FEATURES OF THE CAMPAIGN.

Vermont and Maine VIII Be Lively for .
Week OF Two-Rainbow Claims Of Peo-
pis's Party Leadsrs-some Inserestinx
and Peculiar Political Situations.
ONE week from Tuesday occurs the first
State election in the North since the Presi-
dental nominations. Vermont will then
choose Governor and other State officers.
Until within the last few days the campaign
has not been OF an exciting description, but
now the Republicans are working with
energy to secure majority which by its
proportions will point to a sweeping victory
November. The statement is made that
the Democrats have been carrying on a still
hunt in the Green Mountain State with the
expectation of reducing the usually over
whelmfng Republican figures, and then
claiming the result as indicating decided
gain for the cause of free trade. The an
nounced purpose of the advocates of pro-
lection to make the last week of the CAM
paign one of earnest, aggressive work will
force the Democrats to contest in the open
field, feature which the Republican leaders
of the State claim will insure a majority not
far from 5000.
Six days after the Vermont election, on
Monday, September 13, Maine will speak.
The Governor and other State officers are to
be chosen, together with legislators and four
Congressman. Ex-Speaker Reed Is already
on the stump with Boutelle and other Pine
Tree orators. Mckinley is to be one of a
party of visiting statesmen who Will partici-
pate in the closing work of the canvass. 1t
is uncertain yet whether Mr.. Blaine will be
able to take the platform, but the expecta-
tion is that his voice will be heard before
the day for voting. Such an event will
make the Maine campaign always of i'm
portance in q Presidential year, most inter-
esting preliminary to the November con-
test. The State and Congressional struggles
are being conducted almost entirely on
issues, although the prohibition

will choose a successor to Senator Hale,
whose term expires March next. A num-
Der of Republican statesmen are more than
willing to take the place, though the Senator
is a candidate for reelection. The modified

time

Rainbow Claims of the Now Party.

N. A. DUNNING, of Washington, one of
the most active organizers of the Peoples
party, in defining the plans and pros
poets of that party the other day said: "To
my mind there is absolutely no doubt that
our electoral ticket will be chosen in Col
orndo and Nevada, and look for similar re-
suits in the other silver states. honestly
believe that in Colorado General
Weaver will receive more votes than Har-
rison and Cleveland combined. The up
rising in that State is practically universal.
The old parties cannot get enough people
together to hold their regular county con-
ventions. The Democratic organization is
practically abandoned, only q few of the
old-timers making even q pretense of sup
porting the Chicago nominee and platform.
Such Republican leaders as Senator VOL
colt and Teller, while not openly supporting
Weaver, are taking particular pains to give
neither aid nor support to Harrison. The
situation in Nevada Is almost identical.
SIN Kansas, too, we expect great results"
continued the sanguine Populite leader.
ga few months ago many OF US were q little
afraid that the vote secured in an on year
would not stand the test OF a Presidential
contest This idea has been almost entirely
dissipated. Our reports indicate no back
sliding in any direction. Senator PETER.
Congressman Simpson and host OF other
local and visiting speakers are already
vigorously campaigning in Kansas. The
Democrats will vote for our electors, and in
some cases the Congressional and county
tickets are the same 1t can hardly be called
fusion, though, for the reason that our Or
ganization has absorbed the Democrats.
The struggle in Kansas is between Weaver
and Harrison.
'In the South the case is just reversed.
In Alabama, Tennessee. Georgia, the Caro-.
linas, and even in Texas, with its 200. 900
Democratic majority Of two years ago, the
issue will be between Weaver and Cleve-
land. In these States, according to locality,
we have eliminated either Republicanism
or Democracy, and are no longer the third
party. wish our organization were equally
advanced in the East, but while we may not
elect our candidate this year. we will take
a long stride in that direction"

The Only Danger In Ohio.

OHIO politicians are mourning the abb
sence of the lively times occasioned by the
former October elections The changing of
the State contest until November has
stopped the flow of oratory and more sub
stantial arguments in the Buckeye State in
the early fall. The Democrats have not yet
recovered from the crushing defeat admin
istered to free trade by Mckinley last fall,
and are much less vigorous in their claims
than usual. A well-posted Ohio Repub-
lican Temporarily in Pittsburg) said yes
terday:
"The only danger in our State this year is
from over-confidence and quiet campaign
on the part of the enemy. The Democrats
in Ohio usually win when everybody, in
cluding themselves, believes it is going the
other way. In 1888 Hoadly, the Democratic
nominee for Governor, gave up the contest
in disgust, and went to the seashore for his
health. Practically everybody conceded
Re publican success, and yet when the re-
turns were counJeu it was found that Hoad-
ly had beaten Foraker by 1900 votes. In
1885 the conditions were reversed. The Re-
publicans were discouraged by the change
In the national administration, and their
opponents were claiming the earth, OF least
within the Ohio boundary lines, apparently
without much opposition. But Foraker de-
feated Hoadly easily, and it was not until
1889, when the Republicans had again be-
come over-confdent by repeated success,
that Campbell surprised everybody by his
remarkable victory. Not until within few
days of the election did the Republican
managers realize their danger, and then it
was too late.
"Allen w. Thurman few days ago con-
ceded that the State would go tor Harrison
by more than 10000, and tho election of ID
Republican Congressman. The Republican
Campaign Committee, though, is thoroughly
on the alert, and no chance wilt be given the
Democrats to conduct a successful still

A Democratic fractional Quarrel.

THE struggle for the Democratic nomi-
nation in the one Democratic Congressional
district Of Philadelphia has assumed q
prominence apparently much greater than
its importance justifies. It has even gone
beyond State lines, and is being used as an
argument in the factional quarrels of the
Empire State. This is, Of course, largely
because of Chairman Harrity's interest in
the contest. The primaries will be held this
evening and there are predictions that
blows may play as powerful q part as bal
lots.
Congressman McAIeer's friends claim to
have an overwhelming majority of the
Democratic voters of the district, and pro-
fess to be only afraid of trickery on the
part OF the supporters OF Captain Ker, the
administration candidate. The matter of
the temporary Craftsmanship OF the coming
convention has been taken into court on
the principle so frequently e1emplified in
Pennsylvania politics that the side with the
chairman gets the nomination, the function
OF the majority of the delegates being Of
comparatively little consequence. McAleer
has the support Of the Irish-Americans be-
cause of his attitude on the Gallagher case,
and it Is announced that he will run in No.
vember whether he secures a denomination
or not.
The contest in this district two years ago,
it will be remembered, was between two
Democrats, McAleer and Saux, the latter
having been chosen to I'LL the vacancy
caused by the death of Randall. McAleer
candidate of the boilers. The Republicans
then took no hand in the struggle except to
utilize it for trading purposes with telling

when he went to the custodian he was told

says he could Aot see through it then.

Monday night he was one of the sup

"Turned on the light; His request
was followed, and the crowd saw the
sight of their lives. Cox was lighting
with Courtney, who wore only his trous-

white robe daubed with phosphores-
cent paints so that it showed color.

Cox had the better of it until Courtney
called "Birdie, quick" In an instant
woman darted into the room and put
