MAINE.

A Plurality of $4,000 or $4,000 for Har-
rison Is Predicted.
PORTLAND, ME-. Nov. 5.-The cam
paign in Maine, having been practically
settled by the September election, has been
quite dull since that time. The Repub-
lican plurality in September was 12,4l2,
and may fairly be expected to reach the
same figures or little larger ones In No
vember In 1888 the Republican plurality
for Governor was 1905 and for President
2S,25S.
A secret movement might bring out q
full Democratic vote in November, but it
could scarcely be effected without warning
their antagonists and bringing them out
also, so Maine may be considered as good
for 10000 or 1900 Republican plurality,
against %, 900 in 1888.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-The people of
Pennsylvania will on Tuesday begin their
first opportunity of testing the so-called
Australian system of voting. The bill max
ing the change in the polling system was en-
acted at the last session of the Legislature.

York, New Jersey and pure Australian
systems, and is very complicated A ballot

booths have been constructed for the &C.

Republicans Have a Decided Advantage
Over Their Opponents.
DEs MONIES, la, Nov. 6-General in
terest in Iowa this year has been less than
for many years past, no Governor being
elected next Tuesday, and State issues
being naturally subordinated to
great national questions. This fact
gives the Republicans q significant
advantage in the Hawkeye State, and the
Democrats are usually frank enough to ad-
init that in State, which for 80 years has
given Republican majorities every Presi-
dental election ranging from 1900 to
5000, the chances favor the Republican
party, although some of the Democrats still
maintain confidence.
The Democrats concede that they will
probably lose several Congressional dis
tricss in Iowa this year which they captured
two years ago.

No Republican Ticket in the Field the Pres
ent Campaign.
JAcKsoNvrLLE, FLA, Nov. 6.-Florida
elects on November two Representatives
in the Fitty-third Congress and four cleo
tors for President and Vice President Of
the United States.
The only parties having Preside ntal
tickets in the field are the Democratic and
the Peoples party, the Republicans having
declined to make nominations this year.
1t is doubtful if the majority for the
Cleveland electors will be over 1900 or
$4,000.

Twelve Electoral Votes Confidently Claimed
by Both Parties.
MADISON, WIS, Nov. 5-The brilliant
victory of Governor Peck, in this State
two years ago, is admitted even By the
Democrats to have been almost entirely due
to the preponderance of a State issue, and
the chief question this year is, now that the
Bennett parochial school law is no longer
an issue, whether the Lutheran voters can
be held by the Democratic party.
Under the new apportionment Wisconsin
is entitled to ten Congressman. The Re-
publicans claim eight of these and concede
the Democrats two. The Democrats, bv q
strange coincidence, also claim eight and
concede the Republicans two. The hetero-
geneous elements entering the national con-
tests indicate that the Congressional vote
will be about equally divided.

OREGON.

Republicans Claim They Will Have All of
the States Electors.
PORTLAND, ORE. Nov. 5-Oregon will
vote on Tuesday for President and Vice
President only. The attempted fusion of
the Democrats with the Peoples
party within the past week
has caused the Republicans to
exert themselves to bring out full vote.
They claim they will have plurality of at
least 10, 900 in the State, and that they will
elect all four electors, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Democrats have withdrawn
one of their electors and substituted one of
the Peoples party.
The Democrats do not expect to carry the
State, but say they are certain to elect
Pierce, the Populist elector, whom they
have indorsed. The Peoples party vote, it
is believed, will reach $4,000 in the State.

COMPLEXION OF THE NEXT CONGRESS-
rBY ASSOCIATED PRESS. ]

NEW YORK, Nov. 5-The Presidential
election of 1892 is unique in being the first
since the war in which so many doubtful
States were admittedly at issue between the
great political parties. It is also unique in
being the first in which it is conceded by all
parties that the electoral votes of the nation
will be divided among three great political
organizations. Three candidates will GER
tainly be balloted for in the electoral col
lege, and to be elected to the Presidency
one of these men must receive a maj jority of
all the votes cast, or the election will be re-
ierred to the National House of Represents
tives.
The advent of the Peoples party in na-
tional politics has constituted the great ele-
ment of doubt in this Presidential contest.
The solid South of Democracy and the
solid West of Republicauism are both
menaced bv its encroachments, and of the
estimate a great interrogation point must
mark TO-DAY certain States that one or the
other Of the old political parties have in
the past been wont to claim as their politi-
cal heritage.
Fifteen States Conceded Doubtful
Each old party willingly admits that the
Peoples party or fusion ticket will triumph
in some of the States. If to this list are
added the oiG-time doubtful States of New
York. Indiana, Connecticut Montana and
West Virginia, the doubtful States in this
election aggregate no less than Is in num-
ber.
The electoral college this year will
consist of 444 members. These 444 elec-
toraI votes will be divided, according to the
recent apportionment by Congress, among
tho ,-arious ~ ateS &c fnIlous.

not considered doubtful The Republicans
claim the choice of the Harrison electors
by plurality Of not less than 20, 900 votes.
They think the total vote will reach 1885,

ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 6-The heavy ma
jority received by the Democratic State
ticket last month, which was more than
70, 900, insures the election of the Democratic
electoral ticket, though it is probable that
the majority will be someweat smaller than
that received by the Democratic State
ticket, which received the votes of many
negroes in the absence of a Republican
State ticket ...
The negroes, who compose IS per cent of

as usual for the Republican ticket. All
parties concede that the Democratic cleo
toral ticket will succeed, and conserva-
tive estimate places the maj ority at about
$4,000.

A Southern State in Which the situation In
Styled Complex.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Nov. 6-The poll
tical situation in Alabama is very complex.
Tuesdays election will be strictly confined
to the choice of Presidential electors and
Representatives In Congress. The point of
interest to be disclosed by the vote is the
extent of the disafection in the Democratic
party caused by the attitude of the Alli-
ance.
The Republicans still have full ticket
of Presidential electors and Congressional
candidates, and the Prohibition party al
though cutting little or no figure in the can
vass, has also made few nominations to
retain the form of organization.

TOPEKA, KAN, Nov 6-Kausas enjoys
the distinction this year, for the first time
in its history, of being doubtful state-at
least SO far as the national, Congressional
and Legislative contests are concerned. OF
course the Republicans do not admit this,
but their extraordinary activity in the CAM
paign and their reticence concerning the
true condition of affairs, give evidence Of
their nervous apprehension.
Fusion of the Democrats and Peoples
party has brought about this doubtful con-
dition in Kansas. -Four years ago Kansas

but the Republican State Committee ex-
presses the greatest confidence in carrying
the State for electors, Congressman and

New YORK. Jan. 13-The event OF the day
in financial circles today was the announce
ment OF further issue of 81, 100000 new
stock by the Sugar Refineries company. The
stock market responded to this fnteilieence
by material decline all around, and a mum.
Der of bulls who have sold out, and who
have been since working for lower prices in
the market, took advantage of the announce
ment, and sold stocks all along the line with
considerable effect.
The market OH the whole displayed a yery
satisfactory temper. ana, except when pres
sure for fall was exerted, the tendency was
steadily to rise under liberal purchases bv
commission and foreign houses while there
was a much better distributed business than
we have seen for some time. Northern Pa
clflc preferred, however, was subjected to
pressure from the opening, and further weak
ness in the lndustrials helped to restrain The
upward tendency il the general list, though
there was special strength here and there in
spots. The Kansas d Texas stocks were in
stances, but few others followed them.
New England and the West Point stocks
were prominent in the forenoon. and North
western later in the day, but, notwIths.and-
ing the strong opening, their advances were
not sufficient TO resist the influence of the
depression caused by the Sugar announce
Northern Pacific and the industrials showed
any marked weakness, and few stocks
even scored slight gains for the day.
The close. however. was heavy, after par
X,
ing active and near the lowest figures. The
losses of note were only three: Sugar. IN
Chicago Gas, 14s, and Northern Pacific pre-
ferred, 13s.
The Post says: 1t seems that there has
been some discomfort among the bear
traders at the harmonious character of the
Western Traffic associations meeting. WHY
anything else than harmony should have
been expected it is difficult to imagine. No
body ever witnessed railroad war In the
face of such traffic and such stock market
as we have today. Railroad companies do
not quarrel over business when there is bust
ness more than enough for ALL nor do the
