A Weeks Good Business Looked for in

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 8.-T4 Iron
Trtde Reoiep this week says: '"If all
the postponed buying Of the FAST few
weeks should materialize, now that the
election is over, for which buyIrs were
awaiting, there is COED wek's BUSH
ness ahead in iron and steel With few
exceptions iron and steel manufacturers
are protectionists, and nowI that the
country is practically beyondthe posi-
bility Of further advances toward FREE
trade for two or three years atthe least i
is to be expected that the bus mess polly
of individual buyers will h3 goverpsd
by their judgment as to thf improsed
outlook.
Sentimental improvemenH is alrddy
present, the next developms nt to beek-
pected is an improved demand andla
freer trading. The week Under reyidw
has been uneveutful in every sellllg
center, For three weeks there has lHen
dwindling in the volume of busilhss
and statesmen have heard much oithe
desire Of their customers to wait for
election. Some furnacemen indeed lave
been holding off, for this reason p1fer-
ing to take their changes on pore
spirited market after protectioIvic-
tory rather than push sales on the Eeak
market that has been experience of

came out accompanied by runner

him with both hand and voice, he
went to the quarter post in SO seconds,

A Claim That the Cold Water Party Has

Tho Prohibition party claims gain
over the State of about % per cent in
Tuesdays vote over that of 1882. The

1t is asserted that but for the close
drawing of lines in the recent campaign
the vote of the party would have Shown
a much larger development. In many

The 80 special policemen that were
sworn in by the board of policemen on
election day were stationed proportion

themselves admirably. Chief Dolan
secured cab and visited every polling
precinct during the day and saw that
the regular police force and the special
police were attending strictly to their
dudes.
The manner in which the police and
special policemen conducted themselves
is favorably commented on by citizens
regardless of party affiliations. The

TO REpIsrRIor nIscoNsIs.
This is the Fruit of the Republican Vic.
tory in That State.


WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. S.-Chair-
man Babcock of the Republican Con-
grossional Campaign Committee is
especially elated over the report that
the Republicans have carried the State
Senate in his State of Wisconsin. He
says this was the initial fight of the
campaign and in some respects the most
important part of it, from Republican
standpoint owing to the fact that the
Republicans desire TO redistrict the
State and have been unable to do so
because of the opposition of the Demo-
cratic Senate.
He is now assured that the Republi-
cans have the Senate as we'll as the
House and says they will certainly re-
district the State at the next election.
The Senate consists of SO members.
There are II hold-overs of whom the
Democrats have IA and the Republicans
3. Mr.. Babcock is assured, however,
that these odds will be overcome by the
Tuesday election.
