Washington, Sept A. - Reports are
J coming in rapidly TO the demacratic con
gressional campaign committee. The re-
ports from states where the contest is
sure TO be spirited is of far more interest
than the returns from either Maine or
/ Arkansas. These reports all show that
/ the democrats are steadily gaining in
I many Of the doubtful states. and the cam
/ palgn committee expresses confidence
/ that the republicans will not have the
landslide that their wise men are predict
/ ing.

/ delaware yesterday, where he had made
I a nun Der CT campaign speeches at the re-
! quest OF Senator Gray. he called al cam
/ palgn headquarters and his report from

entire state and his following is increas-
ing.

! OF several counties in Idaho are TO be per-
mltted to vote for the first time this year,

Gov. West of Utah, a democrat ap-
| pointed for second term from kentucky,
who is now practically in control of the
state politics, said to me when here the
other day that he had no fear of Utah
being carried by the republicans. Gov
West will continue to keep his grip on
Utah, as he hopes 70 represent that state
as soon as II becomes one, in the Senate
of the United States
From Wisconsin Secretary Gardner

Secretary Gardner says that in Indiana,

inch of ground, he believes that they
Will gain but little. Reports from all
over the state show the democrats in

More campaign matter has been sent into
the Hoosier state from Washington than
/ any other three states in the union
| lie says 1t is remarkable to see
the number of letters which are
received every Gay asking for campaign
literature. He says the morning after
Speaker Crisp delivered his speech in
Atlanta, there were over a thousand IN
quiries as TO how soon it could be sent
out from this point.
Secretary Carlisle's letter to Repre-
sentative Heard of Missouri is being sent
out as good campaign material for the
south and west. This letter officially
makes known that since July l over a
million and half of silver dollars have
| been coined. and that the coinage of sill
yer is being continued at the minis at the
rate of nearly million dollars per month

months 3,970,747 standard silver dollars
have been paid out in the redemption of
| treasury notes.
Col. Ike Hill, the democratic whip and
veteran assistant sargeant-at-arms has
gone to Ohio TO plunge knee deep into
the campaign. He has a long range poll
teal eve and his forecast of the political
situation in Ohio is regarded as valuable.
de thinks the democrats may lose one or
two of their districts At least he SAYS
the democrats will carry nine dis
tricts this fall and there is a strong
probability that they may not lose more
than one which they now hold. There
are twenty-one districts, of which the
republicans now hold ten and the demo,
Gratis eleven. He says, however, that nc
accurate estimate of the state can be
made until after the democratic conven,
ton meets.
Mr.. Carlisle is still the only cabinet
officer in the city. If the cool weather
continues, Mr. Cleveland will return by
the first of October, and the majority O
the cabinet will, of course, come back to
the capitol at the same time.
