ton of election returns in Chicago and

many respects will be on a scale never be-
fore attempted. and it is to be accom-

theaters and other resorts at the usual
rates. covering the country more rapidly
and thoroughly, it is said. according 10 the
greatly increased NUM- Der Of men employed
than on any previous similar occasion.
The most unique feature of the work
probably will be In the methods to be utl-
lied by the Long-distance Telephone Com

interesting new departure by furnishing
free to all who have telephones an extern

REPUBLICANS AGGRESSIVE.
They Have Made a Warm Fight
Down in Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, XIV, Nov. 5-Kentueky
will elect eleven Congressman for the full
term and one in the Tenth District TO fill
out the unexpired term of Congressman
Isle. deceased, four Appellate Judges and
county officers. The campaign has been
one of excitement from the beginning, the
Republicans being more aggressive than
ever before in this State. They have Dom-
nations for all the offices to be filed. the
Democrats will elect their Congressional
candidates in the First, Second, Fourth,
Sixth and Eighth and probably in the
Seventh. The latter is Breckenridge s
district, in which Owens is the nominee of
the Democrats and Judge Denny of the
Republicans. Ovens election is made
doubtful because many of the friends Of
Breckenridge have refused to support
him. The feeling between these factions
is intense and bitter. The really doubtful
districts are the Third, Fifth. Ninth,
Tenth and Eleventh. the chances being
about equally divided.
In this, the Fifth, there is a suppressed
feeling of excitement this evening which
forebodes trouble tomorrow. Over 100
Republican election officers have been re-
moved and Democrats appointed to sue
coed them during the past forty-eis hit
hours. The old officers were appointed to
serve for year, and as they have eleven
months yet 10 serve they will attempt to
take forcible possession of the books and
trouble will probably result.

shout OF mo" arose.
1t was found that a number OF women
whose husbands were at work were pres

and began to talk audibly, but were
hushed by the policemen.

hours, and again worked up the feelings oil

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The campaign
is over SO far as activity at the headquar-
tiers OF the three parties is concerned.
Nothing was done at any one OF them to-
day. Senator Faulkner, chairman of the
Democratic committee, was disguised to-
day when he learned that Secretary La

dent CIeveIand's CABINET who would go
home to vote. Secretary Gresham decided
last n light that his cold was too severe to
venture trip to Chicago, though 1t had
not prevented him from taking a long
drive on Saturday and giving ambassador
Bayard a dinner on Saturday evening.
Postmaster-General Bissell, who had reg
istered before be was informed of Mr..
Cleveland's unWillingness that any Of his
Secretaries should vote this year, found
this morning that the severe cold which
he contracted as soon as the Presidential
order was issued would prevent him, too.

Attorney General Olney did not deem it
worth bis while to 60 to Massachusetts, to

licans the election of 1873 members of the

in Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 5.-Minnesota will to-
morrow elect a full State, Congressional

WHEELING, W. Va, Nov 5.-The eve
of the election in this State finds the Re-
publicans in more confident humor than
they have ever been On similar occasion.
In the First District they claim Dovernor's
election to Congress, and the betting men
are Offering odds on him. Democrats do

The Republicans Expect to Gain Four

me Republicans EXPECT TO UaIn -FOUR
Congressman.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.-The political cam
paIgn closed quietly here tonight. Only
State offices are to be filled, and the Demo-
cratic candidates for these will be elected
by probable pluralIties of 1900 to 20, 900.
Two years ago the Democrats had plur-
atty of $4,000, but since then the Populists
have greatly Increased their strengt b, and
the new blood has been largely drawn
from the Democratic party, which, of
course, will diminish the Democratic
plurality.
In the Congressional districts the Re-
pubilcans claim they will gain two and
possibly four members. In the Twelfth
District in this city they expect to elect
Sterrett over Cobb. the present member,
and in the Fifteenth. which is in the lead
and zinc mining region of the State, they
expect TO elect Burton. A hot fight has
been waged in the Fourth. or st. Joe Dis
trict. the Fifth. or Kansas City District.
and the Eleventh, one of the St. Louis
districts, and the vote will probably be
close, with the indications in favor of Joy
(R) in the Eleventh, and Ellison and
Tarsney 3D. in the other two. In the
L!Sulu lIiokliCG AOilECl DlCh DIdUu Will
no doubt be reelected by a small plurality
The other districts will elect Democrats,
except the Tenth, which is the only dead
sure Republican District in the State
The Democrats assert that there will be no
other change in the State delegation, but
admit that the Democratic maiorities will
be somewhat reduced in the lumber region
of the Fourteenth and the mining region
of the Fifteenth.
KANSAS CITY, No., Nov. 5.-There is
absolutely no truth in the report sent from
here by special correspondents that Gov
ernor Stone had ordered the Third Reg-
ment. n. G. NJ, to report for active duty
at the armory in anticipation of a riot be-
tween the A. P. A. and the regular politi-
cal organizations at to-morrow's election.
The only possible basis for the story is
that Colonel Simonds of the Third Regi-
ment ordered Company ID on duty Tonight
and Company A tomorrow morning for
the purpose of guarding the armory. The
order was made on the coloneps own re-
sponsiDilty. Under the law, if militia are
placed in active service, 1t must be on the
| written call of the Mayor and Sheriff. who
must first exhaust all other means 10 pre-
serve the peace.
