LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Times Valparaiso
correspondent thinks he has solved the
problem why the United States, contrary
TO national traditions, should have sup
ported the cause of despotism in Chile.
Regarding the statement that Minister
Egan sought to negotiate a reciprocity
treaty with Balmaceda. he asks: What
kind Of treaty could it have been to oc-
cupy them at such critical moment,
especially as under the Mckinley act ex-
portations of only few American articles
could benefit thereby?" The correspond
ent proceeds:
The United states adnirals have lot displayed
the diplomatic talents OF the French Admiral
Gervais. McCann gave Egan away by supplying
the congressional government with copy of
Egan's letters, and Brown showed the greatest
imprudence, while Gherardi exposed the state

The campaign has been one of the most vgor-

Gratis are confident that Governor Russell will
be reelected, and have some hope for the rest of
the state ticket. The Republicans have no
doubt of the election of all the candidates on
their ticket, save governor, and expect Il plural
ity OF at least 10000 for Colonel Allen. In view
of the expected increase In the total vote it will
indicate a landslide not now expected if the
Democrats elect any state officers after governor
The Republicans will retain majority in tho
house, and probably secure a small majority in
the senate.

democrats Hope to Win on Account OF
the Recent Treasury Scandals.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2.--Pennsylvania will
tomorrow vote for auditor general, state treas
urer aud for or against holding a constitutional
convention. The candidates are: For auditor
general, David Mem. Gregg, Republican; Robert
Wright, Democrat; William Hague, Prohibition
ist. For state treasurer, John W. Morrison, Re-
publican; Adelbert L. Tilden, Democrat; l.
George Dayton, Prohibitionist
While the state usually gives a decided ma
jority for the Republican ticket, the Democrats
contend that the recent treasury exposures will
bring to the support of their ticket the votes of
many dissatisfied Republicans, or cause others
OF that party to abstain from voting This the
Republican leaders will not admit. They
claim they will receive nearly if not
quite the full party vote for an
off year. In support of this claim they point to
the fact that there is disagreement of any kind
among the party leaders as there was last year
when Pattison, Democrat, was elected governor
over Delamater, Republican, by a plurality of
1S,5d Chairman Watres, of the Republican
state committee, today estimated the majority
for the Republican ticket at 5000 to Is 600
Chairman Kerr of the Democratic committee,
claimed that the Democrats would come to
Philadelphia with IS 600 majority. Az the Re
pubicans claim only $1,000 majority in PhiIa-
delphia this would leave $4,000 Democratic ma
jority. The Democratic leaders also claim that
Tilden, candidate for state treasurer, will run
strongly ahead of his ticket.
(The vote of Pennsylvania in 1890 was: Patti
son, Dem. 56i 2G9; Delamater, Rep. 447,65j; Pat

present situation IS without parallel in the past
thirty or forty years, the Democratic party,

is remembered that but one year ago their can
