NOBLE STRIKES BACK.
THE sEcRETARYs REPLY TO GOVERNOR
HILLS CENSUS LETTER.

He Criticises the Partisan Spirit Displayed
by His Correspondent, and Alleges That
Whatever Inaccuracies Exist Are Due to
Democratic Outcry and Obstruction.
WASHINGTON. November 3.-Secretary
Noble to-day mailed letter to Governor
Hill, OF New York, replying to the Gov
ernor'S request for a reconsideration of the
request for census recount Of New York
City. In his letter the Secretary says,
among other things:
There had already been delivered to me a
letter from the Mayor of the city of New York
on the same subject. While you have added
the weight of the Governors office to the com.
plant, you have failed to add to those already
presented by the Mayor a single suggestion of
the slightest value.
It is much to be regretted that in the letter to
me, when acting upon purely official matter,
you, as Governor, should speak as a partisan,
and impute corrupt purpose to the census
enumerators to secure party advantage by
diminishing the count of the City of New
York. Your imputation against the enumera-
tors and the census work is so entirely gra-
tuitous and unfouuded as to be slanderous, and
you should know that your abusive course
could not tend to promote the judicial consider
cation of the Mayor. Your charge imputing
fraudulent motives to others, rather suggests
that as your party thinks an increased popula-
tlon would inure to its advantage the count of
the police (taken. as 1t has been, since the
Police Board of New York has been made
partsan). needs the very closest scrutiny
and analysis. The charges now being made in
New York against the city government by
Democrats are not of a kind to relieve any
work done by it of the gravest suspicion of
reckless partisanship.
Some OF the Democratic newspapers in New
York and elsewhere made the census enumer-
ator's work very difficult, by exciting the pre-
Judlce OF ignorance, and it is to be remarked
that you, as early as the lst of J uly last. made
an address before the Hendricks Club, at In-
dlanapolls. in which you bitterly aSsailed the
census office and its work, and asserted with
out any knowledge whatever the same evil pur-
pose you now send to me officially. You then
repeated the newspaper criticisms and spoke
OF the great army of inquisitors sent prying
into our houses, asking impertnent questions
making false records, etc, and you did rot fail
to notice the possible effect Of all this in raising
popular distrust and disinclination to respond to
the enumerators. You did not succeed in these
efforts to any considerable degree, but you are
largely responsible for any inaccuracies that
may exist.
The Secretary denies that all the New
York enumerators were Republicans. As
regards political motives Of an inaccurate
count, the only State, he says, which seri-
ously complained, as State, of a short
count was Republican Oregon, while almost
no complaint was heard from the Demo-
cratic Southern States.

How 2,7OO Miles, at 100 Per Day, We're Cow
cred by the Use of 80 Horses.
Toronto Empire.l
During the last century when long Jour-
neys, called riding posts we're much in
vogue in Europe among the aristocracy and
wealthy sporting men, match was made
between Mr.. Shafts and Mr.. MAXWELL for
1000 guineas, MIR. Shafts to find man who
would ride 100 miles per day for 27 consecu-
tive days. There was great deal of money
bet on this thing, principally against it be-
ing done.
1t was we'll known, however, that dis
tances of 800 and 1 200 or even !, 500 miles
had been frequently covered at the rate OF
loo to 120 or even $50 miles per diem, but
the knowing ones thought that the enor-
nous distance OF 2,700 miles at 100 per day
would be likely to break any horseman
down. Nevertheless, John Woodcock, VINO
was selected to ride by Mr.. Shafts, per-
formed the feat without any extra fatigue or
punishment. He used 30 horses, and rode
three or four OF them each day.

BRACKETT PROBABLY ELECTED,

But the Democrats win Gain One Congress
man in Massachusetts.
BOSTON, November 3.--The election in
Massachusetts tomorrow Is for Governor and
other State officers, II members of Congress,
a Legislature, district attorneys and county
officers, Republicans, Democrats and Pro-
hibitionists. The Union Labor party placed
a ticket in nomination, but failed to file the
nominations in season to secure place in
the official ballot. This will be the seco nd
State election and the first Congressional
election in Massachusetts, under the
Australian ballot law.
More than the usual doubt is felt touch
ing the result. The probability seems to
be, however, that Governor Bracket will
be elected by a small plurality, that the
rest of the Republican State ticket will be
elected by the usual majority and that the
Democrats will gain one member of Con-
gress.

CLOSE IN CALIFORNIA.

Both Parties Are Claiming the Golden State

SAN FRANCISCO, November 3.-The
election to be held in California tomorrow
will be for Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
Chief Justice and three Associate Justices
Of the Supreme Court, Controller. Treasurer,
and number of other State
officers, as we'll as six members of
Congress. Members of Legislature are also
to be elected and more than the ordinary
degree of interest is taken in this latter con-
test as a United States Senator is to be
elected at the next session OF the Legislature
to succeed Leland Stanford, Republican,
besides the regular Republican and Demo-
cratic tickets.
Both parties express great confidence in
victory tomorrow, but not many definite
estimates as to majoriIies are INDUCED in by
either side, and it is generally believed the
election will be close one.

PROBABLY MURDERED.

A Stabbing in a Restaurant at an Early
Hour This Morning.
Roger Eagan, a young man about 81
years of age, was probably fatally stabbed
in row at c. H. Maisch's restaurant No. Sc
Diamond square, at 2:30 A. NJ. this morn
ing. The person alleged to have done
the stabbing is young man known
by number of Pittsburger as ''Tommy
the Dog" The fights alleged to have been
started by Eagan saying that he would
challenge Tommy's vote at the election to-
day.
Tommy the Dog" has not been in the city
very long, having come from Wheeling but a
short time ago and this is thought to be
Eagan's reason for challenging his vote.

MUCH INTEREST IN IOWA.

The Principal Features of To-Day's Contest
in the Hawkeye State.
DEs MONIES, November, 3.-The pecu.
liar political complications which enabled
the Democrats to elect Governor in Iowa
last fall makes this State the object of par
ticular interest. The State officers to be
elected are Secretary of State, Treasurer,
Auditor, Judge of the Supreme Court and
Railroad Commissioner. The Republic
ans have the greatest confidence in their
ability to elect their State ticket, when
there are so many candidates, Stale and
Congressional, in the field that full vote
may be expected. The Democrats. however.

Alliance is not particularly strong in Iowa,
but the prohibition question isalways a glow

NO FUSION IN MICHIGAN.

Will be Reduced.

But the Republican Majority on Governor
Will be Reduced.
DETROIT, November 3.-In Michigan a
full State ticket, IL Congressman and a
Legislature are to be chosen tomorrow.
Michigan is a State of fusion tickets, but
this year there has been a departure from
the usual tactics, aud no less than
four full State. tickets are in
the field-the Republican, the Democratic,
the Industrial and Pehibition. The Dem
ocrats here made an aggressive fight against
Turner, and will probably reduce consider
ably the usual Republican plurality on the
head of the ticket
The Industrial party is a combination of
what would be in other States the Union
Labor and Farmers Alliance; but its inde-
pendent course in nominating full State
ticket prevents it from doing other than re-
ducing the votes of the two predominant
parties.

THE OUTLOOK IN INDIANA.
A Democratic Legislature Conceded and
Probable Republican Gains.

A Democratic Legislature Conceded and
Probable Republican Gains.
INDIANAPOLIS, ,November3.-In Indiana
the Farmers Mutual Benefit Association is
factor new to the politics of that State, and
its uncertain strength makes 1t impossible
to predict with any degree of certainty the
result of Tuesdays election. 1t is generally
conceded, however, that the coming Legis-
lature will be Democratic by a small ma
jority, and this will insure the reelection Of
Senator voorhees, as his own successor in
the United States Senate. Both parties
claim the State ticket.
In the Congressional fight the Republi-
cans have derived decided advantage in sew
eral districts by fortunate combinations with
the Farmers Alliance and they will prob
ably gain one or two Congressman.
A vigorous fight is being made by the Re-
publicans against Congressman Cooper, OF
the Fifth district, on account of his charges
against Pension Commissioner Raum, but
the indications point to Cooper's reelection.

SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC REvoLTs,
Possibility That the Regular Nominee Ma
be Defeated

ue DeIeate0.
COLUMBIA, S. C., November 3.-The
election in South Carolina is to be for full
State ticket and congressman, and the in
terest arises from the split in the Democratic
ranks caused by Tillman's nomination.
Neither labor nor liquor questions enter into
the present contest.
The State election hinges mainly on the
opposition by the small faction of
the Democratic party calling them
selves ''straight-outs," to what rhey
term the disreputable character
OF fTillman, the regular Democratic nominee
Tor Governor, based on his charges of corrup-
ton and fraud in the administration of af-
fairs since 1876, and from the fact that the
Alliance was largely instrumental in secur-
ing Tillman's nomination. The great BODY
OF the white people will vote for Tillman. It
is possible, however, that with the undivided
support of the Republicans, the Haskell
ticket may be elected.
