Chairman Harrity Says 1t Will Be

Special to the Globe
NEW YORK, Nov. Civilian F. Har-
rity, chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, said tonight of the
condition of the closing campaign:
"Our confidence in the election of
Cleveland and Stevenson increases
hourly. Democratic victory is now alb
solutely certain. All doubt has been
removed by full and conclusively salts
factory advice from all of the Southern
states in which our opponents have
made pretenSe Of contest, as well as
from New York, Indiana, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Information from the Western and far
Western states juStifies the hope of an
impending political revolution that will
add number of electoral votes to those
admitted to be sure for Cleveland, as
we'll as lose several others to Harrison
In states heretofore Republican. There
are also hopeful indications in New
England. We owe much to the admir-
able management of the Democratic
state organizations, especially to those
in the close and doubtful states. Their
work has e IN efficient, and the result
of it is nc 2parent IN the confidence
which the pt feel that Tuesday next

DETROIT, Nov. 6.-The most exciting
campaign in the history of the state is
practically closed, and the result Of the
active work that has been done by the
three parties only can be known when
the vote is actually counted. All par
ties admit that the result will be a
mixed one. The Miner law, providing
for the selection Of presidential electors
by congressional districts, makes the
situation unique. and as congressman
and state legislature which will have
the naming OF United States senator
are to be elected, the result will be all
the more interesting. The total vote
will be close to 10000 OF this number
$4,000 will 90 to the ProhibitionistS and
between 10000 and 10000 to the Eco
ple's party. The remainder will be
divided more or less closely between
Republicans ard Democrats. The
Republicans had $4,000 votes in
1888, and if they retain that vote
they are safe. The highest Democratic
vote was 223.436 in 1888. They must
hole this, and must gain 10000 votes to
carry the state. On the whole. the Re-
publicans concede four electors to the
Democrats, and claim the rest The
Democrats concede six to the Repub-
licans and one to the Peoples party, re-
serving seven for themselves. The
congressional delegation will be divided
in about the same proportion as the
electors. Judge Allen 8. Morse, the
Democratic candidate for governor, will
give ex-Congressman John Il. Rich

bent, expects to succeed himself in the

Republican hope is that by using the
treasury as we'll as the Frick contribu-
tions as foater fund, votes enough
can be bought for Harrison to keep
down the Democratic majory in New
York. But for every vote thus
purchased, five will be cast
for Cleveland and Stevenson by
Indignant Independent citizens in re-
buke of force bill methods, and as a
protest against their continuance and
extension. This point is very clearly
made by Gen. Emmons Clark, for many
years the commander of New York; s
famous Seventh regiment. and life
long Republican, who has just declared
that he will vote and use all his in

The COMING TRIUMPH
Ring-Ridden Minnesota Will
Be Free After Many
Years.
Both LaWler and Cleveland
Will Carry the State
Tomorrow.
An Estimate From Every
County Gives Majorities
for These Leaders,
And the Legislature Will Be
Strongly Against the Re-
publieans.

Rlng-ridden Minnesota is to be eman-
cipated.
A new deal in the state government
is assured.
And abuses that have been fostered
for years will be no longer tolerated.
The barnacleS that have for thirty
years controlled the state are to be
retired.
A careful canvass of the eighty coun-
ties of Minnesota assures the election
of that gallant, honest and able young
tribune OF the people, Daniel w.
Lawler.
There is no doubt that the majority
against the wheat ring. the pine land
ring, the iron ring and the state house
clan will exceed $1,000 votes.
Three judges of the supreme court
who will stand on the side of the peo-
pie will be elected by majorities that
will exceed the highest estimates made.
And to all this can be added the prom
ise that Minnesota will aid i'll the elec-
ton of Grover Cleveland to the presi-
| dency.
Tax the dollar and not the man has

Star state has nobly responded.
That Minnesota will tomorrow declare

assured from the estimates that will be

HOT IN WEST VIRGINIA.
The Mountain State Claimed by
Both Parties.

Both Parties.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. 6.-Both
sides claim the state, and also the legIs-
lature, which will elect successor to
Senator Faulkner. Chairman Chiffon,
of the Democratic committee, says that
West Virginia will go Democratic by
from 5000 to 5000 majority; that the
legislature will be Democratic and all
four Democratic congressman will be
elected. Chairman Dawson. of the Re
publican committee, says that fair
vote means certain Republican success.
the Legislature by small majority and
three Republican congressman, if not
four. Deputy sheriffS have been appoint
ed in Mercer and Mcdowell counties to
be at the polls, and the Republicans
charge that they are to be used to in
timidate colored voters. The Democrats
deny this, and say it is simply to pre-
vent illegal voting, which they claim
the Republicans have imported. There
are fears of trouble in these two cOun-
ties. In other portions of the state the
election will be quiet. The new Aus
tralian ballot law will be tried for the
first time, and no one has any idea what
party will reap the advantage.
WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 6.-Both
sides claim the state. Either side will
be satisfied with 1000 plurality or less.
1t is the closet and hottest fight West
Virginia has ever had. Stephen b.
Elklns has been here for three weeks.
He has visited every county. and he
expects the success of the Harrison and
Reid electors. Thomas E. Davis, Re-
publican candidate for governor, says
! he is sure of election and of the state
going for Harrison. The Republicans
expect to elect three congressman out
of four. The Democrats are confident
that the state is safely Democratic.

A SILVER PRESIDENT.
The Populists Want Either
Stewart or Teller in the
White House.
They Propose to Get One OF
Them There by Trading
With Republicans.
A Nice Little Game to Divide
the Spoils After the
Election.
Cleveland Will Block the Play
by Securing a Clear
Majority.

Special to the Globe.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. CT leaked
out tonight from what is regarded as
reliable authority that the purpose OF
the leaders of the Populists to defeat
both Cleveland and Harrison, not by
the election of Weaver, but by forcing
upon the Republicans the alternative Of
electing either Senator Teller or Sen
ator Stewart, or going to defeat. A gen
tleman high up in the third party coun
sells said to an Associated Press reporter
tonight that the forecast of the election
given by the Associated Press in this
could be expected. [ can assure you,
however, that the Populists will be
more formidable than they are given
credit for. From the coigne Of vantage
which they occupy they hold the bal
ance OF power, and can dictate terms.
They can do so honorably, and they
will do So Republican and Democratic
electors are morally bound to vote for
the candidates in whose interest they
were elected. Hopelessly in the minor
ity. they cannot hope to elect their can
didate, and, as they are fighting for
measures and not men, their duty is to
secure as much as possible from the
wreck.
A Smooth Game.
Neither Harrison nor Cleveland can
be chosen in the electoral college. This
means that the election will be thrown
into the house of representatives and
Mr.. Cleveland's election will follow
inevitably. The r epubiicans are as
helpless as the Populists as far as re-
suits are concerned, and we can bring
them to terms. These terms will be
that they must vote for Senator Teller
or Senator Stewart. These gentlemen
represent Republicanism, for which we
care nothing, but for which the Repub-
lican electors care everything. They
represent also the free silver idea for
which the POpuliSts have been fighting,
and which is of paramount Importance
to them. You can depend upon it that
the trade will be made. The Repub-
licans can retain control of the govern
ment, which is their chief struggle. The
Populists will have free silver presi-
dent. and this will be victory on one
of the chief issues which they have in
jected into the campaign. The idea is
not new one. The programme has
been agreed upon for some time and
awaited only the contingency of fail
ure to secure votes enough by either of
the old parties to elect its ticket. That
contingency has arisen. and must be
obvious to every one, and the next pres
ident will be one of the gentlemen
named.

All THERE, ILLINOIS!
The Prairie state Has Some DEM
ocratic Symptoms.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-The close of the
present campaign witnesses tor the first
time an uncertainty as to where the
Prairie state will be found after Tues
days balloting. While the Republic
ans will not admit the doubt, the Dem
ocrats have been making a most vigor-
Gus campaign and express confidence
that their work has not been in vain.
The campaign committees are confident
in their statements regarding the situa-
ton. Air. Campbell, of the Repub-
lican campaign committee, claims
that Fifer and all the Repub-
lican candidates will be elected
and the electoral vote of tue state
will be cast for Harrison. over at the
Democratic headquarters, however,
they claim that the running in the in
terror of the state will be almost even,
and Cook county will decide the case
in favor Of the Democrats. Fifteen
thousand is the majority claimed by
each side. The Republicans are likely

their reports on the situation as they

These estimates tally closely with the
reports received by the state central
committee, and may, therefore, be cOn-

There are no stragglerS in the ranks of
Democracy this year.
There are reasons for this marked
deSertion from party that has been in
power for third of a century. The
people of Minnesota have been gradu-

The wonder Is not that there have been

But the people, while slow to move
