eaiu quite as mnca In earnest
as in jest, that if John Kean did not part
| be Gov. Abbett's successor in the executive
| chamber. The posting OF lthograph
| portraits on all the dead walls of the state
has given a new direction to the discussion
| concerning his candidacY. II the estimates
made be reliable, Judge Werts seems
destined to win and his ultimate majority
will represent the element which Kean will
have inconsiderately sacrificed to a too
ostentatious exhibition Of his hair splitting
idtosyncrasy. In the congressional districts
only two candidates are considered as hav-
ing doubtful chances-COrnish and Dunn.
If both are beaten the next delegation in
congress will stand four each as between
the parties.
NO DANGER OF ARKANSAS.
The campaign closed in Arkansas last
night. Ex-United States Senator J w.
Walker of Fayetteville said that the Fifth
district, in which Hugh A. Dinsmore. dem.
is opposed by E. Bryan. populist, win 20
democratic from Is, 900 to 20, 900 majority
This is the district where the opposition has
conferred all its forces. j. B. Sutler, Col.
Thomas Fletcher and other populist leaders
virtually concede the entire state to the
democrats.
They say that the party will carry It by
not more than 10000 and predict winning it
for the Peoples party four years from now.
All the indications now point TO the com-
plete success of the Democratic party in
Delaware.
ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN.
Illinois will probably CAST its electoral
vote for Harrison and Reid, but the repub-
lican plurality Of 22, 900 in 1888 will be con
race is very close. Mr.. AltReld
the democratic candidate, will probably
be elected over Gov. Fifer by small
plurality. The election hangs on the vote
OF Chicago There has been an increase in
the registration in that city over four years
ago of 100000. Mr.. Altgeld will run con-
siderably ahead OF the national ticket. The
new state legislature will probably be
republican in the lower branch and demo-
cratic in the upper. On Joint ballot it will
probably be democratic by small ma iority.
CLOSE FIGHT IN KANSAS.
Never before have the republicans Of
Kansas been compelled 30 fight for exist
ence. Two years ago the strength of the
opposition was not realized. This year thev
have most perfect organization. A poll
OF the state, however, shows considerable
republican gain and corresponding popu-
list loss, and for the first time indicates a
majority for the Harrison electoral ticket.
The populist poll and reports confirmed the
claims OF the republicans, although the lat
ter gave that party greater vote than its
own agents.
WISCONSIN, PROBABLY REPUBLICAN,.
Wisconsin is a doubtful state. Both par
ties claim it tonight. but neither claim
more than 10000 majority. The chances
are that the republicans will carry it, but
they are very much frightened The demo
Gratis rest their hope of success on the com
pulsory school law iscnes on which thez
won two years ago, which the republicans
have now abandoned, and on the growth of
the tariff reform sentiment among the far.
msrs OF the southern part Of Wisconsin.
IOWA DEMOCRATIC.
Iowa next Tuesday will choose thirtesn
presidential electors and the following state
officers: Secretary OF state, auditor. treas
urer, attorney general and one railroad
commissioner A careful computation az
the probable vote shows plurality for the
democratic electors of at least Z. 900 The
democratic gains will come from the rural
districts, where the tariff question has been
the foremost issue. A heavy rain storm pre-
walls over the state with the prospects of
continuing beyond Tuesday, in which event
the vote viii be considerably reduced.
NEBRASKA FOR WEAVER.
There are three electoral tickets In the
field in Nebraska. but the democrats have
abandoned theirs to all iutents and will vote
for the Weaver electors In order to teIe
the state from President Harrison and the
elections promise to be close
with the odds favoring the populists. But
the chances all favor Crounse rep. for gov
rrnor, with the state ticket republican. The
legislature will be 40 per cent. populist. IS
per cent. democratic and 95 per cent. repub-
lican, thus insuring the defeat of anv re-
fpv h. Gkot
populists hope to eleot G. II. Van Wyck to
the Senate.
Those who are usually best informed on
Idaho politics estimate the majority. for the
Weaver ticket at from TOO to 10000. The
republicans will elect their governor. state
treasurer and auditor; and the democrats
ths secretary of state and attorney general
The state is badly gerrymandered for the
legislature, but 10 is believed thar the
democrats and populists together will obtain
a majority.
The republicans claim North Dakota nv
from l 800 to 1900, but giving all claims
fair consideration and making a oonserva-
tive estimate. the state will elect the
Weaver electors by small majority. The
democratic committee claim the election Of
one congressman by plurality Of from
2 900 to 5000. Even the republicans thern-
selves ooncede the legislature to bs snti-re.
publican.
OREGON'S VOTE.
1t now seems probable that Oregon will
send Co the electoral college three votes for
Harrison and one for Weaver. The at
tempted fusion has disunited the Democratic
party. The republican state committee be-
lieves that all dissension in the party has
been removed and claims the election of ali
four electors.
The Colorado state ticket, In the best in
formed circles, is conceded TO the repub-
licaus. The republicans assert that the with
drawal of the democratic electors IA favor
of the Weaver electors has added strength
to the republican ticket and has had the
effect of bringing back TO the party the re-
publicans who had joined hands with the
democrats In aid of Gen. Weaver. The
democrats will probably gain one congress-
man.
While the democrats Of California have
not given up hopes of carrying the state for
Mr.. Cleveland the Indications point 10
majority for President Harrison of about
1,500. The Peoples party men in the lepis4
lature would undoubtedly vote with the
democrats for senator, as the entire Weaver
element in the state is fighting.
THE RESULT SUMMED UP.
The Times prints a table showing how
the votes in the electoral college will stand
This table gives Cleveland 226, Harrison
1S0, and classihes % as doubtful votes, from
