Judge Rea Defends Hi. Course.

Judge John P. Rea has given to the press
his promised statement as to his recent political
bolt While it does not directly state that
be has decided to vote for Cleveland the infer
ence from his language is strongly in that di-
rection. He opens by explaining that he was to
vote for Cleveland was made without his au-
thority or knowledge. He then discusses the
Mckinley bill, pointing out wherein he thinks
1t DEF arts from the true protection policy and
wherein 1t inures to the benefit of the monopo-
lies. He next replies to the allegations that
his conversion is due to political disappoint-
ment by declaring that his motives have been
entirely honest. After some reference to the
non political character of the G. A. r. and to
the contrast between the republican party in its
early days and now he closes with these words:
when the leaders Of that great party seek to
make our government of the people by cor
porations and for monopolies and trusts it is
time for patriotic, for Hberty-loving men to
stop and consider, if not to act have con-
scientifically done the former and on the 9Th of
November snail do the latter"

AN OHIO CIRCULAR.
II 1t Has Been Sent TO Government En- plOye

II 1t Has Been Sent to Government Employees
the Senders W i'll Be Prosecuted.
Commissioner Roosevelt Of the civil service
commission has received from An anonymous
correspondent in Ohio copies Of two circulars
sent by the Ohio republican state committee
asking for instructions. The name Of
the person to whom the circulars
were sent as we'll as his address
10 cut out. but II Is presumed from the fact
that In one Of the circulars the phrase is used,
"a number Of your associates in the public serv-
ice" that they were sent to a government
clerk. The circulars are signed by Chas. W. f.
Dick, chairman, and John K. Molloy, secretary,
and are gently urgent in the style OF appeal.
Mr.. Roosevelt says that II il is found
"that these circulars have been sent to any
government employee in any government build
ing the men sending them have violated the
law and will be prosecuted"
He expresses the hope that government en-
ployes receiving such appeals will make known
the facts to the commission, so that legal pro-
ceedings may be instituted.

AS GOOD AS REELECTED.
What Secretary Charles Foster Says Of Gen
Harrison's Chances.

HE THINKS THE REPUBLICANS WILL CARR,
EVERY NORTHERN STATE EXCEPT, POSSIBLY
NkvADA-THE THIRD PARTY MAY HOLD TIL
BALANCE OF POWER IN ooSGnEss
Secretary Charles Foster was at his desk to-
day looking well and cheerful
EARLY in the campaign" he said to a STAR
reporter, 81 gave it as my opinion that Mr..
Harrison would carry every northern state /
have since modified this prediction to the
extent of excepting Nevada The peoples
party may carry that state, but Mr.. Harri-
son will carry all the rest of the north. The
registration has practically settled the election
Mr. Harrison is as good as reelected now. He
will not lose a western state except possibly Ne
vada and will carry New York, Indiana, Con-
necticut, Delaware and, almost certainly, New
jersey"
What do you hear about New York in par
ticular?"
1.-The registration has settled that The DEM
ocrats will not get more than A 900 majority in
New York city and IL. 900 in Brooklyn and other
democratic counties. So they will not have
over GO, 600 to the Harlem river. Harrison will
come to the Harlem with $1,000. You can
figure it out for yourself in New York
city. The registration is 80 0O0 Six per cent or
$4,000 will not vote, leaving 292. 900. There
will be about 5000 scattered, leaving 2s4 900.
OF these the republicans will get l20 900 and
the democrats will get the rest. This gives
Harrison q majority of about 20, 600 in the
state.
In Indiana Mr.. Harrison will get a larger
vote than he did before and we will probably
elect five or six Congressman. As l said before
there may be little doubt about New Jersey,
though l feel quite confident that we can carry
it and We certainly going to carry Con-
necticut and Delaware. In Ohio there
will probably be the heaviest vote that was ever
majority. We will eject all but about four of
the Congressman, probably
How about West Virginia.
1--WE will carry that
"And Illinois?''
81 have no knowledge of Illinois. except what
l heard from our republican leaders during nv
stay in that state recently. They think we are
certain to carry it by large majority and
elect fourteen Congressman. The increased
registration in Chicago-something remark
able-our leaders believe is going to
benefit rather than the democrats. They
expect to carry Chicago by 5000 and to come
to Chicago with 10000 This will give us a
little more than Harrison got in 'SS. and come
fully up to our predictions made early in the
campaign
What do you think of the congressional
prospects,"
at looks as if the third party might have the
balance OF power. Mr.. Thurston expects
the republicans to elect all the Congressman
from Nebraska. ] think will elect all i'll
Iowa except one, and in Kansas we will carry
all but one of the congressional districts. The
third party, which promised to do much in
these three states, appears to have lost its
grasp"
