They claim from two to four Congress
pect to elect two of the ten Representatives
under ordinary conditions. They are max
ing fight in all but one district with an
earnesuess which signifies great conf
Gence. The factional divisions which have
almost destroyed the party in the state
during the last two elections have all been
cured and they are presenting solid front
In the fight Moreover, there is quite
strong protection sentiment In the state,
which Is calculated to aid them in the
campaign. especially in the iron and ccal
regions. The districts regarded as most
doubtful are the first, second, ninth, tenth
and sixth. The democrats are not willing
to admit the probability of the republicans
carrying more than one district, the sixth
being regarded as the weakest.

West Virginia is the most doubtful state
of ALL Each district is in doubt, and which
very small majority. Alderson's district.
which was regarded at first even more
doubtful than Wilson's, is new claimed by
the democrats to be safe Apparently the
democrats have been gaining considerable
ground during the progress of the cam
paign, and Wilson'S election by very small
majority is regarded by conservatives as
probable. The democrats are in more dam
ger, apparently, of losing the first district,
now represented by Pendleton. The state
belongs in the doubtful column in all calcu-
lations on the next House. and probably for
a week afte- the election it will rot be
known which party has won.

The democrats are expected to hold three
of the six districts they now have in Wis

should be extremely gratifying to them, but
Mr.. Wall, the chairman of the democratic
state committee, claims more. The republi-
cans are claiming the state and a majority

Wyoming has been considered a republi.
can state, although its one Congressman,
at-large was elected by the democrats In
1892 by a majority of about 500. The re
publicans expect to overcome this majority
this year, but the democrats do not admit
the probability. Carey's attitude on the sill
yer question, and the old issue which arose
from the cattlemenS invasion, give hopes
of all anti-republican legislature.
Utah.
The last campaign before statehood
comes to Utah is now on with full force
and both parties are battling for the con
troll of the constitutional convention, which
as it will fix the legislative apportionment
for the new state, is regarded as the most
important thing to be fought for. AS the
first Legislature will have the duty of elect
ing the two Senators, the contest for IL
overshadows the election for delegate tC
Congress and for county officers
The vote for congressional delegate In
1892 was: Democratic, 1921; republican
II, 4O5; liberal, $3.50.
The candidates for delegate to Congress
are:

At present the outlook is favorable fol
the democrat party. 1t has a strong ma
chine, and is spariDg no efforts to bring the
voters out. In Salt Lake City, which is
likely to prove the key to the situation, II
has much the better constitutional ticket
as it has nominated two of the strongest
men in the Mormon Church, and combined
with them equally strong men, who viii
draw support from outside The republic
cans, however, have a good organization
with some of the best politicians at its
head, and are sparing no efforts to pluck
victory from what is still very uncertain
defeat.
