FROM THREE STATES.

Good News of New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut Republicans.
NEW York, October %. = Colonel
James Kemple of West Virginia, who
has been campaigning in New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, says he feels
that Connecticut will give her electoral
vote for Harrison and Reid. In New
York, during the past two weeks, he has
found general activity all along the line
He has found there are more Irish-Amer-
leans in favor of Harrison in New York
city than four and eight years ago, when
he assisted in organizing Irish-Amerlcan
clubs and, as whole, the campaign here
is better organized and in better shape
than in either of the previous campaigns
In New Jersey the Republicans are maxi
ing an active and aggressive fight, which
will surely elect Kean for governor, with
chance of the electoral vote going to
Harrison. From his own state, Mr..
Kemple has received most cheering news
through his correspondence. He is con-
fident West Virginia will go Republican,
and is assured the vote will be honestly
counted.

The Calamity Appalling.

CAGLIARI. October GA most appall-
ing calamity has befallen the village of
San Sperate, situated short distance
from this city. 1t is estimated that not
less than two hundred villagers were
drowned. The flood swept through the
village with sudden fury and in mo-
ment the streets became rivers that
carried everything before them; houses
were lifted from their foundations and
carried whirling down by the flood. The
occupants did not have an opportunity to
attempt to save themselves; many of
them were asleep when the torrent
carried off their houses and were awak7
ened only to find themselves struggling
in the water. Men, women and children
were drowned and not a single effort
could be made to save them, so sudden
was the disaster. Half the houses in the
village were swept away. The place is
isolated by the Hood and access to it
very difficult.

He says that the contest will be very
close, but he expectsHarrison to win on a
local issue of taxes, caused by the action
of the Democrats, in so rearranging
the tax levy that a greater burden now
falls upon the farmers, who, Mr. Manley
thinks, will in consequence vote for Har-
rison.
Franklin Murphy. chairman of the Re-
publican state committee of New Jersey,
speaks confidently of the election of the
Republican candidate for governor, John
Kean, Jr., but has not SO much to say of
the success of the Republican national
ticket.
Senator Orville IL. Platt of Connecticut
claims that state for Harrison. and the
state chairmen of Wisconsin and West
Virginia are equally confident.
The utterances of Mr.. Carter and Mr..
Brookfield are couched in careful Ian
guage, and they make no secret of their I
opinion that the fight in the nation, and
in New York state particularly, will be
close.

Cheerful.
New York, October 23.-"We shall
carry Virginia for Harrison and Reid, if
the plan now being worked out there by
loyal Republicans goes on until election
day. said Prof. John M. Langston of
Virginia, last night in an uptown hotel.
s'There are three districts in the state
where we will elect Republican Congress
men. They are the Second, Fourth and
Ninth. The Republican nominees are
Bowden, Gillian and Wood. There are
three or four districts-notably the First
where the Peoples party candidates
can be elected with the help of the Re
publican votes, and in them we are going
to vote in that way, because it will de-
feat the Democrates, besides demoraliz-
ing them. The Democrats will only get
four congressman and the opposition
six. Under this friendly relation the
Peoples Party has put an

number of white voters-solid business
men. 1t will draw many votes away
from the Democrats, possibly some from
us. The advantage will be largely ours.
The great feature is the fact that it will
be a movement of whites, and will re-
ceive votes in every county in the state,
and scattered through all the voting
places. That means that the Democrats,
even under their infamous Anderson
Mccormick election law, cannot cheat
us on the count. There will be more
Republican votes cast than Democratic.
The Peoples party will stand third, but
as we will help them to at least three
Congressmen, they will see that we get
fair count on the electoral ticket.
The Democrats cannot count lis out as
they did in 1888. They gave Cleveland

1.-THE reason the Democrats must count
straight with a third party in the field is
because their courts dare not reject the
testimony of white men, whatever they
may do with colored men, and the white

publican party in Virginia are going to

Situation.


Situation.
NEW YORK, October 22.-The Com
mercial Advertiser publishes a review
this afternoon of the Republican situa-
ton throughout the country, and espec-
tally in the doubtful states, by the ma
tional and state leaders.
Chairman Carter of the Republican ma
tional committee refers to the quietness
of the campaign, attributes it to the
careful study on the part of the people
of the issue at stake, and from that
draws the conclusion that the vote for
Harrison will be very full, and That he
will be elected.
New York state politics are covered by
Chairman Brookfeld of the Republican
state committee and Chairman Hackett
of the New York state executive commit
tee.
Both express confidence in Republi-
can success, in the empire state, and give
as reason the great efforts that have
been made to get out the entire Republi-
can vote on the registration days and the
constant attention that has been given to
voters.
A significant dispatch was sent by R.
A. Mosley, chairman of the Republican
state committee of Alabama, who has
lust received the Endorsement of the Re-
publican national committee.
Mr. Mosley, while saying that there is
no Republican ticket before the Alabama
people claims that theLakeview electoral
ticket, which has been put up by the
Jeffersonian or Kolb branch of the De-
mocracy, will be elected by genuine
plurality of $4,000.
He estimates Democratic frauds at
$4,000, and thinks it certain that the IL
electoral votes of the state will be cast
for Harrison.

A Night of Suspense When Death Was Ex-
pected at Any Minute-Mrs. Harrison
As Weak AS Possible For Her To Be
And Live-Yet She Was Perfectly con-
scious.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October 23.-Dr.
Gardner visited the White House about
5 o'clock this afternoon, making the
fourth time he had seen Mrs. Harrison
during the day. After his visit, he stated
that Mrs. Harrison was in state ofex-
treme exhaustion, and unless she could
rally from it, was apt to pass away with.
in few hours. In his opinion, she was
now as weak as she possibly could be
and live. She passed very restless
night, generally becoming weaker and
weaker. She had displayed remarkable
vitality throughout and nearly reached
the limit of her endurance.
In reply to direct question on that
point, DIR. Gardner said that Mrs. Har-
rison might pass away at any time with
in a few hours, and might linger in her
present condition forty-eight hours.
While he did not exactly say so, he inti-
mated plainly that he feared the end
would come before morning. AT $50,
Mrs. Harrison was much weaker.
WASHINGTON, s p. m.-Dr. Gardner
came to the White House shortly after
and remained about half an hour.
When he came down stairs he said Mrs.
Harrison's condition was so critical that
she might pass away at any time.
WASHINGTON, 10 p. m.-Dr Gardner,
up to this hour, had paid six visits to
the sick room, and each time could give
no word of encouragement to the anxious
family. The history of the day, as gath
cred from the report of the doctor, is one
of such steady and rapidly decline of the
little remaining strength of his patient
that it would seem that the utmost limit
of weakness, co-existent with life, had
been reached. Mrs. Harrison's condition
tonight is so critical that her physician
and family fear that tomorrows sun may
not shine for her.

STILL cLuNG TO LIFE,
Late In the Evening DR.. Gardner Thought
Mrs. Harrison Would Survive the Night.


Mrs. Harrison Would Survive the Night.
WASHINGTON, October 23 - At 10
o'clock, DR. Gardner made another visit
to the White House and remained half
an hour. When leaving the House, he
said Mrs. Harrison was res ting quietly
and he did not think she would die to-
night. There was still evidence in the
case of Mrs. Harrison's wonderful vitali-
ty, for the doctor said that althought
the patient was a grain weaker han when
he last saw her, she was stronger than
he expected to find her. Mrs. Harrison
suffered from nervousness during the
day and this helped to bring about ex-
haustion, fastening the decline in pro-
gress all day. She sleeps about half an
hour at time and takes very little nour-
ishment now. This is restricted to
little peptonized beef with stimvlant.
So weak and helpless has Mrs. Harrison
become that she has no longer strength
enough to cough. She is perfectly con-
scious. DR.. Gardner, at the end of this
visit, notified the President and mem
bers of his household of the exceedingly
precarious condition of Mrs. Harrison.
He said he would not call again during
the night unless summoned by informa-
ton of a change IN her present condition.
WASHINGTON, October "a, 1890 pc m.
Mrs. Harrison is resting quietly and
there is no change in her condition from
previous reports The President and
his family circle, fearful of the worst,
are sitting up with the invalid.

Mrs. Harrison is slowly sinking. 1t is
feared she will not live out the night.
There are signs that the end is getting
very near.
