such
as to make him especially desirous that he
should not get great fame for a successful move
in this campaign. 1t is said that Mr.. German
believes that he can SO manage things as to
turn Mr.. Quay's own weapons upon him.
NEW YORK CITY THE PIVOTAL POINT
But after all those who look upon the cam
paign more broadly see in the game between
the two committees merely by-play for local
advantage in New York city, and believe that
the general result is as clouded to the eyes
OF the managers as to the general public, and
as much beyond their control
They are devoting their energies to dealing
with the factions in New York city, and Just
how far any deal may be successful is what no
one can tell. Lots of money and skill will be
used in the undertaking, and it is likely that
skill will count for most in the contest. Both
committees are talking confidently, but neither
feel So

From Wall Street To-Day.

NEW YORK, Oct. 49, ii a. m.-The new week
on the stock exchange opened with a dull mar
ket, though Reading was very active again and
there was fairly active trading in a few other
stocks, among which Richmond and West
Point and Union Pacific were most prominent
First prices, as compared with Saturdays clos
ing figure, showed declines extending up TO e
per cent, Reading showing most weakness.
The declining tendency continued during the
early trading. and Reading retired Il per cent
were for insignificant fractions only, and the
course of prices was soon changed, when most
of the list were brought back TO the level of
the opening figures and some even small frac-
tions above. Atchison specially weak,

was dull but firm, generally at about opening
prices.

Hon. Sam'l j. Randall's Views.
AS GIVEN THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF "PER-
SONAL FRIEND"

AS GIVEN THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF ''PER-
soNAL FRIEND"
The New York Tribune publishes an interview
with personal friend'' of Representative
Randall, in which it is stated that while the
health of that gentleman is improving, he
will not be able to take any part in the cam
paign, or even to vote at the coming election.
This friend when asked about Mr.. RandalIs
views as to the pending contest, and if he would
take an active part in the campaign were he
able, is reported as having said that he did not
see how Mr.. Randall could take the stump for
Cleveland and Thurman, as he could not sur
render his convictions at anybody's dictation.
He declared that Mr.. Randall, by his protec-
ton speeches four years ago saved Cleveland
from defeat, and that then he had every reason
to believe that his views were then in accord
with those held by Mr.. Cleveland. He further
said that Mr.. Randall was openly opposed to
the ratification of the Bayard-C Chamberlain
treaty, and if he had been in the Senate would
have voted to reject it. He represents that Mr.
Randalls position is somewhat analogous to
that of Stephen A. Douglas during Buchanan's
administration, and concludes by saying that
many well-informed democrats are fearful that
the republicans will not only capture the pres
ldency, but obtain a majority in the next
House of Representatives and strengthen also
their hold ON the Senate.

MORE TROUBLE FOR MIR. YERKEs,
Probability That His Imported Chicago

CHICAGO, Oct ga strike by the recently

200 new hands were paid for the first time, and
found that fare TO Chicago and board from the
time Of arrival here had been deducted In
addition, each new man was asked 20 sign
contract agreeing 10 work for q day, less
amount than the old men are working for.
Only few men signed the contract. An unex.
planned feature of the affair is the fact that all
the old employees, many Of whom have been out
of work since the strike, are all under orders
TO report at the barns to-day.

Wants Of Washington Territory.
FIRST AND FOREMOST TO BECOME A STATEN
PORT OF GOVERNOR sEMPLE

PORT OF GOVERNOR sEMPLE.
The governor Of Washington Territory, Eu-
gene Semple, in his annual report to the Sec
retary of the Interior, states that the estimated
population now numbers about 1856, 1893, an in
crease during the year of 4,S13. There have
been 1892, ,473 acres Of public land disposed of
during the year to individuals. The governor
suggests that more liberal policy be adopted
in making appropriations for the surveys
Of the public lands. The cattle ranges, it is
stated. are being rapidly curtailed by settle
ment Of the public lands, and that the old
practice Of leaving stock to care for themselves
during the winter has given place to the better
one of providing food and shelter for them.
The governor notes the discovery of Alaskan
cedar in the western part Of the territory,
q wood which is said to be proof against the
depredations of the teredo, and is, therefore,
excellent for boat and ship building. The gov
ernor says that the first thing in the needs of
the territory is admission to the Union, then
the improvement Of the waterways, the allot-
ment Of land to Indians in severalty and the
throwing open of the balance of the reserva-
tons to public settlement, liberal appropria-
tions for the enforcement Of the Chinese ex-
clusion bill, the establishment Of port Of en-
try on Gray's Harbor, and the erection of
bonded warehouses at Seattle and Tacoma, and
an appropriation to defray the expenses Of the
Legislature to meet in January next.

GOING HOME TO VOTE.
The Exodus OF Government Employees.
SOME WHO ARE PATRIOTIC ENOUGH TO GO AT
THEIR OWN EXPENSE OF TIME AND MONEY
NOT MANY REPUBLICANS APPLYING FOR LEAVES
OF ABSENCE.

"Leaves Of absence" are as numerous in the
Government Departments just now as the
leaves from the trees on the streets. The
clerks are leaving for their respective voting
places to take part in the coming election. In
some Of the Departments the number of
leaves is said to be as numerous as
in previous presidential years and in other
of the Departments there are less sThere
were lbs leaves granted the other day." re-
marked an appointment clerk of one Of the
largest Departments. He added that every day
for some time the application of clerks for
leave had been received and acted upon. ''There
is one rather notable feature" he observed,
"and that is the large number who ask for
leave without pay In the majority of such in
stances the applicant has exhausted all his an
nual leave and now his party patriotism is
strong enough to induce him to sacrifice part
OF his salary for the privilege Of casting his
vote"
There is a very general exodus Of the higher
Department officials, although many of them
from states that are considered sure are not
going home at all. 1t is supposed that nearly
all the clerks are democrats but this arises
mainly from the fact that they are apt to be
extremely taciturn when the subject of politics
vote in Cleveland, Ohio, has an ingenious an
swer ready for any inquiry, the object of which
is not fully known Asked if he is a democrat
or will vote for Cleveland, he can truthfully re-
ply in any event, II am Cleveland voter"
The Ohio voters, by the way, are not going
home to any extent this year, except in cases
where a vote is needed in a close local contest.
They consider the state sure for the republi-
cans, and few votes here and there would do
no good and might result in the personal loss
of the voters in the Departments.
The republican clerks who have been re-
tanned in Office are not going home to vote this
year, to any extent. The opinion SCENE to be
general that perhaps they had better refrain
from voting this year, and the consequence is
that the present exodus from the city is mainly
confined to demOcratic emplOyes

and great crowds thronged the sidewalks and
intimidated the passengers, but no damage was
done and only few stones were thrown. Sew

during the afternoon at a point where the
street has been torn up by PAYERS. The police
had considerable trouble dispensing crowds at
varions points along the line and were kept
busy all the afternoon. A number of boys were
arrested for throwing stones at the cars and
two men locked up for resisting the police. The
