wAsHINGTON,s ELECTION.
Republican Governor and Congressman
Conceded; Both Claim Legislature.


TACOMA, WASH. TER, Sept 9o.--The most
bitterly contested political campaign ever
ionshs In Washington ends with the setting of
'odAys sun Twenty-four hours later
wiu have been decided whether
"asningtons hrst government IL &c be

.ne No parties has been largely xaged on the
tarin issue, with the passage OF the consttu-
non' tne deciding Of the capital QUESTION aud
the adoption OF the prohibitory ana
Nomans suffrage planks in the constitution
coming In ss side issues. The republicans
prophesy the election OF their entire ticket
with maiorities ranging anywhere between
5000 AID 1890. The democrats concede the
election OF Ferry for governor and Wilson for
Congress, but claim Q division OF the supreme
iudgeship. For governor and Congressman
they concsde majoritics Of from 5000 20 5000
The last figures are more than 20OO less than
given TO Allen for delegate against Voorhees,
one year ago.
BOTH SIDES CLAM THE LEaIsrAruRE.
The chairman of the republican territorial
committee claims that the legislature will be
republican on joint ballot by q majority Of
thirty. On the other hand the democrats
claim the Legislature on Joint ballot by
ten. II is here TO secure the two United States
Senators that the democrats have been con-
centrating their entire energies, permitting

be secured They are better organized than
ever before in the history OF the territory.
Their meetings have been largely attended and
enthusiastic and their leaders are very san

A Perfect Mirror.

Saturdays twelve-page STAR, with its SOC
new advertisements, was q perfect reflex Of the
varied interests Of Washington life. Never be-
fore have SO many new advertisements been
printed in single issue Of any Washington
newspaper, nor did single issue ever so fully
represent every phase of business activity, from
the long and tempting announcements Of the
great magazines Of merchandise down to the
simplest want Of the humblest citizen. For
everything Of this sort The STAB is the one
recognized medium, without peer, without a
rival-used by everybody having anything to
bring to the notice of others and read by every
body in the District who is able to read. Es-
peciaily does this observation apply to that
class Of business announcements familiarly
known as ''short ads" comprising Wants, -
"For Sale," 'For Rent" etc., etc., Of which
there were over fourteen broad, solid columns,
or more than two full pages, in Saturdays
paper, over three columns of Educational"
cards and nearly three columns Of Especial
Notices." These figures need no comment
They tell their own story. That theyare graft
flying need not be added, but they are not sur
prising. 1t is natural and proper that the
paper having five times a. many readers as
any other paper in Washington should be the
chosen channel for business announcements Of
every character. The people know what they
want and they stand by the peoples paper.

From Wall Street Today.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Tbe stock market this
morning displayed moderate degree Of aotiv-
ity, sugar trust and Atchison leading, while
Reading, Louisville and Nashville, Jersey
Central and Union Pacific. Of the usually
active stocks, were prominent in the dealings.
and were Joined by Ontario and Western. The
rest of the market was comparatively neglected,
and the trading did not extend to as large a
number of stocks usual of late. First
prices were rather irregular but were gen.
orally slightly lower, following the London
figures. The demand for stocks in the early
dealings, however, was sufficient to advance
quotations in the general list small fractions,
generally from Is to y per cent, while Jersey
Central rose 2 from its Saturdays price and
sugar trust rose to ", against S0l! Saturday.
Atchison then developed marked weak
ness again and retired to 80, against 35
on Saturday. The rest of the market followed
and the early gains were about wiped out,
while Tennessee coal was specially weak and
lost Is. The market then became dull and
slight recoveries were made and at IL o'clock
the market was dull AL steady, generally at .
shade above the openicg figures.

SENATOR WALKERS PLAN.
He Would Prohibit Negroes from Hold
ing Office in Mississippi.

CoFFEEvrILE, MISS, Sept so.-State Senator
Joel P. Walker of Meridian, Miss, thinks that
he has found q remedy by which all friction
between the blacks and whites will be removed.
He contends that all the strife and discord
that arises between the races emanate entirely
from politics, and the demand of the
negro to have the state Offices divided
and the avowal Of the whites that no
negro should hold any place wherein
the whites are interested He reasons that if
you take away from the negroe all hopes OF
gaining political power it will dampep his ardor
and zeal to go to the ballot box, and by bis re-
maining away the state remains peaceful.
Mr.. Walker will therefore. in all probability
introduce in the state senate in January next
a bill prohibiting any negro or any man with
negro blood from holding political state Of
fee. he says, and other eminent lawyers af-
firm his statement, that such an act viii not
conflict with the l4th and 18th amendments to
the United States constitution. So far the pro-
posed plan has not met with popular favor and
the BILL If introduced, will not likely become q

TO ITs soLuTIoN-ooyH, ~ ATTORNEY oRN-
ERAL (N PLACE OF MILLER YoR THE SUPREME
BENCH vAoAScY) noET HELP TIE CAUSE.
II IL we'll known that the President has re-
garded Attorney General Miller as Just the
right man to fill the Supreme Court vacancy.
It is understood that after having practically
made up his mind to appoint Mr.. Miller he
yielded to pressure and evinced willingness
to appoint some one else, il the right sort
OF man was brought forward in the proper way.
50 far no one has been presented whose ap-
pointment the President thinks would be more
fitting and appropriate than that Of Mr.. Miller.
The fact that Mr. Miller has sold out his
establishment in Indianapolis has given rise to
the impression that the President has gone
back to his old love and that Mr. Miller will go
on the supreme bench. This will
GIVE THE PRESIDENT CHANCE
to do two things he is credited with
being desirous Of doing-to crafty Mr..
Miller and to place Mr.. GoH Of West
Virginia in the cabinet. The President, it is
said, has expressed regret that his election
was dependent upon the vote Of New York and
apprehengive that the same conditions may ex-
ist at the next presidential election. It is his
desire and that of leading republicans gener-
aly that the party should get itself in posi-.
tion to be independent of the electoral vote of
New York, which is always on such o delicate
balance and subject to strange influences.
Taking the vote Of the electoral college as it
stood, otherwise the six votes of West Virginia,
transferred to the republican side, would give
the republicans q majority without New York.
The party is chatting some under the political
tyranny Of New York and would welcome any
thing that would make them independent Of
MIR. Platt and other New York bosses.
TO CARRY WEST VIRGINIA IN 1892
With Mr.. Gof in the Department Of Justice
1t is thought he would be able to carry West
Virginia in 1892, and not only that, but perhaps
some other southern state. While Mr.
Goff has no chance now Of being declared gov
ernor OF West Virginia republicans have no
doubt OF his having been elected and believe
that he can carry the state in the future. The
Department Of Justice has under its jurisdiction
all the federal elections officers, and with Q
strong politician like Goff at the head OF it
some good political work can be done which is
in every way legitimate. In the first place
and with southern elections methods would
have it in his power to do much to prevent
frauds. For this reason 1t is thought by many
republicans that it would be q wise political
move to make Gof Attorney General The
practical certainty that he could carry West
Virginia gives sufficient reason for the selec-
tion, since those six electoral votes would make
the party Independent of New York.
Last fall Mr.. Cleveland got 16s electoral
votes and Mr.. Harrison 233 With the 36 votes
from New York Cleveland would have been
Harrison would have had the election without

PRISON BREAKERS AT LARGE.
Escape Of Two Convicts from tho Dis
trict Jail Last Night.

About 1:S0 o'clock this morning the
guards at the Jail discovered that two
Of the prisoners had escaped. They were
John B. Buck alias Brown alias Hunt
alias Bright, the young white man con-
victed Of the grand larceny Of Mrs. Potter's
diamonds last spring and sentenced to two
years in Albany penitentiary, and Columbus
Sewall, convicted Of HOUSEKEEPING at the resi-
dence Of Senator Davis and sentenced to eight
years in the Albany penitentiary. Word was
at once sent to police headquarters and an
alarm sent out The white man Buck was con-
fined in the double cell, No. So, at the south
end of the south wing, and Sewan in the adj
joining single cell, No. 81. It appears that
after they left the building they got q cab.
About o'clock this morning they called at
the house OF an acquaintance, rung his door
bell, and informed him of their escape. He
advised them that they had made . mistake
and that they had better give themselves
up, but Buck replied that he would not do
so and they then drove of toward Georgetown.
SAWED BARS AND A BLANKET Rope.
1t was found that they had each sawed two
bars in the cell window and had let themselves
down to the floor Of the outside corridor by
making rope of their blankets. Immediately
in the center Of the outside wall at the south
end Is large window in which the bars are two
inches thick. One of these bars had been sawed
IN two. A frame set Of steps and platform
about six feet high over the air duct aided
them in getting to this window, and then they
had but a few feet to Jump. A board was found
on the outside. This would tend to prove that
OUTSIDE HELP WAS GIVEN THEM.
On searching Bucks cell the saw which was
used inside was found. 1t was a small steel
saw blade about IL inches long. It is thought
that the work was done in the daytime when
there was more or less talking among the pris-
oners. 1t is thought that Buck was at first
alone, but that Sewall heard him ut work and
was let into the plot. Buck has played the
part OF an innocent dupe SO successfully that
even some OF the most accomplished profess
sional thieves in the jail regarded him as
novice. The manner In which this job was
done would indicate that il he is o novice in
crime he is an expert prison breaker.
NsUFFICIENTLY GUARDED.
There were on duty at the time of the escape
but three guards-Capt W. c. Crocker, John A.
Graham and Hill, colored man. Over nearly
200 prisoners there is no guard on the outside Of
the Jail. These three men had made their
o'clock both the escaped prisoners were appar-
emily asleep. At 1890 o'clock Mr.. Graham
made the discovery that both men had left
their cells
1t has trasnpired that the person called on
about O'Clock was a gentleman residing in
the northwest part OF the city who has showed
much interest in Buck, frequently conversing
with him on religious subjects and aiding him
otherwise. This is the first time that there has
been any forcible breaking of the present jail
by prisoner.
