State usually gives decided majority for
the Republican ticket, the Democrats con-
tend that the recent Treasury exposures
will bring to the support If their ticket the

cause others OF that party to refrain from

will not admit. They claim that they
willMreceive nearly, if not quite fully
the party vote for an off year. In support
OF this claim they point TO the fact that
there are no diSagreements of any kind

The Exc;tement subs;dinp.

LONDON, Nov. "A dispatch from Val
paraso says: ''The excitement over the
Baltimore incident is subs:ding The Presi-
dency of the republic has been offered to
Jorge Montt. Congress will be renpened on
November 10Th. Most of the political pris-
oners have been released. The Govern
ment is disposed to satisfy the legitimate
claims made by foreigners for losses suf-
fered during the revolution"
A liberal caucus to nominate President
will be held on Wednesday. The choice 10
considered to lie between Jorge Montt,
Barros Luco and Aologio Altimarano, with
the chances in favor of Montt. Congress
meets Friday. 1t is understood the final
question to be considered will be the dis
posal OF the refugees. The Chileans are
constantly discriminating against Ameri-
cans. The same Judge that investigated
the attack on the American sailors investi-
gated at the same time the sabbing of a
German sailor by a Chilean sailor. The
case was parallel one with the attack on
WAS permitted TO be present at the trial,
while the trial of the Americans was secret,
the Judge refusing to permit an American
officer to be present. The hatred of Ameri-
cans continues to be expressed everywhere.
The Morning Posts Berlin dispatch says:
The Chilean Legation here has received news
pointing to speedy settlement OF the diff
Guilty between Chile and the United States.
A FRIENDLY OPINION.
The Daily Telegraph says: If the evil
dence of the Baltimore's sailors is true they
were the victims of the foulest outrages
ever committed upon unarmed men in a
friendly port. With such report Secre-
tary Blaine would have failed In his duty
had he not demanded an immediate expana-
ton. We strenuously object to the name of
England being dragged into the matter. If
the Chieans have conceived the notion
that England will interfere they cannot too
soon or too emphatically be disabused of
such an idea. 1t is quite unfair to take the
charges against Egan as the truth and upon
| them found an Indictment against Ameri-
| can diplomacy. England should not taunt
| and menace. but should advocate cautious
| diplomacy and mutual forbearance.

and upward But as the campaign Pro-
gressed the voice of opposition has been
stifled and its extent grew less and less appa-
rent. As far Rs appearances 20, the light
will not be seriously influenced by the Peo-
pies and Prohibition parties. The Repub-
licans assert their confidence OF victory for
Mckinley; but the Democrats claim that
they will elect Campbell and the Legisla-
ture. The uncertainties are the effect of
the Australian ballot law, the strength of
the Peoples party and the conclusions which
the Ohio farmers and rural growers may
have arrived at on the tariff and financial
questions.

Most Hotiy Contested "of-Year" Cam
paign in the History of the State.


paign in the History of the State.
TOPEKA (Kans.), Nov 2.-The election in
Kansas is not traught with the general in
terest that poit S in the mercurial State
usually inspires. Not only is it an off-year
election, but an election at which there is
not even a single State officer to be chosen.
Yet it must not be understood that it Is
without interest. 1t has been one Of the
most hOtly contested "off-year" campaigns
ever witnessed in Kansas, both OF the lead
ing parties making determined effort to
break the strength and stunt the growth OF
the Farmers Alliance or Peoples party.
Particularly is this true of the Republican
party, but in some Localities the Democrats,
as minority party, have thought it expedi-
ent 10 effect fuSious with the Farmers
party. With the exception of nine District
Judges the campaign Is purely local, ana
confined to the election of county officers.
Both State Central committees have been
daily sending out scores of speakers into
every nook and corner of the State. The
Republicans feel II question OF supreme
Importance that they should carry many of
the county elections and thus say to the
East and entire nation that the State OF
Kansas is once more safely IN the Repu BILL
can ranks. The Democrats naturally are
not particularly anxious to aid the R-publl-
cans IN the cOnsummati0n Of their wishes
in this respect, and probably for this reason
the. Democratic State Central Committee at
recent meeting gave quasi-indorsement to
various local tusiOns with the Peoples par
ty. This action of the committee however.
has been repudiated by many of the leading
Democrats, aud several of the most promi-
.nent party organs. The particular interest
in this election, therefore, is in the strength
that may be developed by The PEOPLES party
the party that swept the State year ago.
and that hopes to deliver tie vote of the
State for third party Presidential candi-
date in the Electoral College next year.

An Exciting State Campaign Fought on
National Issues.

An Exciting State Campaign f ought on
National Issues.
COLUMBUS Ohio, Nov. 2.-Never since
the war has a campaign been waged in the
Buckeye State which attracted so much
general interest, so hotly contested and so
exclusively devoted to national issues as the
one which closed tonight, with two of the
ablest and most representative gentlemen of
the State as standard-bearers of their re-
spective parties. The country at large has
been drawn upon and the national leaders
aud recognized exponents of both parties
summoned to expUund the principles Of Re-
publicauism and Democracy. The joint de-
bate Of Campbell and Mckinley will long
remain historical. John Sherman talked
finance and Roger Q. Mills answered him.
and William NJ. Springer of Illinois an
swered his arguments. Ex-Speaker Reed
and Crisp stumped the Western Reserve,
Cannon and Mcmillan discussed tariff and
the "billion-dollar Congress-" State issues
were almost forgotten.
-Four complete State tickets are in the
feld:. For Governor-James b. Campbell
Qncumb-nt, Democratic candidate; Will
lam Mckinley Jr., Republican; John Seitz,
the Peoples; John j. Ashenhurst, Prohi-
bition. Uron the tariff issue, clearly defined
between the Two great parties. for and
against The Mckinley law, the Prohibition
lists declared for tariff only as q means Of
international reciprocity. The Peoples
party demanded that taxation should not
be used to build up one interest or class at
the expense Of another. Upon the financial
question, the Republican party ind0rsed the
amended coinage act of the last Republican
Congress- by which the entire product Of
the silver mines OF the United States is to
be added To- the currency Of the people The
Democrats denounced the decentralization Of
silver In 1873; denounced the reinstatement
of constitutional standard Of both gold and
silver, with the equal right Of each to free
and unlimited coinage. The Prohibtionists
demanded a circulating medium of gold,
silver and. paper. The Peoples party de-
manded that full legal tonder Treasury
notes be issued in sufficient volume to con-
duet the business of the country Oh a cash
basis; favored Government loans directly
to the people at rate OF interest not to ex-
ceed 2 Per cent. and the unlimited coinage
Of silver.
Major Mckinley having made frequent
references in his speeches to the growing
p American industry 0s the manufacture OF tin,
sharp controversy arose over the question
whether there WAS any growing tin indus
try, or even any ore in the United States.
kThe outlook is nst easy 10 determine.
The opposition to Governor Campbell in his
own party was so pronounced before his
nomination that the Republic ms had no
thought Of the possibility Of his success

Tennessee Convicts Liberated From tn
Mines at Oliver Springs.


KNoXvILLE(Tenn.), Nov. AT o'clock
this morning 200 mounted mea came
in from the mountains and liberated
200 convicts working in the mines at
Oliver Springs. SO quietly was it done
that the people OF the town knew nothing
about what had happened until 6 o'clock
this morning, when they discovered the
stockade q mass of smoking ruins. All
short-term prisoners were furnished with
citizens clothing, and, with the exception
of few captured. all are now at large.
This makes more than five hundred peni-
tentiary convicts turned loose in that local
ity since Friday evening The Governor of
the State was here yesterday but LETT this
morning for Nashville. 1t does not appear
that there was any resistance on the part of
the guards and nobody was hurt. The
widest rumOrs prevail, one of which is that
the miners will Immediately proceed to
Tracy City and release the convcts there.
Later adviceS from divers confirm the
statement that 156 convicts were released.
But ten guards were in the stockade. The
miners numbered 200 and all we're mounted
and many of them masked. 1t is now
stated that the miners are releasing con-
victs taken BY the officers as soon as they
are captnrel.

counties. They will vote for a successor

RICHMOND Va.), Nov 2.-The election in
this State tomorrow is for the purpose of
selecting an entire House of Delegates and
half of the Senate. No State question is in
volved. The Republicans as a party have
refraincd from placing candidates in the
field. although here and there Republican
or Independent may be found OH the tick
cts. The Democratic candidates in the
main are Alliance men, and, while some
were nominated for that reason, others
were not. 1t is safe to say the Democrats
will carry at least seventy counties in the

tricts, but majority of those so elected
will probably be in sympathy with the ALI

Immense Destruction Of Farming Property
nv Forest and Prairia Fires


ABERDEEN Is. Dak.), Nov. 2.-The great
est wnd-storm which has ever visited this
section has just subsidized. The presence Of
large prairie fires west of this city made
the situation anything but pleasant. At
Roscoe the people watched the fire and
guarded their homes all night. Still several
lost houses, barns, hay and even stock by
the fierce flames.
At Huron the Riverside Cemetery was
ruined by fire.
AT Glendale furious gale from the west
makes the work Of fighting the fire an al
most hopeless task. 1t is reported that a
scope of country eight miles wide and eighty
miles long has been swept by the fire, and
that the loss will be upward of 100000.
