VOTES lJA DEMAND.
The Spell Binders Have Done Their
Work and Are Now
at Rest.
Brief Resume Of the Situation In
the Several States Hold
ing Elections.
Both Parties Confident In tine Close States
The Farmers' Alliance-Other
Uncertain Factors.

New YoRK, Nov. 3-The election in New
York state tomorrow is for Judge Of the
court of appeals, two justices Of the
supreme court. thirty four members of con-
gress and members of the assembly. Robert
Earl, present incumbent of the court Of
appeals, is ON both republican and demo-
cratic tickets. The prohibitionists and So
cialists' labor party have candidates, but
the votes for these will hardly be an appre-
ciable element. Interest centers, therefore,
in the vote for congressman and the men,
bers Of the assembly, as the next legislature
will select successor to Senator Evarts.
The democrats are hopeful Of making some
gains in congress, but the republicans are
equally oopfident they will hold their own,
If not increase their numbers. While the
democrats have been making strenuous
efforts to secure enough assembly votes to
elect q senator, there is very little probable
ity that they will succeed. Much more pop
ular interest attaches to the vote for mu-
nicipal officers in New York city than to the
state election. The contest is between the
Tammany ticket, headed by Mayor Grant.
and the Peoples Municipal league ticket,
headed by Francis NJ. Scott, county demo-
crat, and containing both republican and
democratic names. The latter ticket was
Endorsed by the republican party and the
county democracy, and has had the active
support Of all the republican and mugwump
papers.

CINCINNATI. Nov. 8-Ohio voters will bs
called on to elect secretary Of state. iudge
Of the supreme court, and member Of thu
board OF public works, besides congress
men. The election Of members Of con-
gress is the first under the re-apportlon-
ment made by the Legislature. By tho vote
OF two years ago six of these would elect
republicans Tho others should elect DEM
ocrats. The campaign has had very little
Of state Issues in it. The election of con-
gressmen has made national issues impor-
tant factors in all speeches. Perhaps the
most interesting feature of the campaign
in Ohio is the candidacy of William Nc
kinley in the Sixteenth district. Last
year the counties in his district gave
democratic majority Of 5000. Yet
there have been most earnest efforts by re-
publicans to elect McKinlev. partly on ac-
count Of his value to the party in congress
and partly as vindication OF his policy ON
the tariff law. Equally earnest efforts have
been made to elect his opponent, Judge
Warwick, to show that the people do not
approve the Mckinley bill. Another inter
esting feature is the effort of OK Gov. Charles
Foster in the Eighth district to overcome a
democratic majority of 1900. The effect of
the extra session of the Legislature upon the
election has generally been regarded as ia
vorable to the republicans, inasmuch az it
developed divisions among the democrats,
and resulted, in Cincinnati, in putting q
number OF democrats ont of office.

THE TALL SYCAMORE.

lfcans Claim Congressional Gains.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. Sin Indiana
the Farmers Mutual Benefit association
is factor new to the politics of the state
and it's uncertain strength makes it impos-
sible to predict with any degree of certainty
the result of Tuesdays election. It is gem
orally conceded, however, that the coming
legislature will be democratic by small
majority and this will insure the reelection
of Senator Voorhees, as his own successor in
the United States senate. No governor is
to be elected this fall in Indiana but the
secretary of state, auditor, treasurer and
other minor state officialt are to be chosen,
and both parties claim the state ticket.
lhe democrats claim that the tradi-
tional 'sof year, means demo-
cratic success, but the republicans
rely greatly upon the strength of the ad-
ministfation to carry their state ticket to
victory. Asno governor is to be elected i'm
terest is naturally confined principally to
congressional and legislative contests. which
most vitality affect the party at large. In
the congressional fight, republicans have
derived decided advantage in several dis
tricts by fortunate combinations with the
Farmers' alliance. The new election law
goes into operation and its effect on the re-
suit no one can determine. It is probably
fair to say that the best indications point
to continued democratic control of the leg
islature, but gain of one or two congress-
men by the republicans.

The Bennett School Law the Issue in wis
c0nsin.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 3.-The Bennett COM
pulsory school law is the issue which over
shadows all others in the election to-mor-
row in Wisconsin, where full state ticket
is to be elected. The unexpected election
of Mayor Peck in the republican city OF
Milwaukee, by the aid of sectarian op-
ponents Of the Bennett law, forced him to
the front last spring and he was only few
weeks afterwaTd nominated by the demo-
Gratis for the governorship. His republican
opponent is Gov. Hoard. present governor,
who was renominated by acclamation by
the republicans, and who has boldly taken
the position. with his party, that the BEN
nett law is sound and must remain upon
the statute books. BY pledging themselves
to its modification or repeal the democrats
hope to secure considerable support from
Lutherans and other sectarian societies for
their ticket. The only question is as to the
extent Of this support. The republicans are
confident they will gain from democratic
ranks sufficient number of voters who
favor the law to more than Offset the SEQ
tartan vote. In the congressional contests
alone has the tariff question been the sub
ject of considerable discussion.

to the ranch to see about the doings of the
woman, who it is claimed, has been living
with Bachman. When he left he was fol-
lowed by Bachman to the town of Ashley.
The two men met in a saloon and scufle
ensued. after which they went outside and
Bachman shot Redding twice, the last shot
penetrating his left lung. On Saturday
morning, when the parties left who brought
the information to this city, the victim
was dying. He was formerly q miner in
Butte. The Justice of peace was sent for
TO take his dying statement. and Bachman
is now in the custody Of constable at

Illinois the Scene of Battle Hot and
FuriouA.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-The chief feature Of
the campaign in Illinois is the contest Ex-
Governor Palmer is waging before the peo-
pie for the United States senatorship, the
only state officers to be elected being the
treasurer and superintendent: of public in
struction. Early in the year Governor Pal
mer advanced the doctrine that the United
States senator should be rather selected by
the people of the state than by Legislative
caucus Of the party in power, and this doc
trine found ready concurrence among the
rank and file Of Illinois democracy. The
state convention in june nominated Palmer
and requested him to make personal cam
vass for election by democratic legislat-
ure. In the personal popularity of their
leader the democrats place their strongest
hopes for success in q state that usually
gives 10000 plurality for the republican
ticket. The republicans are confident of
continued control of the general assembly,
but there are so many doubtful districts
that 1T is impossible to predict the general
result The strength of the Farmers Mu-
tual Benefit association and the Farmers
alliance is confined principally to Central
and Southern Illinois, and the democrats in
sections hope to reap much advantage from
local fusions. They are equally hampered
in other localities by the farmers having
made independents legislature nominations,
which have been endorsed by republicans.
In the congressional struggle the democrats
have made an unusually active fight against
Congressman Cannon. The endorsement of
their candidate by the F. NJ. b. A. and the
hostility of some republican papers of the
district to Cannon, give them hopes of de-
featinR him. Chairman Jones, of the re-
publican state central committee, said to-
night that the republicans will carry the
islature ON joint ballot. They expect to
hold their own on members of congress and
probably gain one. At the headquarters Of
the democratic state central committee,
broad claims were made, some members in
sistin9 that the democrats would carry the
state ticket, elect majority of the leRisla
ture, and gain three congressman.
