many things unbecoming q minister of

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Nov. THE
Chairmen of both the Democratic and Re-
publican State Central Committees were in
terviewed by the Associated Press tonight
as to the outcome of the election to-mor-
row. Herbert E. Benton, Chairman of the
Republican committee, said he expected his
party would secure q safe plurality for both
the electoral and State tickets. He looked
for the election of a Legislature which
would be Republican in both branches.
Three out of four of the Republican candi-
dates for Congress would be elected, and he
should not be at all surprised if his party
made clean sweep, insuring full Repub-
lican representation in both houses of Con-
gress at Washington.
Chairman Clinton B. Davis. of the Dem
ocratic State Committee, said he was abso-
lutely certain the Democratic electoral
ticket in this State would have plurality
of not less than 1000. Judge Norris, he
said, would poll more votes for Governor
than General Merwin, as he did two years
ago, but not sufficient number to insure
an election by the people, and that the
election of Governor would therefore be
thrown into the Legislature. The Legisla-
ture, he said, was In doubt as to its politi-
cal complexion on a joint ballot. and no
one could toretell the result. The State
Senate he was certain would be Democratic
by good working majority. The Demo-
Gratis were sure cf three Congressman out of
four, viz: Spery in the First district,
Piggott in the Second and DeForest in the
Fourth

PORTLAND, ORE. Nov. Tn accordance
with the instructions from the Democratic
National Committee the Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee to-day issued
the following circular:
DEMOCRATS OF OREaoN-Important orders
have been received from Chairman Harrity.
The election of Cleveland depends on Ore
gon going for Weaver. A Democratic vote
Tor Cleveland electors in this State is O vote
for Harrison. If you are a Democrat and
want Cleveland elected, vote for Weaver.
Special trains were dispatched early this
morning to distribute these circulars all
over the State. Chairman Murphy, of the
Democratic Committee, said this afternoon:
The Democrats and Peoples party have
a combined majority of 900 to Is. 900 over
the Republicans, and there Is no possibility
of one losing enough votes to defeat the
ticket.
The Weaver managers estimate the Re
publican vote in the State at 33 900, Demo-
cratic $1,000, Peoples party $4,000. They
assert if the Weaver electors receive 10, 900
Democratic votes their election is assured.
The Chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee expresses confidence of Republican
success in the State by 900 majority.

A Republican Plurality of 5000 to 10000

DUBUQUE, IA, Nov THE following
is from Democratic sources:
The campaign closed tonight with both
parties confident of success. Advices re-
ceived from various points indicate that the
claims of Democrats have Il moro substan-
tial foundation than those of their oppo-
nents. They give figures obtained by
poll of the State, showing suff1-
cient gains to give the State to
Cleveland by at least 5000. The Republican
managers, while claiming the State. give no
dernite figures and refuse to "ive 1nforma-
tion as to why they are confident Senator
Allison figures out 10 coo or che Republ1-
cans. A week ago he was claiming 20,OOo.
The extraordinary increase in the re2istra-
ocrats, and the activity of the Prohibition
lists Tor their ticket will take hundreds of
votes from the Republicans.
The following is from Republican sources:
On the eve of the election the advantages
in this State are with Republicans. This Is
conceded by Democrats themselves: Betting
in Des Moines has been to in favor OF
Harrison. Republicans are very confident
tonight. and the only possible danger to
them is in the chance that the vote OF the
Third party and Prohibitionists should
be unexpectedly large, which does
nol seem possible from present advices.
The total vote that will be cast is estimated
from 100000 to 900. The Democratic Com.
mittee's figures are that Cleveland's total
vote will be 225 900, the Populists 10000, Pro
hibitionists' 1000 They give Harrison only
about 208 900. They claim he cannot get
more than about 2l0 900 votes in all, which
is less than he mad years ago. Republicans
can cede Cleveland 2l5,00O, but don't believe
he will poll that manv; the Peoples party
$1,000 and the Prohibitionists from 5000 to
1000 They claim for Harrison from 22O,0J0
to N0 600.

The Republicans Claim Everything, but the

TOPEKA, KAN, Nov. THE situation
in Kansas changed slightly more in favor
of the Fusionists to-day, when Sydney G.
Cook, Democratic candidate for Congress in
the Fifth district, withdrew in favor of
John Davis, the Populist incumbent. 1t is
expected Cooks withdrawal will elect
Davis, and will also lend considerable Dem
ocratic strength to the Weaver electoral
and the State Fusion tickets. Fusion has
now been accomplished in all the districts
excepting the Sixth. Chairman Simpson,
of the Republican State Central Committee,
claims everything. He says the Repub-
licans will without doubt have a majority
OF from 10000 to 10000 on the State and
national tickets, and will elect every Con-
gressional candidate.
The Peoples party men and Fusionists are
even more confident than the Republicans
Chairman Breidenthal, of the Populist
State Central Committee, claims the cleo
tion. of Lewelling, candidate for Governor,
by a majority of at least Il, GOO, and says
that Weaver will run ahead of the State
ticket by at least 10, 900 votes. Fusion be-
tween the Populsts and Democrats has
been arranged in nearly every legislative
and Senatorial district in the State, and the
indications are that the Legislature will be
anti-Republican, although the Republicans
claim they will have a majority and will
elect Perkins to the United States Senate.

DETROIT, Nov. Both Republicans and
Democrats claim this State. Daniel j.
Campau, Chairman OF the Democratic State
Central Committee, says his party will elect
its State ticket by good majority and
more than half of the Presidential electors
and Congressman. He also hopes to have
a majority in the next Legislature, which
will elect a United States Senator to sue
ceed Francis B. Stockbridge, whose term
will expire next March. No figures are
given, however, to substantlate these
claims.
Senator Mcmillan, Chairman of the Re-
publican State Central Committee, predicts
a victory for his party in this State He
declares the State ticket will be elected by
plurality of from IA, 900 to $4,000. A ma
jorty will be had in the next Legislature,
thus making the United States Senatorship
safe for the Republicans. Chairman Nc
MILAN says that large gains will be made
in the number of Congressman elected the
last time, and eight of the Republican
electors, he thinks, are safe. 1t is asserted
by the Chairmen of the Prohibition and
Peoples committees that their respective
parties will each poll about 80, 900 votes.

Both Sides Acknowledge the Result Hangs

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. That
West Virginia is an extremely doubtful
State is acknowledged by the conservative
element in all parties. There are four
tickets in tine field, viz. Democratic Re-
publican, Prohibitionist and Populist. The
last named party has a considerable foot
hold in the State, and would have cast, 1t is
thought, 10000 to 10000, but within the
past three or four weeks numbers have
deserted their ranks and gone back to
either the Democratic or Republican
parties. The Prohibitionists will
cut no figure of any Importance in the fight
tomorrow. The great battle is between the
Democrats and Republicans, both of whom
have made q close canvass of the voting
strength in this State. So close has the
canvass been made that the Republicans
claim the State. from the electoral vote to
constable, including everything, by from
5000 to 4,400. The Democrats are both
cautious and conservative, and the State
Executive Committee. whose headquarters
are in this city, say they are confident that
the State will give its electoral vote tor
Cleveland, and that all State officers and
the Legislature will be Democratic. The
majority Will probably be 1900 to 1000
The rain to-day and tonight promises to
continue throughout tomorrow, and if it
does it is looked upon as favorable omen
for the Democrats. To-morrow's election
will be the first held under the Australian
system, and it is not known what may come
out of it, more than to make every voter
vote his ticket straight. as he will fear to
scratch it lest he make a blunder, thereby
having his ballot thrown out.
