NOW FOR RESULTS.
Work All over ut Democratic Headquart.
in Washington.

WASlllNtIION, November l.-kSpeclaL)
Work Is practically over at political
headquarters IN this city, and the mana
gers of the campaign at this end of the
line have nothing 10 do but sit down
and answer any Inquiries which may come
from the various districts. They have
few callers these days. and the main
thing now IS to wait for results after the
ballots are cast next Tuesday. More In
terest IS felt in Washington at present
in the New York contest than that Of
any other state, owing to the fact that
50 much depends on the outcome. The
Republicans are not only trying hard 10
elect their State ticket and carry the
Legislature, together with the cOnstitu-
tiondl ame ndments. but they hope TO cap
ture five congressional districts now held
by the Democrats. Should they succeed
they vii! make a substantial gain toward
acquiring majority in the next House,
and at the same time viii have con-
troll Of the state delegation in the event
the Presidential election of 1896 is thrown
into the House. That is point being
watched carefully by the managers Of
both Of the old parties.
Senator Faulkner does not think the
Republicans can possibly gain more than
two districts in New York. and he is not
yet willing to concede any losses up
that way. inasmuch as there are two dis
trlcts now represented by Republicans
which are close and were formerly held
by the Democrats This is particularly
true Of the seventeenth New York Dis
tr.ct. in which Mr.. Eugene ;. Ives Is
the Democratic candidate. As stated In
this correspondence two weeks ago. Mr..
Ives Is well known in virginia, as ne
and he spent many of his summers du-
ring his bOyhOod days and youth az
WarrcntOn. where he has number or
relatives and friends.
