good fees; besides it will be stroke of

policy to get them.
 l have borne the expenses of this cam- paign mainly, and now my money Is ex- hausted. Our candidates claim that they have not the means, and this Is true with the most of them. If we succeed in hold ing the state it is the end of democracy here, tor we have had for years the major ity, but through the election machinery we have been defrauded. If you can do anything for us name the amount by wire immediately upon the receipt of this. We have been arran ging to employ counsel by wire where needed, if We Can raise the means. The democrats say they have given up the state, but information comes to us that they intend to do their work be- fore the canvassng boards tomorrow.
 Some of the unguarded politicians are saying that they have the machinery and expect to use it and do not intend to give up the state; tthat the court beats voting.' have made estimates in thirty counties in the states on definite inforna- tion and in these counties we have gained 20, ,0OO over the vote of two years ago, and have gained in these counties thirty i've members of the house oat of forty six, and it seems that this ratio will be kept up, except in the First and Ninth districts, and in these we have gained about 5000.
 Pearson's majority in the Ninth is 192. and Skinner's in The First is about oOO. Yours truly, A. D. HoLToN,
 Chairman State Executive Committee.
 Chairman Babock tonight telegraphed reply to this letter, directing the republI- can IT managers to take the necessary steps to protect their congressman and that the committee would stand by them.
 OH WHAT A ROAST.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 8.-In the con- gressional fight Dockery of the Third dis trict, Tersney of the Fifth and Cobb of the been elected on the face of the returns. Hatch in the First district is clearly beaten by Clark. Halleck in the Second, for whom there were strong hopes until now, has surely gone down., Ellison Eighth "Silver Dick" Bland's rural con- stituency has given him the go-by in favor of Joel Hubbard. In the Ninth Champ Clark has been defeated by Treloar Of Adrian, a school teacher with protection tendencies. Barthod in the Tenth, Joy in the Eleven tn and Ranney in the Thirteenth swell the republican column. The Swamp Angel'' district of the southeast, the Fourteenth, where only democrats were supposed to live, has elected Mosely, the republican candidate. For the first time h twenty-five years the south east has failed to come up rock ribbed for the dem ocratic ticket. The antl-free silver, lead ore men in the Fifteenth district left Morgan at home by 160 in favor of Judge Burton. Counties which have never gone republican since the ex-CoD federates were restored to citizenship have elected the en- tire repu blican ticket. Analysis of the vote as shown by returns received at democratic headquarters shows that no portion of the state has been exempt from the shaking up. It is just as bad down along the Arkansas line as it is up on the Iowa borders. The Mississippi river coun ties are as badly "slumped' as is the tier which borders Kansas. Two years ago the democrats had ninety-two mem bers in the lower house of the legsa- ture ana the republicans forty eight. This time the democrats and populists combined will not be able to muster more than strong minority.
