Both Sides Claim the State Good Repub-
lican Outlook.
WHEELING CIV. Val, November 4th.-
There never was a campaign IN West Vir-
ginia as closely and hotly contested as that
now drawing to close, and, while there is
much talk on both sides of Doodle " and
fraud" it is conceded by all in private
that the result will be on its merits. 1t is
hard to form reliable, intelligent opinion
of the outcome. West Virginia has many
sheep-growers, salt wells, coal and iron
mines and timber tracts, and the cry on
free raw material has a tendency to make
Republican votes. There is considerable
interest also in Wheeling and vicinity in
glass, pottery, iron, steel and wool factories.
These are largely opposed to the Mills bill.
The party lines have been drawn closely,
and the changes expected, if they occur,
are not openly announced.
The Democratic poll of the State by
counties gives them plurality of 1 800 out
OF largely increased vote, while the Re-
publican poll-made with much more than
ordinary care, most of the quiet voters hay
Ing been seen personally-seems to give
Harrison 5000 plurality.
General Goff, the Republican nominee
for Governor has made a wonderful can
vass, and nobody ever stirred up the peo-
pie as he has. He carried the First Con-
gressional District six years ago BY 1900
majority, when two years before it gave
1900 Democratic, and it is hoped that he
can revolutionize the State
Besides this, the ratio of natural gains in
West Virginia since 1876. if carried on
without other influences affecting the vote,
would make the State Republican this wear
by 4S9 plurality. The situation is SO in
teresting that nearly every great orator on
both sides has been in the State a portion
of the time. The Democrats hope to give
the electoral vote to Cleveland and possibly
save all the State ticket, but they privately
concede the Governor and Legislature to
the Republicans, and Senator Kenna's sue.
cessor is expected on all sides to be a Re-
publican
Much depends on the quiet vote, which
cannot be estimated. so that there may be
a grand swell for the Republicans, or a
tidal wave for the Democrats would not be
startling. The whole is best summed up
in the words, Nobody knows" The Pro
hibition amendment to the Constitution
will be defeated by from 5000 to 1000
largely owing to Republican wrath at the
third party.
The First Congressional District is surely
Republican, the Fourth surely Democratic
and the Second and Third are in doubt

PARIS November 4th News has been
received in this city of a terrible accident at
the CampaigDac coal mine yesterday. 1t
was horrible affair, and one of the worst
in the mining history of the country
II seems that soon after the shifts OF
miners had been changed, and just before
the new men were going to begin work,
great explosion took place. and the result
was terrible less of life and the manning
of many men. Immediately thereafter the
scenes in the pit were fearful. The unfor-
tunate men were piled in heaps, and the
cries and groans of the injured as they tried
to release themselves from the mass of
corpses and debris were heartrendiDg.
To add to the horror of the situation the
pit was at once filed with binding and
choking smoke and gas, and it is believed
! that many of the deaths are attributable TO
| this cause.
! The work of rescue was begun almost
| Immediately, but it was necessarily slow, as
| the workmen did not make fast headway,
owing to debris ard smoke. Many of the
bodies were mutilated beyond recognition,
and nearly all of them presented horrible
appearance.
| 1t is positively known that eighty men
were killed by the explosion. The cause of
the explosion has not yet been learned, but
| it was probably due to gases in the mine.
The bodies Of forty two victims had been
| recovered at last accounts.

BY an agreement between the two Chief

could occur at points where the professions
came in contact. The agreement was faith

The Democrats by fair estimate had
about 4, 600 in line. while the Republicans
turned out 1000 more The streets were
thronged with thousands of men, women
and children shouting for their favorite
candidates, This was kept up until mid

New YORK, November 4th.-The final
Republican demonstration OF the campaign
occurred yesterday afternoon. Rain fell
throughout the hours of passing, but did
not quell Republican ardor. The process
sion was one of the largest ever seen in this
city, and many thousands larger than the
Democratic turnout of last week. Probably
not less than $4,000 men were in line, rep
resenting all trades and professions.
Scores of bands, floats and banners were
conspicuous features. One float bore a
steamer with the name of John Roach, and
having on board a funeral wreath and a

The entire line was made up Of voters,
with the exception of one company of bows
and members of the drum corps. The yari-
Gus exchanges-Stock, Petroleum, Cotton
and Produce-were very largely repre-
sented. The marching platoon fronts ex-
tended from curb TO curb. The line took
just about two hours to pass the Western
Union Telegraph building. The size of the
procession was astonishing to all, consider
ing the condition of the weather.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARADE.

WHEELING, November 4th.-Every we'll

firmly convinced that Tuesdays contest
will be the greatest struggle in the history

into the fight, and they are aided by defec-
tons from the Democratic ranks, through
the tariff issue, which has done great deal
to even up the two parties in the State.

New YORK, November 4th-Colonel AL

sui at Manchester. Eng. returned from a
business trip to the old country recently
and gave the following account of British
opinion on the Presidential campaign:
Cleveland is a hot fsvorite over there.
If Englishmen were to do the voting for
us this fall free trade would score vic
tory. In their view they think that Cleve-
land favors free trade, or is q free-trader at
heart. Many well-informed Englishmen
know that Democratic victory this fall
with us would not open the way
Immediately to absolute free trade.
but they are sharp enough to see that ii
would tear off one bolt from our protec-
tion door. This is the thing that would
naturally greatly delight them at present.
They find that the free-traders in the Uni
ted States are all for Cleveland. From
this they reasonably and naturally con-
clude that Cleveland is in sympathy with
English free trade ideas.

day.
1t seems that his reply was received here

HARTFORD Conn, November 4th.-This

estimate as follows: Harrison, 72,OOO, or

between 5000 and $500 for the Prohibition
and Labor tickets together. The Democrats
are not disposed to intrust anybody with

the Republicans as to frighten the man.
