sociation and the hostility of several
Republican papers of the district TO Cam
non, give them hopes of defeating the

tee. Cannon is confident, but Is conhn-
ing his political efforts this year to his
own district.
Hon. A. NJ. Jones, chairman OF the
Republican state central committee,
said to- might: 1.-THE Republicans will
carry the state ticket aud elect a major
ity of the legislature on joint ballot.
We will hold our own on members OF
congress, aud probably gain one By de-
feating either Foreman or Fithian.
At the headquarters OF the Democratic

claims are made, some members ipsisting
that the Democrats would carry the
state ticks: and elect a majority of ths
legislators, and gain three congressmen-

Nsw York state Tomorrow IS for judge
of the court OF appeals, and two justices

AFACToR IN INDIANA POLITICS.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Nov. 3.-In IN
Al. II
citation is factor new to the politics of
this state, and the uncertain strength
makes it impossible to predict with any
degree of certainty the result OF
Tuesdays election. 1t is generally
conceded, however, that the coming
legislature will be Democratic by a small
majority, and this will insure the re-
election of Senator Voorhees, as his own
successor in the United States senate.
No governor Is TO be elected in Indiana
this fall, only secretary OF state,
auditor, treasurer and other mi
nor state officers are to be
chosen, and both parties claim the
state ticket. As no governor Is 10 be
elected interest Is naturally confined
principally to the congressional and
legislative contest, which most vitality
effect the party at large. In the
COuREb5slOuAt uGHk tuo hcpuOiipaub
have derived advantage in several
districts by fortunate comb instion with
the Farmers Alliance, and they will
probably gain one or two congressman.
Parrett, Democratic nominee in the FIRST
district, will face great odds, as his Re-
publican opponent has been Endorsed by
the farmers, and the district 10 one of
the closest In the state.
A vigorous fight is being made bv the
Republicans against Congressman Cooper
of the Fifth district on account OF mis-
charges against Pension Commissioner
Raum, but indications point to COoper's
reelection at the election. His ReDub-
lican opponent is also the nominee of The
Farmers Mutual Benefit association.
Congressman Brookshire has been re-
nominated in the Eighth district, and has
made hard struggle for re-elr O.. lon. The
Republicans and Farmers Mutual Benefit
association have fused on the congress-
ional ticket, aud as Brookshire's pluraI-
ity two yrarsago was only sixty nine This
chances now are acknowledged to be crit
icai.
The Democrats insist that they will
defeat Congressnau Owen in the Tenth
district, as the district is naturally
Democratic. The factions which have
lost it to the Democratic party in past
years are still alive, however, and Re-
publicans are quite as confident as their
Democratic opponents.
The Republicans have made aggressive
fights against Congressman Holman and
Martin in the Fourth and Eleventh dis
tricts, but the former will BIZ re-elected
and the chances are fairly good for tn
latter. The new election law goes into
operation this election and its effect on
n.afn mn o
probably fair to say that the best indica-
tons point to continued Democratic con-
troll of the legislature, but a gain of one
or two congressman by the Republicans.
MICHIGAN s NUMEROUS TIC KETs.
DETROIT. MICH. Nov. 3.-In Michi-
gan a governor and full state ticket,
eleven congressman and a United States
senator, are to be chosen at to-morrow's
election. Michigan Is q state OF fusion
tickets, but this year there has been q
departure from the usual tactics, and
four full state tickets are In the field.
Republican, Democrat, Industrial and
Prohibition. Hon. James M. Turner Is
the Republican candidate for governor,
and Hon. f. B. Winans is the Demo-
cratic candidate. The Democrats have
made an aggressive fight against Turner
and will probably reduce considerably
the usual Republican plurality.
On the head of the ticket of the In-
dustrial party is a combination of what
would be In other states a I'm on Labor
Farmers Alliance, but its independent
course in nominating full state ticket
prevents 1t from doing other than re-
ducing somewhat the vote of the two
predominant parties.
Considerable interest centers in the
congressional contest In close districts.
In the Kalamazoo district Burrows will
probably be reelected. In the Grand
Rapids district, one of the doubtful dis
tricts of the state, Capt. C. NJ. Watkins
is the Republican candidate and ex-Con-
gresham NJ. Fl. Ford the Democratic
candidate. Both men are confident.
The Democrats say they will not only
hold this district, but gain congressman
in the Tenth district, which the Republi-
caus only carried by lis votes two years
ago.
