Both Parties Confident.

HARTFORD. CT. Nov. 3.-Both parties
are expressing confidence. The prohibition
and labor parties each have a full State
ticket in the field. The new secret ballot
operates this year for the first time in a
general election. All ballots must 20 into
a sealed envelope and all envelopes into
one ballot box. A great delay in the count
is expected in consequence. In case the
State ticket fails of majority on the pop
ulai vote the legislature will elect the
State officers from the highest two candi-
dates. The general expectation is that the
legislature will be called upon to do this.

the Governor and full State ticket. eleven
Congressman and the Legislature are to he
chosen at tomorrows election. There are
four full State tickets in the teld-repub-
lican, democratic. industrial and prohibi.
ton. Hon. James NJ Turner is the repub.
lican candidate for Governor and Hon. f..
B. Winans the democratic candidate for
Governor. The democrats made an az
gressive fight against Turner and will
probably reduce considerably the usual
republican plurality on the head of the
ticket. The industrial parry combination
of what would be in other states the union
labor and farmers alliance, and It's indie
pendent course in nominating full State
ticket prevents it from doing other than
reducing somewhat the vote of the two
predominant parties. Considerable inter-
est centers in the congressional contests in
the close districts. Congressman Bur-
rows of Kalamazoo district, this year is
opposed by his old democratic competitor
Ex-Congressman Yaple. Burrows will
probably he reelected. In Grand Rapids
district, where c. w. Watkins is the re-
publican, aud Ex-Congressman NJ. II. Ford
the democratic candidate, the result is hard
to predict. In the Seventh district the
republicans hope to gain their Congressman
by defeating Congressman Whiting, and
the democrats are just as hopeful that they
will not only hold this district but gain the
Congressman in the Tenth district.

Farmers Will Take a Hand in Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 8. - The
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association is a
new political factor in this State. which
makes it impossible to predict with any de-
gree of certainty the result of Tuesdays
election. 1t is generally conceded that the
coming legislature will be democratic by
small ma jority. This will ensure the re-
election of Senator Voorhees, to the United
States Senate. Secretary of State, auditor.
treasurer and other minor State officers are
to be chosen, and both parties claim the
State ticket. In the congressional fight the
republicans have derived decided advan-
tage in several Of the districts by for
tunate combinations with the Farmers
Alliance, and they will probably gain one
or two Congressman. A vigorous fight is
being made by the republicans against Con-
gressmsn Cooper of the fifth disrict,on ac-
count of his charges against Pension Com
mission Raum. Indications point to Coop
er's reelection. The new election law goes
into operation at this election.
