FLOWER AND FAssETT.
Flip-of- Tongue and Actions-Talk
Await the Vote.

New YORK, Oct. 3O.-The CUBE rna-
torial contest in this state will reach
an issue Tuesday next. The active.
out-of-door and brass band work
will be practically ended with the
mass meetings that will be held both by
Democrats and Republicans all over the
state tomorrow night. Since having
been nominated on Sept. 9 Mr.. Fassett,
the Republican nominee, has canvassed
all the cities and most of the towns
of the state in company with Mr. Vroo-
man, candidate for lieutenant gov
crnOr, each man speaking before every
audience. Meantime Mr.. Flower. the
Democratic candidate, has appeared on
the platform as a speaker only twice
since he accepted the nomination. Mr..
FaSsett has delivered nearly 200
speeches-Mr. Flower 8.
The Democrats say Mr.. Fassett has
talked too much; the Republicans de-
clare that Mr.. Flower has talked too
little. The gauge of contest from the
Republican side was laid down in Mr..
FaSsett'S speech of acceptance in which
Tammany hall was made the issue.
Should Tammany dominate the state
or shouldn't she? National politics
were not discussed, it being held that
state issues should dominate all others
in state election. On the other hand.
the Democrats have urged that national
issues upon the eve of a national cam
paign should be, discussed, and the
Democratic speakers have dweit upan
the national issues, and especially
has the subject of the worlds fair loea-
ton been canvassed, the Democrats
urging that Mr.. Fassett represented
opposition to New York's interest III
his action upon the fair measure when
before the state legislature. The regis
tration has'Deen larger than last year

NI'KINLEY DONE FOR.
Gen. DevereauX Says Campbell
Will Have the Votes.

CHICAGO. Oct. 30.-Gen. A. E. Dew
ereauX, of Cincinnati. who is in Chicago
OH business, said tonight in all inter
view that, being an enthusiastic Peo-
pies parry man, he feels that he may
be trusted to speak without prejudice
about the political outlook in the Buck
eye state. He said that no human be-
ing cen declare with certainty that any
particular candidate will be elected or
any special one be defeated. Three
candidates for governor" said he, "haye
a possibility of election. A little more
than third of the total vote will elect
one of them. should say that McKin-
ley is done for. As tor Campbell, he
will get the necessary third and little
over, but his plurality will not be large.
lit is red-hot contest and the three
parties are likely to divide the vote
pretty evenly. 1t seems inevitable that
there will be great number of sur
prises. The Australian system is con-
founding all the politicians, and they
don't know what to expect. The oppor-
tunity has now been given to every man
to go to the polls, take his ballot in ab-
solute privacy and mark it without
observation and vote for whOmSoever he
desires, without intimidation or fear CT
criticism or persecution. That makes
wonderful difference.
1.-The Republicans" added Gen. Dew
ereauX, make great efforts to prove
that they are at peace among them
selves. At Cincinnati Saturday night
there was a notable attempt to prove
the unity of the grand old party. There
was grand Republican mass meeting
at the music hall. John Sherman and
Joseph Benson Foraker were the orators
of the occasion. They were escorted to
the place by the Blaine club i'll white
plug hats, representing Foraker, and
by the Lincoln club in black plug hats,
representing Sherman; and IN order to
show how harmonious everything was,
the two organizations sandwiched them
selves together in the procession.
SHERMAN and Foraker walked down
the aisle to the platform arm in arm
in order 10 prove the harmony OF
the party, and then openly declared
that there was no contest for the United
States Senatorship. Well. there was a
good meeting, and on Monday night the
Democrats held a grand rally at the
same place. The hall was crammed
tull, and Campbell had to address the
crowd on the outside. But, after all, [
should not he surprised to see John
SeitZ, the Peoples party candidate,
elected, and the more l Think of it the
more possible it seems that he may be-

ready for the Mckinley rally tomorrow
night and the great Campbell meet
ing Monday. Betting isn't at all lively,
but such as there is makes
Mckinley the favorite. The Prohibi-
tionistS have not made any great effort
in Southern Ohio and are not likely to
increase their vote. Neither of the
great parties have any fear of the Peo-
pies party on tue gubernatorial ticket.
1t seems that the party has adopted the
tactics that succeeded so we'll in Ken
lucky, of concentrating on the legisa-
ture, and leaving the voter free to fol
low his old party lines for state officers.
In several legislative districts that are
close the weaker party has fused with
the Peoples party. The number of
Democratic and Republican fusions of
this sort are about equal and will Offset
each other as far as the general political
complexion of the legislature is con-
cerned. Then the Peoples party pre-
walls in spots. 1t il not spread
over the state. In many cOun-
ties it Will get no support
worth mention. No expert in pol
itical forecasts here of either party
looks for above 25,00l to $4,000 votes for
SeitZ. AS to the Australian ballot sys-
TEN, all danger of loss of votes by i'll
correct tickets is over, as the people are
we'll educated OIL that subject, and such
lost votes will offset each other in the
two parties. After all there is good
deal of uncertainty as to the result be-
tween Mckinley and Campbell, but
there is always on the eve OF an election
after vigorous campaign.

A BRUTAL BUTCHERY.
Years Of Kindness Repaid by a
Horrible Deed.


New YORK, Oct. 3O.-Minnie Ban
hauser, a pretty, light brown-haired
German girl, was found in her lovers
bedroom tonight, at 2O7 West
Sxty-seventh street, with her throat
cut from ear to ear. She was
dead and had been for several
hours. Her murderer, William Miller,
a pianomaker, twenty-fOur years old,
killed her with his jackknife and then
escaped. The dead girl is the youngest
of family Of sixteen children. The
mother is a widow, living at 207 West
tiers and son. The other chill
dren have all married or died.
The discovery of the deed was made by
the murdered girls sister She came
home from her work and found that her
sisters life had been taken by Miller.
Widow Banhauser came to this city fiji
teen years ego from Cincinnati. O., with
her family. She brought with her
a young German boy, William
Miller, who was like one of
her own, because he belonged to dear
friends in the old country. Miller and
Minnie grew up together, ana it was
understood that She was his accepted
sweetheart. He was savagely jealous
of any person who spoke to her. When
found the dead girl lay on bed in
MilIer's room with three fearful gashes
in her throat, either one of
which would have proved fatal. The
bedclothes, floor and wall and door
were covered with blood marks. The
knife with which the murder was COM
mitted lay near the body. Miller's
trunks were in confusion. A tub i'll
which was some bloody water showed
where he had washed his hands.

Betrayal by Friends.
BEAVER, Pa, Oct. Ex-senator Quay
sent the following telegram to-day to
Comptroller Lacey: Il beg to be in
formed at your earliest convenience by
whose authority or permission a certif-
cate of deposit for SS,S177, dated Nov. %,

LONDON, Oct. 30.-The council OF the
Conservative National union has in
process of incubation an electoral pro-
gramme which promises to outbid that
adopted at the Newcastle Liberal con-
gress. a circular recently issued by
the council, directing the leaders of
local caucuseS to make special effort
to oppose the Liberal propaganda,
elected appeals from every quarter of
the country for an authoritative plat
form. Conservative agents will there
fore be sent OF tour of the districts at
the expense of the council, Oh the APP
plication Of local associations, and they
will chiefly occupy themselves with a
destructive criticism of the opposition
projects.
The Conservatives also feel the neces-
Sity Of Offering a constructive policy.
Semi-officially the platform can be
stated as follows: Cessation, with the
adoption of the local government bill, of
special Irish legislation and the concen-
tratiOn of the attention of parliament
on British affairs: extension of popular
local government by the creation of dis
trict councils; allotment of small hold
llSS lOI lduUIcIS, administered Nv us
trict councils; legislation for the arbi-
traIion of strikes; free breakfast
table-meaning the lowest possible tax
alton on tea, coffee, cocoa; reduction
of the duty on tobacco; the vesting of
the power of licensing i'll the county
councils, with a provision for the COM
pensatiOn of publicans deprived or their
licenses; and the introduction of bill
providing for insurance against old age
To these positive proposals must be
added negative principles naturally be-
longing to conservatism, including OPP
position TO church disestabllshment,
maintenance of denOminational schools,
preservation of peers privileges, and
rejection of local option. In the matter
of eight hours for days work, in re-
fusing to daily with which the party
leaders will be firm, the platform does
not give the electors a comprehensive
prospect of reform equal to that afford
ed by the Liberal programme, but it is
freer from fads and more Immediately
practical.
