PROSPECTS ARE GOOD.
CONGRESSMAN WM. l.. WILSON
TALKS.
DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS IN vIR.
GINA AND WEST VIRGINIA
ARE BRIGHT.

WASHINGTON, Aug. H.--Congress-
man W. L. Wilson will remain in
Washington for short time to get a
much-needed rest after the long aud
trying session Of the Heuse. He said
to correspondent to-day about the
outlook as to West Virginia:
'.The State ordinarily is close, with
the advantages slightly in favor Of the
Democrats. But this year promises to
be an unusually good year for the De-
mocracy there. This was made appar-
ent by the spirited contests at the
State Convention for the places ON the
State ticket. That is an infallible sign
of strong party confidence. While the
nominations are much sought after
there need be no doubt that success at
the polls seems assured.
| 'sOn the other hand when the noni-
nations go begging, or what is the same
thing, when the leading men of party
are seen declining to represent it in a
race the rank and file are never buoy
ant.
| 1.-The Democratic Convention was
the largest in the history Of the State
and the ticket nominated is excellent
throughout. Still, bright as the pros
poets of success are, the Democrats are
preparing for vigorous campaign.
Every exertion will be put forth to
make assurance doubly sure
| Mr.. Wilson, whose district is very
close, will take the stump in Septem
Der. The hope Of the Democratic
Headers in other States is that he may
mot find it necessary to spend his whole
| time at home. He is one Of the bright
est men and best speakers in the coun
TRY, and the desire to hear him is gen
eral throughout the country.
| Turning from West Virginia, Demo
cratic prospects seem equally prosnis
ling in Old Virginia. In 1888 TIL
Democratic majority in the Old Domin
ion was small. But that year the Re
publicans were united and Gen. Ma
hone was unusually active. This yea
Malone seems to be in the dumps. H
opposed the Presidents renominatio
at Minneapolis, and he returned fror
the convention not only beaten, bu
thoroughly disguised. Nothing has a
yet been done by him or any of hi
followers looking to the waging of a
earnest campaign this fall.
He has called a meeting of th
State Committee. which he control.
and there will be an outward sign {
an earnest conference, but the feelin
is abroad among the Republicans i
the State that Malone takes little il
Iterest in the situation and would nc
turn his hand ever to influence the n
suit.
There is small element of til
: party in Virginia which chafes undo
/ Mahone's domination, and with an OF
l portunity might take the field actiyel
and earnestly for the national tickle
! but Malone has possession of tn
7 party machinery, and without his &,
operation, and especially against hi
secret opposition, no. appreciable heac
7 way could be made.

THEY WILL NOT COME.

G. p. HERRING.

/ FhsatOn Plny sacred.
Her johannes Lang, the mayor Of
Oberammergau, has sent to the Ger
man press the following proclamation
~ hereby declare that the report pub.
lished in several papers, according to
which the people Of 0berammergau, or
part of them, have resolved to go to
Chicago in order to produce the Pas
sion Play there il entirely false, More
than two hundred and fifty years ago
our ancestors solemly pledged them
selves to produce the Passion Play
every ten years in grateful remem-
brance Of their having been spared
from the pest then raging, and this
vow was always faithfully kept by us.
Nothing is further from our thoughts
than instituting productions of the
Passion Play besides those given
every ten years; neither do we deem
it proper 20 travel as actors or to make
a profession Of our sacred play. In
the interest Of truth we beg you to
give this, our disayowal, the largest
possible circulation.
"JoAENAs LANG, Mayor,
"Oberammergau, july 20, 1892.
So unless the Chicagoans get up
spurious representation the public
sense Of decency will not be scandaliz-
ed by show Of the passion and the
crucifixion.
Had these wood caryers Of Oberam-
mergau consented to come to Chicago
and enacted their play there for the
greed of gold it would never again
have been the same solemn, impressive
spectacle in their home among the hills.
The very significance Of the vow they
have kept for two hundred and fifty
years would have been destroyed for
ever.

The Democratic Managers Confident ol
 Winning a Great Victory.
 NEW YORK, Nov 7.-The democratic victory confidently anticipated last week is certain now. The republicans have made their last desperate effort, and told their last campaign lie." The resources of Justification have been ex- hausted, and their promised grand closing sensation has failed to appear, New Jersey are absolutely safe.
 From Alabama State Chairman Shelly telegraphs " Give yourself nc concern whatever about Alabama. We have won. Majority will be consider able, beyond all doubt"
 South Dakota advices show that Harrison will lose that state as well as North Dakota. In Colorado the republicans confess defeat by resort to the tactics of despair.
 The New York election will be peace able and unsensational and full demo- cratic vote will be cast without impedi- ment. This is assured by the firm, con- fident and moderate course of the state and local authorities, who meet republi- can buster and intimidation with calm reason and law. Davenport and his colleagues realize that their program has fallen through and that the effect of their intimidation will be to increase the Cleveland vote.
 The democratic national committee now counts with perfect confidence up on at least PA electoral votes for Cleve- land while Harrisson's electoral vote will not exceed 165. The above calcula- tion does not include electoral votes for Cleveland and Stevenson, for which the national headquarters confidently look to, in the northwest and Pacific coasts. Don M. Dickinson, chairman of the democratic national campaign con- mittee says: ''We have fought good fight, we have kept the fort and we will win"

JOHN MORIARTY'S LOSS.
His Furniture Warerooms Badly Gutted
 by Fire Last Evening.

His Furniture warerooms Badly Gutted
 by Fire Last Evening.
 H. B. Kirk, while passing the Water bury Furniture store on South Main street about 6:30 last evening noticed what seemed a very bright light in the northwest corner of the building. A second look convinced him that the building was on fire and he informed Officer Smith, who immediately sent in a call from box 3S. In a couple of min- utes stream was playing from No 2's hose attached to a hydrant on Jefferson street. No and the Monitors were but a short time in getting water on the fire also, from Canal and Bank streets re- spectively.
 The fire was found to be in the carpet department in the basement, and to the rear of the Grand street building. The flames shot out in the opening of the South Main street building and up the elevator shaft which proved to be a powerful flue. Chief Snagg grasped the situation at once and directed all efforts to putting out the fire at the base. Then with fire extinguishers the men went to the upper floors, fighting the fiend as they ascended. The course is highly commended as much of the damage which the water would do was averted. The damage to the building is confined to the vicinity of Ithe elevator and the stairs. The stock is almost entirely ruined except in the casket department. Every mirror is ruined or broken. The wall pictures are the same. The plush goods are scorched, wet and smoked. On the fourth floor, the chairs which hung from the ceiling looked as if made of charcoal, and not a single piece of furniture escaped without being at least blistered or warped. The loss is estimated to reach the neighbor- hood of $15,000
 The origin of the fire is yet unknown There are theories that an overloaded stove might have caused it, and a defec- tive fiue is thought by others to be the cause. Two of MT Moriarty' 8 employees, Messrs Sulliven and Crane, were in the store about 6 o'clock and noticed nothing unusual.
 While some of No men were on top of the building ot cupied by NJ. J. Cooney as a saloon an accident occurred to George J. Horton. He stood on twenty foot ladder holding the pipe and when the water was turned on the force threw him from the ladder, and down back of the saloon building. "a distance of about thirty five feet. His right ankle and left wrist were sprained and his nose split. He was taken to Dr Frost's office where his wounds were dressed and three stitches placed in the cut on the nose. The firemen are highly praised for the rare good judgment exercised and the manner in which they worked.
 The books and papers of the office were saved through the exertions of Messrs Sullivan, E. L. Maloney, J. c. Thompson and J. s. Fay.
