WEST VIRGINIA.
Both Sides Claim the State Good Repub-
lican Outlook.

ReDuh-
lican Outlook.
WHEELING CIV. Va, November 4th.-
There never was 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 a 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 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 800 out
OF largely increased vote, while the Re-
publican poll-made with much more than
ordinary care, most of the quiet voters hav-
ing been seen personally-seems to give
Harrison 3 200 plurality.
General Gof, the Republican nominee
Tor Governor has made wonderful can
vass, and nobody ever stirred up the peo-
pie as he has. He carried the First Con-
gresslonai District six years ago by 1,S00
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 year
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 Kennas sue
cessor is expected on all sides to be Re-
publican.
Much depends on the quiet vote, which
cannot be estimated. SO that there NAV be
a grand swell for the Republicans, or
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 sarely
Republican, the Fourth surely Democratic,
and the Second and Third are in doubt.
Special efforts are being made to defeat w
L. Wilson for reelection in the Second.

A WARNING TO EUROPE.
A CoLLIsRY HORROR.
Eighty Lives Lost In Coal Mine In
France.


PARIS, November 4th News has been
received in this city of 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 il is believed
that many of the denths 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 ecause 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.

HARTFORD tConn.) November 4th-This
Slate will give the Republican national
ticket not less than 1000 majority, The
figures are here in possession Of the State
Committee to show it. As to the State
ticket, the Democrats concede it to the Re-
publcans. The total vote of the State is
likely to reach 145,000. The Republicans
estimate as follows: Harrison, $4,000, or
possibly 1880; Cleveland, SO, ,500 leaving
between 5000 and $500 for the Prohibition
and Labor tickets together. The Democrats
are not disposed to inrust anybody with
their estimates, but from an authoritative
source your correspondent learned that the
party's reticence is due to the fact that the
poll of the State shows such large gains for
the Republicans as to frighten the man.

POMONA, .Novembe r4th.-When the Muir

contents of the letter are is not known here,

1900. The procession was upward of two

and gave the following account of British
opinion on the Presidential campaign:
Cleveland is a hot favorite over there.
If Englshmen 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 free-trader at
heart. Many well-informed Engishmen
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 it
would tear off one bolt from our protec-
ton 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.
