cERRYMANoER OHIO
Where Republicans Have Fought
Against Very Heavy Odds.

CINCINNATI, o., November 3.-The cleo
tion of members Of Congress tomorrow is
the first under the e-apportionment of the
districts made by the legislature by the act
of March IL, $780, By the vote of two years
ago six of these would elect Republicans,
viz, the second, tenth, twelfth, eighteenth,
nineteenth and twentieth. The others
should elect Democrats. The campaign has
very little OF state fasues In it. The cleo
tion OF congressman has made national
issues prominent. Perhaps the most inter-
estiDg feature Of the campaign in Ohio is
the candidacy Of William Mckinley in the
sixteenth district. Last year the counties of
his district gave Democratic majority of
5000. There has been most earnest effort
by the Republicans to elect Mckinley, part
ly on account of his value to the party in
Congress, and partly as vindicatiOn of its
policy as exhibited In the tariff law Equal
ly earnest efforts were made to elect his op-
ponent, Judge Warwick, to show that the
people do not approve Of the Mckinley tariff
pill. Another interesting feature is the ef-
Tort OF Ex-Governor Charles Foster In the
eighth district to overcome a Democratic
majority Of 1900. The Republicans are in
clined to claim the election of congressman,
besides che six already named as conceded,
In the first, sixth, eighth, ninth, seventeenth
and twenty-hrst districts.

To the Editor OF the Press:
William II. LDoney, Esq, OF Portland

was an eloquent, effective and mastery pre-
sentation of the issues which divide the two
great parties and made deep Impression.
Colonel wheeloek Of New York, who
made the first speech Of the evening, allud-
al to Mfr. Looney as the eloquent lrishman
who would follow him.
Mr.. Looney commenced his remarks with
the following patriotic words:
"The gentleman from New York labors
under mlseOnceptiOn. AN not an Irish

light in Portland, Maine, 1 am Maine,
New England Yankee, and while / am
proud OF the Irish blood which flows
through my veins, l wish II distinel ly un.
derstCOd tnat L am as genuine Yankee aud
as intensely American as the descendants OF
tne Purtaas who came over 10 the May

IL Is needless to say that this pronounced
Americanism Of Mr.. Lnoney was trcriyed
by the audience with tremendous applause,

Meeting Of the Evangelical Minis
tors.

The meeting of the Evangelical ministers
OF Portland and vicinity at the rooms Of the
Y. M. G. A, on Monday, was very fully at
tended, over twenty being present. The
question for dlcussion was one Of deep in
terest to every minister. "What is the duty
OF the ministers Of Christ with reference to
the enforcement Of the Maine liquor law in
the city Of Portland?" This question was
opened by DR.. Clymer In very candid and
able manner. then the clergymen present
were Invited to speak upon the subject as
they were seated around the room, begin
ming with DIR. Merrill Of the Second Parish.
After some eleven or twelve had spoken it
was obvious that there was not time before
the hour for adjOurnp ent for all present to
speak. 1t was, therefore, voted that the
subject should be continued to the next meet
Ing. two weeks hence. Those who spoke
upon the subject did so in very calm, but
earnest manner.
No report of the speeches is to be given un-
til the final action and not then without the
consent of the speaker. The remarks were
confidential. A committee Of five was ap-
pointed to present at the next meenting a
recommendation for course Of action upon
the subject.

BANGOR, November 3,-Dr. George n.
Bailey, state veterinarian, was called to Car
mel Saturday to inspect herd of cattle that
were ailing, and fears were entertained that
the disease was tuberculosis. DR.. Bailey
made an examination and found the disease
to be indeed tuberculosis, and that we'll de.
veloped. The herd came recently from
Massachusetts and probably brought the dis
ease with them. DR.. Bailey goes to Augusta
from here to consult with the state authori-
ties In regard to the advisibility of having
the animals condemned and slaughtered. This
Will probably be done as there is no safety
Tor the other cattle In this section of the
state so long as the diseased animals live.
LEWISTON, November "a special to the
Journal from Bangor, says:
DR.. Bailey of the state cattle commission
was at the Bangor House, Saturday night,
and today Is at Or0nO In response to the fol-
lowing letter:

WHERE FARMERS ARE STRONG.
The Alliance a Prominent Factor In
North Carolina Politics.

RALEIGH, N. c., November 3,-The only
general significance of this. years election
centres in the contest for the legislature
which will elect an United States senator to
succeed Senator Vance. The struggle is be
tween the Democratic and Republican par
ties with no side issues. except one or two
of the central counties where the Quakers
put out local prohibition tickets. The Farm
ers Alliance is very strong In North Carolina
but put out no separate tickets. working as
an order within the ranks Of the two old
parties. The officers to be elected by the
state at large are chief justice one justice of
the supreme court and nine of the superior
court judges. Great interest is felt In the
result In the second. fifth, seventh, eighth
and ninth congressional districts. About
10000 negroes have left the state in two
years. reducing the Republican strength TO-
900. A large majority of the legislature will
be Alliance men and nearly all have endorsed
Vance for reelection as Senator.

The Largest Political Meeting Eve.
Seen In Michigan.
Detroit Trlbune.l


The most magnificent audience that ever
gathered within the walls of the Detroit rink
greeted Thomas Is. Reed Of Maine last night
and enthusiastically endorsed the speeches
made during the evening. As political
demonstration. the meeting more than full
filed all the expectations Of the Republican
state central committee, under whose AUSPICES
1t was held. AS an evidedce OF the esteem
In which Speaker Reed Is held by all classes
OF the community, IL was a crushing rejDin-
uer 70 the politicians who have cried "Czar"
and Caesar." No such sight has ever been
witnessed in the rink as tha tremendous
ovation rendered TO Speaker Reed when he
entered the hall.
A remarkable scene followed. No sooner
old the vast audience realize that the
speaker was at the door than II rose as one
man and gave him an ovation, = eh as h
Tails 70 the lot OF few men to receive At the
hands OF their fellOw-citizens. Cheers,
clapping Of hands and cries Of "Reed,d

brass bands which strOve to play "Marchlng

the volume OF applause. Half the audience
STOOD on chairs To get better view Of what
was transplring In the southeast corner,
wher the Speaker entered. Ladies waved
nandserchlei>, fans, umbrellas, anything
and everything they hai to wave. Men
cneered themselves hOarse, and each We'd

For several minutes this lasted, while the

sons Band, which had acted as an escort TO

residence OF the latter, filed iAto the hall.
ana squeezed themselves around the plat
form. Then General Alger appeared and be-
mind him lowered the massive frame Of
Speaker Reed. He was recognized by every
oody as No passed 20 the platform, followed
by Mayor Pingee and other members OF the
committee that went to Adrian yesterday af-
terD0On TO escort him to the city, and as the
audience got sight OF him the cheering gath
cred fresh force. BOwing his acknowledge
ments, Mr.. Reed took the seat reserved for
him, and when order was at length restored,
senator Mcmillan advanced and introduced
him to the vast audience.
On rising TO make his address Mr.. Reed
received a repetition OF the former ovation.
General Alger advanced with him aud wav-
Ing his handkerchief over the Speakers
head, called Tor three cheers for him. Zen
Times three were enthusiastically given
without moments delay.
Commenting upon the meeting the Tri-
bune said editorially:
There Is more elOquence In one shake Of
Reeds bald head than in all the polished
gestures OF many famous orator.
Reed broke the record. 1t was a bigger
meeting than the one at the old Milwaukee
depot, at which Mr.. Blaine spoke so elo-
luently many years ago.
The way in which Speaker Reed stood up
there, with his hands behind his back, and
poured out good American sentiments gave
point TO Mr.. Cuteheon's remark that the
republicans elected for speaker a man with
liberty pole for back bone.
