THE ELECTION OUTLOOK.

semi-Omcial Utterance by Republican
Campaign Committees Paper.
WAanISGTos CRY, Oct 25.-TSpecial. r
In its issue tomorrow the Politician, which

congressional committee, will publish an
article under the caption, . Why the Party

summary of the situation a. the commit
tee sees it This paper, more than any
other, IL the spokesman for the committee.
The article says:
Any tariff bill requires time to have In merits
demonsratsd The Republican party enacted
this one within month Of IN important cleo
tion. The Democrats promptly seised upon this
opportunity and established conspiracy with
greedy merchants and shopkeepers 70 advance
the prices Of everything and charge it to the
Mckinley bill, and thus arouse popular hatred
for ihe measure. II looked stormy for the party
for fortnight but after = hile the fact was de-
vel0ped that frand in the store cannot be con-
ce4l any moro than fraud at the ballot box.
Now has come on the critical period OF the
week before the election. The Democrats, even
with the great advantages dishonesty gained
by gerrymandering. and even with the Repub-
lican Senate refusing TO give its own party .
chance in thirty-eight districts in the South to

losing confidence. They have had no trouble
in raising money. They have hal no trouble

publicans will have to recover. by fair but
strong means, the gerrymandered districts

South by fraud. But the Republican party il

CAMEHoH, w. Va, Oct Ex-Governor
Hill and party, accompanied by 7. 8.
Riley, chairman of the Democratic state
committee, Governor Fleming and others,
left Wheeling this morning over the Balti-
more 4 Ohio. They were TO have stopped
at all the stations between Wheeling and
Harper's Ferry. to allow the governor to
make addresses. but the programme
was interferred with by collision
at Moundvilie. His train was about
starting out when Engineer Wells
heard . warning note from the engineer OF
the Chicago express. which told him that .
train was approaching on the same track.
About ffty feet ahead of where the gov
ernor's train was standing . highway
bridge spans the railroad tracks. making it
impossible to see approaching trains On
the other side of the bridge. about twenty
i've feet behind the governors train, an
accommodation train running between
Wheeling and Cumberland had come to .
standstill.
When Engineer Wells noticed the ap-
proach of the Chicago express he immedi-
ately reversed his engine. backing the
train, but the Chicago express was moving
1T such high speed that it soon caught up
with the governors train and crashed into
it. The cowcatchers of both trains were
demolished, as were the platforms OF three
coaches. Governor Hills train was thrown
back on the accommodation train, and the
c0wcatcher Of that locomotive was smashed.
Behind the accommodation train Was .
heavily loaded freight train. and the trains
together were thrown back on that with .
slight force. with no damage to the latter
except that the cowcatcher was torn away.
Had Governor Hills train consisted of or
binary coaches they would have been
crushed like eggshells between the two
heavy trains. As it was, the cars of both
of these escaped without even . scratch.
The accident was due to the failure of the
air brakes to work on the Chicago express.
After delay of two hours ct Moundville
two parlor cars we're attached to the ac-
commodation train and Governor Hills
party proceeded.
HARRIsBuHG, Oct. Ex-Governor Hill ad-
dressed large crowds at many points in
West Virginia from the train today. This
evening he spoke to large audience in the
operarhouse here and left later for New
York.

Target Practice on III. Philadelphia.

WAsHINGroN CRY. Oct. 25.-Telegrams
of the first target practice on the new
cruiser Philadelphia have just been re-
ceived at the navy department. The prac-
tice took place at Gardiner's bar, October
4. with six-inch. three-inch and one-inch
rapid-ire guns, and the tests were remark
able. At one range of 100 yards sixty out
of sixty-two shots lodged in an exact ver-
tical line, extending twenty feet above the
water line. which means that every one of
them would have hit an ordinary war ves-
sci in very nearly q safe place. As the
ship and guns are new, this first trial is re-
garded as q satisfactory demonstration of
the quality of our ordnance and the ablI-
ity of our gunners.

ALBUQUERQUE. Oct 25-The late act of
