Republicans who are ON departmental pay
| rolls have eithe- gone home to vote or are
getting ready 70 depart They are not making
much fuss in their movements, but they are
going north and south and east and wcst in
greater numbers than ever before. Nearly ell
the more prominent men have been In the field
some time since and these are they who have
stirred up their tagging brethren at the national
Capital. The Macedonian cry is ringing in every
car and responsive people and pocket books
have made their appearance by the thousand.
Democrats, too, are going home to vote or are
contributing toward their campaign fund, but
none Of the democrats in Office are saying
much about the effort either he or any one else is
putting forth Leading democratic officials
went home shortly after March 4, 1889, and
have not vet returned

doing all 1t can to further party success. Our
EFFORTS this time are directed especially to the
fifth and sixth Maryland districts We are
anxious to re-elect Compton and McKaig, and
believe we shall succeed. For other districts
we are doing nothing; all the democratic candi-
dates except the two 1 have named have q sure
thing. Wherever it is necessary to furnish
transportation we are doing it, wrote Mckaig
day or two ago that were doing all we
could to get him cash and votes. They are
what he needs"
SENDING DEMOCRATS HonE.
Active measures are being adopted to get the
democratic voters resident in the District to
their homes in time to cast their votes next
week The state associations have committees
organized, not only to stimulate an interest on
the part of those who have the right to vote,
but also to provide ways and means for sending
the voters to their homes. Arrangements have
been made with the various railroad companies
for reduced rates and in some cases, where
voters do not feel able to pay their own way,
the tickets are supplied. A committee of the
Columbia Democratic Club, of which Capt.
John Miller is chairman. has special charge Of
the arrangements for sending voters to their
homes and this committee is working in cooper
alton with the state associations.
Capt. Miller stated this morning to Q STAR
man that he estimated that at least 5000 demo-
cratic voters from this District would cast
| their votes in the various states next week.
OF this number he thought that at least 5000
were voters in the states of Virginia, Maryland
and West Virginia. The balance is divided up
among the other states. The democratic vote
| OF the District he thought would be brought
out as fully at the present election was the
| case four years ago. At that time there were
more democrats living here than ct present
owing to the number occupying government
positions whose places have since been filed
with republicans. On the other hand great
many democrats were disgruntled four years
ago and did not go home to vote. This time,
however. the democrats are united and enthu-
slastc and for this reason the actual loss in the
number owing to the change in the admins
tration will be fully made up by the going to
the polls of men who stayed away four years
ago.
OFF FOR ILLINOIS.
Quite large crowd of republicans has de-
parted for Illinois. First Controller Matthews
Capt Meredith and Supervising Architect Ed
brooke are doing their quota Of stumping. In
all at least two hundred republican voters will
journey from Washington to the sucker state
for the purpose of laying Mr.. AHgeld out cold
and stiff
5 NEW HAMPSHIRE MEN GOING HOME.
'New Hampshire will. as usual go republic
can, said Gen. Patterson to a STAR reporter
today. 1--WE republicans who reside here
| temporarily will help the result along. for we
are all going home to vote. There are seventy
of us. Last election only ten went home. Oh
we're sure to WIN. The Australian ballot
| system which is to be operated for the first
time, may upset some OF the figures, but one
side will probably be affected just as much as
| the other. We shall elect a republican gov
| ernor and ought to pull the Congressman
| through, too. Bair2 He ought to get there
He has a thousand to overcome, but If the vote
is anything like as heavy as it usually is in presi
dental elections he can come out on top"
%. THE KEYSTONE REPUBLICANS.
"There is no effort being made to have Penn
sylvanians SO home to VOTE said Capt. Co
baugh this afternoon, but fully 500 are going
anyhow, and about 200 of these are Ph,iadei-
phians. We have nothing to worry over; the
| state is perfectly safe. No; are not send
| ing any men to their homes: we can put the
| money to better use. 1t would cost IS to send
| a voter to Pittsburg, and instead of doing that
We can send two New Workers to New York
where votes will count
| OHIO AND NEW YORK.
Everything is all right in Ohio" said Col
Dan. Grosvenor, "but we are going to ciinch
the business by moving out of Washington at
least 400 strong. There may be az many As 100
more: in fact. / think there will be-
| Altogether the New York Republican Associa-
| ton has issued transportation certificates to
| more than GOO men who will next week cast
their ballots in the empire state. How many
more are going is not yet known but the
chances are that not one republican official
whose home is in New York will be here cleo
| ton day.
HOLSTERS HoMEwARD BOUND.

town by Saturday night. says Capt. Leonard of
