Two VACANCIES NOT FILLED
In the fourteenth district the republicans
have not filed the vacancy created by the dec
hnation Of Mr.. Christopher {. Shayue. the
New York furrier. who refused to run against
Col. Fellows, and the democrats have shown a
hke neglect in the tventy-siXth district. where
the democratic convention nominee refused to
become n candidate against Nr. RAY The
nominees, with perhaps two exceptions. are
popular and strong with their party voters In
the frs, district the denomination Of James W.
Covert il considered equivelaut 20 an election.
The republican nominee l. not "a strong candl-
date. and Mr.. Covcrt's return l. certain

signed because of his supposed disability a. a
retired army officer On full pay. and Hendrix,
who has been nominated IN his stead, Is
an untried camraigner. but popular. and
slated a. sure Of election. He was for ten years
. member of the New York sun staff and Is a
popular BrOoklynite.

districts that Is at all doubtful IL the fifth. IL

affairs bv "a comparison Of votes Of former
years because of the change in Brooklyn ward
boundaries made by the legislature last winter.
Thomas T. Wagner, who has been renominated
IN the sixth Kings district. composed of five
Brooklyn wards, Is also said TO be sure of an
election
OF the eight New York citv districts not
one can be cla-sed a. even doubtful They will
all return democrats. and seven Of the eight
democratic candidates are renOmInees. There
some trouble over the nominations of
Campbell. Warner and Fitch. The former was
for a time opposed by Harry Miner. the we'll
known theatrical manager. who aspired for
congressional a. well ~ dramatic hOnors.
Campbell. however. made "a rOusing canvass. and
shortly before the nominating convention was
held Miner announced his withdrawal to Mr.
Croker. the Tanmsny chieftain, and Campbell's
denomination was unoppO-ed- Warner was
tacitly opposed BY the Hill and anti-C leveand
element for a time. but they submitted grace
fully to his nomination. and all are united

ment in the democratic party, but his election
Will BE- quite IS easy a matter rs his nomination
OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK AND KINGS.
Outside Of New York and King. above the
Harlem. the outlook is not strongly demo-
cratic. The sixteenth district will be democratic
a. be sure. but IN the seventeenth the outcome
h -hrouded In small doubt. This district
sist- % the counties of R0ckland. Orange and
Sullivan They gave a democratic plurality of
les than 500 IN lsss. Both the democratic and
Republican nominees are able men anu Will Doll

The eighteenth will probably return a re-
publican this year Congressman COx's services
Won him denomination at the hands of his
party. but at present II appears that II will not
be able to elect him. lie has some strength
among republican voters because of his con-
sistent and tIreless opposition to unwIse cur
rency legislation The district has normal
republican plurality of 4 500 which the demo-
Gratis will find hard work to overcome.
Congressman Qusckenbush Is not sure Of
election this year a. he was in 1880. Then the
two counties composing his district gave him
plurality Of l.2i6- This year the dis
trict has democratic plurality of about 800.
The democratic nominee Il young man.
wealthy and popular. and his money and popu-
krity. together with normal democratic
plurality IN his favor, will secure his election.
The voters of the twentieth di-;ric; always
return Congressman Iracey with largely in
creased plurslities. His gallant fight last win
ter and spring against free coinage has won him
voters in hi- district and friends and admirers
throughout the country tie Il opposed per-
functOrily by nominee who Is the proiege OF
John A. Sleichsr. the editor-in-chief of the
New York MAJ and Express. II Is one Of the
humorous incidents OF his candidacy that he

plurality. The twenty-second. tventy-ihird

somewhat rcdoubtable candidate against him IN
ths person u George ;. Weed. the of the
millionaire iron manufacturer of northern New

DEMOCRAT MAY WIZ.
The twenty nth district l. normally republi-
can by small plurality. but Is made doubtful
By ths personal unpopGlArity of the republican
candidate. James =. sherman. who has never
