IN MINNESOTA.
Democrats and Republicans AlilSo Claim

the State for Their Parties.
ST. PAUL, October 31-The three party
committees in Minnesota have about
rounded up their work. During this week
there will be the usual number of speeches
made throughout the State, but the com
mittees have sent out their last literature
and arranged for completing the registra-
tion in the country on Tuesday and
Wednesday,.
The Democrats have made pretty COM
plete poll Of the State outside Of the large
cities, and the Republicans have polled
here and there a county. The populists
have made no poll whatever, owing TO the
lack of funds, and content themselves with
the general claim that DOnnelly will secure
100 600 votes and be elected Governor.
Secretary Smalley, of the Democratic
committee, SAYS: "The Democrats are 60
ing to do far better than they expected at
the outset. They are going TO help the
Weaver men to elect four Presidential
Electors The Populists and Democrats
are going to have a good majority in the
LEGISLATURE Daniel w. Lawler will be the
next Governor, and the Congressional del
egation will be made up of four Democrats,
two Republicans and one POpulist."
Asked as 70 the outlook Chairman Jami-
son. of the Republican Committee, said: :
"The old-time Republicans are coming
back TO US in these last days OF the cam
paign and we shall have safe plurality
on an our candidates. Knutelson will be
elected governor by a plurality of $4,000 70
20 GOO. Five Of the Harrison electors will
win by %, coo and the other four by from
1000 to 10000. The Legislature will have
a Republican majority large enough to re-
turn Cushman x. Davis to the Senate, and
we shall elect every one Of the seven Con-
pressmen.n

KANSAS WILL BE CLOSE.
Popullsts and Republicans Both Claim tt
The Figures Given.

TOPEKA, KAs., November 3l.-There has
been a general tightening VI the lines OF
both political parties preparatory 10 the
desperate fight which will be made on elec-
ton day. If either party has made any
gains during the past week 1t is said by
those who claim to know that it Is the Re
publicans. Their campaign from all ap-
pearances has been pressed vigorously,
and the leaders say they will sweep every
thing. The fact Of tho matter is that nei-
ther the Populists nor Democrats have
made poll of the State. The Republi-
cans have carefully polled every county
twice, and in their estimate they say they
have given every doubtful vote TO
the opposition. OF this class there are
33, 900, and it is safe TO say that ten tons Of
literature has been sent 10 them Repub-
licans are Offering odds that they will elect
the State, Electoral and Legislative ticket
and that they will get seven Of the eight
Congressman. Peoples party leaders in
sist that they will carry their Electoral,
State and Legislative ticket and that they
will elect five out Of eight Congressman.
They deny that there is any appreciable
falling of in their vote, and that the Re-
publicans, who are figuring on that, viii be
sadly disappointed. They claim 45, 900 ma
jority for the Electoral ticket, 33, 900 for
the State, and a working majority in both
branches OF the Legislature. Chairman
Jones, Of the Democratic committee, tele-
graphed the National Committee: 1.-THE
vote in Kansas November is one that no
one can with certainty predict The fight,
il is believed, will be close, and whichever
party wins, it viii be by close margin"

ELKINs AT GRAFTON. -
Davis willing to Trade Anybody for Him
self-Enthusiastic Office Holders.
oTse,nL TskSorarn 10 the Rsois,sr


GRAFTON, w. VA, October 3l.-Secre-
tary of War Elkins is quartered at the
Grafton Hotel tonight and was met by q
number Of lesser lights including their
candidate for Governor. Thos.E Davis and
his would-be Secretary Of State, Ed. L. Al
len. of this place, Deputy Internal Revenue
Collector A. g. Love aud host Of others
after the crumbs from the Elkins table.
This seems to be Elkins' rounding up,
although he tried through Chairman Lip
pincott to secure the Opera House for
Monday night, the 9TH, in which TO read
his tariff essay. Commissioner Mason
was in the city ell day yesterday
and Is still somewhere in this
vicinity. Elkins declared to his believers
when he passed through here two weeks
ago that West Virginia's Legislature
would be Republican and he knew 1t, or
using his II know / can carry the State.'
The failure of Wisner to meet w. l..
Wilson in Joint debate at this place on last
Saturday knocked the stufing out OF them,
and their one hope now Is q Doodle cam
paign. Candidate Davis is spending
most Of his time here looking after BOYS in
his own Senatorial district and showing
them how to trade any and all others for
himself. One Republican has been known
TO approach at least twenty Democrats and
propose TO trade Davis for any other man
on the Democratic ticket. 1t is desperate
effort, with no enthusiasm except on the
part of the Federal officials

WHEELING W. VA TUESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 1892

Is President is the only honorable excep
ton, that am aware of, that refused 10
adopt this high-handed policy; indeed, to
their credit be it said pluck me- never dis
graced their works; they always paid
their men in cash. Having for years volun-
tarily carried out the provisions of two
laws, it didn't require a great sacrifice to
obey the third, and this they cheerfully did
They now pay their men in cash weekly
and have no stores, and coal is weighed be-
fore screening. Thus they carry out every
law demanded by our organization.
Az nearly al large collieries the COM
panies erect houses for their workingmen,
charging them, in many cases, an exorb-
liant rent Mr.. Stevenson erected about
zoo houses, each having a garden plot of
from half TO an acre Of ground. Instead
OF charging high rent like others, he
sold the houses and lots to the miners,
taking a fair rental in payment, and the
result is that ninety per cent Of his miners
own their own homes.
Secretary Mcbride, who visited Bloom
ington in the interest of the organization,
says he foand there the same apathy that
existed in the rest Of Illinois, and twice
failed TO get a meeting. Mr.. Stevenson de-
hvered the labor day address at Blooming
ton one year ago. his subject being The
Rise and Progress Of the Labor Organiza-
tiOn, and his workmen in one body visited
him after his nomination to tender their
congratulations. On all evipence attain
able, l would say that Mr.. Stevenson is not
an enemy Of organized labor.
Every respectfully yours,

IncendIarles in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o., October 31.-A striking
impression prevails that some Of the many
fires Of last week were the work of incen-
diaries. A workman who was making re-
pairs in the Severance block, Saturday, a
moment before the fire broke out saw a dark
cOmDleXiOned man pass quickly by him. II Q
is confident that the man was an incendi-
ary. Another incendiary hre which might
have caused heavy loss occurred at the
Grand Central theatre shortly before noon.
When the man employed TO take care OF the
electric light went 10 the rear OF the stage
he heard a cracking Of burning wood.
Hurrying to where the sound came from he
found part of the wall on fire. He called
upon several men near by who came with
pails of water, and the fire was extin-
uished before any damage was done. Some
one called the fire department, but the tire
was out when they arrived. Patrolman
Ferguson made an examination, ana tound
a large bundle Of excelsior mad been
placed in the scenery and small pieces
placed on top OF 1t to give it a start

PARKERsBURG. w. VA, October 81
This was gala day to the Democrats OF
this county. Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, the
candidate for Vice President on the DEM
ocratic ticket, spoke here tonight 10 an
audience of 4, 900 people in the Democratic
wiovam. while several thousand people
could not get within sound Of his voice.
The largest procession seen in this city
during the campaign marched through It's
streets in a blaze of red fire and amid the
cheers of packed streets and pavements,
from Third to Market streets, before the
speaking. Mr.. Stevenson had Travelled l5O
miles and made three speeches during the
dav. and was consequently very nearly ex-
hansted but for an hour and a half he held
the vast audience silent and spellbound
with the power of his logical argument.
His address was confined entirely 10 the
tariff question. which he handled in such a
manner as proved convincing TO the Re-
publicans themselves.
After Mr.. Stevenson closed on account Of
hoarseness Hon. j. j. Hemphill, member Of
Congress from South Carolina, and Hon.
Lawrence T. Neal, the Ohio statesman and
Democrat, addressed the great audience on
the subject of tariff and the Force bill. Mr.
Hemphiu is an attractive orator, and he
met with a most cordial reception from
THE THOUSANDS OF HEARRRs.
But when Lawrence T. Neal was intro
duced snch a storm of cheers and greeting
were given him as have seldom been re-
ceived by any public speaker during this
campaign.
MIR. Neal is an old West Virginia boy,
and was among people who admired him,
without regard TO his political affiliations.
The speakers were all sanguine OF Dem
ocratic success and as they were represen-
tatiyes from three different sections of the
country, the South, the Middle and North
western States, their encouraging news
added much to the enjoyment Of those
present. Among the great audience were
hundreds of farmers, many Of whom were
Alliance men before the speaking began,
but before it concluded they were as good
Democrats as any present.
The speeches undoubtedly did much, not
only towards encouraging an already en-
thusiastic Democracy, but they were Of
sllch convincing power that many who
went to hear them as Republicans went
away as Democrats. III numbers and en-
thusiasu is an indication Of success, then
as far as this section of West Virginia Is
concerned, il can be counted in the Demo
cratic column By an increased majority.
The party will leave on special car for
Wheeling tomorrow morning.
